Chess Today was the first, and longest running, Internet-only daily chess newspaper,[1] having continued virtually uninterrupted from 7 November 2000 through to December 2020. It was distributed to subscribers by e-mail. Each e-mail had the PDF of the newspaper attached, as well as a small collection of recent games.[1] The editor and proprietor of Chess Today was Grandmaster Alexander Baburin.[2][3] Each edition contained at least one tactical puzzle, an annotated game, and world chess news. Other elements of the publication included 'On This Day', endgame analysis and chess reviews.[4] Chess Today also conducted and printed interviews with at least four former World Chess Champions.[2][5][6][7]
