Welcome to the Journal of Chess Research Web Site
The Journal of Chess Research is published quarterly in Lexington, Kentucky, and distributed to university libraries, academicians, chess players, researchers and other interested parties both in printed and electronic formats. Each issue is intended to contribute broadly to awareness and understanding of the impact of chess on human development, psychology, cognition, philosophy, sociology, aging, business strategy, education and technology. Manuscripts that make strong empirical and theoretical contributions to the field of chess-related research are welcome from scholars throughout the academic community, both in the United States and abroad, and need not be tied to any particular discipline, level of analysis or national context.
The role of the distinguished members of the advisory board is to provide guidance and advice to the editorial team and to the publisher on an ongoing basis. As of May 15, 2014, the Journal of Chess Research Advisory Board members are:
– Grandmaster Lev Alburt, New York, NY, author, chess teacher, former U.S. Champion
– Ms. Amy Bowllan, B.S. Concordia University, NYC, Emmy winning journalist
– Dr. Neil Charness, Florida State University, active researcher on the subject of chess & aging issues
– FIDE Master Leontxo Garcia, University of Madrid, Spain, international journalist
– Professor Manuel Guillermo Nieto, Colombia (SA) School of Engineering, Int. Arbiter
– Grandmaster Susan Polgar, Des Peres, Missouri, former women’s World Champion
– Grandmaster Kenneth Rogoff, Harvard University, Cambridge MA, former U.S. Champ
Great idea.
Sorry, I left Dr. Neil Charness of Florida State University off the first list. He is an active researcher on the subject of chess and aging issues. JCR welcomes Dr. Charness to the Advisory Board. – Frank Niro
