Blitz'n'Pieces


This is a page set up to store issues of the Edinburgh University Chess Club newletter, Blitz'n'Pieces.

These issues were originally created using TeX by Steve Rix, running the chess TeX macros of Piet Tutelaers for figurine fonts and chess diagrams. They have recently been converted to HTML with the help of Xbdtohtml, a Perl script written by Patrick Surry. The HTML diagrams use GIF files derived from XBoard; these are available on Patrick's chess page. Things like accents are created using HTML Coded Character Set - this page has been extracted from documentation buried somewhere in the mass of information available at http://www.w3.org/

As usual, select one of the later issues and use the "View"/"Document Source" feature to see how the diagrams work in HTML.

We present the following issues:

  1. December 1992
  2. November 1992
  3. February 1993
  4. March 1993
  5. October 1993 and IM Mark Orr's report on the centenary Scottish Championships
  6. February 1994
  7. December 1994
  8. December 1995
