It is our association’s concern to bring
together the information scattered worldwide from collectors of chess
literature and extensive chess libraries, and thus give the public access
to it. Our aim, the comprehensive bibliographical recording of the entirety
of chess literature in a database, is certainly a very ambitious undertaking,
which can only be realized to a large extent and in a reasonable time
by means of a worldwide network.
Chess friends of all countries and continents are asked to contribute
to the success of this project by giving their assistance.
The initiator of this idea was the Dutch collector Dr Jurgen Stigter,
whose appeal led to the formation of the "Amsterdam Group"
in November 2002. The official foundation of our Association which was
named after the English chess historian Kenneth Whyld
(* March 6th, 1926 † July 11th, 2003) took place in November 2003.
