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. Moreover we support book publications and articles in magazines
which cover a chess historical background or enlarge the bibliography
of chess literature. Our long-term goal is the complete bibliographical
recording of the chess literature in an online database.
The Ken Whyld Association was founded at Brunswick in November, 2003,
and it was named after the English chess historian Kenneth Whyld
(* March 6th, 1926 † July 11th, 2003) who died in the same year.
We
organize an annual general meeting in Europe or in the United States
(Dresden/Wrocław, 2008; San Francisco/Mechanics' Institute,
2009; Antwerp, 2010; Bolzano, 2011) and we support additional regional
meetings or events of our partner organizations.
New members are always welcome!
You will find more detailed information about the admission to our
association on our page Members. |
