Ken Whyld Association








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.

Jurgen Stigter


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.
