Prof. Pagni's new CC bibliography - some help required!
We are pleased to welcome Prof. Carlo Alberto Pagni (Milano) as a new member of the Ken Whyld Association. Prof. Pagni worked as a Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at different Italian universities (Turin, Milano, Cagliari), owing to his studies and his professional duties he was early compelled to abandon OTB play which he had practised at first. From 1970 he applied himself to correspondence chess which is shown by numerous tournament participations and publications (articles, books, reviews).

Tim Harding is looking for old BCCA publications - help required!
At the moment Tim Harding is trying to trace copies of some old publications of the B.C.C.A. (British Correspondence Chess Association). After having largely exhausted his own possibilities (Cleveland library, The Hague online catalogue, British Library, ...) he makes now a request for help to our members giving this document (doc-file) with missing items.
The 1954 and 1957 yearbooks have been found meanwhile so they can be crossed off the missing list; the missing items seem to be all from before 1939 now.
Tim Harding can provide more details if needed, please mail to editor@chessmail.com
