Two volumes and 30 issues were published 1976 - 1987. Edited and published by G.P. Jelliss.
The subtitle The Journal of Generalised Chess was introduced from issue #14 onwards.
The first three issues were produced by letterpress, the diagrams being set by hand using metal type. Thereafter it was produced by photocopying, the diagrams being set up using letraset transfers. All issues were A5 page size. The first six issues were of just 8 pages, and the next four of 12 pages, then it went to 16 pages for three issues. The final issue of volume one was of 12 pages including a four-page index for the whole volume. The quality of the master copies varies, so on some of the chess diagrams the chequering is indistinct.
Volume two began at issue #17. From #21 onwards these PDF copies are reproduced from the original B5 paste-up copies, (which were reduced to A5 when printed), so these copies are more detailed and hence have larger file sizes. There were four Special Issues devoted to single topics, namely #22 Notes on Knight's Tours, #24 Theory of Leapers, #26 Magic Tours, #28 Chessboard Dissections. (I have put a line through tour 03b in the catalogue of 8x8 magic knight tours in #26 since it was included in error and is not magic.) The final issue, numbered 29+30, besides original work includes notes on issues #17 to #28, and a 3-page Index to the volume.
