The British Chess Variant Society

The British Chess Variant Society was formed on Saturday, January 4, 1997. The founders of the society can mainly be found among those involved with the periodical Variant Chess: president David B. Pritchard has a column in the journal (and is well known in chess variant circles for his Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, and in wider circles for several other books on chess and other games); treasurer Peter Wood was the former editor of Variant Chess; the other board members are George P. Jelliss and John D. Beasley (secretary of the BCVS).

Variant Chess is now the periodical of the organization, but also continues to be the nice and informative journal on chess variants as it was before.

The British Chess Variants Society started to organize UK variant Championships (by postal play) for several chess variants - these are open only for members that live in the U.K.

One becomes a member by subscribing to Variant Chess (or vice versa).
