In the July 2026 issue of British Chess Magazine:
Praggnanandhaa’s victory at Norway Chess, where Carlsen faltered and Gukesh struggled — a tournament that may well be remembered as a generational marker.

We also examine the place of classical chess in a faster age, and what that means for the players.

Chess art historian Larry List revisits Marcel Duchamp’s life in chess and art in the light of a major new New York exhibition.

IM Shaun Taulbut reports on Harry Grieve sealing his Grandmaster title requirements in Budapest.

And we pay tribute to Jimmy Adams — respected chess master, historian and publisher.

Plus the usual favourites: Problem World, Quotes and Queries, and Endgame Studies.

BCM — all the chess you need.
