History
The United States Chess Federation was incorporated on December 27,
1939. In the early years, it had no office and no publication. In
1945 and 1946, USCF Annual books were published. In 1946,
publication of
Chess Life started as a bi-weekly
newspaper, usually eight or twelve pages long. In 1960,
Frank Brady converted
Chess
Life to a slick-covered magazine. In 1969,
Chess Life
merged with
Chess Review, the
other leading U.S. chess magazine. The magazine was published under
the title
Chess Life & Review starting with the
November 1969 issue until 1980 when it returned to the name
Chess Life.
