No. 004
Chessex Volume 11 Issue 5
The fourth issue of Chessexonline is now available!. Download your copy of Chessexonline 004 here - no subscription required! Previous issues are still available from the downloads section below. See the ReadMe1st file for download instructions and User Guide.
Chessexonline features:
- on screen navigation via bookmarks - no more fumbling through pages trying to find the item you want!
- all games in each issue are also supplied as pgn files as part of the download and can be played through on screen using your pgn viewer.
- All games published in Cheesexonline are also available in a single archive, the Chessexbase downloadable pgn database, together with backloaded games from old issues of CHESSEX - see Downloads;
- alternatively, you can print it out and read it the old fashioned way.
I am interested that you should enjoy Chessexonline to the full. If you have any problems downloading and accessing the Chessexonline features or have any suggestions for its future development, please email me: Ian Hunnable
What do I require to download Chessexonline?
To download and use Chessexonline you will need a pdf reader - I recommend the Adobe Reader which can be downloaded from the button link below - and (optionally) a pgn reader to play through the games on screen. If you do not yet have a pgn reader I now recommend the excellent DGT Chess Theatre program. This is a free download and is well worth having. Follow the download link below.

Print out a subscription form from the Downloads section below, fill it in and send it to me with a cheque for £6.00.

Adobe Reader
.pdf files (Portable Document Format) require a pdf reader such as the Adobe Reader. Click on the icon below to download Adobe Reader. This is free to download, but its a biggy. For Broadband users, this will be no problem, but for those with a standard 56K modem it will take a long time. Pick a time when your phone line will not be in demand or, better still, use a download manager which will enable you to split the download over several sessions. You only have to do the download once and it is worth it.
