US Chess Digital Archive is Live
As announced at the 2019 Delegates Meetings, US Chess has been working on digitizing its archive of Chess Life and Chess Review magazines (as well as titles such as Chess Life & Review).
1996, Yerevan, World Olympics. Garry Kasparov and Vladimir Hakobyan. Russia-Armenia. Instead of one strong team - fifteen! - wrote one of the newspapers, implying 15 teams from the former USSR.
