Illinois Chess Bulletin archive
Illinois has a long and fascinating history of chess, much of which has been recorded in the state chess magazine, the Illinois Chess Bulletin, published by the Illinois Chess Association. The SCC is pleased to offer copies of the ICB archive here, with 187 issues dated between 1975 and 2009, when the magazine ceased publication and was replaced by online newsletters. Enjoy!
All documents are in PDF format. Titles shown in italics were originally internet-only issues. Most are between 1 and 5 megabytes; the largest is around 12 megabytes. The archive is believed to be complete for the years listed; if anyone has any copies from 1974 or earlier, or knows of the existence of other issues that are not included here, please let us know.
