Molham Hassan profile and Oz Archives update

14 Aug. 2014 | by Peter Wong

Canberra resident Molham Hassan has contributed a profile article to the Australian Problemists section. A surgeon by profession, he got involved in chess problems in the 1970s, and has been composing regularly since. He produces mostly traditional two- and three-movers, and eight of his best works are presented here.

Nigel Nettheim has provided another instalment of problem columns from the Australasian Chess Review. Covering the year 1944, the file can be viewed or downloaded from the Problem Magazines and Columns page. Previously Nigel has also re-processed some existing materials from the Oz Archives to make the PDF-files more accessible in size, such as the ACR 1930a/b and 1931a/b, and all of the Australasian Chess Magazine. Thanks, Nigel!

And here I quote another amusing comic from xkcd, titled “Explorers.”
