While the main content is that of a normal backgammon magazine, I plan totake advantage of the internet to make it as interactive as possible toget you, the reader, involved. Some of the ideas are:
1) An ongoing match between myself and the readers, with the reader'splays determined by their own vote. Naturally I will keep an runningcommentary on the match.
2) A monthly quiz, which allows the readers to submit theiranswers online.
3) A letters to the editor column, where I will attempt to answerall letters I receive. This may evolve into a bulletin board in thefuture.
Another advantage of an on-line magazine is basically unlimited space.We are not limited to what will fit into some fixed number of pages or thepublishing costs get too great. While in a normal backgammon magazine youwill be lucky to find an annotated game or two, here you will find a fullyannotated match every issue. The annotation will be as long asnecessary,since there are no space limitations. Also you will be able to get agraphical picture of all the candidate moves and compare them for everyplay, something which would be impractical for a normal backgammonmagazine.
So, enjoy this demo issue, and I hope you choose to subscribe. I have keptthe subscription cost as low as I reasonably could, in the hope of stayingwithin more readers price range. Also, feel free to e-mail me atkwoolsey@fibs.com any ideas,criticisms, or anything else. My goal is for this to be your magazine,and for everybody to have an enjoyable time with this product.
