The Franco Files
Author, gambit specialist and archivist Franco Pezzi has gathered several unique game collections - now made available to ChessCentral Members! Each database covers an important phase of chess history, and includes games, notes, documents, pictures and dossiers which bring the period to life. Here you’ll find rare games and images, along with coverage of important figures in the history of chess. Note: the annotations and text files are in Italian - but don’t be alarmed: it is quite easy to follow along...and fun, too!
ChessCentral is pleased to offer an expanding collection of high-quality articles for your enjoyment. The articles are each in a self-extracting .exe file. Most articles are presented as a .cbv file and require Chess Ebook and Article Readers.
Franco Pezzi is the force behind the Gambitingly project, and maintains a high-quality website at www.gambitchess.com
