Here we are, at the end of this issue, and no sign of it. Well , it's like this. We've been trying to catch up on our distribution date,;; you may have noticed that your August issue arrived within two weeks of your July issue. As part or our catch·up campaign, this issue was pretty well laid out, to include the Presidential Report, when we suddenly received a flood of Piatigo rsky septemba, 17·11 Cup material. HARTFORD We couldn't le;lgthen Ole issue and include both without delayi ng dislribution­ something we definitely thought you wou ldn't like. We reasoned that, given a choiCC!, you'd want t.he Piatigo rsky inrormation. So, Ihe Presidential Report has been held out for September. Hope you don't mind. And we guarantee to print it in September, even thougl1 it might mean more pages next month . • 196 CHESS LIFE
