SUMMARY:Birthday of Mark Crowther (16-v-1966)
DESCRIPTION:Birthday of TWIC founder\, Mark Crowther (16-v-1966) \nFrom Wikipedia : \nThe Week in Chess (TWIC) is one of the first\, if not the first\, Internet-based chess news services. It is based in the United Kingdom. \nTWIC has been edited by Mark Crowther since its inception in 1994.[1] It began as a weekly Usenet posting\, with “TWIC 1” being posted to Usenet group rec.games.chess on 17 September 1994.[2] Later it moved to Crowther’s personal web site\, then to chesscenter.com in 1997\,[3] and in 2012 it moved to theweekinchess.com.[4] \nIt contains both chess news\, and all the game scores from major events. \nTWIC quickly became popular with professional chess players\, because it allowed them to quickly get results and game scores\, where previously they had relied on print publications.[5] \nTWIC still exists as a weekly newsletter\, although for important events the TWIC website is updated daily. It remains a popular site for up-to-date chess news.[6]
