In the December issue of BCM you can read about a mysterious 18th century manuscript that is puzzling the chess world. Diving deep into historical links and research, all the way down to François- André Danican Philidor and the roots of the London Chess Club - we try to untangle the enigma of its origins and the unusual notation used in this script. The Editorial team takes a look back at two events in 2022 which are likely to have a significant impact on chess and its future. GM Aleksandar Colovic offers his analysis of the Pool A of the Women’s Candidates Tournament as well as the World Team Championship where China triumphed. An art historian talks to BCM about the ideas connecting chess and design. GM Ray Keene takes a look back at the wisdom of the great Harry Golombek, while Ian Watson offers his festive problems in his Turkeys for Christmas article.
