Would really like to know what the reasons were that you removed Dustin and the chess duel. It was the page you looked forward to reading the most. Almost thinking about unsubscribing!
Oskar Norlin
Hello Oskar!
Very sad to hear that you miss Dustin and the chess duel. The answer I received is that we constantly review the magazine’s content and costs. Now we have decided to remove the bridge and chess column as well as Dustin. We understand that the people who actually read them find it boring, but as an editor you have to make tough priorities all the time.
Hope you can find something else you like in the magazine. Have a nice Sunday!
