Recognition for Atticus CC

“It took me hours ploughing through all the stuff on Atticus CC, but I am better informed as a result. I feel generally uplifted by the open and honest debate, and the sense that there are still people out there working intelligently to improve the running of British chess. It’s probably the best British chess website", John Saunders, editor, British Chess Magazine. John's comment in full.
