Fairy Chess Review (FCR) was a magazine that was devoted principally to fairy chess problems,[1] but also included extensive original results on related questions in mathematical recreations, such as knight's tours and polyominoes (under the title of "dissections"), and chess-related word puzzles.
These were published by the British Chess Problem Society (BCPS) as an offshoot of their magazine The Problemist which began in 1926.
The first two volumes were supported financially by the Falmouth businessman Charles Masson Fox who was also a problemist, who died in 1936.
[citation needed] From volume 3 onwards the FCR was independent of the BCPS, although most of its contributors were members.
The editor from 1930 until August 1951 was Thomas Rayner Dawson who died in November that year.
