The Chess Monthly was a short-lived monthly chess magazine produced from January 1857 and May 1861 in the United States.[1][2] Edited by professional diplomat and linguistics professor Daniel Willard Fiske, it was co-edited for a time by Paul Morphy.[1][2] The magazine was based in New York City.[3]
Eugene B. Cook (1830–1915) and Sam Loyd edited the chess problems section. Running for only five volumes,[2] it is perhaps best remembered today for a series of articles written by Silas Mitchell regarding The Turk, the chess-playing machine that perished in a fire in Philadelphia prior to the publication of the magazine.
