64 is a Russian chess magazine and draughts publication, published in Moscow. Its name referred to the number of squares on a chessboard. The magazine awarded the Chess Oscar annually.

History

When it first appeared in 1924, 64 was published as a magazine, but in 1935 it changed to a weekly newspaper. Nikolai Krylenko was the editor from 1924 until his death in 1938 in the Great Purge. The publication was interrupted in 1941 by World War II and resumed after the war. In 1968 it was revamped as a weekly magazine by Alexander Roshal and World Champion Tigran Petrosian. Vasily Smyslov was an assistant editor. Petrosian was editor until 1977 when he was fired after his loss to Viktor Korchnoi in a quarter-final Candidates match.

In 1986 64 published excerpts from Other Shores by Vladimir Nabokov, the first work by Vladimir Nabokov ever openly published in the USSR. Roshal was severely punished even though at that time Anatoly Karpov was editor-in-chief. In 1992 the magazine fell upon hard times and ceased publication but Roshal privatized it and publication was resumed. It has been published twice a month, and since 2000 monthly.
