In 2000, to mark the Millennium, two brothers started publishing a little magazine described as a cross between Mad Magazine and Chess Informant.  Madcap, irreverent, and clearly different from other chess magazine, Yetman Brothers' Descriptive Chess Magazine was one of a kind. It was published nine times a year: New Year's Day, Winter, April Fools' Day, Spring, 4th of July, Summer, Hallowe'en, Autumn, Christmastide. The brothers ceased publication of the magazine in 2009, but their spirit and their writing lives on in their monographs.
