Until 2005 it was a paper magazine with co-publisher and [[ChessBase]] co-founder [[Frederic Friedel]]. Today the magazine is available online <ref>[http://www.computerschach.de/ Computerschach und Spiele - Startseite]</ref> with Steinwender as sole publisher and editor in chief <ref>[http://www.computerschach.com/index.php?option=com_akolegal&Itemid=45 Computerschach und Spiele, Impressum] (German)</ref> and shareholder of ''Steinwender EDV-Beratung GbR'' <ref>[http://www.steinwender.de/cms/front_content.php Steinwender EDV-Beratung GbR]</ref> with the associated ''CSS-Shop'' <ref>[http://www.computerschach.de/shop/index.html?http://www.computerschach.de/shop/xaranshop_53_1.htm CSS-Shop]</ref> <ref>[http://www.computerschach.de/shop/index.html?http://www.computerschach.de/shop/xaranshop_53_1.htm Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen der Steinwender EDV-Beratung GbR]</ref> .
