In April 1978, Computer Chess became a monthly department in Personal Computing, initially a continuation of [[Douglas Penrod|Douglas Penrod's]] [[Douglas Penrod#Newsletters|Computer Chess Newsletters]], from January 1979 until March 1981 edited by [[Harry Shershow]] supported by [[Morris Miller]]. The magazine also covered computer games like [[Checkers]], [[Othello]], [[Gomoku]], and [[Go]] - [[Thomas A. Throop]] had a computer [[Bridge]] column.

In April 1978, Computer Chess became a monthly department in Personal Computing, initially a continuation of [[Douglas Penrod|Douglas Penrod's]] [[Douglas Penrod#Newsletters|Computer Chess Newsletters]], from January 1979 until March 1981 edited by [[Harry Shershow]] supported by [[Morris Miller]]. The magazine also covered computer games like [[Checkers]], [[Othello]], [[Gomoku]], and [[Go]] - [[Thomas A. Throop]] had a computer [[Bridge]] column.
