Published tri-annually by Nick McBride in London and distributed by Lisle Cormier in North America, the first issue of Draughts Razoo was released to the public in June 2003. Of the well-known periodicals of old, Draughts Razoo most resembles the Keystone Checker Review. World Champion Alex Moiseyev endorsed Draughts Razoo at the U. S. GAYP Nationals in August 2003, saying that he found material in the Razoo that improved even his game. Click here for more information about Draughts Razoo.
