I even quoted this Hiarcs post a few days ago But the information got quickly buried under more hypothesis:

Do you know, steve, how jealous I am that you have those issues of La Puce (puce = computer chip, for those who don't know), when I don't? This "magazine" was only available under subscription, so it was very confidential (all the more considering that it was mainly oriented to PC when most users had an Amiga or an Atari, back in those days). I remember a friend at the chess club who was receiving it. He would come with it and I would borrow it for the evening.

I would never want to deprive you from your collection anyway, Steve. But I carefully watch eBay each day passing and, I don't know you, but as for me I never saw any issue on eBay since nearly ten years that I'm watching... (But I thought the same thing about the ICGA journal until I found half of the issues on eBay).

Actually Julien i made a mistake
i have issues 3-17 of La Puce
not issues 14-17 as i stated earlier
Issues 3-13 were in the back of a closet and i found them today while i was doing alittle Spring Cleaning Up

do you know the number of the very last Issue of La Puce?
Issue 17 covered up to June 1998

I'm not quite sure, Steve... According to the Chess Programming wiki there's been 17 issues... but the last one is dated from 1997, which doesn't match the date you gave http://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/ ... chiquéenne

Thanks Julien

the dates as printed on the first page of the last few issues... as i hold them in my hands...
14-Novembre 1996
15-Avril-97
16-Aout-97
17-Juin-1998

so then 17 is the last?

Confirming Regards

hopefully they didn't get that wrong as well Regards
