Thank you for the free magazine, Roman. Since it's free, then it looks interesting. However, there is one enormous flaw, and that is the terrible English writing.
The magazine is written in English (this is probably your intended market) but the written content in the magazine is absolutely terrible. Besides the awful grammar, some sentences and phrases make no sense.
So, you may eventually alienate your English speaking market, in spite of what initially seems to be thoughtful game annotations, with the poor English writing.
So, while the magazine remains free, some will continue to read it. But I presume your intent is to either go commercial (i.e. subscriptions) or to get commercial support (e.g. advertising). If so, then getting somebody who can write well in English, as an editor, is absolutely mandatory.
Good luck to you and your team, Roman!
All the best,
Steve
, I think that the boards should be a little bit bigger. And one is cut (pages 15-16)
