The Week in Chess (often abbreviated to TWIC) is one of the first, if not the first, Internet-based chess news services.

TWIC has been edited by Mark Crowther since its inception in 1994. It began as a weekly Usenet posting, with "TWIC 1" being posted to Usenet group rec.games.chess on 17 September, 1994. [ [http://groups.google.com.au/group/rec.games.chess/browse_thread/thread/1ac19b7ed805af60/615ecb887a1f1c67?lnk=st&q=&rnum=34&hl=en#615ecb887a1f1c67 The Week in Chess 1] , Usenet newsgroup rec.games.chess, September 19 1994] Later it moved to Crowther's personal web site, and later still to its current location at chesscenter.com.

It contains both chess news, and all the game scores from major events.

TWIC still exists as a weekly newsletter, although for important events the TWIC website is updated daily. It remains a popular site for up-to-date chess news.
