Back issues of Chess Life magazine can be downloaded as .pdf files from the United States Chess Federation (USCF) Chess Life and Chess Review Archives here (your download might be slow, so be patient)...

from the web page it appears that downloadable copies are currently only available through 2019. Though not positive, I suspect that 2020 editions will become available in 2021, and/or one year after initial publication.
Hello chess.com community!
In short: I'm looking for Chess Life August 2020 edition, as it is (too) expensive to order to the place I live (Europe). I would love to have printed version, but reading digital one is also great! Story below:
Recently I got an idea to check and compare the chess magazines by myself. I did my research on the web and I picked these:
I've already ordered NIC and BCM to enjoy their printed versions. However, shipping cost of Chess Life disappointed me very much (starting from $30). I tried to get digital edition, but I need a USCF Members account, which I can't get, because I'm from Europe (Poland). No USCF ID.
So I decided to write here and ask if maybe somebody has access to the pdf version of Chess Life August 2020 and would like to share.
