Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context? 

Context:

The British Chess Variants Society (or BCVS) was an association of chess variant players and developers active between 1997 and 2010. The Society took over publication of "Variant Chess", a chess variant magazine which had been published since 1990; the magazine ceased publication with the dissolution of the Society.

Hypothesis: The Society took over publication of "Variant Chess" but nothing changed
It's impossible to say
