1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Mikhail Golubev, Dario Pedini, Dario Pedini and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Levon Aronian leads the Tata Steel Masters with a marvelous 5.5/7. His performance has been amongst his best so far and there is anticipation of what he might do in the final four rounds. The Masters and Challengers groups have both been fascinating. Otherwise this has been a pretty quiet week with just a few open events after the Christmas New Year period.

Many thanks to those who have donated so far to TWIC following my appeal in the last two week, I will be writing to you all shortly. If you wish to donate to help me keep TWIC going and move it forward then you can do so via PayPal at:

Hope you enjoy this issue.
