1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Miklos Orso, Arno Nickel, Irina Gevorgyan and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Russian Team Championships saw some really interesting chess and with great variety. I wonder if we're seeing a change in the kind of chess being played with broader preparation being favoured over deeper, a little early to say but there were certainly some great struggles. Also the Khanty-Mansiysk women's grand prix has been interesting with daily live commentary too. Hou Yifan has started in dominant style with 4.5/5. Elsewhere there are interesting opens in Dubai, Bangkok, Fagernes, Kuala Lumpur Open as well as the Serbian and Danish Championships and the start of the Chinese League.

Many thanks to those who have donated so far to TWIC following my appeal after my 1000th issue. I've written my thanks to the people who have contributed so far. I'm very grateful and it has made a big difference to me. If you also wish to donate to help me keep TWIC going and move it forward then you can do so via PayPal at:

20) Uhlmann vs Korchnoi Match 2014

Viktor Korchnoi beat Wolfgang Uhlman in a two day exhibition event in Leipzig 28th to 29th March 2014. These might be Korchnoi's last games so I decided to make sure I had them right before publishing. The live videos are now available for replay and the games seem correct. Boris Spassky was advertised as Korchnoi's opponent but Spassky claimed he never received an invitation.

23) 'Intagrand' wins the Freestyle Battle 2014

Arno Nickel reports on the conclusion of the Freestyle 2014 chess tournament where games are played with a combination of man and machine play. Players can use unlimited resources: http://www.infinitychess.com/Web/Page/Public/Article/DefaultArticle.aspx?id=144

The two month battle of 30 high-skilled Freestyle chess players in an all-play-all online event had started on February 4th and finished in the night to April 11th. Anson Williams from England and his team of helpers behind the nickname 'Intagrand' won the title with 29 points a point clear of maximus. Williams is as close as there is to a veteran in such events winning tournaments as far back as 2007 (article from the Chess Drum about him here: http://www.thechessdrum.net/blog/2007/12/21/anson-williams-king-of-freestyle-chess/).
