1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Pierre Becker, Miklos Orso, Mitko Iliev, Alon Cohen, Mathias Morin and everyone else who helped with this issue.

An interesting week of chess with Magnus Carlsen drawing a very interesting exhibition against voters on the VG newspaper website in Norway who produced a TV quality video show. The Capablanca Memorial, US Championships and Karpov tournament in Poikovsky are all of interest and started this week. The Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament starts Thursday. Plenty to look at.

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:

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) Carlsen vs Norway Match 2014

Magnus Carlsen took on the rest of Norway in a match on the VG Newspaper website on Thursday 8th May 2014. There was a television quality program for over three hours presented by Mads Andersen. The whole event was hosted by the Oslo City shopping center. A team of three wise men Simen Agdestein, Jon Ludvig Hammer and Leif Erlend Johannessen suggested moves and their suggestions were voted on by the public. Carlsen had one minute to decide on his moves, his opposition five.

Hans Olav Lahlum enforced the rules (he took Carlsen's mobile from him when he started voting) and had his own team of experts in the sofa area.

A striking "Mystiske Nordmannen" dressed in red made the moves at the board. The audience tried to guess who it was, he wasn't good at chess having to be prompted to play the right moves. It turned out to be skier Oddvar Bra who is famous in Norway.

Carlsen looked well on top at one stage but got a little careless. The three players could ask for help from Houdini three times each during the game by ringing a bell. Houdini or they found a strong counter-attack eventually Carlsen decided to force a draw.

"Like facing a quiz master using Google" Espen Agdestein.

A really imaginative event that worked very well.
