1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Jean Hebert, Stephane Mouchel, Luis Rodi and everyone else who helped with this issue.

A quieter week. The Baku Open is heading for a conclusion and is probably the main event of the week. We see the start of the Baku FIDE Grand Prix on 1st October and that should be a very exciting tournament. The World Youth Championships saw a big turn out and I give available games from the top groups as they require a lot of work.

The London Chess Classic has announced the six players: To Caruana, Anand, Kramnik, Nakamura and Adams has been added the name Anish Giri.

As I mentioned last week TWIC turned 20 on September 17th. You can read my article 20 years of TWIC. which includes a full listing of all issues including all the texts. I have all the PGNs but that's a very large file but a ChessBase cbv archive format can be bought for £30 which will help me head out from this landmark. The cost of TWIC is basically my wage so any support would be very welcome as it's very tough surviving on pure advertising, although that has been essential too and I thank them too.

If you also wish to donate to help me keep TWIC going and move it forward then you can do so via PayPal at:

Send a £30 donation via Paypal and contact me via email (Email Mark Crowther - mdcrowth@btinternet.com) I'll send you an address for a ChessBase cbv file of my personal copy of every issue of the games in one database.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
