1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Carl Fredrik Johansson, Dave Clayton, Miklos Orso, Gunnar Bjornsson, Mitko Iliev, Heinz Herzog of chess-results.com, Jan Mazuch, Ruben Pinus, Antonio Rosino and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Today there is a day free from elite chess but only a day. Tomorrow the replacement for the Tal Memorial normally held earlier in the year, the Petrosian Memorial, starts in Moscow with a top level field. Then on Friday there is the opening ceremony of the World Chess Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Viswanathan Anand. There's no need to hype these events to the readership of TWIC. Just plenty to watch. This week has a lot of good chess. The Tashkent Grand Prix was won by Dmitry Andreikin, the World Seniors has been a trip down memory lane for the older ones of us and there are a large number of games from various leagues. My home county of Yorkshire hosted a nice weekend tournament in Scarborough and the British Rapid play in Leeds with games available from both. Busy times ahead and I will have daily coverage of the more important tournaments.

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

The very strong German Schachbundesliga takes place Sat 18th Oct 2014 to Sun 12th Apr 2015. The next rounds are Friday 7th November for the first of the split round 7 (a retrograde step in my view, rather than finishing with three rounds they split one round in this very untidy way I can only think that there are financial considerations) and November 8th and 9th for rounds 3-4.
