1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mitko Iliev, Ramos Sterian, Jakub Fuksik, Dave Clayton, Lennart Ootes, Fons van Hammond, Lennarth Eriksson, Tapio Tikkanen and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen finished his year with a win in the Qatar Masters after defeating Yu Yangyi. Carlsen had a mixed year but in spite of losing about 20 ratings points he can probably be satisfied. Anish Giri and Hikaru Nakamura both caught my eye with consistancy over the year and next year's Candidates results look very tough to predict. Carlsen is back in action in 10 days. I'm looking forward forward to in 2016. This issue has lots of great chess from the Christmas and New Year period.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Qatar Masters Open 2015

The Qatar Masters Open took place 19th to 30th December 2015. World Champion Magnus Carlsen heads a stellar field. It is possible that this is the first appearance by a reigning World Champion in a Swiss Open at standard time controls since Boris Spassky played in Vancouver in 1971. Vladimir Kramnik, Anish Giri, Wesley So, Sergey Karjakin, Li Chao, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Evgeny Tomashevsky, Pentala Harikrishna, Dmitry Jakovenko Yu Yangyi, Wei Yi etc. 18 players rated over 2700 and 50 over 2600 compete. Magnus Carlsen won the event after defeating last year's champion Yu Yangyi 2-0 in a tie-break. They had tied on 7/9.
