1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jack Peters and everyone else who helped with this issue.

There was an amazing finish to the Gashimov Memorial with Shakhriyar Mamedyarov's amazing run to winning the event. After a slow start Mamedyarov won his final three rounds including wins against both the favourites Fabiano Caruana and Anish Giri. This put Mamedyarov into a tie-break match against Caruana where after surviving two poor positions in the rapid games he beat Caruana 1.5-0.5 in the blitz for probably the best result of his career. This has been a tremendous week of chess with lots of highly competitive chess in the important continental tournaments in Asia and the Americas and also the French Team Championships. To finish things off there was a very strong blitz tournament on ICC won by Alexander Grischuk who beat Magnus Carlsen in the semi-finals.

The legend that was Viktor Korchnoi passed away today. Korchnoi was not just a great chess player, he was an extraordinary man. He survived the Siege of Leningrad, continued developing as a player long after most playing his best in his 40s, he did not give in to Soviet government intimidation while playing their best players and continued to play strong chess well into his 70s. Not surprisingly he was a man of strong character and opinions. There was no-one quite like Korchnoi and we won't see the like of him again either. RIP.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

Lina Grumette, Bobby Fischer's chess mother, organized the first Memorial Day Classic in 1980. The tradition has continued since her death in 1988, and the tournament is now known also as the Lina Grumette Memorial. It is one of the larger annual tournaments in Southern California.

This year, top seed IM Philip Xiao Wang took first place with 5.5-.5 in the 43-player Open section. Wang had not played since 2013 but showed no sign of rustiness. Five players tied for second with scores of 4.5-1.5.
