1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Hugh Brodie, Mitko Iliev and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Olympiad is well under way with the fourth round being completed earlier today. Top seeds Russia were defeated by Ukraine today and the USA also dropped a point, this is going to be a long and tough Olympiad for the favourites. The broadcast has by and large gone well and the bulletins have been complete so lots of chess to look at today.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
