1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Arthur Brameld, Ted Strong and everyone else who helped with this issue.

As I write the third game of the world chess championship in New York between Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin continues. There have been two fairly tame draws so far but I expect more today. I still believe these matches are too short at 12 games and in looking at the schedule I see that with a rest day every 3 days rather than every 2 14 games could be played in the same time and presumably at nearly the same cost. I really think we should do this. Elsewhere the very strong European Club Cup finished with Alkaloid taking the men's title and Cercle d'Echecs Monte-Carlo. Viswanathan Anand leads the Champions Showdown in St Louis going into a final day of blitz.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

12) Hampshire Open 2016

The Hampshire Open took place 4th to 6th November 2016. My thanks to Arthur Brameld for the full game file. Anthony Corkett won with 4.5/5.

Extract from John Wheeler's report : "Hampshire Chess Association 2016 Congress (Eastleigh, 4-6 Nov 2016) Tony Corkett has beaten Marshall Thompson's record of nine wins in the Hampshire county championship by winning this year's title. This is his 10th win, and his 3rd in the last three years. But he did not have it all his own way. He was a 1/2 point behind Matt Chapman going into the last round, but a convincing win over Matt gave him the title. Second place was a tie between David Fowler and Keith Gregory, with Matt Chapman winning the Under-175 Grading Prize. Open 1st (4 1/2 Pts) Tony Corkett (Fareham) 2nd = (4 Pts) David Fowler (Gosport) and Keith Gregory (Fareham) Under-175 Grading Prize (4 Pts) Matt Chapman (Fareham) 12 started, 11 finished."
