1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Wolfgang Weisser, Mitko Iliev, Jan Mazuch, Lennart Ootes, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

A week after the World Championship we're seeing most of the rest of the elite in action in London. The leader of the Grand Chess Tour Wesley So leads the event with 3/4 half a point clear of Aronian, Kramnik, Caruana and Nakamura. So has also gone over 2800 in the live rating list. I expect him to be a real force in the next world championship cycle.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
