Ginger GM - Chess Grandmaster Simon Williams

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mitko Iliev, Jan Mazuch, Lennart Ootes, David Navara, Grant Oen, TJ, Ular Lauk, Miklos Orso, leonid Sandler and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Wesley So won the last major event of the year and with it the Grand Chess Tour as a whole. So seems now settled after his move to the United States and while some think he's still a little bit too solid on occasion it's clear he's in the top 10 for the forseeable future and will be a force in the next world championship cycle. Predictions are in some ways a bit pointless in chess but I've thought for some time he has what it takes and the next year will tell us more.

Have a great Christmas everybody.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

3) British Knockout Championships 2016

The British Knockout Championships took place 8th to 16th December 2016. It's really part of the London Chess Classic but I found it easier to separate out the two events. Nigel Short beat David Howell 3.5-2.5 in the final winning the last game.
