1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, David Clayton, Mitko Iliev, Michael Atkins, Holger Lieske, Tarjei J. Svensen, Tom Beckman, Danny Rensch, Peter Doggers and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Corus tournament in Wijk aan Zee is in the very early stages. Pavel Eljanov leads with 2.5/3 half a point clear of a big group on 2.5 points including Magnus Carlsen. A long way to go. Plenty of chess elsewhere including the start of the PRO Chess League. An online rapid team league with many of the best players in the world signed up. It will be very interesting to see how this develops.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
