1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mitko Iliev, Jan Mazuch, Sam Copeland and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Wesley So ended the year by winning the London Chess Classic and started it with a win in the Tata Steel Masters. So went undefeated and scored 5 wins. Magnus Carlsen finished in second place but by his own admission his play following his failure to find checkmate against Anish Giri was below his normal standards. Carlsen should try and address this over-reaction to things going against him, it's starting to look like his major weakness. So and Carlsen will meet often this year it will be interesting to see what happens. Meanwhile the Gibraltar Masters continues with many of the best players not in Wijk aan Zee completing.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
