1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mikhail Golubev, Shyam Sundar T, Mitko Iliev, Etienne Van Leeuwen, Sylvain Ravot, Osmani Pedraza Ledon, Peter Doggers, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The European Individual Championship starts on Tuesday in Minsk with a strong field headed by Andreikin, Navara, Jakovenko and Jobava. The Capablanca Memorial is under way with Vassily Ivanchuk returning to try and win yet another title. The leading Cuban players are missing this time, I don't know if there is an underlying dispute. The strong French Team Championship saw Clichy take the title by a point from Bischwiller.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
