1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mitko Iliev, Jonathan Cannon, Lennart Ootes, Dennis Monokroussos, Pedro Alberdi, Henri Koskinen Pier Luigi Basso, David Clayton, Ivic Mateo and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FIDE Candidates tournament is finally under way in Berlin. Before it started I felt that any of the 8 players could win the event depending on how their preparation had gone. However when put on the spot I somewhat surprised myself by predicting Vladimir Kramnik. It is very early days but Kramnik leads on 2.5/3 and looks in very reasonable form. Half a point behind are Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Fabiano Caruana and it maybe that these three will be the ones to fight it out for first but with 11 rounds to go very much can change.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
