Tiger on the Modern with GM Tiger Hillarp Persson

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Paulo Rocha, Yuri Vovk, David Clayton, Alex Onischuk, Gunnar Bjornsson, Thai Ly, Frank Braig, Jan Mazuch, Mitko Iliev and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Fabiano Caruana won yet another tournament this year when a last gasp victory over Wesley So in the Norway Chess tournament gave him clear first. Perhaps Caruana was a little lucky as he suggested afterwards, So played an extra move after the first time control that was losing, but you have to be in contention to win and Caruana is in contention a lot. The Norway Classic started well for Magnus Carlsen with a win over Caruana and a second victory over Aronian in Round 3 but Carlsen's progress slowed and whether coincidentally or not he lost to Wesley So in Round 6 just before a two day break due to the withdrawal of Ding Liren and he didn't look likely to win another. Caruana and Carlsen are some way clear of the rest and it seems likely their match in November will be between number one and number two in the world and that they may be very close by then. Carlsen will surely feel his title is really under threat.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
