The Lazy Najdorf from Ginger GM

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Hans Groffen, Graham Jurgensen, Pedro Alberdi, David Clayton, Roland Wimmer, Ivan and Alex Baburin, Dimitar Iliev and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Saint Louis Rapid and Blitz is the top event of the week but matches involving Chinese players at home (Ding Liren plays Topalov) and abroad (Wei Yi plays Ernesto Inarkiev) are also of major interest. In Abu Dhabi it's still all to play for with a couple of rounds left. Again lots of summer chess including the Spanish Team Championships with strong players.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
