1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jonathan Cannon, John Saunders, Paulo Rocha, Patricia Llaneza Vega and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Just after last week's issue Vladimir Kramnik gave a simultaneous exhibition at the Dutch Parliament a traditional follow up to the Tata Steel Chess tournament. He then announced that he was ending his professional career. Kramnik has for some time said that he did plan to retire and he said that he made up his made a couple of months ago and it had nothing to do with his bad result. He will be looking to continue his work in the field of chess for children and education. Also he hasn't ruled out playing Rapid and Blitz events in the future.

Kramnik will be remembered for many things. His public career started with a bang as an FM when he was controversially selected for the 1992 Chess Olympiad in Manila where he scored 8.5/9. Kramnik worked for Kasparov in 1995 as a Second in the match against Anand which no doubt helped in his own match later. In January 1996 he briefly became World Number 1 when he caught Kasparov in the rating list. Kramnik's defeat of Kasparov in 2000 will be the defining moment of his career. Kramnik successfully defended his title in 2004 in Brissago against Peter Leko where he had to win the final game. He then played another career defining match against Veselin Topalov in 2006. This bitter match is controversial even now, Kramnik won after a rapid tie-break. Kramnik was finally defeated by Anand 6.5-4.5 in Bonn in 2008.

Kramnik's opening preparation was hugely influential for years, such was its quality. The Berlin Ruy Lopez and the Catalan openings come to mind but he was always on the lookout for new testing ideas. Kramnik will be missed but he's earned the right to choose and so it's not a sad occasion.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

6) Armenian Olympiad Team Qualifier 2019

The Armenian Olympiad Team Qualifier is a four game match (and a day of tie-breaks if drawn) between Haik Martirosyan and Robert Hovhannisyan to see who will play in the 2020 Olympiad although that seems a bit odd more than a year away so I wonder if this is quite correct.

The German Bundesliga takes place 10th November 2018 to 7th April 2019. This is the strongest national chess league. The league suffered a large blow this year with the very last minute withdrawal of DJK Aufwaerts Aachen. This means there will only be 6 matches instead of 7 per round.
