THE WEEK IN CHESS 835 8th November 2010 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luis Blasco de la Cruz, Adolivio Capece, Dave Clayton, Kopylov Michael, Holger Lieske, Gerard Demuydt, Miklos Orso, Gediminas Sarakauskas, Gujuan Tzu, Arthur Brameld (doing that unsung job of entering games from scoresheets as well as ever), Anikt Gupta, George Mirijanian and everyone else who helped with the issue.

A Brutal week for me. The short issue last week should at least be made up for this week with a big selection of games. Doing a job like this is about habit, I've gradually deconstructed the routine I followed for many years and have needed for some time to construct a new one. I'm almost at the end of that process. This week I've been programming many routines into a structured system (I'm no programmer but getting better) and I'm running on fumes at the moment of writing this. Games this week were entirely processed by this new routine. Better details in the PGN, hopefully many fewer misidentifications of players (I hope to make that practically impossible). If you notice any weird errors in this issue, especially in the games section don't hesitate to let me know, I hope not, but this is material running through programs of my construction! I hope the format of the text will change next week, this week my hoped for new system for producing that didn't work out so I had to construct the text entirely by hand. There will be far more events in the calendar next week, didn't have time to get that working. So don't fret if your event didn't make it this week.

I've barely had chance to look at the games from the Tal Memorial but Levon Aronian's 3/4 start is a confirmation of his hot form. When did this happen? I like Aronian, but he went through a patch of playing horrible chess by his standards, maybe the Olympiad but I guess it must have been before. Anyhow he's certainly playing to his potential at the moment and may well be world number one in January.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

He notes that there was an illegal game. Nicholson vs Goris Schouwstra. Quoting him: "As I state in the notes to the game, "after Black's 15th move, White appears to have played an illegal move 15.Nf2 and both players played on presumably not noticing!? The remaining moves were 15.Nf2 Bc6 16.Qd2 Qc7 17.Rad1 Rcd8 18.Qe2 d5 19.fe5 de4 20.Bxe4 Bxe5 21.Bxc6 Nxc6 22.Ng4 Bg7 23.Qf3 f5 24.Nf2 Nc5 25.Qe2 Qc6 (0-1, 25) (AFB)"
