THE WEEK IN CHESS 840 13th December 2010 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luis Blasco de la Cruz, Dave Clayton, Wolfgang Evers, Anuta Laurentiu, Mikhail Golubev, Yuri Vovk, Michael Kopylov, Holger Lieske, Miklos Orso, Douglas Griffin, Tim Dickinson (doing a fine job on the London Chess Classic bulletins for the events other than the Classic), Martin Matthiesen, Ivan Kocovski, Daniel Mueller, Georgios Souleidis and everyone else who helped with the issue.

Another exciting week of chess. The London Chess Classic has turned out to be a bit of a bloodbath with a high percentage of decisive games and also half the field in contention for first prize. I've been compiling daily reports for the website. Elsewhere the Women's World Championship, Russian Championships and Bundesliga are examples of other important tournaments.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
