THE WEEK IN CHESS 901 13th February 2012 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Alexander Prokhorov, Roland Wimmer, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Ian Rogers, Jonathan Hains and everyone else who helped with the issue.

This week saw the announcement that London will be the venue for the Candidates tournament October 23rd to November 13th 2012. A new company called Agon run by a US businessman Andrew Paulson will take over the cycle according to an announcment by FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. It isn't clear what this means for the 2010 deal with CNC. This week the Aeroflot Open is the strongest event. This is typically tough and Mateusz Bartel and Pavel Eljanov lead on 5.5/7 with a couple of rounds to go. Also there was a large amount of team chess all over Europe. The remaining weeks of February and the whole of March seem relatively empty of top events but then from April onwards things promise to get very busy indeed. April for the Aronian-Kramnik match, May the World Chess Championships between Gelfand and Anand. Russia will also play team matches against China in March (announced this week), and China in July. June sees the Russian Championships and Tal Memorial. Then the Olympiad and Candidates later. Also we're awaiting an announcement about the return of the Linares tournament shared with an unknown Mexican venue which should be around the end of April. Lots to look forward to later in the year.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 11th Aeroflot Open 2012
