1) Introduction

My thanks to Alexander Prokhorov, Roland Wimmer, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Hu Xi, Zsuzsa Veroci, Miklos Orso, Peter Long, Ventzislav Inkiov, Chris Bird, Dragan Babic, and everyone else who helped with the issue.

After a long break we're heading into a very active period of elite chess. To start things off the Russian Team Championships are under way in Sochi. Heavyweight chess with stars such as Fabiano Caruana, Anish Giri, Alexander Morozevich, Peter Svidler, Dmitry Jakovenko, Ian Nepomnichtchi play. This will lead nicely into the Vladimir Kramnik against Levon Aronian match at the end of the month and the World Chess Championship Anand-Gelfand match next month. Liren Ding captured his 3rd Chinese title whilst still a junior. Hikaru Nakamura turned up in Victoria in Canada to hack up a weekend open. The 16th Neckar Open in Deizisau saw Istratescu edge out Shanava on tie-break with Bacrot half a point further back. More good chess to look at. Finally Lajos Portisch celebrated his 75th birthday on 4th April by winning a rapid tournament in his honour. A world championship candidate from the 1960s to the late 1980s he was a threat to all but the very best and is still playing to GM standard today.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 19th Russian Team Championship 2012

The 19th Russian Team Championship19th Russian Team Championship takes place 8th-16th April 2012. The event is not an 12 team all-play-all with a Premier Group and promotion group. Instead it is a 7 round swiss system sprint with 17 teams. Apart from the obvious savings in time and presumably money one wonders if the organisers hope that this format will help produce a more tougher attitude for the national team. There will certainly not be much room for slips. ShSM-64, Moscow are the favourites with Caruana, Wang Hao, Leko, Giri etc (2725 average) ahead of Economist-SGSEU, Saratov (ave 2720) Morozevich, Tomashevsky, a returning Nepomnichtchi, Eljanov etc, St. Petersburg Chess Fed. (ave 2711) Svidler, Vitiugov etc and Tomsk - 400 (ave 2708) Karjkan, Ponomariov etc. Jakovenko, Shirov, Sutovsky, Sasikiran, (but oddly no Ivanchuk who usually plays these strong team events) also compete. Very, very strong. The women's event takes place alongside.
