1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Ram Soffer, Kristianus Liem, Miklos Orso, Adolivio Capece and everyone else who helped with this issue.

A very busy week at the top level. SOCAR of Azerbaijan overcame a first round loss to win the European Club Cup edging out Saint Petersburg. This event was very strong and no doubt contained a large number of important games. The Unive tournament got under way on Sunday and saw Hikaru Nakamura beat Anish Giri in the first round. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave won the SPICE Cup in St Louis holding on to a half point lead over Liren Ding and Le Quang Liem. The Bundesliga started this weekend and was scarred as a player was accused of using his mobile phone during the game. There was plenty of other chess worldwide in a good quality week.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

17) Bundesliga 2012-13

The Bundesliga first weekend took place 20th to 21st October 2012. Favourites OSG Baden-Baden started with two wins. The main story is that Falko Bindrich was accused of cheating by using his mobile phone during the game during frequent visits to the toilet during a game against Sebastian Siebrecht. He refused to show the contents of the phone and so he and his team were defaulted. There is also an appeal about his round 1 game the day before when he beat Pavel Tregubov.
