1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Arthur Brameld, Etienne Van Leeuwen, Zlatko Klaric and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The World Chess Championship Candidates tournament has reached the final stretch. Magnus Carlsen escaped with a draw against Vladimir Kramnik and holds a half point lead over Levon Aronian after the latter self-destructed against Vladimir Kramnik. Whilst Carlsen hasn't won yet it's in his own hands now, can he grab the opportunity. The event has seen wonderfully exciting chess. Hopefully they'll give this format a long run. This has worked much better than the Candidates matches two years ago. One worry will be that the event will be decided by weak play from the tail-enders. Vassily Ivanchuk has mishandled his clock terribly in a number of games yet played quite OK in others it would be a shame this ended up being the only reason someone qualified. We'll know all by next week.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
