1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Petr Herejk, Andrej Znidarcic, Lennart Ootes, Neville Twitchell, Miklos Orso, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Russian Team Championships gather wider attention not so much who wins the title, but for the strength of players competing. For the record St Petersburg took the title but it was a tremendous feast of chess. Rather worryingly just less than half the games are missing, hopefully they will turn up. Sad news for those of a certain generation with the news that Robert Byrne has died at the age of 84. Byrne reported on Fischer at his height and then in his 40s became a Candidate and was something of a force in the 1970s. Chess legend Garry Kasparov celebrated his 50th birthday. Kasparov has been retired as a player since 2005 and has made it very clear there is no chance of a return. Elsewhere there has been plenty of interesting chess and with the start of the Grand Prix in Zug this week there starts a really nice period of top level chess. Much to look forward to.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) TCh-RUS 2013

The Russian Team Championship took place in Loo which is part of Sochi 6th to 14th April 2013. St Petersburg won the title in spite of losing their final round match. Hopefully there will be a file of games from those not broadcast live as just less than half the games are currently missing.
