1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, J. Vilela, Adolivio Capece, Rohan Waithe, Jack Peters, Miklos Orso and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Another really action packed week. Levon Aronian won the Alekhine Memorial on tie-break from Boris Gelfand in one of the strongest events of the year. Veselin Topalov won the Grand Prix in Zug by a point and a half. These players now move on to Sandnes, Norway for a tournament starting on Wednesday. Magnus Carlsen and his manager Espen Agdestein made a last minute effort to enforce a bidding process for the World Chess Championship match against Viswanathan Anand. They tried to halt the ultimately unstoppable momentum for Chennai. It's pretty clear that FIDE politics was going to ensure this as the venue and it seems that whilst disappointed there is no chance that Carlsen won't play in Chennai. There are potential positives in the match being in Chennai but the pressure is really on the Indian Chess Federation to do the job right in an event that is the biggest opportunity for chess in a long time. The US Championships also got under way this week as did the European Individual Championships. These are by no means the only significant events of a very busy week.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

The Old Capital Open took place in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria 1st to 6th May 2013. Velislav Kukov won the event with 7/9. The event was a bit mysterious as it was removed from chess-results.com and the leader Borislav Ivanov disappeared from the standings because three players refused to play against him and he became ineligible for a prize.
