1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Miklos Orso, Luis Esquivel and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The World Chess Championship got under way in Chennai on Saturday. So far there have been two brief draws but I fully expect the match to really start in the third game on Tuesday. The European Team Championships are well under way too with many of the world's strongest players. Elsewhere there are a few events scattered about but the focus is clearly on Chennai and Warsaw.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
