1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Petr Pisk, Gerry Graham, Bogdan Lalic, Patrick Bensch and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen retained his World Championship title with a dominant performance in the rapid tie-breaks. Carlsen was winning in game 2 and won games 3 and 4, finishing with a spectacular sacrifice rather than an alternative prosaic finish that would also have sufficed. This was Carlsen's closest title match so far and one in which he didn't fully convince. He raised the possibility of using a sports psychologist, his frustration at Karjakin's resistance seemed in part to be the problem. Karjakin performed well and if he'd converted one of the two brief chances in games 5 and especially 9 he may well have been champion himself. This was his first title match and afterwards he was clearly unhappy with his opening preparation. One assumes he got to play very little of what he worked on and felt he forgot that which he had to use, he also believe he worked too hard on it prior to the rapid rather than getting his mind right for the tie-breaks. Given another chance and I'm sure he'll have his own ideas on how to prepare.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
