1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, David Navara, Goran Tomic, Jack Peters, Gyula Feger, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Peter Svidler added an 8th Russian Championship title four years since his record breaking 7th title. It seems unlikely this total will be matched for a very long time. Svidler defeated Nikita Vitiugov 2-0 in a rapid tie-break. This was the closest Vitiugov has come to the title and I felt a little sorry for him his good work was undone in the shuffle. Maksim Vavulin won the European Rapid Championship, Sergei Zhigalko the blitz.

Next week will be Christmas Day, there will be no TWIC on the 25th, my plan at the moment is to work towards it coming out a day early on the 24th, if not then it will be the 26th. The World Rapid and Blitz will also start on Boxing Day with World Champion Magnus Carlsen head a strong field.

I recently celebrated my 1200th issue (TWIC issue 1200). My thanks to those who have donated, these continue to be extremely important in allowing me to keep TWIC going. If TWIC is important and useful to you please consider giving a donation.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 70th ch-RUS 2017

The 70th Russian Championship and 67th Russian Women's Championship took place in St Petersburg 3rd to 15th December 2017. The venue is the State Museum of Political History of Russia.

Four years after his last title Peter Svidler made it an 8th Russian Championship after defeating Nikita Vitiugov 2-0 in a tie-break rapid match. Svidler moves well clear of his rivals Rashid Nezhmetdinov, who won five Russian titles, and Mikhail Botvinnik and Mikhail Tal who won 6 Soviet titles. Aleksandra Goryachkina won the women's title, also after a tie-break match, she defeated Natalija Pogonina 2-0.

30) British Rapidplay 2017

The British Rapidplay took place 18th to 19th November 2017 in Ilkley. This is a local event I cover every year yet it managed to completely escape my attention until this week. I'm shocked and surprised. Daniel Alsina Leal won with 8/10.
