1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mitko Iliev, Tapio Tikkanen, Mattias Lestander, David Clayton, Dennis Monokroussos, Patrick Bensch and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Viswanathan Anand won the World Rapid Championship in Riyadh a title he last won in 2003. Magnus Carlsen chased him hard before losing to Alexander Grischuk in the final round. Carlsen was some way off the pace after the first day of the blitz championship but scored a blistering 8.5/9 to secure the title with a round to spare. Sergey Karjakin and Viswanathan Anand were a point and a half behind. Carlsen plays Hikaru Nakamura in the final of the chess.com speed chess. Carlsen was delighted to finish 2017 with the blitz title. 2018 will see him defend his main World Title in November, he will certainly hope to play better classical chess than he did in 2017. There is much to look forward to I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2018. I will be glad to put 2017 behind me and hope for a better 2018.

2) World Rapid and Blitz Championships 2017

The World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships took place 26th to 30th December 2017.

In the Rapid event Viswanathan Anand beat Vladimir Fedoseev 1.5-0.5 in a bitlz tie-break to win the title. Anand took a quick draw in the final round and had to wait for other results before knowing he was in a tie-break, Magnus Carlsen shared the lead with him but lost to Alexander Grischuk. Anand last won the rapid title in 2003. Ju Wenjun led the women's rapid for much of the event and took a quick draw to ensure the title in the final round.

The blitz championship was won by Magnus Carlsen who was two points behind the leader Sergey Karjakin going into the final day but only took 4 rounds to reach the lead. Carlsen scored 8.5/9 to secure the title with a round to spare finishing on a score of 16 points.. Karjakin finished second and Viswanathan Anand added a bronze medal to his gold in the rapid, both finished on 14.5 points.
