Tiger on the Modern with GM Tiger Hillarp Persson

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jim Hollingsworth, Paulo Rocha , Gunnar Bjornsson, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Women's World Chess Championship has started in China to very little fanfare but it has been an enterprising struggle so far between Wenjun Ju and Zhongyi Tan. The Bundesliga finished in a tie in Germany, there will be a playoff soon. The 4NCL and Hungarian Leagues did finish however with winners. One of my favourite little tournaments the Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament has its last round tomorrow Grandelius will probably have to beat the mercurial Alexander Morozevich to be certain of first ahead of Vidit and Tari.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

28) 16th Red River Shootout

The 16th Red River Shootout took place on Saturday 21st April 2018. Oklahoma’s dreams of a FOUR-PEAT were spoiled by Texas, 30 to 22, in the 16th Red River Shoot Out (RRSO) chess match between two teams representing each state. This is the same event the late Frank Kim Berry was very involved with. Texas now leads the series 10 to 6.

Jim Hollingsworth reports: "Texas beat Oklahoma 30 to 22 in RRSO XVI, the annual team match between the most fanatical chess players in Oklahoma and Texas. The match had 26 boards with an Okie and a Texan at each. An 8-point margin may seem like a lot, but it really isn't for a 52-game team match. If only two boards had flipped in both rounds one and two, the score would have been tied 26-26 and Oklahoma would have gotten its FOUR-PEAT."
