Tiger on the Modern with GM Tiger Hillarp Persson

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Goran Tomic, Osmani Pedraza Ledon, Adolivio Capece, Lennart Ootes, Jack Peters, Laszlo Nagy, Robert Klomp, Felix Kleinschmidt, Petr Pisk and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen started the Norway Chess tournament with a win against his challenger Fabiano Caruana. Carlsen will be looking to improve his classical form ahead of the match and this is a good start. Ian Nepomniachtchi started the Karpov Poikovsky with two wins. Other strong events include the French Team Championship and the China-Russia match. Baden-Baden won the Bundesliga for the 12th time in 13 years after beating Solingen in a playoff.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
