1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Paulo Rocha, Alex Holowczak, Hugh Brodie, Kjartan Maack, Henri Koskinen, Ted Strong, Gail Young, Dennis Monokroussos and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Top seed Parham Maghsoodloo's convincing win of the World Juniors is the top story this week. The Iranian player coaches himself and actually wrapped up the title with a round to go. He was defeated in the last round but it didn't take much of the shine from his performance of 9.5/10 before that. The girl's event winner was a surprise Aleksandra Maltsevskaya from Russia was untitled and the 19th seed. Congratulations to both. The Champions Showdown in Saint Louis was a Rapid and Blitz Chess960 tournament. I've added the games to the end of this issue as they can cause problems with software not designed to read it. It remains to be seen if we'll have more and more of these events or not. Next Monday sees the start of the FIDE Olympiad, this means chess elsewhere is winding down this week.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

Final combined scores (rapid points worth double the blitz points): Topalov 14.5-11.5 Kasparov, Nakamura 14-12 Svider, So 15.5-10.5 Giri, MVL 17.5-8.5 Shankland, Aronian 17.5-8.5 Dominguez. I've put this event last because people may want to find and delete the Chess960 games.
