1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Aleksandar Savanovic, Laszlo Nagy, Goran Tomic, Jan Mazuch, Robert Ris, Bogdan Lalic, Vasilios Kotronias, Klaus-Juergen Herlan, Sandro Leonori, Dennis Monokroussos and everyone else who helped with this issue.

A very busy week of chess world wide. The top story is obviously the World Chess Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana. The games have been very tense and Caruana has had two chances to take the lead but the match is still tied at 4-4. In the women's event defending champion Ju Wenjun has made serene progress to the final without the need of tie-breaks. She faces Kateryna Lagno. The final is over 4 classical games before tie-breaks and the first game was drawn. But a huge amount of chess elsewhere making this a tricky issue to compile. I write this final intro much later at night than I have done for some time.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) World Chess Championship 2018

The World Chess Championship takes place in "The College" in central London (WC1B 4AF) Friday 9th Nov to Wednesday 28th Nov 2018. Defending Champion Magnus Carlsen faces Fabiano Caruana as his challenger. Play starts at 3pm each day. I will cover the games daily but I will have to be careful with updates of the moves during play and may not be around for the finish of every round. There are many sources of live coverage to choose from including the official commentary with Judit Polgar.

Bundesliga 2018-19

The German Bundesliga takes place 10th November 2018 to 7th April 2019. This is the strongest national chess league. The league suffered a large blow this year with the very last minute withdrawal of DJK Aufwaerts Aachen. By leaving it so late it meant that there was no time to even consider a replacement, and they didn't even offer a proper explanation. This means there will only be 6 matches instead of 7 per round.
