1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Philip Feeley, Jack Peters, Denis Vretenar, Ian Rogers, Yuri Vovk and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Nutcracker Match of the Generations was a nice event to bring up the Christmas period. This is already in its 5th year and seems here to stay. The Sunway Sitges Chess Festival has quietly strengthened in recent years. This time Dmitry Andreikin and Vasil Ivanchuk were the top seeds but it was a remarkable 8/10 for the 27th seed Alvar Alonso Rosell that won the event. The 56th Groningen Chess Festival traditionally runs over the Christmas period and leads us into those events that start in the few days after including the Rilton Cup, Hastings, Zurich, Basel and many many others. In recent years its also been the time for the World Rapid and Blitz Championship which this year is in St Petersburg after a last minute move. World Champion Magnus Carlsen heads a stellar field starting on Boxing Day. I wish everyone a Happy Christmas or at the very least seasonal greetings.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

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. This means there will only be 6 matches instead of 7 per round.
