1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mikhail Golubev, Andrew Rea, David Clayton, Roland Wimmer, Umesh KC, Yochanan Afek and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The World Rapid and Blitz in St Petersburg, Russia was the first major event organised under the new FIDE leadership. After a bad 0/2 start Carlsen almost ruled himself out of the rapid title at the start. Daniil Dubov was the one to take advantage, Carlsen managed to get within half a point but the damage was done at the start. Carlsen earned a 10th World title by winning the blitz event racking up an impressive 17/21 undefeated but Carlsen was forced to win his final round game as Jan-Krzysztof Duda pushed him all the way. Women's World Champion Ju Wenjun was an impressive winner of the women's rapid, Kateryna Lagno won the blitz also undefeated. All in all a very enjoyable tournament. The full coverage of the event has meant that I've broken the record for the number of games in an issue again (last time July when I went over 8000 for the first time.

There are the usual Christmas and New Year events. This is also the final issue on the final day of 2018. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2019, we should fervently hope for that.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

21) Vladimir Galakhov Memorial 2018

The Vladimir Galakhov Memorial took place in Odessa UKR on 23rd Dececember 2018.

(Report by Mikhail Golubev). "For the first time in this decade as many as seven local grandmasters competed in an Odessa tournament. It happened on 23th December 2018 in the Vladimir Galakhov Memorial, all-play-all blitz (time rate 3+2) with 12 participants.

A coach, master and the multiple winner of the Odessa championships, Vladimir Galakhov (1949-2017) was a friendly and respected person is the chess circles of Odessa and whole Ukraine. He passed away in December 2017, one year ago. The tournament was initiated and supported by Galakhov's pupils: Vladislav Bliumberg, and IM Igor Berezovsky who currently resides in Monaco. Three of Galakhov's pupils were among the participants: Bliumberg, GM Andrey Sumets and IM Roman Tisevich. Two players performed incredibly well, and their personal encounter in Round 8 turned to be decisive. GM Yury Drozdovskij eventually scored 10.5/11 and GM Stanislav Bogdanovich made 9,5/11. Drozdovskij, who was the European rapid champion in 2006, plays in tournaments once in a blue moon these days, but showed a very good form. While Bogdanovich's combination 31.Bd6!! in a game against Sumets, who finished third with 8/11, certainly was one of highlights of the event.

The games were video recorded - with exception of games of GM Nikolay Legky who usually objects against publication of his games by organisers, and thanks to a video recording, majority of other games were reconstructed and saved in PGN/Chessbase format after the tournament.

There were various reports in the local media, including TV Krug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pnpMJGT58M Vladimir Galakhov Memorial 2018 FB page: https://www.facebook.com/events/272224353467895/"
