1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jonathan Cannon, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Peter Fransson, Lennart Ootes, Goran Tomic, Patrick Bensch, Tim Wall, Assi Philosoph, Miguel E. Gomez Masjuan and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Valentina Gunina won the 1st Cairns Cup in Saint Louis after holding her nerve to get the draw she needed against her closest rival Alexandra Kosteniuk in the final round. I know many are against women only events but I liked the idea of this tournament and hope it will continue. It's unusual for women's events to dominate the news but the short exhibition match "The E-dream World Chess Queens Summit" in Shenzhen where Ju Wenjun beat Kateryna Lagno can't go unremarked, It was broadcast on one of the main Chinese sports channels to millions of viewers which doesn't happen that often with chess.

In a couple of days Saint Louis has its Champions Showdown, no Garry Kasparov this year but Nakamura, Dominguez, Wesley So, Caruana, Topalov, Duda, Harikrishna, Rapport and Navara should be interesting enough. There's also the Aeroflot open in Moscow starting tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

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.

34) Napoleon Chess Trophy 2019

The Napoleon Chess Trophy took place on 16th February in La Roche-sur-Yon which was founded by Napoleon Bonaparte. To commemorate the 250th Anniversary of Napoleon's birth there was a 7 game blitz exhibition between Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Jorden Van Foreest. Two Blitz games, two Chess960 games, two games in the Napoleon Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Qf3) - both lost by white and finally a blindfold game. MVL won 4.5-2.5 but I guess that was hardly the point.
