1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jonathan Cannon, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Rainer Polzin, Nicolas Brunner, Lennart Ootes, Petr Boleslav, Radim Boruvka, Assi Philosoph and everyone else who helped with this issue.

A very interesting week of chess with a number of strong events. The World Team Championship in Astana, Kazakstan is being led by Russia, a couple of points ahead of India and England with 4 rounds to go. The 1st Prague International is a very nice addition to the calendar that I already hope the event has a long future ahead of it. Jeffery Xiong won the Saint Louis Spring International before the US Championships which start shortly at the same venue.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

7) 11th dMP Batavia Chess 2019

The 11th dMP Batavia Chess took place 1st to 10th March 2019. Players: David Arutinian, Max Warmerdam, Arthur Pijpers, Simon K Williams, Stefan Kuipers, Koen Leenhouts, Rick Lahaye, John T.H.Van der Wiel, Lopez Jasel, Felix Meissner. Each day starts with blitz games. The idea was to produce draw odds for one player in the main classical game but this fell afoul of FIDE regulations so it will only be for unofficial standings. Arthur Pijpers won with 5.5/9 according to conventional scoring, I have no idea how the proposed alternative system using the blitz games worked out..

The German Bundesliga takes place 10th November 2018 to 7th April 2019. There were a couple of round 12 and 13 matches this week in Viernheim. I found a few issues with the round 12 games so I will wait until next week to publish these games. Round 13 should be fine.
