1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Roland Wimmer, Tim Wall, Kristianus Liem, Tim Harding, Akram Jemai and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Next week I will be starting to celebrate my 25th year of TWIC. The first edition appeared on September 17th 1994, three weeks after this anniversary will be another landmark, the 1300th edition. I can't really believ it. The Opening Ceremony of the FIDE World Cup took place in Khanty-Mansiysk today. The event runs until Wednesday 2nd October and many of the best players in the world will compete. Garry Kasparov played Fabiano Caruana in chess960 in Saint Louis and was soundly beaten 19-7. The task proved a little too tough for the retired former world champion but it would be a pity if this was the last we see of Kasparov as there is no need to play someone quite as tough as this next time.

The Summer Chess season is coming to a close and the size of the TWIC magazine is returning to something like normal. I'm quite relieved as some weeks have taken a huge amount of work and I set two records this summer for the number of games.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

38) Champions Showdown 9LX 2019

The Champions Showdown 9LX took place in Saint Louis 2nd to 5th September 2019. Four matches using a version of the Chess 960 variant with both rapid and blitz games. Fabiano Caruana defeated Garry Kasparov 19-7, Hikaru Nakamura beat Levon Aronian 14.5-11.5, Wesley So beat Veselin Topalov 18-8 and Peter Svider beat Leinier Dominguez Perez 15.5-10.5. I don't have software that can display these games on my website but I do have the games split into files of rapid and blitz.

Kasparov bit off a little more than he could chew against world number 2 Fabiano Caruana but it would be a great shame if he took that as a sign to stop playing altogether. I'm sure he'd be fine against players even a little further down the rating list and his loss in game two of the rapid when he played very powerfully up to a point was particularly unfortunate. There's a traditional place in tournament chess for the older former World Champions and Kasparov is certainly capable of fulfilling such a role, players such as Lasker, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Petrosian, Spassky, Tal and Karpov come to mind. I might even call such a role an important one

I give these games at the end of TWIC as they cause problems for software not set up for chess960 games.
