1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Paulo Rocha, Jan Mazuch, David Navara, Tim Wall, TJ and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Wesley So won the World Fischer Random Chess Championship with a crushing 13.5-2.5 victiry against Magnus Carlsen in thefinal. Carlsen seemed to lose his balance trying to get back into the match and never recovered. On Sunday Carlsen turned up to play in the second tier of the Norwegian League for a club he is closely involved with, that game is available too. Russia just edged out Ukraine to win the European Team Championships, England's 3rd place finish (even if they were 2nd seeds) is an excellent result and their best in this competition since 1997. Russia completed a double by winning the women's event too but both events were extremely competitive throughout.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

20) TCh-NOR Eliteserien 2019-20

The Norwegian Eliteserien takes place 1st November 2019 to 8th March 2019. There are various divisions below this. Magnus Carlsen turned out on Sunday for a team (Honefoss 1) that he has been working with and we have that game too. This wasn't a full Eliteserien program with a couple of matches being canceled due to the European Team Championship, they will take place in December.

23) World Fischer Random Chess Championship 2019

The World Fischer Random Chess Championship semi-finals and final took place in Hovikodden 27th October to 2nd November 2019. Ian Nepomniachtchi, Wesley So and Fabiano Caruana were the online winners at the start of October who travel to Norway to take on Magnus Carlsen. The points system for each mini-match over various time controls was: Slow rapid: win = 3, draw = 1.5, Fast rapid: win = 2, draw = 1, Blitz: win = 1, draw = 0.5 with tie-breaks in the event of a draw after 6 games. I've place this event at the end of the file as some programs can't understand the Chess960 games. Wesley So won the event destroying Magnus Carlsen 13.5-2.5 in the final. Once Carlsen started losing he just seemed to play worse and worse. Ian Nepomniachtchi beat Fabiano Caruana to finished 3rd.
