The Jobava London System from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Assi Philosoph, Michiel Abeln, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Hugh Brodie, Adeeb Zehrawi, Efstratios Grivas, Denis Vretenar, Xuhao He, Frank Niro, Jonathan Cannon, Simon McNamara and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

Fabiano Caruana ran away with the 82nd Tata Steel Masters, after a slow start he finished with 6.5/7 to score 10 points and finish 2 points clear of Magnus Carlsen. Caruana looks in good shape for the Candidates. Apart from a fine run of 3 wins in a row this was a low key performance from Magnus Carlsen who was disappointed and hopes for better in his next event, GRENKE in April. The event gave us a good sight of the future with a number of young players making their debut, Alireza Firouzja led at around the half way stage but a look at the table shows he struggled against the more experienced top players but at 16 years old he looks like a strong prospect. Jorden Van Foreest also had a fine event and is sure to make many more appearances. The Women's World Chess Championship couldn't really have been closer, settled in a rapid tie-break match that also could have gone either way with Ju Wenjun finally retaining her title against Aleksandra Goryachkina. The Gibraltar tournament continues, plenty to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 82nd Tata Steel 2020

The 82nd Tata Steel Chess tournament took place in Wijk aan Zee 11th to 26th January 2020. World Champion Magnus Carlsen was the top seed in the Masters Group ahead of his last challenger Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So, Viswanathan Anand and a generally very young and ambitious field. Fabiano Caruana won the tournament for the first time with a score of 10/13, two points clear of Magnus Carlsen. David Anton qualified for the Masters Group in 2021.
