1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Simon McNamara, Assi Philosoph, Nicolas Brunner, Richard Palliser, Katerina Simackova, Petr Boleslav, Dennis Monokroussos and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

The 2nd Cairns Cup in Saint Louis was won by Humpy Koneru who definitely seems to be back at the top of women's chess. No super-GM events this week but plenty of chess, especially team chess to get your teeth into.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
