1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Hugh Brodie, Simon McNamara, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Roland Wimmer, John Saunders, and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

The Lausanne Women's Grand Prix and the Nutcracker tournament are the main tournaments of the week. However the story of Teimour Radjabov's replacement at the last minute in the Candidates tournament by Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is the top story. Radjabov expressed the belief that the tournament should be postponed due to the Coronavirus crisis and after what seemed quite a short period of time was replaced in the event. I'm not an expert in the virus but at the moment advice seems to be to carry on with normal life as far as possible, practice good hygene but don't travel unless absolutely necessary. Where the Candidates slots into this advice I do not know. It's also possible that things will get a lot worse later in the year before they get better. There have already been major chess event cancellations including the Reykjavik, Dubai and Thailand Opens. There is going to be a lot less chess this year, not that that's particulary important compared to the health and economic threats. These are sobering times.

The TWIC website was down for three and a half days from Tuesday to Friday. This was due to a server upgrade taking far, far longer than it ever should have done. The upgrade was an attempt to fix some problems with the website and the message "Internal Server Error". These are still periodically appearing but I have a number of other things to improve the website and I'm confident I will get to the bottom of this problem relatively soon now.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

3) 6th Nutcracker Match of the Generations 2020

The 6th Nutcracker Match of the Generations took place 3rd to 10th March. The event normally takes place around Christmas time, it's unclear if this is to the new place in the calendar or if there will be a second event in 2020 in December. The Classical section of 4 games was tied 8-8, the Rapid section was won by the experienced Kings Team 19-13.

There was one first round tie-break between the New York Marshalls and the France Roosters this week won by the New York Team. They played an elimination format so first up was the game Gozzoli vs Moranda which was a draw so both were eliminated, then Lagarde won two games eliminating 2 NY players (Guseinov and Fedoseev) before Nakamura beat Lagarde, Bacrot and finally MVL to send his NY team through.
