My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jesse Richardson, Henri Koskinen, Robert Baskin, Paul Truong, Gerard Demuydt, and everyone else who helped both with this issue.
The US Chess Championships have progressed to the final main event starting today. Of course it hasn't been ideal holding it online but it's definitely better than not holding the event at all and it has given a chance for all the tournaments, Junior and Seniors to have their place in the sun. Irina Krush won her 8th title, she is now just one title short of the record holder Gisela Kahn Gresser who had nine titles, all earned at an age older than Krush is now. Krush and the winner of the Senior Title Joel Benjamin have both had Covid19, it's somewhat fitting that in this terrible year they managed to emerge as winners. Magnus Carlsen's next event will be chess.com's Speed Chess Championship starting on November 1st. This event has many of the most dominant online blitz players and should be extremely competitive, an example of this was that the final place was earned this weekend in a terrible strong invitational where Jan-Krzysztof Duda beat Sergey Karjakin in the final. Speed Chess competitor Nihal Sarin won another title in the CapChess online tournament. Top over the board event this week was the traditional SPICE Cup, this was won for the third time by Illya Nyzhnyk.
Hope you enjoy this issue.
