1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mikhail Golubev, Robert Baskin, Xuhao He, Rainer Polzin, and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

The Champions Chess Tour has started with the Skilling Open. This successor to the Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour will take about a year to complete and is bound to have an impact on the game. Although there are some hopes for an end to the coronavirus crisis it's likely that it won't happen before the middle of next year at the earliest. This could still be the only elite chess for a long time. There are over the board events such as the Russian Team Championships and Ukraine Championship but personally I wonder how they're justified - lets hope they pass without incident. Still plenty of chess to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

The took place on Tornelo and at the moment I only have half the rapid and half the blitz games, I personally couldn't find the event at all on the Tornelo website (searches returned nothing) - someone had to send me some links but only to half the games.

The Italian Online Championship took place 18th to 22nd November. Alessio Valsecchi won the event ahead of Lorenzo Lodici, Alberto David and Luca Moroni. Olga Zimina won the women's event and Edoardo Di Benedetto the U20. This was a multi-phase event with all-play-all qualifiers followed by a final phase where the final placings were decided by knockouts. This was an incredibly complicated event, I hope I have the games correct but I had to download each individually and then label them up and this was an onerous task taking practically a whole day.

18) Nona Gaprindashvili Cup 2020

The Nona Gaprindashvili Cup took place online on Tornelo starting 4th November 2020. I was very confused by the format and thought the event finished last weekend but there was a KO section this weekend. The Open stage 2 which was the qualifier for the KO saw Luka Paichadze edge out Mikheil Mchedlishvili, Levan Pantsulaia and Giga Quparadze on tie-break after all scored 7/9. Bela Khotenashvili won the women's open 2 event with 7.5/9. In the final stage the final placings were decided. If I read the results correctly the Men's Results are that Davit Jojua won the event ahead of Mikheil Mchedlishvili and Nikolozi Kacharava finished third. The Women's Results Meri Arabidze won ahead of Lela Javakhishvili and Sopiko Khukhashvili.
