1) Introduction

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

Alireza Firouzja leads the Tata Steel Masters going into the second rest day, he has won his last three games, all a bit scrappy, but his ambition has carried him through. Magnus Carlsen beat Firouzja in round one but couldn't win after that, he missed a number of very good chances and seemed to get frustrated. In Round 8 Andrey Esipenko beat Carlsen very soundly as the World Champion played pretty poorly. Carlsen has been in a funk since early December, it's hard to see him getting back into contention now but we'll have to see. Anish Giri, Esipenko, Jorden Van Foreest and Fabiano Caruana are half a point behind the leader, they all clearly are in contention and Firouzja has yet to face three of them.

More sad news this week. Lubomír Kavalek, August 9, 1943 – January 18, 2021. We lost the two time Czech and three time US Champion. Kavalek played in 9 Olympiads. He was also a coach helping Nigel Short in the Candidates in the early 1990s before they had a spectacular falling out.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
