1) Introduction

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

The Premliminary stages of the Champions Chess Tour - Opera Euro Rapid have concluded. These are very strong fields, Ding Liren came dead last, a couple of the favourites Hikaru Nakamura and Ian Nepomniachtchi got knocked. Magnus Carlsen won four games on the first day after losing the first game, since then he did enough to get through in first place. He will face Daniil Dubov who squeeked into the KO stages above Nakamura by virtue of winning one more game. Carlsen has had trouble with Dubov culminating with his loss to him in the Airthings Masters in December. I expect Carlsen to win this time in match where he doesn't allow many Dubov specials in the opening. I hope this issue has turned out alright, sometimes TWIC is just difficult to compile and work on for no real reason. This was a real struggle for me this week.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Champions Chess Tour Opera Euro Rapid 2021

The Opera Euro Rapid takes place Sat 6th Feb to Sun 14th Feb 2021. The online event hosted by Chess24 is part of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. This is a regular tour tournament so there are only points and prizes available, not a place in the tour final. 16 players start the event competing in a three day Round Robin which will reduce the field to 8. Then in the knockout phase three rounds of mini-matches will produce a winner.

Players: Magnus Carlsen, Ding Liren, Hikaru Nakamura, Leinier Dominguez Perez, Alexander Grischuk, Levon Aronian, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Daniil Dubov, Teimour Radjabov, Wesley So, Anish Giri, Santosh Gujrathi Vidit, Sam Shankland and Matthias Bluebaum.

Play starts at 16:00 GMT each day.

3) 81st ch-ARM 1st League 2021

The 81st ch-ARM 1st League took place 21st Janury to 5th February and were won by Levon Babujian with 9/13. I give all the games again. I'm pretty sure I've made this mistake before, but sometimes 1st League means the Championship and sometimes it doesn't, this time this is a qualifier for the Highest (and presumably the actual) National Championship of Armenia.
