My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Grant Oen, Robert Baskin and everyone else who helped with this issue.
Wesley So won his second Meltwater Champions Chess Tour event in his victory in the Opera Euro Rapid on Sunday. So also defeated World Champion Magnus Carlsen for the second time in the final. As Carlsen himself acknowledged So was clearly the best performer over the entire event. Carlsen lost a poor first game where a bad opening was followed by a losing piece sacrifice. After that Carlen had many opportunities to get back into the match but his poor form and confidence meant he didn't manage it. The next event is in a month's time. It was announced today that the FIDE Candidates will resume on 19th of April in Yekaterinburg and run until April 27th. It seems likely to me that the event will be finished this time.
Hope you enjoy this issue.
