1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Grant Oen, Ian Rogers, Xuhao He, Stefan Loeffler and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Moscow Open is underway right now. There haven't been many big traditional opens since the Coronavirus struck last year, it will be worth keeping an eye on. Two online events were important this week. The World Corporate Championship saw teams of mixed strength compete, it will be interesting to see if this kind of event has a future. More inspiring for me was the 1st European Hybrid Cities Cup which was I believe organised by Stefan Loeffler. I suggested the idea that international chess might have to be played online with arbiters present in local venues to check there was no cheating. I saw no reason why even rather large and important events shouldn't be done this way. It's only an update on Bobby Fischer's participation in the Capablanca Memorial by Telex in 1965. Well it has taken nearly a year to get to the point where this has even been tried. Which is kind of disappointing. Chess shouldn't be played this way normally but the option to do this should be there. There are players who can't travel, and of course the Coronavirus makes mass international travel unwise and perhaps a little selfish. At lower levels it could see norm opportunities for players from poorer countries. If I could be permitted a flight of fancy there could also envisage spectacular Internet events with players competing from the top of the Eiffel Tower, inside the Kremlin, on the observation deck of the Empire State Building and say a room in the Houses of Parliament - just to come up with four random landmarks. It shouldn't be standard, but surely such a thing could be an option.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

6) FIDE Online World Corporate Chess 2021

The FIDE Online World Corporate Chess took place on Chess.com 19th to 21st February 2021. Magnus Carlsen participated in the early qualification stages - teams could have one strong player but the rest should be amateur level. Grenke Bank defeated SBER1 in the two legged final 2.5-1.5 in the final round having drawn the first 2-2. I processed the league stage games, it took a very long time and I'm not 100% sure everything is correct, it's likely the leading players will be OK.

18) 1st European Hybrid Cities Cup 2021

The 1st European Hybrid Cities Cup took place 20th to 21st February. Stefan Loeffler sends news of this FIDE experiment where arbiters in different countries oversaw this team event. A standard rated time control event played over the internet with arbiters. I expected this to have been tried last year - this seems extremely late in the day - but it is something I believe should become an option for all kinds of reasons. A report on how the event worked out
