1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Ian Rogers, Bjorn Ivar Karlsson and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen yet again won the Preliminary Group of the Champions Chess Tour. He looks somewhat more convincing doing it and in his comments he made it clear he knew that the next stage will require a higher level. He faces Levon Aronian in the first round of the KO, Aronian has traditionally been a tricky opponent for Carlsen, Aronian got some key wins in when Carlsen was very young and there's still some psychology left from that I believe. Anish Giri who started his online career in these Magnus event rather poorly losing warm up matches and then being eliminated has worked hard and is clearly one of the better players along with Wesley So, Hikaru Nakamura and Teimour Radjabov (who was eliminated this time but having won a tour major will clearly be involved throughout). Elsewhere there's a lot of online combined with a bit of over the board. I had my first vaccination today, I hope that as a whole we will start to see an end to this when every adult has it. At the moment I still wonder how places with severe outbreaks can justify holding over the board tournaments involving international travel. In the UK I believe there hasn't been a single serious over the board tournament since March last year, and that is quite right in my view.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Magnus Carlsen Invitational 2021

The Magnus Carlsen Invitational is the second major on the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. This online event takes place on Chess24 13th-24th March. The format has been tweaked for this major, the field has been increased from 12 to 16, in the first major 8 of the 12 players made it through to the second phase and this lead to a lot of caution being rewarded. Players: Magnus Carlsen, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Levon Aronian, Anish Giri, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Wesley So, Teimour Radjabov, Alireza Firouzja, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Sergey Karjakin, Hikaru Nakamura, Daniil Dubov, Jorden van Foreest, David Anton Plus two qualifiers Alan Pichot and Nils Grandelius.

18) I'M Not A GM Speed Chess 2021

A new version of I'M Not A GM Speed Chess took place 3rd January to 10th March 2021. Roberto Junio Brito Molina won in the final against Levy Rozman 12.5-7.5. I really like this event as it gives chances to decent players to win a good event which they perhaps don't normally get. The scores are mostly correct below, some of the matches gave odds to the weaker players in the first round but didn't affect the final result.

20) 1st FIDE World University Online 2021

The 1st FIDE World University Online takes place 13th to 21st March 2021. The first weekend was devoted to blitz - they seemed to change format and had four groups. I suspect there must be a final group next weekend of qualifiers from these groups but this is a pure guess that might be totally wrong. Anyhow they do propose a rapid event next weekend.
