1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Roland Wimmer, Rich Fireman, Xuhao He, Gunnar Bjornsson and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Grand Chess Tour continues with the Paris Rapid and Blitz. Wesley So continued his excellent form in winning the Rapid section. The Prague Masters with a very nice field was won by Sam Shankland. Sad news with the passing of Carol Jarecki who was a well known chess organiser and arbiter, with her refereeing of the Kasparov vs Deep Blue match of 1997 being the most high profile. She led a fascinating life (Carol Jarecki Wiki entry).

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

10) Las Vegas International Chess Festival 2021

The Las Vegas International Chess Festival took place 16th to 20th June 2021. Arthur Guo, Illia Nyzhnyk, Andrew Hong, Emilio Cordova Daza and Lazaro Bruzon Batista all finished on 7/9 and won $3780 in the National Open. Carla Heredia and Zoey Tang scored 4.5/5 and won $800 in the Women's Open. There was a Walter Browne Blitz Championship on the final day won by Hans Niemann with 11.5/12 and took $700 first prize. Tied on 10 points were Andrew Tang, Steven Zierk, Andrew Hong and Christopher Yoo. There were 6 double rounds in the blitz but only half the games were made available. I'll probably just leave that tournament..
