1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Lennart Ootes, Simon McNamara, Ehud Lahav and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The US and Russian Championships take place simultaneously this week. There are no clear favourites in either event and it should be very interesting to see who wins. Many team events are covered this week including the Spanish Team Championships, next week rounds 9-15 of the German Bundesliga season of 2019-20 will take place to complete the event. Plenty of interesting things to look at both over the board and online.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
