1) Introduction

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

The World Chess Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi saw five crucial games this week that left Carlsen on the verge of defending his title. Nepomniachtchi had made a good start to the event and had generated chances to win some games. Crucially he didn't really come close to exploiting these openings and that included a big one in mutual time trouble during game 6. Nepomniachtchi blundered a few moves after first time control and then was under severe pressure for a very long time eventually fatally blundering again on move 130 and losing in a record breaking 136 moves. This is now the longest World Championship game in history. This loss came at the start of a three day run of games and a draw on Saturday where he didn't put much pressure on Carlsen was followed by a really poor loss on the Sunday. Nepomniachtchi didn't seem to be thinking clearly during the game, even before lashing out with the very bad 21...b5. It's not impossible to come back from such losses or a two game deficit with six games to go but it has to be seen as unlikely. The 12th London Chess Classic got under way this week. A slimmed down event due to the Coronavirus nevertheless has an interesting England vs the Rest of the World Match as its top event.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) World Chess Championship 2021

The FIDE World Chess Championship takes place in Dubai, UAE, 24th November (opening ceremony - game 1 on 26th Nov) until 16th December. The match is between World Champion Magnus Carlsen and his Challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi. The match will be over 14 games rather than the recent 12 and uses an accelerated schedule to accommodate this - a final day of rapid and blitz tie-breaks will take place on 15th December in the event of a 7-7 tie. Nepomniachtchi will not compete under the Russian flag due to WADA sporting sanctions against Russia because of their state sponsored doping program. Both players were born in 1990 - Nepomniachtchi is the slightly older - born 14th July - Carlsen will have his birthday on 30th Nov the same day as game 4 - they have been friends since their junior days. This match should have taken place in 2020 but the Covid-19 crisis caused delays to the qualification process. Each playing session will start at 12:30pm GMT. This page will contain the games and stories on the match.
