1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Simon McNamara, Lennart Ootes, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Valery Maes, Grant Oen and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FIDE Grand Prix first leg is under way in Berlin - the final leg will also be there with the second one being in Belgrade. The final two places in the Candidates tournament will come from this series. There are a lot of closely matched players but making the knockout phase will be almost vital. Elsewhere the men beat the women in Gibraltar, Magnus Carlsen was held to a draw in the Norwegian League and Hikaru Nakamura won both Titled Tuesday events in their new double header format.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) FIDE Grand Prix Leg 1 2022

The first leg of three FIDE Grand Prix takes place in Berlin 4th to 17th February. Players will compete in two out of the three legs and the best two combined results will qualify for the Candidates. Ding Liren failed to get a Visa for the event and is out of this event. There is still some hope he might compete in the final two events. There are four pools of four players. The winners of each pool meet in a final KO phase to decide the winner.
