1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Richard Palliser, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Kenneth Regan, Zenon Franco, John Saunders, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The European Individuals are the main event of the week. My feeling is that the number of strong players competing in opens is down and the number of those events is reduced. We'll have to see as the year continues if that feeling is correct. There has been a heartening number of events returning for the first time since 2019 but we've lost major events such as Gibraltar and the Aeroflot Open along the way too. The Dortmund tournament has made their Open the main event we'll see what kind of field they get. Of course we're seeing more and richer online events but they're mostly being held at very accelerated time controls. Finally Magnus Carlsen played his final over the board games as World Champion in the Norwegian League where he helpd Offerspill win the title for the first time. Whether this is the end of an era or not time will tell.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

17) WR Chess Masters 2023

The WR Masters took place in Dusseldorf Wed 15th to Sun 26th Feb 2023. This was a new elite event and the field has many players in common with the recent Tata Steel tournament in Wijk aan Zee. Players: Ian Nepomniachtchi, Anish Giri, Wesley So, Levon Aronian, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Gukesh Dommaraju, Vincent Keymer, Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu and Andrey Esipenko. Levon Aronian won all three games in a tie-break against Nepomniachtchi and Gukesh, the final two rounds weren't needed as he couldn't be caught.

It seems I didn't include the final round games last week.
