1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gregory Joseph, Ehud Lahav, Rich Fireman, Juergen Brustkern, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen completed his fourth double of World Rapid and Blitz titles. He starts all these events as favourite. Carlsen's efforts are concentrated almost entirely on the faster time controls and he even seems better than he used to be. Whether he'll have the stamina to do this for much longer is another question, it clearly was a gigantic effort.

Alireza Firouzja played a final event in Rouen, this time there were no real questions about its legitimacy and FIDE duly rated it. Firouzja scored the 7/7 he needed and it looks like he will take the rating place in the Candidates. To score 7/7 including a win against Gata Kamsky under such pressure was an achievement. His matches from last week in Chartres were not rated, I think quite rightly. FIDE will no doubt rethink the whole qualifciation system for the Candidates next time.

I wish a happy and prosperous 2024 for everyone.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) World Rapid and Blitz Championships 2023

The World Rapid and Blitz Championships took place in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Tue 26th Dec to Sat 30th Dec 2023. Leading players: Carlsen, Caruana, Artemiev, Nepomniachtchi, Duda, Aronian, Martirosyan, Dubov, Yu, Rapport, MVL, Andreikin, Giri, Erigaisi, Fedoseev, Mamedyarov etc. The women's section the leading players are: Ju Wenjun, Tan Zhongyi, Lei Tingjie, Kosteniuk, Goryachkina, Lagno, Anna and Mariya Muzychuk, Saduakassova, Koneru, Dronavalli, Assaubayeva, Zhu etc. In the rapid Magnus Carlsen won his 5th title. In the women's Anastasia Bodnaruk beat Humpy Koneru in a blitz tie-break match to take the title. I was taken by surprise by the return of tie-break matches. Reading the version of the regulations online it seems they changed those too, only the top two on tie-break played instead of a 3 player KO with Lei Tingjie who also scored 8.5/11. Magnus Carlsen completed his sixth World Blitz Title and this is the fourth time (2014, 2019, 2022 and 2023) he's won both rapid and blitz titles. Carlsen started the final day with a draw with Ian Nepomniachtchi and a loss to MVL before going on a tear of 6 wins in a row that eventually delivered the title. Half a point behind him was Daniil Dubov who was penalized a half a point along with his round 11 opponent Nepomniachtchi for bringing the game into disrepute with their piss-take of a draw in this round. Valentina Gunina won the women's blitz title with 14/17 half a point clear of Alexandra Kosteniuk who pushed her all the way.

8) Chartres Noel 2023

Alireza Firouzja had what seemed like a final attempt to boost his rating in the January list by playing 6 games, three two games matches, against Alexandre Dgebuadze, Andrei Shchekachev and Sergey Fedorchuk in Chartres, 18th to 22nd December 2023. All this I reported last week. As it turned out my doubts about the event seemed to be confirmed, this event was not rated. But Alireza played a standard open in Rouen instead, scored 7/7 and passed Wesley So on the rating list. In Chartres after Alireza left Fedorchuk won a final two game match against Yuliia Osmak and that was rated.

9) 15th Rouen Open 2023

The 15th Rouen Open took place Tue 26th to Fri 29th Dec 2023. It's an event I've never covered in TWIC before. Alireza Firouzja played in this 7 round Swiss in a final, final attempt to qualify for the Candidates. Rouen is different to Chartres and will in my view be rated, this is a regular scheduled Swiss, Firouzja withdrew from the World Rapid and Blitz knew going in he would have to score 7/7. In round 6 he defeated his main obstacle, Gata Kamsky. He then beat fellow Iranian expat IM Kamran Shirazi in the final round. Shirazi has lived in France for many years and is a frequent competitor in the Paris Championship. Now Firouzja has won this event with 7/7 and gained enough points to overtake Wesley So on the rating list. This event has already been rated on the FIDE website. The controversial Chartres matches do not seem to have been rated, they don't appear but a final fourth match not involving Firouzja has been rated. My suspicion is that this will be the last time straight rating will be a route to the Candidates but in the end Firouzja did it over the board in a regular tournament and that's surely fine. Then on 31st Dec we saw that Firouzja was rated for the Sinquefield Cup and Rouen only and beats Wesley So by a couple of rating points to the final Candidates place. The whole three matches in Chartres thing proved a massive waste of everyone's time.
