1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gregory Joseph, Ehud Lahav, Paulo Rocha, Tim McGrew, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen beat Alireza Firouzja in the Grand Final of the Chessable Masters and it took him two attempts. The event was a double elimination tournament, Firouzja had already lost to Vladimir Fedoseev but worked his way back to the winners group via the losers section. Carlsen had been undefeated, hence his final chance which he took. Carlsen also beat Firouzja today, this time in the Freestyle GOAT chess tournament in Germany. Fischer Random, Chess960 or Freestyle as they're trying to rebrand it here has been around in popular conciousness since Fischer started talking about it in 1992 or 3, it's never appealed to me I'm afriad. No-one can make you like anything, this is clearly my problem as is my opinion of the use of the word GOAT these days. I did enjoy the programming challenges when I wanted to extract Chess960 games from the cloud, so there's that. One thing that did sadden me is the continued poor form of Ding Liren, he's had a torrid time in Germany. His career was disrupted more than almost any leading player by Covid-19. His qualification and victory in the last World Title cycle was pretty close to a miracle, but now he just doesn't seem to be able to get it together at all. He's so much better than what he's showing right now. Lets hope he can quickly turn things around otherwise I can't see him even trying to defend his title.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) Chessable Masters 2024

The Chessable Masters took place Fri 2nd to Wed 7th Feb 2024, the format was double elimination. Magnus Carlsen, Wesley So, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Denis Lazavik, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Jose Eduardo Martinez Alcantara, Vladimir Fedoseev and Alireza Firouzja all competed for the title in Division 1. Carlsen ended up winning the event after beating Denis Lazavik in the winners final and then in the Grand Final he lost to Alireza Firouzja, this meant both Carlsen and Firouzja had lost one match so a final match was played to decide who won, Carlsen did, 2-0. Vincent Keymer beat Levon Aronian in the Division 2 final and has qualified for the next main event, Alexey Sarana beat Alexander Grischuk in the Division 3 final and will play in Division 2 next time.

3) Weissenhaus Freestyle Chess GOAT Challenge 2024

The Weissenhaus Freestyle Chess GOAT Challenge takes place Fri 9th to 16th Feb 2024. Rapid Round Robin followed by a Knockout at Standard time controls. This is Fischer Random, Chess960, Shuffle Chess by another name. Players: Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja, Fabiano Caruana, D Gukesh, Levon Aronian, Vincent Keymer, Ding Liren and Nodirbek Abdusattorov. I don't have the ability to display Chess960 but will try and produce a downloadable file each day. Truthfully I've never found Chess960 at all interesting.

I've just realised I made a terrible mistake in assuming all the events in this series were in the same place, they're not at all. Chennai is not remotely the right venue for this event, Karaikudi is a long, long way away, over 400km.
