1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gregory Joseph, Ehud Lahav, Harald Grafenhofer, Jonathan Tisdall, Nicolas Brunner, Matthew Carr, Shohreh Bayat, Alik Gershon, Paz Avineri, Craig DuBose and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen won the Weissenhaus Freestyle Chess GOAT Challenge beating Fabiano Caruana but Ding Liren's result is the real story. This might have been an exhibition event but Ding was clearly not in any mental state to play good chess and lost almost all his games. I do not know what Ding's problem is but something clear is very badly wrong. I reworked the PGN for the Chess960 games last week in an update, there was a small technical mistake that wasn't apparent to me at the time, this week's games should be fine. I completely misjudged how many events there were going to be this week so a very late finish was the punishment.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Weissenhaus Freestyle Chess GOAT Challenge 2024

The Weissenhaus Freestyle Chess GOAT Challenge took 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. Magnus Carlsen beat Fabiano Caruana in the final. The event was an unmitigated disaster for Ding Liren losing almost all his games. There's clearly something very wrong and one has to wonder if he'll defend his title.

The GM RR Third Saturday 188 takes place 15th to 20th February. The numbering system is a complete mystery to me now as there have been editions in the 200s.

34) Bronstein 100 Match 2024

The Bronstein 100 Match took place on 19th February 2024, the centenary of his birth. Bronstein pioneered this format of multiple simultaneous games against the same opponent. Vladislav Artemiev beat Alexander Grischuk in one game and the remaining 5 were drawn. I think this is actually a lot more interesting idea than some of the other experiments being tried recently.

40) TCh-ISR 2024

The Israeli Teams continued this week and is up to Round 8. I do have some of the missing games from the earlier rounds but screwed up and forgot about them until this evening and there was too much work involved in adding them. I will try for next week.
