1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Ian Rogers, Gregory Joseph, Michal Horacek, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

This week was a bit of a quiet one, lots of nice New Year events but nothing really special. The Tata Steel tournament starting on Saturday is likely going to be one of the highlights of the year with the partipation of the new World Champion Gukesh being the main point of interest. Magnus Carlsen made, at least to me, a surprise appearance in the Bundesliga this weekend beating Max Warmadam and drawing with Wei Yi. Vladimir Fedoseev won the Chess.com Freestyle qualifier, he's playing very well at the moment, it seems nomatter what format.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
