1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gregory Joseph, Michiel Abeln, Alex Jansen, Grant Oen, John Emms and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The final round of the Tata Steel Chess tournament could not have been more dramatic when both leaders Praggnanandhaa and Gukesh lost and eventually tied for first place. This meant there was a blitz tie-break. Praggnanandhaa came from behind after losing the first game to win 2-1. This has been one of the most enjoyable tournaments in quite some time.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) 87th Tata Steel 2025

The 87th Tata Steel tournament took place 17th January to 2nd February 2025.

Praggnanandhaa won the 87th Tata Steel Chess tournament for his most impressive result of his career so far. He beat Gukesh in a blitz tie-break 2-1 after both players lost in the final round. It really was a great event and shows classical chess is alive and well.

Panesar Vedant won the Tienkamp and qualifies for the Challengers next year and Thai Dai Van Nguyen beat Benjamin Bok in a must win game where he risked all in complications just before first time control and it paid off for him. This means Nguyen plays the Masters next year but spare a thought for Aydin Suleymanli who also scored 9.5/13 after beating Irina Bulmaga and only lost out on tie-break coefficients.

21) TCh-CAT 2025

The Catalan Team Championship takes place 18th January to 15th March 2025. It's always a huge effort to compile team listings and I haven't had time yet. A chess-results or info64.org entry would be a so much better, it really would, their local system is not fit for purpose. Not only is it hard to actually find the players competing, local spellings and ratings are used and no FIDEids are provided. The only way to get team listings is get a huge list of all the players in their database, many of whom have no intention of playing the league, and then add weaker players later as they turn up.
