1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gregory Joseph, Alex Jansen, Patricia Llaneza Vega, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Freestyle Grand Slam Weissenhaus with many strong players is under way. Will it managed to popularise Chess960 finally? I guess we'll find out. There a nice mix of national championships, opens and team events to round out the issue.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
