1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gregory Joseph, Christian Matevzic, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

In the European Individual Championship Matthias Bluebaum hung on to win the title on tie-break from Frederick Svane and Maxim Rodshtein. Bluebaum thus became the first player to win this tough event twice. The women's event started in Rhodes today. The women's World Championship kicks off on Wednesday.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

The German 2nd Bundesliga was split into just North and South this year with no East nor West. Sfr. Wolfhagen won the North and MSA Zugzwang the South. Games from the final two rounds are now available. It's way too late now but I discovered I accidentally didn't put the teams in the listings and games. I'm surprised I didn't notice before. Will try and do better next year.
