1) Introduction

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

The Women's World Chess Championship between defending champion Ju Wenjun and challenger Tan Zhongyi is tied at 2-2 after four games in what looks like a tight match. The second half of the European Women's Championship is has just started Anastasia Kirtadze and Teodora Injac lead with 6/7 in the 11 round event. If you like Chess960 there's a very strong event in Paris. The passing of Fridrik Olafsson was sad news today. A former Candidate and FIDE President he was a well respected figure in the game and the news comes hard on the heals of the passing of Boris Spassky just recently. I had a very disrupted week with a very necessary operation on Friday, things seem to have gone well.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

4) Fridrik Olafsson 1935-2025

Fridrik Olafsson 26 January 1935 to 6 April 2025 was the first Icelandic GM and Candidate after finishing tied 5th–6th in the 1958 Interzonal. He was an amateur player at the time and went on to finish 7th of 8th in the 1959 Candidates in Bled, Zagreb, and Belgrade. Olafsson continued to be an active player almost his entire life. His 3rd place in the first Piatigorsky Cup in 1963 was probably his best result. He turned professional in 1974.

He became FIDE president in 1978 but lost after one term in 1982 when the Soviet Union decided to support his deputy Florencio Campomanes.

News of Olafsson's passing from the ECU - Olafsson's Wiki entry. Obituary of Olafsson by Peter Doggers.

There are very few left from this generation of chess players following the recent passing of Boris Spassky, with Oscar Panno and Lajos Portisch being the only Candidates. Read more ....

24) European Senior Team Championship 2025

The European Senior Team Championship takes place 5th to 11th April 2025. Possibly due to the closeness in time to the World Senior teams in Prague in February there are only about a third of the expected number of players and teams, I really feel sorry for the organisers. Most players pay for themselves.
