1) Introduction

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

The FIDE Grand Swiss was won by Anish Giri with a final round win against Hans Moke Niemann. Giri has been playing a lot of key games against his opponent of late and this was perhaps the most important of all. Matthias Bluebaum finished in second place just ahead of Vincent Keymer and Alireza Firouzja, both of whom I guess have reason to be disappointed. This was a marvellous tournament that demonstrated where the game of chess is in 2025. Wednesday is the 31st anniversary of TWIC. I'm working on a few projects to take the site forward, but these things take time, I'm looking to be finished by Christmas. If you can donate, that would be really helpful right now.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

6) 58th Iranian Men Final 1404

The 58th Iranian Men Final 1404 (this is year in the Solar Hijri calendar) took place 4th to 10th September 2025. I was initially confused both by the year and the supposed other Iranian Championship shown in the FIDE calendar but I'm confident this is it. Atakhan Abtin won with 7.5/9. Round 1 games are missing.
