1) Introduction

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

A really busy week. Ian Nepomniachtchi won the Vugar Gashimov Memorial from Vladimir Fedoseev with his decisive results proving the difference after they tied on points. Levon Aronian beat Magnus Carlsen in the Freestyle final in South Africa, Aronian was also undefeated, but Carlsen's result throughout the series meant he took the over all title. I was pleased to see Ding Liren win a rapid in China, I think this is his first decent result in some time. The TechM Global Chess League is under way with many strong players competing in this rapid team event.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

The Shenzhen Nanshan Masters took place 12th to 15th December 2025. The former World Chess Champions Ding Liren won his first event in a very long time which I found very cheering.

44) Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Finals 2025

The Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Finals took place Mon 8th Dec to Thu 11th Dec 2025. The venue was the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve two hours drive from Cape Town. The event was a fast rapid time control of 10 minutes + 5 seconds a move. Players: Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Vincent Keymer, Arjun Erigaisi, Levon Aronian, Hans Niemann, Parham Maghsoodloo and Javokhir Sindarov.

Perhaps fittingly the two biggest advocates of this Chess960 tour met in the final. Levon Aronian beat Magnus Carlsen 1.5-0.5. Aronian went the entire event undefeated. Carlsen lost two in the preliminaries and three in the knockout section, which I'm sure he'll view as entirely too many. Carlsen had previously dominated the tour and so in spite of this result won the tour title.
