1) Introduction

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

Magnus Carlsen won the World Rapid Championship for the 6th time, he looked convincing for most of the event with just a little wobble at the start of day 2. He's not having everything his way in the blitz but if he can finish in the top four to get to the playoffs for the title I wouldn't bet against him.

I've been very lucky to do this work for the last 30 years. The last few months I've been thinking about the future, I'm going to have to work at least another 10 years, probably longer, but right now I'm not making anywhere near enough to survive. There's no immediate emergency, but if things don't change this year then I'll have to find something else to do. I've had to reinvent myself a few times, and I have some ideas I want to try. There have been a few personal distractions that have meant that changes haven't happened as fast as I wanted them to, but even if a little rough-and-ready to start off with, I will be trying some new things. There will be a Patreon soon. I'm for the moment preparing to stay and fight for my future, but we all have to make a living. I hope everyone has a happy new year.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

31) Titled Tuesday Blitz 16th December 2025

The Titled Tuesday Blitz 16th December was won by Jan-Krzysztof Duda on tie-break from MVL after both finished with 9.5/11. I discovered a mortifying mistake, I misidentified one of the players chess.com nicknames, Vladislav Gontcharov a very long time ago, confusing him with Vladimir Goncharov there are about a couple of thousand games by now.
