1) Introduction
My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske,
Lennart Ootes, and everyone else who helped with this issue.
Magnus Carlsen duly won the FIDE Freestyle Chess World Championship beating
Fabiano Caruana in the final. Caruana was pretty sick about how he lost the final
in game three the rest of the games were drawn, I'd have liked to see him grab a title for a change.
Lots of nice chess events this week including the Isle of Wight Masters, 3rd Al-Beruniy International
and Graz Open.
Hope you enjoy this issue.
Mark
