My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Lennart Ootes, Steven Rix, Dimitris Skyrianoglou, Alex Jansen, everyone else who helped with this issue.
Javokhir Sindarov duly won the Candidates tournament and he finished undefeated. Sindarov was impressive and the story of his year will fascinate. The women's event was won by Rameshbabu Vaishali who secured her victory with a last round win in an truly unprintable tournament. This is a week of young player achievements, 17 year-old Ukrainian Roman Dehtiarov (126th seed) won the European Individual Championships, alone on 9/11 a truly amazing result. Finally Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus, beat Veselin Topalov 5-1 in a match to go over 2700 at the age of 14. Young players all over are posting amazing results, something has maybe changed in the way players are coached, this feels like some kind of change is in the air. If we're really lucky we'll see a generation as powerful and interesting as the one that came through at the end of the 80s and early 90s.
Hope you enjoy this issue.
