1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Lennart Ootes, Alex Jensen, Alex Dommnich and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Norway Chess tournament continues, Wesley So leads ahead of Alireza Firouzja. The event uses an unusual scoring system, three points for a win, 1 for a draw with an additional half point for the winner of an Armageddon game. I don't think I'll ever grow to like this scoring system, Armageddon games were invented for use as a last resort when all other tie-breaks failed, they shouldn't be used in this way. The main story of the event is Magnus Carlsen's three losses, he's won a couple too, he's certainly not out of things. Carlsen's decision to play the Sigeman tournament before this was significant, he obviously felt the lack of classical games keenly, here his three losses (all in high tension games that could have gone either way) show a lack of stamina not ability. Carlsen's started talking about Kasparov's 21 years as number one in the rating list, if he wants to beat that record (Carlsen's been there for 15 years) he'll need to play more to get back to his best and at least halt the deterioration, it's very definitely not too late there. Carlsen got bored, I think it can definitely be said classical chess isn't boring, people are taking him on. In many ways Kasparov's career in his 30s was the most interesting. I don't expect Carlsen to rush back to the World Championship, I do think he'll play more classical chess.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
