My thanks to Franz Jittenmeier, Thomas Henrich, Stefan Pfannkuch, Martin
Crichton, Thomas Heine Bech, Miklos Orso, Eduard Piacun, James Alvis, Carlos
Salazar Cárdenas, Leontxo García, José Mariano Acosta,
Russell Miller, Laszlo Nagy, Benjamín Góngora Montes, Zsuzsa
Veroci, Richard Cantwell, Varlam Vepkhvishvili, Gary Suffield, Michael Atkins,
Mihajlo Stojanovic, Haroon Or Rashid I.A. and everyone else who helped with the
issue.
Another typically hectic issue at the end of an Easter weekend. The main
event is the European Individuals which continue with five players on 5/6. We
also found out where Ivanchuk and Mamedyarov got to who were originally slated
to play, they were in Spain playing in an incredibly strong rapid event. Gata
Kamsky won the Foxwoods Open, I'll round the games from that event up next
week.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

The Championship of Kazakhstan took place in Astana 20th-30th March
2007.
One small puzzle and I've found a similar sort of thing has in the FIDE
list before with two different players at the same time having the same FIDE ID
number. 13701665 Maksutova, M. KAZ 2014 8 . . from the July 2000 ELO list has
the same FIDE ID as 13701665 Moiseenko, Ilya KAZ 2308 11 in the April list but
Ilya Moiseenko isn't in the January list but surely can't have got a 2300
rating in one go. I'm using the April ELO rating which is in fact given in the
table on the site below.
