THE WEEK IN CHESS 886 31st October 2011 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Alexander Prokhorov, Roland Wimmer, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Kristianus Liem, Franz Jittenmeier, Herman Van de Wynkele, Sven Noppes, Monique van de Griendt, Ivan Kocovski, Gujuan Tzu, Emmanuel Variniac and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The major stories of the week occurred at the end. Although these days we have accurate predictions it is always nice to see the new FIDE rating list, especially when it contains major changes. Magnus Carlsen edges out further in front of Viswanathan Anand and Levon Aronian after Bilbao. But significant moves up from Vladimir, Teimour Radjabov, Alexander Morozevich and Hikaru Nakamura may turn out to be more significant. Anand is a regular in Corsica for their rapid and he won again defeating Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. After a quiet week Thursday November 3rd sees the 18th European Team Championship. A star filled lineup with Aronian, Karjakin, Topalov, Ivanchuk, Svidler, Morozevich, Giri, Adams, Short to mention just a few. I have been sick most of the week so this is very much as quick and as straight forward an issue as I could manage.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Bundesliga 2011-12

The Schachbundesliga 2011-12 takes place 14th October 2011 - 15th April 2011. The German event is the world's premier national team competition 15 rounds with possible tie-breaks 27th-29th April 2012. There has been a slight change in format with the rather odd split round 9 being ended. Instead the event kicks off with a triple round 1-3 at one venue Muelheim Nord 14th - 16th October 2011. The main shock was Baden-Baden's round 2 loss to hosts Muelheim, just their second match defeat since 2006.

Rounds 4-5 on 19th-20th November 2011.

28) Carlsen still top as FIDE November list sees big changes

The November 2011 FIDE Rating List was one of the most interesting of recent times with some large changes as the leading players competed in the World Cup, European Club Cup and Bilbao amongst many elite events. Magnus Carlsen as a results of Bilbao is further clear as World Number 1. Kamnik goes over 2800. Radjabov leaps to 5 and Morozevich to 9. Nakamura back at 10. Big falls for Kamsky and Ponomariov.

Magnus Carlsen extended his lead as World Number 1 to 15 points after Viswanathan Anand and Levon Aronian dropped points and he gained in Bilbao. Vladimir Kramnik returns to 2800 a reflection of recent fine play, Teimour Radjabov put a tremendous amount of work into what turned out to be just one match in the Candidates against Vladimir Kramnik. The Candidates have historically proved to be the catalyst for improvement and once he recovered from the loss he has gained 29 points in the last two months to move from 13 to 5 in the world. Vassily Ivanchuk is at 6 gaining 10 points, Veselin Topalov drops to 7th having not played, Sergey Karjakin has had a tough time recently and dropped 9 points to go from 5 to 8. Alexander Morozevich's return to his very best has been well reported and he is now at 9. Hikaru Nakamura is back as US number one and gained 5 points.

Alexander Grischuk dropped out of the top 10 losing 5 points. Gata Kamsky lost points in the World Cup and the Romanian Teams for a total of 24 points. Ruslan Ponomariov fell even further from 8th-25th and -35 points. Ian Nepomniachtchi enters the top 20.
