1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Eduard Piacun, Klaus-Juergen Herlan, Dennis Monokrousses, Harald Grafenhofer, Kenneth W. Regan, Michael Freeman and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The new chess year is about to start and 2013 promises something very special. Magnus Carlsen starts the year as world number one and with the highest rating ever. Carlsen may very well finish it as World Chess Champion. There is however work on the way. Carlsen starts the new year in Wijk aan Zee on Saturday (I will be in commentary on ICC) with a tremendous field. World Chess Champion Anand will no doubt try and have some say about Carlsen becoming world champion and I saw some small signs at the end of the London tournament where we saw glimpses of the old Anand. Anand says he will play up to 5 events in the first half of the year. Hopefully Anand will be able to find some form there. One player not in Wijk aan Zee is Vladimir Kramnik who looks very well prepared and in the best form in a number of years. I would not rule him out of winning the Candidates tournament in London in March. Things look different for Levon Aronian who had a more variable 2012. Aronian's form and confidence could easily return quickly and he will be hoping to be quick out of the blocks too. These are not the only players who may come to define this year. No doubt Svidler, Grischuk, Ivanchuk, Gelfand or Radjabov are all capable of winning a world championship match. Fabiano Caruana and Sergey Karjakin are not in the candidates but both had strong results in 2012 and may come through even more strongly next year. All this is speculation, bring on the games.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Hastings International Chess Congress 2012-13

The 88th Hastings Masters took place 28th December 2012 to 5th January 2013. Top seed Gawain Jones finished in first place alone on 7.5/10, especially important was a long grind until he found a way past Daniel Alsina Leal in round 9., Jones edged out Andrey Sumets, Kaido Kulaots, Andrey Vovk, Sarunas Sulskis, Daniele Vocaturo, Hjorvar Gretarsson, Jonathan Hawkins, and Rui Gao on 7. I give all the games again as I am not sure what corrections I made to the final version of the file. I changed Stephen Mannion to Stephen Burns-Mannion.

25) Corrections

Couple of corrections to recent issues PGN. Fier,A-Weindl from last week which had the players the wrong way round. Also wrong result to Zadar Open game Saric 0-1 Ivanov from the final round the issue before that.

26) Carlsen record rating confirmed in January 2013 Rating list

Magnus Carlsen's win in the London Chess Classic gained him 13 rating points and took him to 2861 10 points past Garry Kasparov's 1999 record rating. Vladimir Kramnik reclaimed the number two spot after gaining 15 points in London whilst Levon Aronian lost the same amount. World Champion Viswanathan Anand dropped to 7 in the world as Sergey Karjakin overtook him. Hikaru Nakamura jumped 9 points and back to 9 in the world and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov edged past Alexander Grischuk to complete the top 10. I use the full rating list for working on tournaments and games and noticed that for Basel players outside the top 100 from Hungary (now back in as of 3rd Jan) and Montenegro don't have ratings, presumably their Federations have fallen behind in payments. This and the complete removal of players from the list (eg 20 English players who aren't ECF members, Cubans who have left Cuba those are just the ones I know about) is not terribly convenient if you actually want to use the list for real work.
