1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Marcos Bueno, Miklos Orso and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The start of an extremely busy week with the European Individual Championship starting today, Cappelle la Grande and the Reykjavik Open also have started or are about to. Magnus Carlsen also takes part in a number of exhibition events in Brazil. We're also just 10 days from the start of the Candidates tournament. Exciting times and I'll try and stay on top of them all.

Many thanks to those who have donated so far to TWIC following my appeal after my 1000th issue. I've written my thanks to the people who have contributed so far. I'm very grateful and it has made a big difference to me. If you also wish to donate to help me keep TWIC going and move it forward then you can do so via PayPal at:

5) 6th Batavia Chess Tournament 2014

The 6th Batavia Chess Tournament took place 21st February to 2nd March 2014. David Smerdon won with 6/9 in spite of losing his final round game to tail-ender Steven Geirnaert. Sipke Ernst beat Smerdon's closest rival Twan Burg (5.5pts) in the final round also. Simon Williams missed a very nice forced win against Alina L'Ami. Look at the position after black's move 32 if you want to try and work it out yourself.
