1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Bill Townsend, Zoltan Budai, Peter Stuart, Paulo Rocha and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Fabiano Caruana's 8.5/10 result and 7-0 start will be spoken of for long into the future when we have to talk about record breaking performances in top events. What this means for Caruana's career only time will tell but the performance was truly amazing.

Magnus Carlsen kept us all waiting but on the final day of the deadline he signed up to defend his World Chess Championship in Sochi. What will happen in two years time if a similar situation arises and Carlsen defends successfully is anyone's guess but most probably Carlsen decided that the grief and trouble caused by not defending combined with really wanting to do so overcame his objections to conditions and venue in these troubled times.

Two of the very largest of chess stories this week and I might have liked to say more but as it's very late it's time to release the magazine.

Many thanks to those who have donated so far to TWIC following my appeal after my 1000th issue. I will write to those who have contributed recently. 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:

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 2nd Sinquefield Cup 2014

The 2nd Sinquefield Cup takes place 27th August to 7th September 2014. Fabiano Caruana won his first seven games and had chances to beat Magnus Carlsen in the 8th round and a clear chance in round 9 on move 40 against Hikaru Nakamura but nevertheless scored one of the best results event in finishing on 8.5/10. We will have to see if this marks the start of his domination or was just an exceptional peak.

4) Sharjah Women's Grand Prix 2014

The Sharjah Women's Grand Prix took place Mon 25th Aug to Sat 6th Sep in Sharjah UAE. This was the final event of the Women's Grand Prix series for 2013-14. Hou Yifan shared first place with Ju Wenjun and with that secured victory in the entire Grand Prix series. Humpy Koneru finished in second place but only scored 50%. Hou Yifan will have to defend her title in an as yet unscheduled knock-out but this result means she will get to defend her title next year in a match whether she wins that or not. Humpy Koneru's second place means she will play Hou Yifan provided she retains her title in that knockout

26) 136th Annual New York State Championship 2014

The 136th Annual New York State Championship takes place 29th August to 1st September 2014. Gata Kamsky is the top seed and took first place.My thanks to Bill Townsend for the games. He reports:

The 136th New York State Championship was held from August 30 to September 1 in Colonie, just west of the state capitol in Albany. The NY State championship used to move from place to place within the state, but it has been anchored in Colonie for the last nine years and this year's turnout was the best in 16 years as 224 players competed in the five sections.

This year's winner with 5½ out of 6 was GM Gata Kamsky, the current U.S. Champion. In the long history of the tournament many U.S. champions have also been NY State champions, but only twice before has a player been both at once: GM Joel Benjamin won both tournaments in 1987 and 2000. GM Kamsky was previously NY State Champion in 2005.

Two other former state champions tied for second place with 4½ points: GM Max Dlugy (champion in 1984, the only player to draw Kamsky) and IM Jay Bonin (champion in 1982, 1997 and 1999). Tied for fourth through ninth with 4-2 were: Igor Sorkin, IM Timothy Taylor, Matan Prilleltensky, Patrick Chi, Mahiro Abe and Joshua Rubin. The last three named players won an additional prize for being top players rated under 2,300.

First played in 1878 the New York State Chess Championship is the oldest continuously run annual tournament in the United States and perhaps the world. Among the many distinguished players on the list of champions are two world champions: Jose Capablanca in 1910 and Hans Berliner, 5th World Correspondence Champion, in 1953.

Steven Immitt along with Bill and Brenda Goichberg were tournament directors for the New York State Chess Association.
