1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, John Saunders, Steve Connor, Miklos Orso, Egis Zer, Hassan Khaled, Dave Clayton and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Fabiano Caruana may not have been at his best at the start of the FIDE Grand Prix in Baku but it was still enough for him to be a joint leader with Boris Gelfand after four rounds. Many of the competitors haven't played in a while and looked quite rusty, one hopes that they will be into it after the first rest day. Elsewhere there are many nice events including the start of the World Junior Championship today.

TWIC turned 20 on September 17th. You can read my article 20 years of TWIC. which includes a full listing of all issues including all the texts. I have all the PGNs but that's a very large file but a ChessBase cbv archive format can be bought for £30 which will help me head out from this landmark. The cost of TWIC is basically my wage so any support would be very welcome as it's very tough surviving on pure advertising, although that has been essential too and I thank them too.

If you also wish to donate to help me keep TWIC going and move it forward then you can do so via PayPal at:

Send a £30 donation via Paypal and contact me via email (Email Mark Crowther - mdcrowth@btinternet.com) I'll send you an address for a ChessBase cbv file of my personal copy of every issue of the games in one database.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
