1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Miklos Orso, Dave Clayton, Peter Boel, Lennart Ootes and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FIDE Grand Prix in Baku is set for a close finish with Fabiano Caruana and Boris Gelfand leading by half a point going into the final round. Neither had it their own way this week and half the field has a chance of winning the event. The final day of the Millionaire Open takes place as I write. The results will follow next week. Anish Giri has won the first two games of his match against Alexei Shirov in Hoogeveen. Nigel Short won the Pokerstars Isle of Man Congress putting to an end a bad run of form that saw him drop out of the top 100 in September. Plenty more chess besides in an issue full of high quality games.

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
