1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Miklos Orso, Mahdipour Reza, David Thomas, Aviv Fridman, Dave Clayton, Johan Sigeman, Mitko Iliev and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FIDE World Chess Championship enters the second half with Magnus Carlsen leading by a point from Viswanathan Anand after an amazing game six which saw Carlen blunder and Anand miss it. Anand saved the game today after a long and pretty convincing defence. Detailed reports on the main pages.

The Petrosian Memorial was won by Alexander Grischuk who also did pretty well in the Tal Memorial Blitz that followed but Shakhriyar Mamedyarov's big score on day one just saw him home. Johan Sigeman sent an email out this week announcing that this year's edition was the last one. I always liked the event which is around the same age as TWIC and so it was a little sad for me. There are plenty of other good events this week but it's already very late so I'll finish here.

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

Bundesliga 2014-15

The very strong German Schachbundesliga takes place Sat 18th Oct 2014 to Sun 12th Apr 2015. The next rounds are Friday 7th November for the first of the split round 7 (a retrograde step in my view, rather than finishing with three rounds they split one round in this very untidy way I can only think that there are financial considerations) and November 8th and 9th for rounds 3-4.
