1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Richard Freeman, Mitko Iliev, John Saunders, Henri Koskinen and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The main events of the week are the French and Chinese Team Championships. Anish Giri has gained rating points in France as has Wei Yi in China. It may not be important but Wei Yi would need to get over 2725 in order for him to be eligible for a wildcard in the Candidates if the Chinese were to host the event. The mark has to be passed in the July list next month. Elsewhere the early summer tournaments seem to have arrived as we enter a busy period for chess. This time next week we'll see the opening ceremony of the Norway Chess tournament and Magnus Carlsen's return to the board. Plenty to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

10) Chris Clegg Memorial Rapidplay 2015

John Saunders reports: "The Chris Clegg Memorial Rapidplay, organised by Kingston Chess Club, was held on Sunday 7 June 2015 and played at the Royal Oak pub in New Malden, near Kingston-upon-Thames. The time control was 15 minutes per player for all the moves. Chief organiser was John Foley and arbiter was David Sedgwick.

Chris Clegg (1948-2015) had been a devoted member of Kingston Chess Club since his schooldays in the mid-1960s and he surely would have been delighted to see such a strong field turn out to pay homage to his memory, particularly GM John Nunn, who recalled playing Chris in 1967.

John Nunn was hot favourite and lived up to his billing, winning all five games in his preliminary group and then four more in the semi-finals and final. Final: J Nunn 2-0 Gavin Wall. Semi-Finals: John Nunn 2-0 Michael Healey, Gavin Wall 2-0 Russell Granat. The four semi-finalists qualified from four preliminary groups of six/seven players each."
