1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Paulo Rocha, Jack Peters, Peter Boel, Dave Clayton, Dimitris Skyrianoglou, Holger Lieske and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The main events of the week were in China with the Russians losing their regular match against China. Their top player Ding Liren was not playing instead he played a four game match against Boris Gelfand 3-1. China may not yet be the stronger chess country but it looks to me only a matter of time before they overtake Russia as the best Chinese players are mostly young and the best Russians mostly older. The Biel Chess Festival started today with Michael Adams starting with a win. The Lake Sevan chess tournament was a really interesting chess tournament with Jan-Krzysztof Duda emerging as the winner with 6/9. Of course there were many, many other events in this summer chess festival season.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

3) China-Russia Match 2015

The China-Russia Match took place in Ningbo 14th to 20th July 2015. China beat the Russian men 14-11 and Russian women 15-10. The men also won the initial blitz 26-24 and 28-22. The blitz games were broadcast on a dodgy feed which meant capturing the games was difficult if not impossible, it is to be hoped that the Chinese organisers will publish them.
