1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jack Peters, Mitko Iliev, Josip Asik, Oscar Ruiz and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The end of the year is always very busy and the Qatar Masters is the final elite event of the year. The 2014 edition was very strong but the organisers promised to make it even more special in 2015 and they delivered. World Champion Magnus Carlsen heads an extremely strong field for an open. Carlsen didn't have it all his own way being held by Nino Batsiashvili in the first round and only beating Chithambaram Aravindh by taking advantage of his opponents time troubles. However it's worth remembering Vladimir Kramnik had a slow start last year before winning six in a row. Lots to look forward to there and in the many other fine events. Happy Christmas everyone.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

5) China-Russia Win and Continue Match Pt2 2015

Sergey Karjakin finished off the demolition of the Chinese Team in the Win and Continue format by beating their final player Wang Yue on December 16th. Earlier in July 29th to 1st August Karjakin had already beating four other Chinese players in mini-matches. It may be a very long time before this is tried again as it just didn't work thanks to the stellar form of this one player.
