1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Alex Relyea, David Clayton, Mitko Iliev, Luiz Roberto Da Costa jr, Simon Woodcock, Etienne Van Leeuwen, Pedro Alberdi, Henri Koskinen, Kenneth Regan, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FIDE Candidates are in there early stages with Anand, Karjakin and Aronian all scoring wins. I have a feeling that experience may end up winning this event rather than the ratings favourites Giri, Nakamura and Caruana all of whom are playing at this level for the first time. There's a very long way to go. Hou Yifan regained the women's world championship after defeating Mariya Muzychuk. Hou was more highly rated and more experienced than her opponent but Muzychuk put up a good fight and should emerge stronger from the experience.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

3) World Chess Championship Women 2016

The Women's World Chess Championship took place in Lviv 2nd to 14th March 2016. Hou Yifan regained the title by beating Mariya Muzychuk 6-3. Muzychuk won the title last year in a knockout event where Hou Yifan declined to defend her title. The result was more or less in line with their respective ratings. Muzychuk fought well but the turn around from pressing for a win to losing game 6 seemed like a body blow.
