1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Henri Koskinen, Marty Hirsch and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FIDE Candidates looks set to have a very close and very nervy finish. Anyone in the top half of the table has a realistic chance of winning the event. At the moment Sergey Karjakin and Viswanathan Anand share the lead but it's so close. Anyone who gets momentum and wins in the final rounds can take the prize of challenging Carlsen.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark
