1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Alex Relyea, Henri Koskinen, Jan Jaap Janse, Denis Vretenar, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Gashimov Memorial looks to be shaping up to be a battle between Fabiano Caruana (4.5/5) and Anish Giri (4/5) it could be that this is the first of many battles between these two for years to come. There are many other interesting events this week including the French Team Championship, European Women's Championship, Asian and American Continential events and many more. A lot of quality chess to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
