Ginger GM - Chess Grandmaster Simon Williams

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Roland Wimmer, Europe Echecs, Christophe Philippe, Miguel E. Gomez Masjuan and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The first stage of the FIDE Grand Prix is under way in Sharjah, after three rounds Maxime Vachier-Lagrave leads on 2.5/3. The Women's World Chess Championship Knockout tournament takes place in Tehran and has reached the quarter finals where the first round results were Tan Zhongyi draw Ju Wenjun, Anna Muzychuk 1-0 Antoaneta Stefanova, Ni Shiqun draw Alexandra Kosteniuk and Dronavalli Harika 1-0 Nana Dzagnidze. Tomorrow the Aeroflot Open in Moscow starts. We also saw a round of German Bundesliga games. Plenty to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
