1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Mitko Iliev, Lennart Ootes, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The first of four FIDE Grand Prix events finished in Sharjah with a three way tie for money and grand prix points between Alexander Grischuk, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. The Women's World Championship final is between Anna Muzychuk and Zhongyi Tan, the first game was a draw. The Aeroflot Open continues in Moscow. Plenty of good stuff to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
