1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Jan Mazuch, Daniel, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Gerry Graham, Michiel Abeln, Peter Doggers, Matthew Carr, John Saunders, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen started 2018 with his first major classical tournament win since Bilbao in July 2016. This was also a record breaking 6th Tata Steel Masters title (Carlsen also won the C-Group in 2004 and missed out on tie-break in 2006 in the B-Group). Carlsen defeated Anish Giri who was seeking to be the first Dutch winner since 1985. Nevertheless this looked like a return to form for Giri. Carlsen's fearsome blitz and tie-break reputation has only been enhanced in the last 12 months. Carlsen's classical form is not as good and even in Wijk aan Zee he only looked near his best towards the end of the tournament. With a World Championship match in November he will look for further improvement. The Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival is back and again very strong, the final rounds take place in the next few days with nothing settled yet.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 80th Tata Steel 2018

The 80th Tata Steel Masters took place in Wijk aan Zee with away days in Hilversum and Groningen, 13th to 28th January 2018. World Champion Magnus Carlsen scored his first classical tournament win since Bilbao in July 2016 and his 6th top group win in Wijk aan Zee. Anish Giri put in perhaps his most impressive performance so far. Giri looked more threatening than he has done in a long time. However Carlsen hasn't lost a tie-break since losing to Aronian in 2007 and in the last year has been dominant in blitz chess. He won very smoothly in the first tie-break game and calmly recovered from a tricky position to draw game two. Giri however finally looks to have put a period of rather indifferent chess behind him and looks ready for a better future.

Carlsen's top group wins in Wijk aan Zee:
2008 70th Aronian and Carlsen 1st= 8/13 Cat 20
2010 72nd Carlsen 8.5/13 Cat 19
2013 75th Carlsen 10/13 Cat 20
2015 77th Carlsen 9/13 Cat 20
2016 78th Carlsen 9/13 Cat 20
2018 80th Carlsen 9/13 Cat 20
