1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Alexander Prokhorov, Sinisa Joksic, Miklos Orso, Bernard Ouimet, Petr Pisk, Johan Sigeman, Dario Pedini, Harald Grafenhofer, Sean Hewitt, Dave Clayton and everyone else who helped with the issue.

Levon Aronian put down a marker in advance of the World Championship Candidates in May by winning the final Amber tournament with especially great blindfold play. Magnus Carlsen who withdrew from the Candidates scored an amazing 9.5/11 in the rapid but had a negative score in the blindfold but still came second. World Champion Viswanathan Anand finished 3rd. Veselin Topalov looked to be feeling his way back after his first extended layoff from chess, I think he pretty only much cares about a world title match now and will be in better shape in Kazan. Kramnik said that although his result was bad he would be in better shape for the Candidates too. Should be exciting. We will miss Amber a lot and it is also time to remember to thank Joop van Oosterom for the years of pleasure his tournaments have given us.

The London Chess Classic run by my sponsor Malcolm Pein has announced the great news of a 3rd edition for December. They're trying an experiment of upping the field to 9 players and having the player with the free day doing some commentary duty. Many more things are now becoming possible with improved capabilities for broadcasting on the internet so it will certainly be interesting to see how this works out.

The European Individual Championship is over half way through. This has been a very tough event so far with the favourites not having things at all. We should see an exciting finish.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Amber Blindfold and Rapid tournament 2011

Levon Aronian took clear first in the final Amber tournament with 15.5/22 a point clear of Magnus Carlsen. A major part of his win was an undefeated 8.5/11 in the blindfold section. A major advance on the 5 points he scored last year. Magnus Carlsen scored 5/11 in the blindfold but absolutely dominated the rapid with 9.5/11 (a record score). World Champion Viswanathan Anand finished in third on 13 points, Grischuk and Ivanchuk tied for 4th.

3) 12th European Individual 2011

The 12th European Individual takes place 21st March - 3rd April in Aix-les-Bains, France. The field is very strong in depth and the early running has been made by Vladimir Potkin on 6/7 rather than the famous names such as Peter Svidler, Ian Nepomniachtchi and Judit Polgar.

6) FIDE Chinese Zonal 3.5

The Chinese Zonal is just part of an explosion of activity in China around this time. This followed an 8 player event to select a player for their World Team Championships side and will be followed, if I understand correctly by the Chinese Championships (I still don't have details but check the blog address I give as the official site for this tournament). The zonal took place in Tianjing, China and contained only Chinese players including rather surprisingly to me, a number of unrated players. I don't know where a full file of games might be found but there was a small number of games from both groups being broadcast each round. Li Chao and Ju Wenjun secured qualification. I only have the standings up to round 8 as chess-results hasn't worked properly but most of the top boards were drawn.

13) Zonal 2.3 Caribbean

Zonal 2.3 for the Caribbean took place in Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic 18th-27th March 2011. Cuban players Leinier Dominguez Perez on 11 points edged out Lazaro Bruzon Batista on 10.5 for first place. The Cuban players are not currently rated presumably because their Federation has fallen behind in payments to FIDE. I'm not really sure what to do in a case like this as I couldn't establish what their rating should be.

London Chess Classic 2011 dates confirmed.

For general release on 26th March 2011

The dates for the London Chess Classic 2011 have been confirmed and the tournament will be held from December 3-12 at the Olympia Conference centre in Kensington. The tournament will change format slightly with the addition of one more player, making the UK's most prestigious tournament even stronger.

Each day, one player will have a day off and will assist the LCC commentary team both at Olympia and in the internet broadcast, making the Classic even more exciting to watch.

There will also be five days of junior coaching, a Grandmaster Open, and weekend tournaments for players of all levels. An innovation this year will be a chess festival with lectures, teaching and film screenings. The prize fund has been increased again and will be in excess of €150,000. The lineup will be announced in May.
