1) Introduction

My thanks to Alexander Prokhorov, Roland Wimmer, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Sinisa Joksic, Sean Hewitt, Wim Maes and everyone else who helped with the issue.

A hugely busy week of chess. The FIDE World Cup has gone down from 128 players to just 16 starting to play tomorrow. It has been a huge amount of work. The official video coverage definitely helps make this event make more sense. There wasn't an outstanding favourite at the start and that is still the case, the top seed Sergey Karjakin was eliminated by Judit Polgar but he probably felt he was unlucky to get such a tough pairing. The Botvinnik Memorial featuring the top four players in the World was won by Viswanathan Anand who played by far the best chess. Magnus Carlsen came bottom after losing all his games on day 2. Perhaps I expected too much from these players who are not only the top 4 in the world but pretty close to the top 4 rapid players too but I was a bit underwhelmed with the quality of chess but it seems I'm alone in that. Probably they were no worse that the 25 minute playoff games in the World Cup. Anyhow the World Cup is now at manageable proportions, I should find time to enjoy the chess this week a bit more, too much chess has defintely been a bit of a chore.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) FIDE World Cup 2011

36) Active Team Events

A list of ongoing team events without an update this week.

Chinese League 2011

The Chinese League started 12th April. This week saw rounds 10-12: 10th-12th July. This year has been a bit of a mess after last year's clear coverage. They change the dates from those shown in chess results so it just turned up this week, the live coverage has broken down for the second successive batch of matches (round 12) and the archive Chinese League Games hasn't been updated (maybe there is an archive elsewhere). Allegedly the next rounds are 13-15 in Qingdao on 26th-28th October, but who knows, at this stage they seem to be making things up as they go along.
