1) Introduction

My thanks to Alexander Prokhorov, Roland Wimmer, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luc Cornet, Franz Jittenmeier, Herman Van de Wynkele, Ivan Kocovski, Holger Lieske, Michael Kopylov, Miklos Orso and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 18th European Teams dominates affairs this week. Veselin Topalov looks to finally be playing himself into some form after a prolonged period of indifferent play. His Bulgarian Team leads after 5 rounds, a long way to go but favourites Russia and Ukraine have really suffered. Azerbaijan are challenging after beating rivals Armenia. I'm still trying to catch up after illness over the last couple of weeks so some material in other events had to be held over as I have fallen behind. Nevertheless there is still plenty of quality to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

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. The archive Chinese League Games hasn't been updated for a long time (maybe there is an archive elsewhere). Rounds 16-18 take place 5th-7th December 2011.

Bundesliga 2011-12

The Schachbundesliga 2011-12 takes place 14th October 2011 - 15th April 2011. The German event is the world's premier national team competition 15 rounds with possible tie-breaks 27th-29th April 2012. There has been a slight change in format with the rather odd split round 9 being ended. Instead the event kicks off with a triple round 1-3 at one venue Muelheim Nord 14th - 16th October 2011. The main shock was Baden-Baden's round 2 loss to hosts Muelheim, just their second match defeat since 2006.

Rounds 4-5 on 19th-20th November 2011.
