1) Introduction

My thanks to Alexander Prokhorov, Roland Wimmer, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Jan Mazuch, Christophe Philippe, Roberto Mogranzini, Nastja Karlovich, Alberts Cimins, Michiel Abeln, Frits Agterdenbos and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 74th Tata Steel tournament saw Levon Aronian score probably the best victory of his career winning with 9/13 (7 wins 4 draws and 2 losses) by a point from Magnus Carlsen and Teimour Radjabov. Aronian might have even overtaken Magnus Carlsen as world number one as Magnus Carlsen played quite badly in the second half and admitted he was lucky to finish on +3. Teimour Rajdabov won 3 and drew the rest to be the only undefeated player. There are mutterings about how dull he can be, especially with the white pieces, in the final round he didn't try at all to beat and catch Aronian, a professional if utterly dull choice. The next few months are a quiet period for the elite. Aronian plans a study camp in February. Maybe Carlsen's dodgy second half will encourage him to do something similar, in recent interviews he's suggested he is doing very little work at the moment outside of playing.

Just as I put this issue to bed a Grand Slam Association announces that there will be a return of a Linares tournament with half the event shared with a Mexican city. Welcome news from organisers who generally are very bad with informing the public. Bilbao will also host the 5th edition of their Masters Final September 24th - October 13th 2012. 6 players 10 rounds. The Kings tournament in Bazna also returns, no dates but probably it will be in June as last year. The bids for the Candidates tournament have to be submitted by the end of the month, it is to be hoped it doesn't clash with other events. Also there is the Olympiad in Istanbul scheduled for 27th August - 10th September 2012 although when I investigated I couldn't find even such basic details as a named venue (I looked long and hard) or a proper website, which combined with whispers there might be problems (there is absolutely no room in the year's schedule to move dates for instance) it would be nice to see some press releases about how their preparations are going. In addition it was announced at the end of the Tata Steel tournament that Levon Aronian will play Vladimir Kramnik in a 6 game match in Zuerich 21st-28th April 2012. So events are emerging for the first half of the year now.

The Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival has been somewhat overshadowed for me by the end of the Tata Steel tournament but one result today caught the eye. Judit Polgar lost to women's World Chess Champion Hou Yifan in what I believe is their first meeting. Finally a challenger to Polgar's number one ranking in the women's game? Michael Adams is enjoying a fine return to form after his disaster in the London Classic and leads with 6/7 with three rounds to go.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 74th Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee 2012

Levon Aronian decided that discretion was the better part of valour and took a very quick draw with white against Teimour Radjabov which secured victory in the 74th Tata Steel tournament for the "best result so far" in his career. Magnus Carlsen finished level with Radjabov after drawing an interesting game with Loek van Wely. They were joined by Fabiano Caruana who beat Boris Gelfand in a very drawish queen ending. Gata Kamsky was the only other winner piling further misery on Veselin Topalov who again misplayed a decent position. Tournament director Jeroen van den Berg confirmed that the 75th event will go ahead at the same time of year in 2013. The field of experience and ambitious youngsters produced exciting chess but Aronian with 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses was the dominant figure and clearly a deserved winner. Top seed Magnus Carlsen admitted that his play after round 7 "was a total mess".

4) Moscow Open 2012

The Moscow Open that traditionally leads into the Aeroflot Open takes place 29th January - 5th February 2012. In addition to the main Open A there is a women's open and two all-play-alls for young men and women masters.
