1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Alexander Prokhorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Frank Berry, Hans Groffen, Hassan Khaled, Miklos Orso, Ralf Mulde, Dan Rat, Rene Alonso, Varlam Vepkhvishvili, Paulo Rocha, Zenon Franco Ocampos and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 7th Tal Memorial has seen it's first 3 rounds and the unique blitz tournament that opened the event. This is the first major tournament since Wijk aan Zee in January and follows on from the World Chess Championship in Moscow. The video coverage that is standard for the top Russian events absolutely changes the way top chess can be watched and indeed reported. Commentary in Russian and English, the press conferences and close ups of the players. The remaining 6 rounds should be fantastic. World number one Magnus Carlsen has appeared very rusty, in particular his opening preparation, not world beating at the best of times has been particularly poor so far. He did save two lost games with some very interesting play however so his practical play is as strong as ever. Teimour Radjabov and Alexander Morozevich lead with 2.5/3 but almost anything can happen. For those for an appetite for 12 hours of chesstv in a day Saint Louis has commentary from the enjoyable Jennifer Shahade and Ben Finegold on a match between Yasser Seirawan and Anatoly Karpov. Also there was the 25th Anniversary of the Leon tournament where Francisco Vallejo Pons rather surprisingly beat Veselin Topalov who blundered an awful lot. Topalov is ambitious to get back into the elite, my guess is that he needs to get on the road and play a lot of chess. He's had his ups and downs in his career, I wouldn't rule out a comeback. Finally Michal Krasenkow scored 9/10 in the French league, a fantastic result for a very nice man, congratulations. Plenty to enjoy.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 7th Mikhail Tal Memorial 2012

The 7th Mikhail Tal Memorial started with its opening ceremony on Thursday 7th June 2012. They came up with an incredibly clever idea (one which would only work in such a well financed event) of having a blitz tournament to decide the draw numbers of the players. Alexander Morozevich edged out Magnus Carlsen on tie-break. The event sees return to action of World Number 1 Magnus Carlsen after a long break in a super-strong field of Aronian, Kramnik, Radjabov, Nakamura, Caruana, Morozevich, Grischuk, Tomashevsky and McShane. Daily coverage. Games, results and stories on this page throughout the event.

3) XXV Ciudad de Leon

The 25th Leon Masters went ahead in spite of the financial crisis engulfing Spain. The organisers did a truly great job keeping going for so long and didn't deserve to have their thunder stolen by the Tal Memorial. Veselin Topalov and one of his former seconds Francisco Vallejo Pons played a 6 game rapid match Friday 8th - Sunday 10th June 2012. 2 games at 45m+15spm per day. Francisco Vallejo Pons defeated Veselin Topalov 3.5-2.5. He thought he came physically well prepared and played well. However all the questions were really about Topalov who blundered badly on single moves in all his losses. Topalov, just as after his bad Wijk aan Zee event, was typically level headed. "Clearly I suffered a crisis, especially in concentration. But I'm at an age [37 years old] where it is still appropriate to continue in the elite. I hope that when I get in shape by playing more tournaments, this will improve my performance. " Indeed Topalov looks most of all desperately short of chess and he'll have to think how he is going to remedy this.

Chinese League 2012

The marathon Chinese League takes place 28th April to 9th October 2012. First four rounds took place in Beijing. Rounds 4-7 27th-30th June 2012. It seems we can't believe the dates on chess-results for the Chinese League as a fourth round of games were played. This is a very tricky league to cover at the best of times without the only reliable English source of information being so wrong.

38) XLVII Capablanca Memorial 2012

The 47th Capablanca Memorial took place in Havana, Cuba 4th-14th May 2012. The Elite Group saw the return of 5 time winner (2005-7, 2010-11) and defending champion Vassily Ivanchuk and he won for the 6th time in a row with 6.5/10 by a point from Ian Nepomniachtchi who went down in flames in the final round trying to catch Ivanchuk and was defeated by Leinier Dominguez Perez who caught him on 5.5 points.

Further games from the Premier Group are still expected although I'm increasingly worried they won't turn up.

39) 4th European Chess Festival Lublin 2012

The 4th European Chess Festival in Lublin also had a Poland - Ukraine Rapid Match. Games now available.
