1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Miklos Orso, Omar Salama and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Another really busy chess week. Viswanthan Anand won the 1st GRENKE Chess Classic in Baden-Baden which was an action packed event until the end. Fabiano Caruana who led throughout couldn't convert a winning position against Daniel Fridman in the final round. Anand beat Arkadij Naiditsch who provided much of the action in the event but who just faded away at the end.

This was Anand's first tournament win since Morelia/Linares in 2008. Anand is quickly back in action in Zuerich starting on the 23rd with Kramnik, Caruana (again!) and Gelfand. It will be interesting to see if his form might get even better with all this chess. I don't know anyone in the chess world that isn't delighted to see Anand back playing interesting chess and in the mix for the top prizes in tournaments.

The Aeroflot Open rapid finished in a replay of the Piterenka Rapid with an Armageddon game between Sergey Karjakin and Alexander Grischuk. Different colours, same result. In addition there was another strong rapid in the Vladimir Petrov Memorial in Jurmala won by Radoslaw Wojtaszek.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

3) Aeroflot Open 2013

The Aeroflot Open was converted to a rapid and blitz event which took place 12th to 17th February 2013. The rapid event had qualifiers followed by a final with the addition of Alexander Grischuk, Peter Svidler, Dmitry Andreikin, Sergey Karjakin, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Wang Hao and Shahriyar Mammadyarov. In the final Sergey Karjakin forced down Alexander Grischuk's flag in an Armageddon tie-break after both rapid games were drawn. This was the technique that Grischuk should followed in their recent and more controversial Piterenka Rapid Blitz Armageddon playoff. Here Karjakin switched from trying to win the position to forcing the flag down late on. He only had to avoid perpetual check or mate to win with 6 seconds vs Grischuk 1 second. The game ended up with the board in disarray and Grischuk playing the clock with one hand and the pieces the other which is at the least frowned upon. The fact was he was lost on the clock and Karjakin exploited that as you should if you're a professional. I'm less convinced these Armageddon games are necessary. Was everybody in such a hurry to leave that at least a couple of 5m+3spm games couldn't have been scheduled first?
