1) Introduction

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

With the finish of the SportAccord World Mind Games the elite players are finished until the new year. Sergey Karjakin won the blitz and the Basque events and was the great winner. 2014 is another world championship year with the Candidates in March and World Championship scheduled for November. This has been one of the better years for the international game ending with Carlsen as champion and with that signs that the game is picking up some media profile. It is important not to go backwards as the economic crisis still affects chess, especially in its formally traditional events. 2014 promises to be a better year both in chess and elsewhere, lets hope that's the case. Viswanathan Anand has given contradictory indications as to whether he'll play the Candidates or not in March. For me it has to be whether he has the appetite to prepare properly for the tournament and wants to have another match against Carlsen. Many of the players won't play again before the Candidates which leaves them time to prepare to be their very best for the event. I would like to see the Candidates rise to a status almost alongside the world championship and this level of commitment by the players promises to make this one really special.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) SportAccord World Mind Games 2013

The SportAccord World Mind Games took place in Beijing 12th to 18th December 2013. 16 top men and 16 top women's players play in Rapid, Blitz and Basque (play white and black games simultaneously against the same opponent). Website now seems available. Wang Yue won the rapid ahead of Leko, Sergey Karjakin won the blitz ahead of Levon Aronian. The interesting experiment of a Basque system tournament where players play two games one with each colour simultaneously against the same opponent was the last event and was won by Sergey Karjakin ahead of Shakhriyar Mamedyarov who beat Levon Aronian 2-0 in the final round.
