THE WEEK IN CHESS 704 5th May 2008 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Louis Caruana, Mathias Morin, Piet Boonen, Eirik T. Gullaksen, Malcolm Armstrong, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Thomas Henrich, Miklos Orso, Pierre Becker, Frank Berry, Dave Clayton, George Mirijanian, Zsolt Korpics and everyone else who helped with the issue.

Another very busy week with fabulous chess. There was a bit of a surprise in the first Grand Prix event in Baku with Vugar Gashimov and Wang Yue sharing first place along with the less surprising Magnus Carlsen. I've really enjoyed the first event and hopefully the rest will be equally exciting. Sergei Tiviakov won the European Individual Championship which was as usual a huge event. This week sees the start of the MTel Masters. So plenty to keep us entertained.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
