ChessBase Magazin 134

ChessBase Magazine starts into 2010 with three very different tournament highlights:

• The FIDE World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk was once more carried out as a massive KO tournament with 128 participants and saw in Boris Gelfand a victor who threw into the scales against his rivals, who were almost all younger, his experience and strong nerves.
• The London Chess Classic consisted of an all-play-all with the 3-point rule and saw a neck to neck race between Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik. The world's new number one managed to decide the tournament in his favour.
• In the World Team Championship in Bursa, Turkey, Russia managed, despite an early slip-up, to defend its title, ahead of the USA which had been leading in the meantime.

ChessBase Magazine also contains:

• Introductory videos by GMs Carsten Müller and Dorian Rogozenco
• The latests openings surveys by GMs Marin, Schandorff, Grivas, Kritz, Stohl, Kuzmin, Postny, Langrock, Rogozenco, Karolyi, Krasenkow
