Editor Speaks

The first issue of AICCF Bulletin 2024 is in your hands.

Sailesh Chandra has provided yet another interesting article titled Thinking like an Engine-Part 2. This time the theme is on Imbalances.

This edition has an interesting endgame study on “Reciprocal Zugzwangs” by Umesh P Narendran.

Some ideas on Opening theory are shared by HP Chavan (Budapest Opening from White’s Perspective) and Amit Sharma. (Grob Opening)

Omprakash Mohanty analyses two of his recent wins under the title “Winners don’t do different things, they do things differently”.

In Chess Tidbits, several important chess events since the last issue are provided such as the 2023 Candidates, World Rapid and Blitz 2023, World Junior Championships 2023, Prague Masters Championships 2024, Tata Steel Championships, etc.

Looking forward to your comments and wishing our Readers a very Happy New Year 2024 and a wonderful year ahead!

Sincerely Yours,
Anil Anand
Bulletin Editor
