Analyses by Caruana, Giri, Duda, Wang Hao, So, Vidit, Vitiugov, McShane and many more. Plus videos by Williams, King and Shirov. 11 opening articles with new repertoire ideas and training sessions in strategy, tactics and endgame!
Tata Steel Chess was the main event of January, as evidenced by the large proportion of "13" in the Games column of the overall rankings. Gibraltar narrowly missed the rating cutoff date, and therefore won't be reflected until March.
Navigating the Ruy Lopez Vol.1-3
The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest openings which continues to enjoy high popularity from club level to the absolute world top. In this video series, American super GM Fabiano Caruana, talking to IM Oliver Reeh, presents a complete repertoire for White.
Magnus Carlsen's clear second place in Wijk aan Zee with three wins and ten draws nevertheless lost him a total of 10 Elo points, while Fabiano Caruana's stellar 10/13 netted the American 20 points. Wesley So was also undefeated with a pair of wins that left him in sole third place, and he moves up three spots in the world rankings from tenth to seventh.

Wijk aan Zee was not kind to Nikita Vitiugov, Yu Yangyi and Vladislav Kovalev in the Masters, or Nils Grandelius in the Challengers. But Daniil Dubov is knocking on the door of 2700, a mark he briefly exceeded in early 2019.
Karen Grigoryan entered the top 100 following a pair of successful open tournaments at the turn of the new year, while David Howell underperformed in Hastings.

The Women's World Championship between Ju Wenjun and Aleksandra Goryachkina saw Ju retain her title, but as for rating, the tied classical match made practically no impact. Hou Yifan remains unchallenged at the top.
Further down, Irina Bulmaga is at a career best 2453 on the strength of her Sharjah International Cup win.

Top juniors Alireza Firouzja and Jeffery Xiong both took part in the Tata Steel Masters. Firouzja in particular caused a sensation there, however, this hardly had any influence on either player's rating: Firouzja gained three points, Xiong lost three. Their individual game ended in a win for Firouzja.

Grandmaster Mikhail Golubev's opinion piece on suspicious Ukrainian tournaments and the chaos in the country's national team provoked a lively discussion in the comments. Shortly after publication, FIDE addressed the chief claims in an ad hoc resolution posted to the FIDE website, and declined to rate the event that would have brought Ihor Kobylianskyi (whose classical Elo is 2400) to the top 10 on the rapid world rankings, pending an investigation. Kobylianskyi's name is therefore omitted.
