FIDE Grand Swiss 2023: Vidit Gujrathi's winning game against Alexandr Predke in the final round secured him the tournament victory and thus - like runner-up Hikaru Nakamura - qualification for the 2024 Candidates Tournament. In this issue you will find analyses by Vidit as well as Abdusattorov, Bartel, Deac, Erigaisi, Giri, Grandelius, Krasenkov, Kuzubov, L'Ami, Matlakov, Melkumyan, Mendonca, A. Muzychuk, M. Muzychuk, Nguyen, Ponomariov, Praggnanandhaa, Sargissian, Saric, Ter-Sahakyan and Vaishali, the winner of the women's Grand Swiss 2023.
The Hungarian number one is considered one of the most creative players of our time. Mihail Marin has analysed Richard Rapport's style in detail. In three Fritztrainer videos and numerous analyses, he characterises him as a mixture of originality and classicism.
Everything you need to know about a variation in one extensively annotated game: Balàzs Csonka recommends a line for Black against the g3-King's Indian: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 0-0 5.Nf3 d6 6.0-0 c6 7.Nc3 and now 7... Bf5!?
How do you inject some vigour into the Scotch Four Knights Game? Rustam Kasimdzhanov presents the at first glance surprising 5...Nxe4 – a move that is obviously becoming more and more popular especially on club level! Luis Engel conclu¬des his analysis of the Najdorf Variation with 6.Rg1 and also gives his "okay" for 6...b5 and 6...h5. And Mihail Marin shows that Magnus Carlsen went too far with the shocker 10...Rg8?! in the Ruy Lopez Norwegian Defence at the Qatar Masters against GM Abhimanyu Sameer Puranik.

The 16th game of the 1985 World Champion¬ship match between Karpov and Kasparov is one of the most important games of the 20th century. With his victory with Black, Kasparov impressively paved his way to winning the title. Dorian Rogozenco explains the many, often prophylactic motives in the game of the 13th world champion.
