Before And thats just about it for the year. Theyre awkward to write, end-of-year posts, with their round-ups-of-the-year, their ironic asides and their holiday wishes at the end. (Still, if Im finding this effort is awkward, I wouldnt fancy the King of Spains job.) Suffice to say that in my view the worst chess news of the year was Kirsan Ilyumzhinov winning his election his post and the best news was Garry Kasparov losing his. And that was the year for you. Everything was just as bad at the end of it as it was at the beginning. Either that, or it was worse. Well be back with more cheerfulness in the New Year, albeit with a little less of it than before, since weve found our schedule a little too onerous, with the current staffing levels, to keep up. So for next year well be doing a minimum three postings a week, where weve previously been doing a minimum four. (It was either that, or more obvious fillers like this piece.) No Xmas puzzles, either: we couldnt think of any that your computers wouldnt be able to solve for you. Its all cuts these days. Back around the sixth. After
