1) Introduction
---------------
My thanks to Bob Wade, Eric Schiller, Jay Whitley, Norbert Friedrich,
Roberto Gabriel Alvarez, Szabo Zsolt, Wlodek Proskurowski,
Brian Stephenson and Michael Niermann for their help in preparing
this issue. (I hope I haven't left any one out.)
The production of this issue was not as smooth as I had hoped
so I apologies for any mistakes in advance. Particularly important
was Bob Wade's help with catching up with the gamescores with
Linares (which he faxed to me this morning along with the games
from the Varsity match) however I didn't choose the best method
in dealing with electronic faxes so there may be some errors in
my entry of the games for which I apologies in advance. I will
check them at my leasure this week. Any queries will be greatfully
received and checked. I had hoped to say a bit more about the
match of the decade (so far!), Anand - Kamsky but that will
have to wait until next week (particularly useful as I haven't
a clue how to even start predicting this match!) Also the final
moves from the Pan Pacific (Post adjournment of Christiansen-Nunn (4)
will also follow next week) Anyway, a games packed issue, so as
Yasser says: "Enjoy!"

2) Anand - Kamsky Las Palmas
----------------------------
Probably the most eagerly antisipated and unpredicable match
of the year starts in Las Palmas this week. The final of the
PCA Candidates permits the winner to challenge Kasparov for
his title. The start date is given as March 8th which will
probably be the opening ceremony with March 9th being the
first day's play. There will be coverage of this match in
TWIC obviously, starting next week. I will probably
have updates (and continued updates to Linares) at my www site
in the meantime.)

the first three rounds. (please see my note about the games
below however.)
It is reported that Shirov who lives in Barcelona has
applied to become a naturalised Spanish citizen.

CORRECTION. This turned out not to be the case:
(I believe that Salov (Valdemaquada) and Ljubojevic
(Linares) are also going through this process)

GAMES
------
Please inform me of any possible errors in these gamescores.
I have made slight changes to Karpov 1/2 Shirov (1) to that
which I posted earlier. It needs checking. Bob Wade was
kind enough to fax (a first for me) me the games from the
first three rounds. I then proceded to choose one of the
slowest, dumbest methods of entering the games. I will
check them later in the week, but there may be some errors.

4) The Pan Pacific International by Eric Schiller
---------------------------------------------------
The Pan Pacific International is sponsored by Mindscape,
and the Mechanics Institute. Bank of America, Sutro Corporation,
Dean Witter and Smith Barney have also provided significant
support for the event. Bulletin Editor William C. Haines.
(Jay Whitley produced some tournament tables.)
Venue: Holiday Inn, 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco.
---------------------------------------------------------
ROUND 5 25/02/95
-----------------
Huebner 0-1 Korchnoi
Ashley 0-1 Nunn
Xie Jun 1/2 Gulko
DeFirmian 1/2 Christiansen
Polgar 1-0 Tisdall
Browne 0-1 Waitzkin
It was a bloody day, with four decisive games out of six.
Additional evidence of the fighting nature of the entire
tournament may be found by noting that the shortest game of the
round was a victory for Black after just eighteen moves in the
game between Viktor Korchnoi and Robert Huebner. This, combined
with the draw in the battle between Women's World Champion Xie
Jun and United States Champion Boris Gulko created a first
place tie between Gulko and Korchnoi just after the midway
point in the 1995 Pan Pacific International. These games
involving the veterans overshadowed the finest day yet for the
youngest participants, as Joshua Waitzkin (18) upset six-time
United States Champion Walter Browne and Zsofia Polgar defeated
Jonathan Tisdall. Only Maurice Ashley slipped up, losing to
John Nunn, who is clearly showing the form that made him one of
the most dangerous opponents of the 1980s. To Maurice's credit,
he has handled his poor start stoically and remained in good
cheer throughout.
ROUND 6 26/02/95
-----------------
Nunn 1-0 Xie Jun
Gulko 1/2 Browne
Christiansen 1-0 Ashley
Tisdall 0-1 Huebner
Waitzkin 1/2 Polgar
Korchnoi 1/2 DeFirmian
The Mechanics Institute, one of the main sponsors of the event,
is home to one of the oldest and busiest chess clubs in
America. John Nunn's brilliant play against Xie Jun will no
doubt be replayed there many times during the coming weeks. A
model of proper play in the Spanish Game, White's attack was
launched by a powerful move which was cunningly prepared well
before the exchange of pieces in the center. The victory
brought Nunn into a first-place tie. Boris Gulko was content
to split the point with Walter Browne after his blockade of
Browne's isolated queen pawn did not have sufficient support to
win it. Viktor Korchnoi obtained the bishop pair against Nick
deFirmian, but eventually the minor pieces came off and a rook
and pawn endgame was peacefully concluded. The game between
Jonathan Tisdall and Robert Huebner was also memorable, but
this time it was Black who broke through and now Huebner is one
point behind the leaders. He is joined by Larry Christiansen,
who defeated Maurice Ashley by exploiting the bishop pair
through opening up the game and then bringing his rooks into
position to control the back ranks. Joshua Waitzkin and Zsofia
Polgar battled hard, and the young players engaged in a
tactical brawn where White's pawn on the seventh rank was
balanced by Black's rook and queen on the opposite side of the
board. A draw was finally agreed.
Standings:
Gulko (USA), Korchnoi (SWZ) Nunn (ENG) 4.5
Huebner (GER), Christiansen (USA) 3.5
DeFirmian (USA), Xie Jun (PRC) 3
Browne (USA), Waitzkin (USA) 2.5
Polgar (HUN) 2
Tisdall (NOR) 1.5

-----------------
DeFirmian 1/2 Tisdall

Polgar 1/2 Gulko
Browne 0-1 Nunn
Xie Jun 1-0 Ashley
Korchnoi 1/2 Christiansen
Standings :
Nunn (ENG) 5.5
Gulko (USA) and Korchnoi (SWZ) 5
Christiansen (USA) and Huebner (GER) 4
DeFirmian (USA) and Xie Jun (PRC) 3.5

Ashley (USA) 1
John Nunn of London, England took sole possession of first place in the
seveth round of Mindscape's Pan-Pacific International Chess Championship in
San Francisco with a score of 5.5 out of 8. This will surely please the
members of the Mechanics Institute, co-sponsor of the event, since the
worldwide Mechanics Institute movement originated in England. Nunn defeated
six-time United States Champion Walter Browne when the latter overstepped the
time limit before he could make his 60th move. Nunn had enjoyed the advantage
of an extra pawn for much of the game, but experts commented that in the
final position a draw would have been an almost inevitable conclusion. The
other decisive game saw Women's World Champion Grandmaster Xie Jun of China
defeat International Master Maurice Ashley, a Jamaican-born resident of
Brooklyn, NY. She battled with queen against Ashley's pair of rooks, but
managed to win additional pawns, secure her king, and won at move 66.
Eighteen year-old International Master Joshua Waitzkin (NY) held his own
against German Grandmaster Robert Huebner in a wild affair. Viktor Korchnoi
remained in contention just a half-point back of Nunn, but might have kept up
the pace had he not missed a chance against Larry Christiansen at move 27.
The game was agreed drawn 35 moves later. United States Champion Boris Gulko
is also tied for second place after drawing with Zsofia Polgar (HUN).

ROUND 8 01/03/95
-----------------
Tisdall 0-1 Korchnoi
Gulko 1-0 Huebner
Waitzkin 0-1 DeFirmian
Christiansen 1/2 Xie Jun
Ashley 1/2 Browne
Nunn 1/2 Polgar
Standings after 8 rounds :
Gulko (USA), Korchnoi (SWZ) and Nunn (ENG) 6
Christiansen (USA), DeFirmian (USA), and Xie Jun (PRC) 4.5
Huebner (GER) 4
Browne (USA), Polgar (HUN) and Waitzkin 3
Tisdall (NOR) 2
Ashley (USA) 1.5
England's John Nunn played it safe today, and when he was unable to gain any
significant advantage against Zsofia Polgar (HUN) the game concluded
peacefully on move 19. This was one of the very few short draws in
Mindscape's Pan-Pacific International. This allowed Boris Gulko and Viktor
Korchnoi to climb back into a three-way tie for first place at the Mindscape
Pan Pacific International Chess Tournament. Gulko defeated German Grandmaster
Robert Huebner. Korchnoi defeated Norwegian International Master Jonathan
Tisdall when the latter fell into time pressure after obtaining another good
position with the White pieces. Maurice Ashley had an extra pawn against
Walter Browne in an endgame with bishops of opposite colors, but remains in
last place since there was no way to convert the material into a winning
advantage. Josh Waitzkin had an exciting game once again, but Nick deFirmian
prevailed in a wild finish. Larry Christiansen dominated the queenside early
and pressured Xie Jun well into the third and final time control with
Christiansen enjoying the advantage of an extra pawn, but Xie Jun defended
reourcefully, eventually sacrificing a knight to earn a draw.
With three rounds to go, none of the aspirants for Grandmaster norms have any
chance to achive them here, but all four International Masters continue to
battle hard in every game. The game between Zsofia Polgar and Womens World
Champion Xie Jun, their first ever, is eagerly awaited. Josh Waitzkin, the
lowest ranked tournament, is exceeding expections and Jon Tisdall is still
trying to break his streak of bad luck.
Pan-Pacific International
Report on Round 9, played Thursday, March 2, 1995.
by Eric Schiller, Press Officer
Korchnoi takes lead. Tisdall and Ashley finally win one.
ROUND 9 02/03/95
-----------------
Korchnoi 1-0 Waitzkin
DeFirmian 1-0 Gulko
Tisdall 1-0 Christiansen
Polgar 0-1 Ashley
Huebner 1/2 Nunn
Browne 1/2 Xie Jun
Standings after 9 rounds :
Korchnoi (SWZ) 7
Nunn (ENG) 6.5
Gulko (USA) 6
DeFirmian (USA) 5.5
Xie Jun (PRC) 5
Christiansen (USA) and Huebner (GER) 4.5
Browne (USA) 3.5
Tisdall (NOR),Polgar (HUN) and Waitzkin 3
Ashley (USA) 2.5
What a round! Mindscape's Pan Pacific International continues to defy the
norm of round robin tournaments, where short draws are usually plentiful and
decisive games are rare. In round nine there were four decisive results, and
even the two drawn games ran more than 50 moves and were hard fought battles.
Viktor Korchnoi demonstrated that he is not running out of steam as he took
control of first place with a solid victory over Josh Waitzkin, who castled
at move 8, logically enough, instead of equalizing with 8...Nd4! As he
remarked after the post-mortem, who would think that castling by Black would
lead to a positional advantage for White? John Nunn had to struggle to
maintain his second place position, holding a pawn-down endgame with rooks
and bishops of opposite colors against Robert Huebner. United States Champion
Boris Gulko had what looked like a promising position, but Nick deFirmian
correctly evaluated it as better for White thoughout and scored the full
point with some nice tactical flourishes. Most onlookers had thought that
Gulko was likely to win, but the post-mortem proved them wrong. Jonathan
Tisdall finally notched up a point with a fine win over Larry Christiansen.
Though in deep time trouble as usual, he hurdled the time control with just a
few seconds to spare. Maurice Ashley also picked himself off the floor and
resisted Zsofia Polgar's speculative attack and hung on to convert his bishop
and two pawns vs. rook material advantage. Walter Browne had a fine-looking
position against Xie Jun, and even in the king and pawn ending many strong
players were forecasting a win for him, but the Womens' World Champion hung
tough and in the end the point was split.
There are only two rounds remaining, and Korchnoi and Nunn are the clear
favorites. But there is a complication. Korchnoi must still face Gulko and
Nunn, while Nunn also has deFirmian to contend with. Any of those players
could still wind up in first place when the event ends. While those men
battle for the championship, Friday sees the first ever confrontation between
Zsofia Polgar, who never plays in women's tournaments, and Xie Jun, the
Women's World Champion.
The players have enjoyed the full flavor of San Francisco, from its fine
dining, fine wines (contributed by Robert Mondavi Wineries) and microbrewery
beers and ales from a variety of local establishements, to the cultural and
touristic highlight. Depending on mood and inclination, the players could be
found on a boat trip around the Bay, cable car tours, the new Museum of
Modern art, San Francisco's famed shopping districts and even a Grateful Dead
Mardi Gras concert.
Pan-Pacific International
Report on Round 10, played Friday, March 3, 1995.
by Eric Schiller, Press Officer
All draws, some exciting, some not, some just long.
ROUND 10 03/03/95
-----------------
Korchnoi 1/2 Gulko
Nunn 1/2 DeFirmian
Christiansen 1/2 Browne
Ashley 1/2 Huebner
Xie Jun 1/2 Polgar
Browne 1/2 Xie Jun
Waitzkin 1/2 Tisdall
Standings after 10 rounds (one to go):
Korchnoi (SWZ) 7.5
Nunn (ENG) 7
Gulko (USA) 6.5
DeFirmian (USA) 6
Xie Jun (PRC) 5.5
Christiansen (USA) and Huebner (GER) 5
Browne (USA) 4
Tisdall (NOR), Polgar (HUN) and Waitzkin 3.5
Ashley (USA) 3
Not much to describe today. The long-anticipated Xie Jun vs, Polgar battle
saw Polgar equalize without difficulty, so Xie Jun bailed out with a draw.
Huebner tried to make progress by torturing Ashley in a queen and pawn
endgame, but Maurice hung tough and earned his half point. Korchnoi made some
early progress on the queenside, but Gulko defended well. The remaining
games were also concluded peacefully.
So Korchnoi is in control of the tournament with one round to go, but Nunn
has a chance to overtake him, since they face each other in the final round.
However that game ends, one of them must have at least 8 points, and that
leaves Gulko and deFirmian aiming for third place.

Last rounds in round-robin events normally have a few quick
draws but not here. Every one of the games was a long, hard
fought battle. John Nunn tried to mix things up as Black
against Viktor Korchnoi, needing a win to overtake the veteran.
Nunn got a nice game but had to settle for a draw. "He's a
resouceful guy", John remarked after the game. For Korchnoi one
of his greatest tournament victories in many years. At +5 in a
category 13 event Korchnoi enjoyed himself thoroughly in his
San Francisco debut.
Nunn was joined at 7.5 by United States Champion Boris Gulko,
who defeated Jonathan Tisdall, relegating the latter to a share
of last place. The ladies also suffered, Zsofia Polgar losing
to Walter Browne and Xie Jun dropping the point to Robert
Huebner. Maurice Ashley and Josh Waitzkin fared better,
splitting the point with Nick deFirmian and Larry Christiansen
respectively. Josh won the "battle of the IMs" with his four
points, while the others wound up on the floor. Still it was a
valuable experience for all the young players, and the result
was not far off the expected scores according to their ratings.
An overflow crowd packed the playing hall, following the play
on large-screen monitors using Chessmaster 4000 software to
display the games. International Master John Grefe provided
analysis of games in progress. They started arriving early to
see the final leg of the Chessmaster Youth Challenge, won by
Vinay Bhat (see separate posting). Those who could not come to
the event have been enjoying television news stories on the
events on KPIX (CBS) and KRON (NBC), with additional stories
about to appear on KGO (ABC) and Inside Out (Sportschannel),
which is scheduled to air on Wednesday (we'll post the time
when we get it). British readers followed daily reports in the
Times and Telegraph. But most of the world got their news right
here in rec.games.chess.
The 1995 Pan-Pacific International is sponsored by Mindscape, makers of
Chessmaster 4000, together with the Mechanics Institute. This event
celebrates the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Play
continues through March 4th.
Additional sponsors were Sutro & Co., Hypermodern Press,
American Chess Foundation, Bank of America, Dean Witter
Reynolds, Smith-Barney, Robert Mondavi Wineries.
Major personal financial contibutions were made by Robin
Williams (yes, that one!), Willie Brown (Speaker of the House
of the State of California), James Eade, Neil E. Falconer and
Mark Pinto. We are also grateful to Mervin Field, Vince
McCambridge, George McGough, Thomas O'Connell, Danny Olim and
Frank C. Ruys for further support, as well as to numerous
individuals who helped out with time, money and other
assistance.
George Koltanowski and Carolyn Withitt served as tournament
directors. Tom Dorsch was the assistant tournament director,
William C. Haines produced the daily bulletins, and I (Eric
Schiller) acted as Press Officer. Glenn Hendrickson of
Mindscape was on-site for much of the event and provided
valuable logistical support and helped out in many different
ways.
Mindscape (formerly Software Toolworks) is the maker of the
popular Chessmaster computer chess programs. Their sponsorship
of this event continues a long tradition of support
championship-level competitions in the United States. The
current version of their product, Chessmaster 4000, is being
used to display the games to the public, tied for first place
in the Chessmaster Youth Challenge which concluded Saturday,
just before the final round of the Pan-Pacific International. A
separate post will be devoted to that event, but the final
scores were Chessmaster 4000 and Vinay Bhat (4-2), Jennie
Frenklakh and Jordy Mont-Reynaud (2-4).
Games from the Final Round (Bulletin Editor William C. Haines)
will be posted a little later, together with the finish of the
Christiansen-Nunn game from round 4, which was finally
deciphered with the help of the players.
If enjoyed these reports, you might want to let the following people
know:
Chief Organizer Jim Eade (Jimeade@aol.com)
Chessmaster team from Mindscape (Cjustiniano@mindscape.com)
Carlos Justiniano will not only be grateful for the thanks, but you can
also tell him what features you would like to see included (or, heaven
forbid, excluded) in future editions of the Chessmaster program. Back
when they were known as Software Toolworks, they used to sponsor other
chess events, including several US Championships. Should they continue
to bring these wonderful tournaments to the chess community? If you think
so, let them know. And if there is anything else you'd like me to post
about, just drop me a line at chesswks@netcom.com!

9) Varsity Chess Match. 1995.
-----------------------------
First played 1873 in the City of London Chess Club.
Since 1953 the winning team has held a gold cup presented by Miss
Margeret Pugh. The only whitewash was by Cambridge in 1919. The
scores were levelled by Cambridge this year with
a convincing 6-2 win. Oxford 48 - Cambridge 48 17 drawn
matches. The venue was the RAC club in London. Bob Wade provided
the gamescores and results to me this morning for which I thank him.
(I forgot to ask the date, I am assuming yesterday, but certainly
this week.) I apologies for any inaccuracies but these are the
first faxes I have ever worked from.
The games are in board order with Matthew Turner winning for Cambridge
on board one with white and Oxford's Tim Chesters losing with white
on board two against Jonathan Parker. (and so on down the games listings.)

This position (nine moves into the adjournment) was analyzed at home by
Botvinnik with the help of Keres who as `an experienced study composer',
says Botvinnik, came up with the following solution to save the game:
81... Nc6!
82.Kg6 Ne7+!
83.Kg7 Here play deviates from analysis that went: 83.Kf7

More from `Botvinnik on the endgame' (see TWIC 21). Ewen McLaughlin
asked me about the endgame from the only encounter between Botvinnik
and Fischer (with a sprinkle of Kasparov in the analysis). Here it is.
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| o | | | | | | R | | Botvinnik-Fischer, Varna 1962
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | o | | | | | o | | W: Kf3,Rg7,p.f2,h4 (4)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | k | | | | B: Ke5,Ra1,p.a7,b6,g6 (5)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | + | Black to move
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | K | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | + | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| r | | | | | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
Here Black played 5...b5 and after surprising 52.h5! a draw was agreed
after additional ten or so moves. Sometimes later a war of analyses
started: what would happen if Black played the strongest 51...Kd4?
Both parties came to the following position:
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | Q |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| o | | | | | | | | Botvinnik-Fischer, Varna 1962
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | | Analysis
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | | W: Ke3,Qh8,Rh4,p.f2 (4)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | R | B: Ka3,Qd1,Rb1,p.a7 (4)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| k | | | | K | | | | White to move
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | + | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | r | | q | | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
Here, Fischer claimed a win after 67.Qf8+ Ka2 since `wK will be unable
to shelter from the fatal avalanche of checks'. On the other end of
the analysis line then 13 years old Gary Kasparov found an `elegant
drawing line'. What is it?
CHESS PROBLEMS, by Brian Stephenson
-----------------------------------
Last week I presented the following problem which was set in the
recent final of the British Chess Solving Championship. Only 5 of
the experts present got it right. The solution follows the diagram.
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | q | | | | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | B | | P | | r | F SALAZAR
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ The Problemist, 1969
| | | P | p | | | | N |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ White Ka3, Qg1, Ra5 f4, Bd2 d7,
| R | b | | p | k | | | | Nd4 h6, Pc6 e2 f2 f3 f7.
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ Black Ke5, Qb8, Rg2 h7, Bb5,
| | | | N | | R | | | Pd5 d6.
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| K | | | | | P | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | B | P | P | r | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | | | | Q | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
Mate in two
1.Bc3? (A) (2.Rf5 #) 1...Bd3 2.Se6 # (B) but 1...Rxf7!
1.Se6? (B) (2.Rf5 #) 1...Bd3 2.Bc3 # (A) but 1...Rxh6!
1.Qa1? (C) (2.Rf5 #) 1...Bd3 2.Sb3 # (D) but 1...Rg5!
1.Sb3! (D) (2.Rf5 #) 1...Bd3 2.Qa1 # (C) ...Rg5/Rxf7
2.Qxg5/Sxf7 #
There are 4 moves which threaten 2.Rf5 #, but only one of them
works. The refutations of those that don't are given above. In all
four phases of the problem (the tries each introduce one virtual phase,
while the actual key introduces the final phase, the real play) the
defence 1...Bd3 is met by a different mate, but in each case it is
a move that White has tried on move 1. Note the pattern shown by
these moves, indicated by letters in the solution. This
particular pattern is called Double Sequence Reversal, and is one
of the many such patterns that modern composers have been working
on over the last 30 years. In a lot of such problems the interest
is mainly with the pattern and the solver may not notice it at all
because the refutations to the tries may be so obvious that he/she
looks no further. However, this problem works very well as a
solving problem as the results of the BCSC show. Only 5 solvers got
it right and the rest gave one of the intentional tries! If you
thought the refutations were obvious, would you if you had three of
these to do in twenty minutes?
More traditional is the next diagram which is a mate in three.

White to play and mate in three
Only 6 of the finalists got this one totally right. How would you
do? Answer next week.
Last week I forgot to mention that entries to the British Chess
Solving Championship following the publicaton in TWIC of the
starter problem last week should mention that they saw it in TWIC.
There may be a prize for your editor Mark Crowther at stake!
