Pettersson, Jon Speelman, John Henderson, Rod McShane and all those who helped
with this issue.
Nothing fancy or complicated this week. The US Championships was the top
event, Kasparov visited London to talk about his match against the World and an
eight year old English player called David Howell beat John Nunn in a blitz
game.
Hope you enjoy this issue
Mark
The Interplay US Championships 1999 started August 23rd in Salt Lake City.
As last year the event consists of two round robin events followed by a
knockout between the top two players in each group. The event has reached the
semi-final stage. Gulko is playing Seirawan and Yermolinsky is playing Serper.
The four game semi-finals finished level after four games. Gulko won the first
game and Seirawan the second in their match, all other games were drawn.
(Seirawan claims he missed a win in game four of his match with (22.Qh4 Nxd5
23.Bxd5+ Bxd5 24.Re7+-) instead of 22. Qg5). Playoffs (g/25) are tonight Monday
6th. Earlier Seirawan won a three player playoff for the final position in the
semi-finals from the group B preliminaries. Belakovskaia won the Women's
Championships.

The main chess event at the 3rd Mind Sports Olympiad saw a three way tie for
first. Alexander Baburin (IRL), Lev Psakhis (ISR) and Jon Speelman (ENG) all
finished on 7/9. Speelman won a vital final round game against Baburin to force
the tie. 10 year old Murugan Thiruchelvam scored 50% (2317) in the event for a
record performance for his age. However the headlines were taken by 8 year old
(8 years and 8 months) David Howell who won his first round game in the MSO
blitz event against GM John Nunn. Howell is one of the brightest young talents
England has produced, he also beat Harriet Hunt at the recent Scarborough
rapidplay event, he is currently playing in the European under-10 event in
Greece. He appeared on many TV and radio programs following his defeat of Nunn
aswell as most of the English newspapers.
There were an astonishing number of blitz events (5 and 10 minute events
with increments) with players such as Nunn, Hodgson, Norwood and Adams winning.
Nunn also took the problem solving.
My thanks to Rod McShane for the games and Jon Speelman for his final round
game. There is further information at: http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/ .

a press conference held yesterday at one of London's exclusive private members
club, Home House, Kasparov and Microsoft officials announced that the match had
caught the imagination of the world with unprecedented "hits" on
Microsoft's gaming zone. Since June 21, when the match started, the MSN.COM
site has received more than 15 million page views, and "Kasparov vs. The
World" is now rated the largest interactive competition in history - even
surpassing the previous record of hits, ironically held by a previous chess
match, the infamous 1997 meeting between Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue.
With chess fans of all skills and levels from more than 79 countries
joining up to become members of the World Team, Kasparov admitted that
collectively they had caused him to have a few sleepless nights. "I have
spent more time analysing this game than I have any other during my reign as
world champion," he said. "This experiment on MSN.COM proves that
collaboration over the Internet can raise the quality of play remarkably.
Throughout the match, the World Team has consistently performed at a level that
far surpasses what you would expect from anyone rated less than a
grandmaster."
Kasparov revealed that he had spent over 100 hours analysing the position
to date and, while he believes he's not losing, on the other hand, even he's
not all that sure yet if he's winning! Whilst at the beginning of the match
everyone simply assumed that Kasparov was going to win, this game has by no
means been an easy ride for the world champion, and even at this late stage of
the game, the outcome is still unclear.
The match suddenly came to life when "The World", prompted by one
of their four young coaches for the match, the 15-year-old American, Irina
Krush, hit the world champion with the speculative theoretical novelty
10..Qe6!? From then on, the world champion admitted that the game got steered
into murky waters of which no computer could work out as the ramifications went
way beyond their "horizon" threshold.
