Martini for their help in this issue. A slightly quieter week with the rather crazy Cap D'Agde Tournament in France and the Russian Chess Championships in Elista sharing top billing. Hope you enjoy this issue. Mark 2) Cap D'Agde Tournament in France. ------------------------------------------ CCAS sponsored the European Rapidplay Championships. The event with a first prize of 100,000 French Francs and attracted many of the World's best players. Anatoly Karpov won the European Rapid Chess Championships, Cap D'Age France. He did so after a poor performance in Tilburg where he only managed to scramble to 50% in the last round. With that event and this event in France being so close together one would have thought that Karpov would have taken a welcome rest. However this is not Karpov's way, he travelled from Tilburg to Skopje to give an exhibition and then try to get back to France on Sunday for the start of his involvement in the tournament on Monday by using the extra hour due to the change from Summer time in Europe. This he failed to do only arriving in France three hours before the start of play on Monday. He managed to get through that first day with a win and a loss and then went on to play some very solid chess throughout the event. He should have lost the second game of the final against Van Wely but somehow survived which broke the Dutchman's will and he lost the two tie-break games quite badly. He has however proved that he is in excellent form. Lots of errors as might be expected in rapidplay chess but some quite interesting tussles took place. The tournament was one of the most bizarrely constructed events I have ever seen. 20 players started the event and they were divided into four qualifying leagues. These leagues were all-play-all's and each game was at the time-rate of 30 minutes per player with the addition of 20 seconds for each move played. The first and second placed players in each group went forward to an 8 player knockout stage. The remaining players played in a continuing league system. Third placed players played in one group, fourth placed in another group and fifth placed in another. Hence there was a need to establish the exact finishing positions of every player with playoff matches for even the minor positions in the event of a tie. These playoff games were played at 3 minutes per game with an additional 2 seconds per move played. Below are the results of the preliminary groups. Only one playoff match had special significance as far as qualifying for the main Championships, Smirin and Adams played off for second place. Other matches were for less important positions. Qualifiers were Karpov, Hracek, Gelfand, Van Wely, Akopian, Hansen, Lautier and Smirin..

He played solid if not especially spectacular chess to record his best result in recent years. Alexey Dreev who lead after 7 rounds drew out the rest of the event and was overhauled in the end. The last round saw brief draws in the top pairings, Dvoirys-Khalifman and Dreev-Fominyh but the players who needed wins seemed content simply to protect their standings. The prizemoney was excellent being around $100,000 and a car coutesy of Kalmykian and FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov, he has held the Russian Championships in his capital Elista for the last three years. Some of the most impressive chess came from Evgeny Sveshnikov but he completely self-destructed in the last few rounds losing his last three games. Dolmatov, Epishin and Tiviakov were all well off the pace.

With 5 wins and 4 draws Tony Miles was overtaken in the last round by Miso Cebalo, (Croatia, Elo 2515, 6 wins and 3 draws). Also Alexander Zlochevsky (GM from Moskow) was undefeated. All the players enjoyed a very warm and sunny week, before enter in the grey metropolitan winter. This was also the first chess tournament in Italy with a daily and professional coverage in Internet (htpp://www.vol.it/tebaide/festival) where cross tables and games (.cbf format) are available. For the next year the organizers are planning a stronger event, in the same season, or maybe in spring. 1st Nazionale (6 players) Mosna Alessandro 7 (8) 2nd Nazionale (22 players) Carbone Marcello 5,5 (8) Capata Giovanni S. 5,5 Antoniacci Riccardo 5,5 Ventura Paolo 5,5 3rd Nazionale (10 players) Fontanari Maurizio 7,5 (8) Esordienti (9 players) Garbelli Angelo 6,5 (8) Toscolano ITA (ITA), X 1996. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Cebalo, Miso g CRO 2515 +19 +17 = 3 = 2 = 5 +10 + 4 +14 + 8 7.5 /9 2631 2 Miles, Anthony J g ENG 2630 +15 = 9 +27 = 1 = 4 + 6 + 7 +11 = 3 7.0 /9 2563 3 Zlochevskij, Alexander g RUS 2415 +13 +20 = 1 = 6 = 9 = 4 =11 + 7 = 2 6.0 /9 2483 4 Sulava, Nenad m CRO 2430 +26 +11 +21 = 5 = 2 = 3 - 1 + 6 =10 6.0 /9 2492 5 Naumkin, Igor g RUS 2430 +28 +27 + 6 = 4 = 1 - 7 = 9 =10 +17 6.0 /9 2465 6 Nurkic, Sahbaz m BIH 2405 +18 +14 - 5 = 3 + 8 - 2 +15 - 4 +20 5.5 /9 2390 7 Sedina, Elena wm UKR 2345 -21 +30 +19 +15 =11 + 5 - 2 - 3 +14 5.5 /9 2347 8 Corvi, Marco ITA 2185 =12 =31 =16 +13 - 6 +18 +21 + 9 - 1 5.5 /9 2304 9 Drei, Andrea f ITA 2310 +23 = 2 =10 +21 = 3 =14 = 5 - 8 =12 5.0 /9 2351 10 Wohl, Aleksandar H m AUS 2400 =31 =12 = 9 +20 +18 - 1 =14 = 5 = 4 5.0 /9 2333 11 Medancic, Rikard m CRO 2310 +16 - 4 +28 =12 = 7 +22 = 3 - 2 =19 5.0 /9 2311 12 Braghetta,S ---- = 8 =10 +30 =11 -14 -13 +28 +15 = 9 5.0 /9 2231 13 Rossi, Giampiero ITA 2105 - 3 =32 +26 - 8 +29 +12 -17 =18 +21 5.0 /9 2216 14 Cugini, Werter ITA 2255 +24 - 6 =31 +16 +12 = 9 =10 - 1 - 7 4.5 /9 2228 15 Lagrotteria, Salvatore ITA 2165 - 2 +23 +17 - 7 =21 +16 - 6 -12 +24 4.5 /9 2289 16 Oppici, Gabriele ITA 2055 -11 +26 = 8 -14 +25 -15 =19 =21 +27 4.5 /9 2170 17 Mora, Federico ITA 2335 +25 - 1 -15 +31 -22 +23 +13 =20 - 5 4.5 /9 2182 18 Stantic, Severino ITA 2105 - 6 +24 =20 +29 -10 - 8 +27 =13 =23 4.5 /9 2207 19 Kievelitz, Bernd GER 2145 - 1 +25 - 7 =28 +31 -21 =16 +22 =11 4.5 /9 2178 20 Luciani, Valerio ITA 2180 +32 - 3 =18 -10 =23 +30 +22 =17 - 6 4.5 /9 2145 21 Agnelli, Francesco ITA 2085 + 7 +29 - 4 - 9 =15 +19 - 8 =16 -13 4.0 /9 2180 22 Duarte, Riccardo ITA 2005 -* -28 +25 +27 +17 -11 -20 -19 +29 4.0 /9 2205 23 Magrin, Antonio ITA 2070 - 9 -15 =24 +32 =20 -17 =29 +26 =18 4.0 /9 2104 24 Tomasi, Diego ITA 2045 -14 -18 =23 -30 =27 =26 +32 +28 -15 3.5 /9 2045 25 Perich, Stefano ITA 2075 -17 -19 -22 +26 -16 =32 +31 =29 =28 3.5 /9 2056 26 Astengo, Marcello ITA 2115 - 4 -16 -13 -25 +32 =24 +30 -23 +31 3.5 /9 1895 27 Bini, Lorenzo ITA 2200 +* - 5 - 2 -22 =24 +31 -18 +30 -16 3.5 /9 1965 28 Prelati, Maurizio ITA 2120 - 5 +22 -11 =19 =30 =29 -12 -24 =25 3.0 /9 2081 29 Kania, Andreas GER 2275 =30 -21 +32 -18 -13 =28 =23 =25 -22 3.0 /9 1850 30 Perovic,B ---- =29 - 7 -12 +24 =28 -20 -26 -27 +32 3.0 /9 2024 31 Di Lazzaro, Gabriele ITA 2095 =10 = 8 =14 -17 -19 -27 -25 +32 -26 2.5 /9 1962 32 Dusi,V ---- -20 =13 -29 -23 -26 =25 -24 -31 -30 1.0 /9 1798 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) XII World Youth Chess Festival Cala Galdana Menorca in the Balearic Islands is the venue of the World Youth Chess Festival between 20th October and the 3rd November 1996. This FIDE event is endorsed by the United Nations and is an annual event. The competition has under 10,12,14,16 and 18 sections for both boys and girls. It will produce 10 Champions altogether. The events are 11 round Swiss events. The leaders of these events are not guaranteed to go on to be professional players but this year there were quite a number of quite well known figures playing in the tournaments. Probably the most interesting event was the Boys under 14 event with Etienne Bacrot as its star. He had a very good Olympiad and has recently beaten ex-World Champion Vassily Smyslov 5-1 in a match. Did he win? No in fact he came 5th a point and a half behind the winner after losing to him in last round game. He was level with Ganguly who beat a strong GM last year in India. The winner was Gabriel Sargissian who beat Ganguly and Bacrot on the way to the title. Azerbaijan and India seem to have quite strong junior programs in train, and China also has a few high profile names but not as many as might have been expected given their interest in chess. Alek Gershon won the under 16 section above a number of more highly rated players after winning an extremely odd game in the last round. The under-18 section Rafael Leitao from Brazil took the under 18 section. The games section has a selection of games from the top players.
