After a quiet week a couple of weeks ago there has been a picking up of
the number of events. December will be a very busy month and next week I
will be covering some of the events that are ongoing on my www page.
This was such a large issue I've decided to hold back some material to
next week.
A bumper issue of games. Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) European Club Cup
--------------------------
After the qualifiers throughout the World in recent months the finals of
the European Club Cup finally took place in Budapest over the weekend.
In itself I don't believe the event is that important, who remembers the
Champions of previous years? (Only perhaps the year that Bosnia won it
with Kasparov helping out on top board) It is usually an interesting
event in that many of the top players participate. The teams normally
split into the rich teams and those that genuinely represent the areas
that they come from. This year there seemed to be rather fewer outsiders
brought in to strengthen teams than normal.
The Yerevan team for instance was virtually their Olympiad side, Honved
had a good slice of the Hungarian team, the Petach Tivka seemed to
contain the majority of the Israeli team with the other Israeli side
containing the rest plus Korchnoi brought in to take care of top board
duties. The Russian teams comprised some of the stronger players not
drafted into some of the Western sides.
The pre-event favourites were probably Empor Berlin who had their top
boards very much strengthened by the addition of Shirov and Kramnik
(although they play Bundesliga for this team also I believe),
Tattrangaz Kazan from Russia which was strong all the way down, Borovo
Vukovar 91 with Bareev on top board were also strong, but would have
been even better if Gary Kasparov had arrived to play for them.
All this should have produced a nice competitive weekend with a share of
good games, shocks and competitive spirit. It never seems to work out
that way, and my general impression of the event is that it brings out
the worst in some people and that there are far more disputes in this
annual event than in the much larger Olympiad.
Willi Icklicki in his report on Chess Planet (http://www.chessweb.com/)
mentions fights, threatened withdrawal, actual withdrawal and attempts
to get the draw changed as being some of the action off the board. It
seems that some teams take the event rather too seriously, or perhaps
an opportunity for crude nationalism.
The second round provided the defining controversy. Six months ago the
Israeli Petach Tikva put in a request that their rounds not be
scheduled for the Jewish religious Sabbath. I'm not sure about the rest
of the team but I'm sure everyone in the chess world knows that playing
during this time is impossible for Yudasin. In fact I remember that this
problem has even happened before in this competition and that Kasparov
had to be brought in to make sure that the round went ahead. The Chief
Arbiter, Mr. Werner Stubenvoll of Austria forgot to tell the rest of
the teams of this request, which really calls into question his
competence given that this was always going to be the main problem of
this final part of the competition.
Anyhow the inevitable happened. They drew an intransigent Russian team
from Kazan who refused to play at 10am in the morning with no possible
compromise. Winning is everything in this competition it seems. The
Israeli team went out and stayed out refusing to play for the minor
placings. Whilst I have some sympathy at not wanting to play at 10am
this problem could and should have been resolved way before the event
started, and in the end a solution should have been possible. Especially
as this problem is a known one.
There were protests and threatened withdrawal from the Serbian Partizan
Belgrade before the third round after Borovo Vukovar 91 from Croatia won
they had alcohol fueled celebrations which lead to insults and a near
fight. The Russian teams also refused to play each other in the third
round initially, they tried to get the draw changed so that they
wouldn't meet. They were told to get on with it.
The chess!!
---------------
There has been some quite interesting chess. Korchnoi's two losses, to
Kramnik and Almasi are interesting. The wins and losses of Shirov and
Leko also.
The teams are supposed to play all the rounds. However the main event is
a knockout with at first 8 teams reaching first the Quarter Finals,
Semi's and Final. The rest of the teams playoff for the minor placings.
In the event of a tie the team with a win on the highest board goes
through.
Round 1 (1996.11.21)
Tattrangaz Kazan squeaked a narrow win against Yerevan a previous
winner. The rest of the favourites went through.
Tattrangaz Kazan (RUS) - Yerevan (ARM) 3.5-2.5
Honved Budapest (HUN) - Dresdner 1898 (GER) 2.0-4.0
Borovo Vukovar 91 (CRO)- Clichy (FRA) 3.0-3.0

Zalaegerszeg (HUN) - Novisibirsk (RUS) 2.5-3.5
Rochade Eupen (BEL) - Petach Tivka (ISR) 1.5-4.5
Round 2 (1996.11.22)
Shirov's shock loss on board two to Kozul and Kramnik's quiet draw on
board one took the main point scoring potential away from Empor Berlin.
Osijek went through on tie-break after winning on the highest board. As
mentioned above Tattrangaz Kazan got a walkover after the round was
scheduled during the Jewish Sabbath.
FM Osijek (CRO) - Empor Berlin (GER) 3.0-3.0

Vukovar play Tattrangaz Kazan in the finals of the event. Vukovar won
on board four as opposed to Osijek's win on board six. Wins on the
bottom two boards took Tattrangaz Kazan through to the final.

4) Tal Memorial, Moscow
---------------------
Mikhail Tal would have been 60 earlier this month. One of my all time
favourite chess players, I was upset when he died on the eve of the
1992 Olympiad. The Latvian genius was well known for his love of
blitz chess and his last event was a blitz get-together in Moscow
before the Russian team set off to play in the Olympiad. He didn't
win the event, he was already terminally ill, but he did beat Kasparov.
(I would love to see that game) Tal was the World Blitz Champion after
winning an event in 1988 and he was known to play all-comers between
rounds at speed chess.
It was entirely appropriate that his 60th birthday should be celebrated
with a blitz tournament. (Well it was either that or a party. My favourite
Tal story was when he talked about Mikhail Gorbachov's anti-alcohol
policy. "They says its the State vs Alcohol. I'll play for the alcohol team.")
Anyhow an all-play-all invitational blitz tournament was held.

5) Campeonatos Mundiales Juveniles de Ajedrez.
-----------------------------------------------
Emil Sutovskij and Zhu Chen were the male and female champions at the
end of two strong under-20s events in Medellin, Colombia 9th-22nd
November. This very strong Junior event has some of the very best young
players competing. There were 13 rounds altogether.
Osvaldo Orozco Mendez points out from last week that the unrated Sonia
Gonzalez was playing in the women's section, I picked up the only S
Gonzalez in the rating list who is a different player.
The event was being covered at http://200.25.40.42/medchess/ on the
internet.
I've corrected some of the spellings of the players names in the light of
getting the ratings of the players. twic106j has been changed accordingly
and the entire section is in the ChessBase section.

* Official results gave the last round game as a draw whilst the games section gave it as a 16 move
win for Aksiuczyc. It seems most likely that the results section is wrong at that the scoresheet
was misread as a normal last round draw 1/2 instead of the 1-0 which the game suggests.
6) World Senior Championships in Bad Liebenzell Germany
----------------------------------------------------
World Senior Championships in Bad Liebenzell ran from the 10th-24th of
November.
The event was a closely contested one and was eventually won by Alexey
Suetin of Russia on tie-break from Anatoly Lein of the United States
and Janis Klovans of Latvia. Before the last round the lone leader was
Wolfgang Uhlmann. He played black against Alexei Suetin in the last
round. In trouble throughout the game Uhlmann at least seemed to have
given himself reasonable drawing chances towards the end. He played a
move leaving his Queen en-prise which would however allow him to give
mate. When Suetin took away the mate threat Uhlmann didn't move or
protect his Queen and so Suetin took it the following move!
Valentina Kozlovskaya finished first and Tamari Khmiadashvili second in
a hard fought battle for the Women's title.

11) Chess News from Israel by Ram Soffer.
-------------------------------------
Ram Soffer sends news of the 7th ASA International Tournament, a
category 8 event which was held in the Tel-Aviv University Chess
Club on 16-26 September. ASA stands for Academic Sport Association.
The tournament director, Mr. Abraham Dorner, was also responsible for
inputting the games.
The tournament was won jointly by IM Dov Zifroni (20) from Herzliya
and IM Boris Kanstler of Kyrgizstan, who has been living in Israel
since 1994. [Jonathan Berry points out that the name should be Kantsler
but the is mis-spelled in the rating list. I usually try and stick
to the ELO list spelling even if wrong! MC.]
Both were however 1 point short of a GM-norm. GM Eran Liss finished
third. Maxim Uritzky from Haifa clinched his third and final IM-norm
after a win in the last round.
In the Israel championship one month later he made another
norm. Earlier this year he won the 5-round Kfar-Sava open with a perfect
score ahead of B. Alterman, A. Greenfeld and more GMs.
