Lots of news and games as many countries are holding their National Championships. This time next week will be the Las Palmas Tournament. Hope you enjoy this issue Mark 2) European Club Cup Finals 21-24 November 1996 -------------------------------------------- The Russian team Tattrangaz Kazan beat the Croatian team Borovo Bukovar in the European Club Cup. However this bad tempered nationalistic competition will surely have to change radically before it is re-run next year. The question of regulations over religious observance needs to be addressed directly. The event itself only had a few interesting games, including all four involving Korchnoi were worthy of interest. Stars included Kramnik (one interesting game against Korchnoi) Shirov (couple of nice wins and a loss), Leko (just one win), Dreev (one win against Vaganian), Bareev (one win 3 draws), Khalifman (four draws), the bigger Russian names seemed to be content to draw most of their games. The event needed players Kasparov, Karpov, Salov, Anand etc all of whom have played the event before. The two biggest names (Kramnik and Shirov) played for the same team this time. The final between Kazan of Russia and Vukovar of Croatia was pretty dull. Two very short draws on the top two boards, Kharlov-Hulak was the only decisive game, Hulak's position collapsed like a pack of cards at the end but he surely wasn't in that much trouble out of the opening. The other three games were also drawn. The German team Empor Berlin smashed their final round opponents to show what might have been if they hadn't carelessly been eliminated in round two. Kramnik did not play the last two rounds. Drastic finishes included Kharlov-Hulak (4), Boensch-Maiwald (4), Kalantarian-Horvath (3).

Info from Laszlo Nagy organiser of the FIRST SATURDAY Budapest tournaments E-Mail - 100263.1700@compuserve.com The Israeli Chess Federation issued sent a letter to FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov dated November 29 1996 signed by Joseph T. Lapid and Almog Burstein. Dear Mr. Iljumzhinov, We strongly protest the completely unacceptable behaviour of the Chief Arbiter of the European Club Cup Finals in Budapest, Mr. Werner Stubenwall, who decided to reject the request (six months old!!) of our national team champion, Elitzur Petach-Tikva, to avoid play during the Sabbath (from Friday's sunset through Saturday's sunset). Our representatives informed Mr. Stubenwall (before going to Budapest!) that their participation was conditioned on acceptance of not playing on the Sabbath, as they are an orthodox team. Mr. Stubenwall replied that he was sorry that he had forgotten to advise the other teams about this condition, but confirmed that our problem would be solved in any case, as was the case in Bulgaria, where we played the preliminaries, and as it was in Yerevan, where the Armenian men's team and the Romanian women's team agreed to postpone their games against Israel on the holy day of Yom Kippur. True, the Russian team of Kazan refused to play our team at 10.00 a.m. instead of 2.00. They even refused to play at 12.00 (we were ready to play the match using 1 hour instead of 3!). But, Mr. Stubenwall could and should have let our people play. The hour 2.00 p.m. is not sacred. It is even not a part of the FIDE Laws of Chess, that, on the contrary, respects religious and physical constraints. It is accepted norm today, in the entire civilised world, to allow minorities to observe their religious practises, particularly when, as in this case, they don't materially interfere with the way other people conduct their affairs. We ask you kindly, Mr.President, to make sure that such un sporting behaviour will never happen again in FIDE competitions, and that Mr. Stubenwall shall be removed from his office as Director of the European Club Cup. He certainly shall not officiate in any event that Israeli players in general and orthodox Jews in particular take place. We would also appreciate if you issued a strong statement condemning such behaviour and assuring all FIDE members, that their human rights will be fully respected. Sincerely Yours, Joseph T. Lapid and Almog Burstein 3) Lautier vs Piket in Monaco ------------------------------ Match drawn between Joel Lautier and Jeroen Piket, Monaco.

They were won by Bruno Belotti an Italian IM rated 2400 with 6.5 from Renzo Mantovani on 6 points. Pre-tournament favourite Michele Godena was third. The 23rd National Women's Championships finished in a tie between A Riegler and V Goi. I believe Riegler got the title on a tie-break. The www site covering the event was http://www.omeganet.it/scacchi and thanks to Massimiliano Orsi for sending the games. It is uncertain whether Isonzo-Bellini (round 3) and Godena-Tatai (Round 7) are complete after the adjournment. Mantova ITA (ITA), XI-XII 1996. cat.

Information from Christophe Bouton. ------------------------------------------------- Disney Invites Young Chess Stars to the Mickey for Kids World Rapid Chess Championship, December 12 to 14, 1996 at Disneyland Paris More than 50 Countries Represented at Event, under the Patronage of the French and World Chess Federations and UNESCO Paris, November 21, 1996 D For the fourth consecutive year, Disney Consumer Products, Europe/Middle East & Africa organizes a youth rapid chess championship at Disneyland Paris from December 12 to 14, under the official patronage of the French Chess Federation (FFE), the World Chess Federation (FIDE) and UNESCO. The event, international since 1995, brings together the brightest young chess talents from 51 countries in a nine-round tournament from which four winners emerge. All participants are champions of local chess tournaments held under the auspices of the FIDE. They meet at Disneyland Paris for two days of exciting rounds, pitting the world's top young players against one another in four categories: boys and girls under 12, and boys and girls aged 12 to 14. Anatoly Karpov, World Chess Champion and European Rapid Chess Champion will preside over the Awards ceremony. Renamed the Mickey for Kids World Rapid Chess Championship, the event is an evolution of Disney's first European championship of 1993. Since then, the tournament has gained increasing recognition from world chess federations, and attracts players from all five continents. The new name (formerly Disney's Rapid Chess World Championship) reflects an association with Disney's new Mickey for Kids brand of licensed products, which is all about fun and stimulating the imagination. The Mickey for Kids World Rapid Chess Championship underscores Disney's commitment to learning through fun. Like the annual Children's Summit, organized in cooperation with UNESCO, it is evidence of Disney's ongoing preoccupation with activities that contribute to the overall development of children. Chess fans can follow the Mickey for Kids World Rapid Chess Championship on the Internet, complete with photos, beginning December.
