My thanks to Duif Calvin, Matt Guthrie, Gerald Schendel, Przemek Jahr, net64, ChessAssistant,Iivo Nei and all those who helped out with this issue.
Chess took a back seat in the preparation of this issue. The issue of copyright of games has become an issue. It is an issue about which I cannot be seen to be disinterested. I started on the internet to get hold of top class chess news and results, the internet having the (now realised) potential of avoiding the scant newspaper coverage and delays of chess magazines. I believe copyright of chess games could put this situation back quite a few years. After long thought I hope I have produced a reasonable account of the situation. There are a number of stories and events which have been held over until next week because of this.
Hope you enjoy this issue

As referred to last week there is a clause in the FIDE regulations for the World Championships which states "The players' score sheets are the property of the players and FIDE, and FIDE has exclusive rights to publication". This is a very vague statement the meaning of which was somewhat unclear. Egon Ditt brought it to the attention of people on the compuserve chess forum and it has provoked heated debate, not least from me. Egon Ditt confirmed the purpose behind it "Perhaps the wording is not good, but the intention is clear and I can confirm it. I have been present at the Cairo Executive Council Meeting 14./15.6.1997 and I have the minutes. The intention is to get the artistic right of the players by contract and to manage and to sell this right." Willy Iclicki (a director of the event but not a FIDE official) also confirmed that there was at least the possibility dependant upon legal advice. My reply in tone was probably not the most temperate but perhaps blaming the messanger is not very productive. Indeed as a person who would be most clearly affected by this potential challenge to the status quo (I run a magazine on zero budget only my own effort) I think objectivity is very difficult. Nevertheless I will try. First of all there is a very clear point (see Duif Calvin below) there is a strong legal precident to say that games are not copyright, FIDE's attitude if anything like the impression gained by reading the posts of Ditt and Iclicki is that this can be challenged. Their position is clear to me, FIDE and by proxy others who want to change the legal understanding of at least half a centuary will try to overturn a position which was well understood. Gamescores are not copyright. If you believe gamescores are not copyright, based on years of precident (which includes some challenges lost in Germany and the Netherlands) you are faced with a difficult decision. In fact those who publish games now without payment may be in breach of copyright, one thing I clearly understand is that with or without claim material which is copyright is protected. It could be that this will be retrospective. If the legal postion changes then games played since the current international copyright understandings were put in place would be protected. Does one proceed or challenge? The law will not change because FIDE wishes it to be so, only because a legal case says it is so (this may need to be confirmed country by country aswell). The fact that FIDE may take the decision to take the copyright law to court would place many in an impossible position. I believe that their chances are only 20% of winning the first case, and that because they have a better lawyer. Whether they should be taking this stance is not a decision they appear prepared to put to the Federations either. The situation is further muddied by the involvement of New in Chess and ChessBase. According to Willy Iclicki "As far that I know FIDE has no intention to go commercial to sell books and disks but they will sell the right to another party. The organiser committe may also sell a daily bulletin like in other tournament. NIC and Chessbase will also be concerned with the copyright of this championship" It would be wrong to imply that these companies necessarily would be prepared to challenge the law, but it would be interesting to know their attitudes. New in Chess could be described as the home of the now defunct GMA. The GMA were in favour of copyright but could not find sufficient grounds when they investigated it in the 1980's, does New in Chess have this hope? ChessBase have a clear attitude that once they have done hard work on a file of games then they claim copyright on that. At the very least one would have to be circumspect about publishing all games from the Championships, at least until the later stages of the championships when the work could definitely be described as trivial. I intend, unless I receive very strong advice to the contrary to publish games from the FIDE Championships and defy any fees demanded. Court cases are not nice at all and if it happens I would use all defences available. I hope it will not come to that.
There is a wider question as to whether it would be a "good thing" for chess games to be copyright. I do not believe it would. I would not expect very much of the potential money to end up in players pockets. It is also hard enough to get the mainstream media to cover events and chess magazines seem more a labour of love rather than a get rich quick scheme. Indeed I'm sure active players know how indifferent many players are to following top class chess. The result would likely be to see casual followers of top class chess turn away. Chess players also build on the past, indeed how much creativity goes into an average game of chess would be an interesting question. The first 20 moves of a game are often either direct copies of the past or close copies. It would be interesting to know the opinions of top grandmasters as to the question of copyright, for it is in their name any action would be taken.
Willy Iclicki promises to interview GS Tabbanne about the issue of copyright in the very near future. We need to await an official statement, and it should follow quickly.
In seeking a clear I view I saw one article which was of great interest. Duif Calvin explains in the most clear manner the copyright law as I understand it. Whilst not an attorney she is a professional author and has followed the issues of intellectual property quite closely. My thanks to her for allowing me to adapt a usenet posting on the subject for use here.
She says
"It is no longer necessary to put ANY indication on a work to preserve copyright--copyright exists at the moment that the work is created and fixed in a tangible medium (including stored on disk).
However, you must register the copyright prior to filing a lawsuit. But you still own the rights from the time of creation.
My understanding on chess scores is that they are literally regarded the same as the "box score" to a sporting event-- a physical record of an event that took place. Box scores have been addressed in US and British copyright law many times. They simply can't be copyrighted. However, the Motorola case last year (which was reversed on appeal) has introduced the concept of the "time value" of events during the time of broadcast. Motorola lost the original case to the NBA (when the NBA attempted to restrict the reporting of scores during an event as being damaging to their commercial interests)--but although much less widely-reported than the original opinion, Motorola WON the case on appeal, the court relying on traditional understanding of what a box score is.
In the case of a chess game, it becomes similar to a sporting event when (the classic example used with other sports copyrights) "3 reporters sitting on three sides of the room would make exactly the same record of the event."
The player plays Nc3. That is, indeed, a creative moment, just as a batter hitting a ball out of the park is individually in control. But the _record_ of that event, the writing down of 1R (or in our case, Nc3) would meet the "historical record" test.
The question, of course, is why is that any different than 3 musicians sitting on three sides of a room and writing down the score of a song being performed?
And the answer, simply, is that law is NOT logical. It is political. It is built on a case by case, vote by vote, precedent by precedent structure. Artists have extended copyright protection. Athletes do not.
If chess is defined as an art, than the argument that the creation is in deciding what move to make, and that should extend to the records made. However, when chess is defined as a _sport_, then the law looks at those records differently.
It is interesting that at the exact same time that FIDE is promoting a definition of chess as a sport, and has official press releases and reports filled with information supporting that definition, the issues regarding copyright as they apply to NON-sports is also coming up. But there may not be a conflict: as the Motorola case showed, many commercial sports leagues are now trying redefine these copyright issues in our high-tech world.
Many people are now reconsidering the issues of the time value of sports records and judges are showing a willingness to hear the arguments, even if they're still ultimately ruling in the other direction.
There are a number of very helpful intellectual property resources on the Web. One of the most popular (and which will address the first set of issues raised, whether a copyright symbol is required) is Brad Templeton's THE TEN

Matt Guthrie reports that the 1997 US Men's and Women's Championships begin August 23rd at the San Marcos Hotel in Chandler, Arizona. The Women's Championship is a ten player round robin, but for the Men's, a slightly original format is being used:
The field is split into two groups of eight, each of which plays a round robin. The top two players from each group the advance, with the winner of each group playing a four game match against the runner-up of the other.
The winners of these matches then play a six game match for the title.
Round 1 of the US Championships was a relatively quiet affair, with only Nick DeFirmian able to score a full point, after his game with Dimitry Gurevich exploded tactically in mutual time pressure. (And yes, Nick could have played 42...Nc4+, but he was unaware he had already made time control.) Among the drawn games, Zamora's original treatment of the Najdorf (6.Bd3!?) deserves attention, as does Schwartzman's interesting Q sac. (41.Qxe6!?) Shabalov was probably a little disappointed, as he was unable to convert an extra pawn into a full point against Dzindzhi.
On the Women's side, defending champ Belakovskaia won from a clearly inferior position against Shahade, and Khan powerfully dismantled Frenklakh's Benko.
Notes on Round 2: Browne-Fedorowicz was a well played draw in which Walter stated afterwards that he felt a little unlucky not to have won, but that John had defended well. Benjamin won nicely against Ivanov from a Spanish which rapidly took on charecteristics of a Sicilian Sveshnikov. Defending champ Yermolinsky was nicely outplayed by Christiansen, Gulko outplayed Zamora in a time scramble, and Shabalov neatly refuted Schwartzman's sacrificial play. Of the other draws, it is noteworthy that although Seirawn and DeFirmian made only 12 moves, it took them 2.5 hrs to do so.
In the women's tournament, young Irina Krush nicely upended defending champ Belakovskaia. Annotations of this game by the winner will be available on the USCF web site.
