1) An interesting week in Wijk aan Zee is the highlight of this issue. My thanks
to Wlodek Proskurowski and Michael Niermann for their contributions and to
Otto Borik for help with detail from the Wijk aan Zee event. The biggest news
of the week is that Linares is on, and after being all but confirmed Dortmund
is off as a venue for the PCA.
Mark Crowther.
2) 57th HOOGOVENS TOURNAMENT. Wijk ann Zee.
--------------------------------------------
This year's event follows the format of recent years with a
32 player knockout alongside an Open Tournament. When a player
is eliminated from the knockout he is assigned a score for
the open and continues to play in that event.
The mini-matches are of the following format.
Two standard timerate games (40 moves in 2 hours followed by 20 in 1 followed
by a half hour blitz finish.)
In the event of a tied match then a mini-match of two 30 minute per side
games is played, followed by as many 15 minute sudden death games as
is needed to provide a winner.
Please note that last week I got the year wrong in the games section.
(Now corrected at my www site.)

3) Heinrich Jellissen.
----------------------
On the 19th of December 1994 Heinrich Jellissen died of a heart attack
at the age of 54. He was one of the most significant promoters of chess
in the World. In particular he was responsable for many of the
chess events that took place in Munich. He was also involved in
introducing events sponsored by Credit Suisse and Hegener and
Glaser AG's. The future of these events, and others, even this year
must be put severely in doubt. He is a great loss to chess.
4) Rilton Cup - Stockholm
-----------------------
The top finishers in this open event were:
1. M.Krasenkov 7.5
2.= J.Gleiserov, J.Agrest, A.Orstein, M.Taimanov, 7
L.Brynell, L.Degerman
8.= T.Ernst, P.Cramling, L.Couso, B.Ahlander, C.Hartman 6.5
J. Furhoff, T.Wedberg, R.Astrom, L.Sandstrom,
T.Hillarp
5) Christmas Open in Zurich
-------------------------
72 players. Top finishers were:
1.= V.Tukmakov, N.Kelecevic 6
2. O.Cvitan 5.5
3.= I.Rogers, M.Mikavica, J.Gallagher, D.Pavasovic, 5
O.Sutter, R.Ekstrom, D.Knodler.
11.= M.Ballmann, M.Hochstrasser, F.Maeser 4.5
19 players tied on 4. RGCers may recognise the last players
name on 4.5 points!
6) Linares 1995 Category 18.
--------------------------
Linares GM Tournament - Feb. 28th - Mar. 18th
Contrary to what appeared in TWIC 15 Linares is on again.
Here is the fullest list I have.
Karpov, Kasparov, Shirov, Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Short, Adams, Judit
Polgar, Bareev, Lautier, Illescas Cordoba, Yusupov, Topolov
Note I only have 13 names so there will be one further competitor.
7) PCA World Championship Match in Dortmund falls through.
--------------------------------------------------------
The City of Dortmund will not host the PCA-Worldchampionship between Gary
Kasparov and Gata Kamsky or Vishy Anand in September/October 1995, a
spokesman for the city announced yesterday. Negotiations between the city and
the PCA were at a very advanced stage but finally the PCA failed to
sign a contract in time.
It is rumoured (and this is so extraordinary that I would need some
pursuading that it is true) that PCA asked for a provision in the contract
to enable them cancel the event up to 6 weeks before the start, a provision
which Dortmund obviously could not accept because of the money
that would be required to be invested by that late stage.
It is said the PCA are still looking for German sponsors as they
have promises of very good TV coverage. One imagines the PCA
are still looking for the dates around Sep. 10th - Oct. 14th
for any new venue.
8) St Peter's de Beauvoir - 4 Nations Chess League Tournament - London.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Ben Martin (New Zealand) 6/9
2. Whiteley 5.5
3. Dunworth, Harley, McDonald, Olesen (Denmark) 5
7. Fatin (Egypt) 4.5
8. Pigott 3.5
9. Carton (Ireland) 3
10. McFarland 2.5
9) Gausdal Troll Masters
----------------------
Scanty information about this ongoing tournament. I believe
Rogers leads and Kinsman is second.
1. Ian Rogers
2. Andrew Kinsman 4.5/6
10) Linares OPEN Tournament 1995.
-----------------------------
This strong open tournament in Spain was won by Johann Hjartarsson with
8/9. Matthew Sadler of England was 3rd equal.

Solution.
It is easy to win the d-pawn: 1.Kf5 Kb6 2.Ke5 Kc7! 3.K:d5, although after
3...Kd7 4.Kc5 Kc7 it becomes clear that Black draws as wK cannot reach
the b5 square. To win then White needs first to annihilate the pawn a6.
The only way to do so leads via the improbable a8 sqare.
Knowing that the rest is relatively easy.
1.Kf5! White must be careful to maintain the opposition,
1.Kf6? Kb6! draws.
Kb6
2.Kf6! Kb7
3.Kf7 Kb8 Of no help is 3...Kb6 4.Ke8 Kc6 5.Kd8 Kd6 6.Kc8 etc.
4.Ke6 Kc7
5.Ke7 Kc6
6.Kd8 Kd6
7.Kc8 Kc6
8.Kb8 Kb6
9.Ka8! wins
