1) Introduction

My thanks to Otto Borik, Bosco Grove, Michael Niermann, Gordie Mazur,
Ralph Frisch, Lars Zwisler, Brian Stephenson, Horacio Neto, Gabriel Sanchez
Roberto Gabriel Alvarez, Kevin O'Connell, Anjo Anjewierden and
Wlodek Proskurowski for help in preparing this issue.
Not too many comments this week as I haven't had time for one reason
and another. The tension is rising in the Anand - Kamsky match, one
mistake may settle it. I hope to complete the games for Linares by next
week.
Updates will be available from Las Palmas when time permits at my
www site. (http://www.brad.ac.uk/~mdcrowth/chess.html)
Plenty of games for your entertainment this week.

Many people have commented to me how boring the match has become. This
is not a view I share. I think that this has been a tense and
psychologically very interesting match. Anand in pure chess terms
has had the best of it without being able to add to his score. Kasparov
and others have suggested improvements after time control in game 7
for instance. As I speak I believe that Anand has a very nice position
in game 9. Note that in game 4 I have restored 17. Re3 as my favoured
move. A number of sources have 17. Re2 which I believe to be incorrect.
Both the players are supposed to attend press conferences after draws
and the winner in decisive games. I gather that Kamsky hasn't been
doing this in recent games. This may lead to a fine under PCA rules.
My www page will be updated when possible to keep you updated with the
match. (http://www.brad.ac.uk/~mdcrowth/chess.html)
GAME 4
------
Anand equalised with ease and then proceded to misplay badly. He ended
up in a tricky but holdable ending a pawn down.
GAME 5
------
Lots of theory followed by a Kamsky improvement. A draw after 26 moves.
Kamsky only used 7 minutes.
GAME 6
-------
Kamksy played an inferior opening and before he got into serious trouble he
sacrificed a pawn to set up a solid postion which Anand never looked
like cracking.
GAME 7
------
Game 7 saw Kamsky sacrifice a pawn as black for pressure. Anand solidly
held on and assumed the initiative towards time control. 40.Bxh6 Qb1+
41.Qxb1 Bxb1 42.f3 f5 (Anand) and 41. Qf6 (Kasparov) would have put Kamsky
under more pressure. As it was this was a 43 move draw.
GAME 8
-------
Kamsky assumed the initiative for the first time in a few games
with a Torre system verses the Gruenfeld. Anand clung on to draw.
3) Linares 1995
-------------
Vassily Ivanchuk won the Linares Tournament for the third time.
He won a point clear of Anatoly Karpov, and a further point
clear of 3rd placed Alexey Shirov. These 3 players were undefeated.
Short, Akopian and Lautier all lost large quantities of rating points
from this event. It is to be hoped that Rentero will continue the
event next year (he threatened to cancel this year) and that some
of the big names who were missing this year will play.
I hope to have the gamescores to the last four rounds next week sometime.
I will post them to my www site. (http://www.brad.ac.uk/~mdcrowth/chess.html)

9) The Toronto Class Championships by Gordie Mazur.
-------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The annual Toronto Class Championships took place over the weekend of March
10-12 at the Primrose Hotel.
On the heels of his strong 2nd place performance at the recent Toronto Closed
(see TWIC 23), FM Ron Livshits took sole first with a fine win over FM Grant
Spraggett in the final round. Spraggett ended up sharing 2nd-4th with Michael
Schleifer, who travelled from Montreal, & Eduardo Teodoro IV. Teodoro drew
IM Bryon Nickoloff in the final round while Schleifer took off Goran Milicevic
in 25 moves when Milicevic underestimated Schleifer's attacking chances.
My thanks to Vojin Vujosevic for the Grant Spraggett-Ron Livshits game
which won it for Livshits.
