The final elite events are taking place this week before the top players go
into preparation for the FIDE World Championships in Las Vegas. Of course there
will be plenty of Summer opens to look forward to as the Summer holidays
approach. Karpov started with a win in Dortmund, he is currently joint second
with Anand behind Peter Leko who is in first with 2.5/3.
Alexei Shirov had the perfect start after two games with Judit Polgar in the
EuroTel Trophy in Prague. The organiser of the event is Bessel Kok and he was
expected to announce a sponsor for the Anand-Kasparov match slated for later in
the year, there was no mention and the story seems to be that no sponsor has
been found so far.
Hope you enjoy this issue

The EuroTel Trophy is taking place in Prague, the Czech Republic, from 10th
to 18th July 1999. The EuroTel Trophy is being attended by Garry Kasparov - the
winner of EuroTel Trophy 1998. The match is between Judit Polgar and Alexei
Shirov. The first two games were won by Alexei Shirov.
The games start at 2:30pm CET, and will be played with the time control of
40 moves in 2 hours, followed by 20 moves in 1 hour, followed by 30 minutes for
the rest of the game. Internet coverage at:
http://chess.lostcity.nl/eurotel99/,
additional coverage at: http://www.iol.cz. The
six games will take place on July 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18 1999. Garry Kasparov
who won the EuroTel Trophy last year will present the trophy to the winner.
Bessel Kok, Chairman of Eurotel Prague, opened the event but didn't make the
expected announcement about a sponsor for the Kasparov-Anand match later in the
year.
Kasparov was there for the first two games of the event and he played a
lighthearted game against Woody Harrelson (he appeared in Cheers), the game
ended in a draw, Harrelson had a bit of help from players like Seirawan who
stopped him playing a couple of not so good ideas.

The 27th Annual World Open in Philadelphia, with $200,000 worth of prizes
finished on July 5th.
Scott Pendergrast reports: Ten players tied for first at the World Open with
7 points. The winners included: GMs Jaan Ehlvest, Joel Benjamin, Igor Novikov,
Gregory Serper, George Timoshenko, Alex Yermolinsky, Vladimir Akopian, Boris
Gulko, Alexander Shabalov, and Alexander Fishbein. The last major game of the
tournament was between GM Alexander Ivanov and GM Akopian. A win by Ivanov
would have made him the tournament's sole winner but he pushed too hard and
lost in a complicated struggle. After much debate, seven of the winners agreed
to participate in a round-robin speed chess playoff that ended with GMs Gulko
and Serper tied for first. A final one-game match (with draw odds for Black)
was played. Serper (with Black) emerged with the draw and thus became the 1999
World Open Champion.

World Open Blitz by Michael Atkins
"IM Ben Finegold's 7 year 100% victory streak in WBCA blitz events came
to an end in this morning's World Open blitz tournament. Over that 7 year
period his WBCA blitz rating had climbed to 2776, good for third in the world
behind Kasparov and Kramnik. After defeating English GM Aaron Summerscale 2-0
in the third round and World Under-14 Champion Kamuil Miton 2-0 in the 4th
round, Finegold was 8-0 and looking to continue the amazing streak. He ran into
a solid wall in the form of Polish GM Alek Wojtkiewicz and lost the final match
2-0. Wojtkiewicx took clear first and Jorge Sammour-Hasbun took clear second
ahead of Finegold who finished third. 43 players participated in the last event
of the 1999 World Open. Look for games in Blitz Chess Magazine, and several
will be on the World Open website as well."
