Troso, Shahcom, and all those who helped with this issue.
An interesting week with Boris Gulko winning the US Championships, Kasparov
losing an entertaining exhibition game against Timman and a 12 year old winning
the European Junior U18 Championships. On the money front there are two
stories: it seems certain that the Kasparov-Anand match will not take place
until next year at the earliest. Embarassment for FIDE as some of their checks
from the FIDE Championships bounced, however this seems at the moment to have
been an administrative error and a second time round at least some have been
paid. Most have received their payouts from the Championships.
My thanks to Geurt Gijssen for couple of the missing games from Las Vegas.
Hope you enjoy this issue

The Interplay US Championships 1999 ranAugust 23rd in Salt Lake City. The

Jan Timman defeated Garry Kasparov in an exhibition game held during the
Wereldhaven Festival in Rotterdam on Sunday 5th 1999. This was a huge Festival
including many events, this seems to have been the only important chess game
played there. The players played on a real board but it was a sort of living
chess game with huge containers, as used in ports, so it took a long time (over
four hours). Kasparov called it his "heaviest" game. The event took
place at the ECT Delta Terminal. In previous years Timman has played Karpov and
Yussupov using where people were the pieces [info Wybe Koopmans] .

The Canadian Chess Championships took place August 31st-September 9th 1999.
The event was won by Alexandre Lesiege who has been in a rich vein of form
recently. He scored 7/9 ahead of Kevin Spraggett, David Ross, Lawrence Day,
Thanh Nha Duong and Michael Schleifer on 6/9.
26 players took part in this event, the first time it has been ever held as
a Swiss. Since this was a Zonal tournament, a 2/3rds score (6/9) gave an
automatic IM title. Thus, three Montrealers (Thanh Nha Duong, Dave Ross, and
Michael Schliefer) received IM titles. (The other player with 6, Bryon
Nickoloff of Toronto is already an IM). Several FM titles for a 4.5/9 score
were also earned.

The Kasparov vs. the World chess tournament started June 21st. The event is
taking place on the MSN network. Kasparov gave a press conference in London on
September 2nd 1999.

Garry Kasparov vs The
World Prize Quiz
John Henderson reports from Kasparov's press conference yesterday. "At
a press conference held yesterday at one of London's exclusive private members
club, Home House, Kasparov and Microsoft officials announced that the match had
caught the imagination of the world with unprecedented "hits" on
Microsoft's gaming zone. Since June 21, when the match started, the MSN.COM
site has received more than 15 million page views, and "Kasparov vs. The
World" is now rated the largest interactive competition in history - even
surpassing the previous record of hits, ironically held by a previous chess
match, the infamous 1997 meeting between Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue.
With chess fans of all skills and levels from more than 79 countries
joining up to become members of the World Team, Kasparov admitted that
collectively they had caused him to have a few sleepless nights. "I have
spent more time analysing this game than I have any other during my reign as
world champion," he said. "This experiment on MSN.COM proves that
collaboration over the Internet can raise the quality of play remarkably.
Throughout the match, the World Team has consistently performed at a level that
far surpasses what you would expect from anyone rated less than a
grandmaster."
Kasparov revealed that he had spent over 100 hours analysing the position
to date and, while he believes he's not losing, on the other hand, even he's
not all that sure yet if he's winning! Whilst at the beginning of the match
everyone simply assumed that Kasparov was going to win, this game has by no
means been an easy ride for the world champion, and even at this late stage of
the game, the outcome is still unclear.
The match suddenly came to life when "The World", prompted by one
of their four young coaches for the match, the 15-year-old American, Irina
Krush, hit the world champion with the speculative theoretical novelty
10..Qe6!? From then on, the world champion admitted that the game got steered
into murky waters of which no computer could work out as the ramifications went
way beyond their "horizon" threshold.
