More European Club Cup qualifiers headline again this week along with a nice
mix of GM, IM and junior events. News from Spain suggests the Linares 2000
tournament is struggling to find a sponsor and may well not take place. This
with the loss of this year's Tilburg has significantly dented the amount of
SuperGM events recently.
Hope you enjoy this issue

Stefan Muellenbruck reports: A Category 5 event was organised by
Luxembourg's leading chess club Gambit Bonnevoie in memory of their late
president, Donne Haas. This 10 player all-play-all took place September
18th-26th 1999. The players included 1 GM and 4 IMs, with an average rating of
2358. The event produced some interesting chess and was won by Ludger Koerholz
(GER) ahead of GM Vlastimil Jansa (CZE) and IM Michael Wiedenkeller (SWE).
Koerholz showed great fighting spirit (7 wins, 2 losses, no draws!) and scored
his second fm norm.

The World Junior Championships took place in Yerevan, Armenia, September
18th-30th 1999. As reported last week in detail. Round 12 games are now
available. Round 13 games seems unlikely to be made available on the official
site, does anyone have them?
Alexander Galkin won the event with 10.5/13 half a point clear of Rustem
Kasimdzhanov who took silver and Karen Asrian took Bronze on tie-break from Lev
Aronian (who scored a GM nor after 10 rounds), both of whom were on 9.5. Maria
Kouvatsou of Greece took Gold in the women's event ahead of Jana Jackova (CZE)
who took silver and Szidonia Vajda who took Bronze. These three and the unlucky
Irina Krush (who was the only one of the four not to get a medal) all scored
8.5/13 and medals were distributed according to some tie-breaking system
applied to their results.
My thanks to Anton Gubanov, Webmaster for the "Russian Chess",
for clarification of the names and to Osvaldo Orozco Mendez Barranquilla, for
the PGN for converted rounds 7, 10 and 12 and Byes in all rounds. Games from
rounds 1-12 are now available.

Sinisa Joksic reports: The Yugoslav team championships took place in
Vrnjacka Banja August 17th- 28th 1999 with additional play-offs taking place
August 29th-September 1st 1999. Under the new rules of the championships, the
first four teams qualified for the "play-offs". It was a ridiculous
condition to force the players, after 11 hard rounds, to play another 4. Two
hard tournaments, one after another. It is clear that this type of competition
wan't created for chessplayers. It was enormously hard, inhumane, and condusive
to bad chess. This was the reason why the results and quality of the games was
as a whole below the usual levels. "Play-offs" in sport have always
been a way of generating extra money in popular sport, such as baseball,
basketball, ice hockey or American football. Sports that bring crowds to
stadiums, and who pay for high prced tickets to watch them etc. It didn't make
any sense here.

The Organisation wasn't bad but Hotels charge very high rates and this was
very expensive for less well off clubs.

The 51st Yugoslav Team Championship (women)
Vrnjacka Banja, August 17.- 26. 1999. The women's championship were a race
between "AGROUNIVERZAL" and "BAS".
"AGROUNIVERZAL" took a two point advantage following the second
round. "BAS" fought very well and gradually reduced the difference.
In the final round they both had the same number of points, 21.5, then
"AGROUNIVERZAL" scored 4:0 and won the title. The last two teams,
"POZAREVACKI SAH KLUB" and "GOSA" from Smederevska Palanka
dropped into the second division. ("GOSA" were the European Champion
once!) The first seven teams were from Beograd! Women Grandmasters, Svetlana
Prudnikova, Irina Chelushkina and Marija Manakova, who have lived for more than
10 years in Yugoslavia have married Yugoslavs,and had their own family and
children who can play for the Yugoslav national team in the future.
(Unbelievably, some officials from the Yugoslav Chess Federation were against
it, for many years!) The separation of men and women in team competition, was
once more demonstrated as a big mistake. In the golden years of Yugoslav Chess,
the team championships was over 10 boards, 6 men, 2 women and 2 juniors.
FINAL STANDINGS:
1. "AGROUNIVERZAL" Beograd 25.5/36
2. "BAS" Beograd 24.5
3. "Partizan" Beograd 21.5
4. "BEKO" Beograd 18.5
5. "RAD SKOLA SAMPIONA" Beograd 17.5
