1) Introduction
---------------
Many thanks to Einar Karlsson, Shay Bushinsky, Carlos H. Taboada.
Reynaldo Vera, Damir Medak, Lars Zwisler, Michael Niermann and
Wlodek Proskurowski for their help in preparing this issue.
(also to Rob van Aurich for the Nato Championships (next issue)
and to Gilles G. Jobin for his openings index (available at my
www site - http://www.brad.ac.uk/~mdcrowth/chess.html)
Also to Anjo Anjewierden for some tools that allow me to increase
the accuracy and improve the presentation of material.
(Apologies if I've left anyone out)
Another action packed issue. Yet again time has caught up on me
leaving me no time to write anything again! Some of the sections
could have done with some more work too but the deadline is nearing.
I tried to get the games for Melody Amber so far with no success.
I have just four this week, having said that I probably wouldn't
have had time to type them in! Lots of games, watch out especially
for the TV Active Chess Tournament Reykjavik from Einar Karlsson
where he has managed to get some notes from GM Petursson. This
event was eventually won by Garry Kasparov. Another truely Worldwide
issue, a tribute to the internet. Hope you enjoy it.

2) Kasparov in Iceland - TV Tournament 26. March 1995 by Einar Karlsson
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Icelandic Channel One TV station offered their viewers the one
and only Garry Kasparov taking on 3 Icelandic GM's in a direct
broadcast on Sunday night (26. March). This is the 3rd year that
the TV station has hosted a worlds top ranked chess player. In
1993 we had Judit Polgar, last year Anatoly Karpov and now Garry.
Hjartarson had a very good day winning against both Olafsson and Stefansson
and drawing against Kasparov. Thus these two ended with 2.5 points.
Stefansson got 1 point and Olafsson 0. The time limit was 25 min
per. game In the end Kasparov and Hjartarson played one 5 min
game. This position came up in the 5 min. game:
White: Hjartarson: Kf2,Bc4,Nc7,Nd5,a5,b4,e4,g3,h4
Black: Kasparov: Kh6,Bd2,Bc6,Nd4,a6,b7,e5,g6,h5
Both players had a little more than a minute left on the clock and
now Hjartarson blundered with 45. Ne6?? and lost.
The games can be found in the games section below. I have added comments
from GM Petursson. I would like to thank Mr. Petursson for allowing
the use of the notes.

Carlos H. Taboada and GM Reynaldo Vera report:
The Cuban National Championships were held in February in Matanzas city
site of the last "Capablanca in Memoriam" tournament.
After the last 7 National Championships were settled using the swiss
pairing system, the most important national event reverted to the best
system: All-Play-All (after a petition from the GM players)
After a hard fight, the winner was the 21 year old I.M. Julio Becerra
who has only played chess for 8 years! He is the most promising Cuban
player for the near future.
The second place (on tie-break) was taken by International Master
Juan Borges (winner of the previous Cuban Championships) who showed
he is a player to be respected.
In conclusion this was a good championship, with magnificent organisation,
high combativeness, and where youth was the principal winner.
