The Monarch Assurance Open, Isle of Man, took place November 6th-14th
November 1999 in the Cherry Orchard Hotel, Port Erin, Isle of Man. A little bit
of history was created at the Monarch Assurance Open when the defending
champion, Emil Sutovsky from Israel, retained his title. Sharing first equal
with Russia's Sergey Shipov on 6.5/9, Sutovsky took the title on tiebreak to
become the first winner to successfully defend the title. Nigel Short looked on
target for a big score in the event until losing two consecutive games to Mark
Hebden (where he claims he missed a win) and against Sergey Shipov where he
again blundered.
My thanks to John Henderson in the Isle of Man for the coverage. See TWIC's
pages for pictures and more from the event.

Lanfranco Bombelli reports: The 59th Italian Championships are taking place
in Saint-Vincent, Aosta Valley November 13th-21st. Igor Efimov is the top seed.
Igor Efimov plays but he cannot win the title, his results are valid only for
standing and prizes. A recent disposition of the Italian Olympic Committee
allows no longer a foreign citizen to become Italian champion. Efimov is
officially resident at Montecatini Terme with his family and FIDE recognized
him as an Italian players four years ago. However he is still a Georgian
citizen. One Italian player cannot play as he failed a drug test at the open in
Porto San Giorgio. [I'm not aware of what drugs are banned for chess.]
