The Hartwall Heart Of Finland open took place in Jyväskylä
Finland, 19th-23rd of July 2000. There was a 6 way tie on 7/9 with Viktor
Gavrikov having the superior tie-break. This was Vladimir Bagirov's final
event. He was winning his 4th round game when he became ill during an attempt
to reconstruct the position after a time scramble (they made around 45 moves)
but died early the following morning in hospital.

The Dutch Open Championships took place in Dieren July 18th-27th 2000.
Anjo Anjewierden reports: The Dutch Open dates back to 1873, the year
the Dutch Chess Federation was founded. Over the last decades Dieren has been
the venue attracting strong GM's in the open section and aspiring amateurs in
the other sections. This year the number of participants totalled more than
400.
Round 7 turned out to be crucial for the final outcome of the
tournament. In the game Dvoirys-Zilberman the player with the white pieces was
lucky that Zilberman missed the tactical shot: 32... Bg3 with threats of a
back-row mate. Dvoirys was in time-trouble and Zilberman (in Anand-style) had
more than an hour on the clock. The game petered out to a drawn ending and
Dvoirys retained his chances to win the tournament. The game Meijers-Van der
Weide was won by White. This put a temporary end to Van der Weide's excellent
play and results in the tournament. Meijers score of 6/7 took him to the lead.
In round 8 Meijers lost to Jacob Murey when he overplayed his position.
Afterwards Meijers complained about a draw offer in a position in which he was
better. Dvoirys won against Dutch Fritz-killer John van der Wiel. The latter
seemed to enjoy the tournament, but was a bit off optimal form. Murey led with
6,5/8.
The last round added drama. Dvoirys' imaginative play against Murey did
not pay off and it seemed certain that Murey would win the tournament. Murey
exchanged into a draw ending with an exchange down knowing that a draw would be
sufficient for clear first. Dvoirys actually offered a draw which was refused
by Murey!! In the end Dvoirys won the game and was the only player to score 7
points. The difference between first and shared second place was fl. 3250.
Karel van der Weide was the best Dutch player at 6,5/9 and he earned an
entry for the closed championships in 2001 (provided the formula is retained).
If you like to play chess in nice rural surroundings put 19-29 July
2001 in your aganda.

The International Open in Bergen, Norway took place 21st-29th July 2000.
The event was a nine round Swiss System event with 50 players. Alexander
Volzhin finished in clear first place with 7/9 half a point clear of Peter
Heine Nielsen, Einar Gausel, Rune Djurhuus, Davit Lobzhanidze and Andrew
Ledger.
Eirik Gullaksen reports: Bergen Chess International was played in the
Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Bergen (Norway) 21-29th July 2000. GM Alexander
Volzhin of Russia made a very solid impression and took first place with 7
points (5 wins, 4 draws). Danish GM Peter Heine Nielsen led through most of the
tournament, but suffered a last-round loss against GM Einar Gausel and had to
settle for a shared second place. Norwegian Kristian Trygstad made his first
IM-norm with 5.5 points, while IM Davit Lobzhanidze (Georgia) was half a point
short of the GM-norm. The unrated Norwegian Per Manne made a very good
impression and only a last-round loss against GM Rune Djurhuus kept an IM-norm
out of his grasp. IM Frode Elsness entered the tournament as a substitute after
4 rounds. Elsness played very well and made a 2600 performance in his five
games, including draws against GM Sergei Tiviakov and GM Yuri Yakovich.

The Politiken Cup (22nd Copenhagen open) took place 17th-28th July 2000
in Copenhagen, Denmark.
GMs Lars Bo Hansen, Jonny Hector and Boris Gulko shared first place.
England's Luke McShane scored his final GM norm and its possible that he has
also met the current criterion on rating and will get the title but this is
subject to FIDE ratification as he doesn't currently have the necessary 2500
rating.

festival commences with the Surfers Paradise Parkroyal International which is
being held at a five star venue on Queensland's Gold Coast in order to give
Australian players the opportunity to play top class overseas opposition. The
nine round Swiss event features GMs Nikolic, Ftacnik, Rogers and Johansen and
runs from 7-17 June. Whilst the Prize Fund is a modest $5,000 the playing
conditions are superb and the hotel is situated in one of the world's great
holiday destinations. Entry fees are IMs and GMs FOC, players rated 2300+ $150,
2200+ $250, 2100+ $350, 2000+ $450. Overseas players are half price and there
