Michael Bezold, Notzai, Antonio Bento, Alain Talon, Biro Sandor, Videki Sandor,
Rolf Menk, Nigel Johnson and all those who helped with this issue.
Boris Gelfand survived a tight finish to take clear first at the
Rubinstein Memorial, reminding us he is still a class player. 19 year old
Krishnan Sasikiran scored his best ever result in winning the Penta Media GM
event. Its been a tremendously busy week with plenty of interest including the
MSO tournament in London (Daniel Gormally has at last scored a GM norm after
many narrow misses), the French and Spanish Championships, the IV Russian Cup
final, the European under-20 Championships and much more.
Hope you enjoy this issue

The XXXVII Rubinstein Memorial in Polanica Zdroj took place August
17th-26th 2000. The participants were Alexei Shirov, Vassily Ivanchuk, Michal
Krasenkow, Peter Svidler, Boris Gelfand, Zoltan Almasi, Sergei Movsesian,
Alexei Fedorov, Loek Van Wely and Tomasz Markowski. There was also four 10
round Swiss Opens. The strongest being the Open A event won by Pavel
Eljanov.
Boris Gelfand won the XXXVII Rubinstein Memorial with a fine score of
6.5/9 undefeated. This is his best result for a number of years. He beat Alexei
Fedorov in round 1 (whose attacking play badly misfired throughout the event)
and Peter Svidler in round 2, both with the black pieces, then Movsesian and
Shirov in rounds 5 and 6 and was only in any real trouble against Markowski in
round 8. Alexei Shirov and Loek Van Wely chased hard thoughout the event and
both looked capable of winning the event, in the end they shared second place
half a point behind. Peter Svidler had an extremely disappointing event scoring
only 3.5/9.

The French Championships took place in Vichy August 15th-27th 2000.
There were 10 GMs and there was an ELO average of 2507. The event had a
slightly unusual structure. It was divided into 2 pools of 8 players in a round
robin format. The top four in each group went on to the Haute (top) section and
the bottom four in each group went on to play in the Basse (bottom) section.
The players then played the final four rounds against the opponents in their
section who they didn't play in the initial pool section. The French Champion
was the player with the most points over the 11 rounds who was also in the
Haute section. The Champion was Etienne Bacrot who lost just one game, against
Jean-Marc Degraeve in their round 7 pool A game. On the final day Hauchard and
Degraeve played off for 4th-5th and also Bauer and Nataf for 5th-6th place. In
the women's event Marie Sebag won with 8.5/11. Marina Costagliola won the
second game of their playoff to take second place ahead of Anne Muller.
There were over 900 participants divided into 7 tournaments: The main
French Chess Championships, Women's Championships, Accession, Veterans and
Opens A, B and C.
