Sklavounos, Vadim Kaminsky Steve Immitt, Kevin O'Connell and Sasha Nikulin (who did sterling work on the Novgorod file. All of whom helped with another gigantic issue. Hopefully I'll have time to deal with lots of little items that have been left out over recent weeks. After a minor panic last night when I couldn't see straight the small (would you have noticed???) changes have been made to correct errors. Hope you enjoy this issue. Mark 2) Novgorod Open Tournament --------------------------- After a lot of hard work I now have a version of the Novogorod Open file that appears to be in substance correct. I would like to thank Kevin O'Connell and Sasha Nikulin (who made the major breakthrough in interpreting the file.) for their help in interpreting the file. Also to the Webmaster at infonet.ee. Games that just consist of 1. d4 d5 are ones which we have inserted in place of missing games. Literally on the deadline there is one error in the table that Sasha found Round 7. Efremov and Vlasov withdrew, Galkin forfeit and withdrew I left a couple of players to play on and play each other again! Unfortunately I don't have time to correct this. As mentioned last week Bologan qualifies for the main Novgorod Tournament next year. Novgorod Open (RUS), 26th May- 3rd June 1995. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Bologan, Viktor g MDA 2540 +54 +45 -

He thanks Steve Immitt, Tournament Director, who provided him with the crosstable. He also provided the selection of games. The table includes players who were supposed to turn up but didn't. Because Anand has declined to play the New York leg of the Grand Prix (a very sensable decision with his possible once in a lifetime match against Kasparov coming up, in fact I'm getting a really good feeling about Anand's whole attitude this year.) there were 8 qualifiers from this event. Kasparov, Kramnik and Ivanchuk will play in the main event, I'm unsure at this stage who else, this starts on Tuesday June 20th finishing Friday 23rd.
