1) Introduction
---------------
My thanks to the many people who have helped me out this week.
Anjo Anjewierden, Roberto Alvarez, Bob Wade, Otto Borik, ICC, SS Quah
Flemming Jensen of Under Uret, Wlodek Proskurowski, Howard Streit,
Hugh Brodie and Jonathan Berry.
One of the problems of letting TWIC hang over until Monday is
that you always get extra material! Here the Copenhagen Open
was totally new, and there were updates to the World Open, Quebec and
most importantly to the Intel story. This story is base on a
lot of rumour, there aren't any solid facts to be had. However
there are no doubt people making plans to go to Cologne when
in fact they should be going to New York. The PCA's silence
is leaving a big vacuum filled with rumour. I've tried to
give the story as I see it. Only Cologne and the PCA can tell
us the real story.
Anyhow I'll wrap up now before any more news arrives.

2) PCA INTEL World Championship may be played in New York
------------------------------------------------------
The PCA INTEL World Championship final between Kasparov
and Anand now looks likely to be held in New York rather
than Cologne, finance permitting.
I've tried to piece together what is happening, this news
is not confirmed in any way however. One thing is certain,
people should hold off booking accomodation in Germany
until it is cleared up.
With only ten weeks before the scheduled start of the match
it appears that the German organiser's are about one million
Deutchmarks short of the required amount to hold the match.
When Heinrich Jellissen died in December of last year I was
told almost immediately that this would be a disaster for
German chess. He was responsable for a large amount of
the money with which events over there were financed. This
appears to be the case as the Bundesliga has had its financial
troubles and now this rather disappointing (rumoured) failure
to find the money for the PCA match. The floods in Cologne
can't have helped in finding local sponsors. If this is the
main reason it has resonance with the LA riots that could
be said to be responsable for the founding of the PCA in the first
place! (you'll have to work this one out for yourself!)
It looks like the PCA are trying to organise the event in the
World Trade Centre and that an announcement may very will
be made to this effect this week. I imagine they're waiting
to be reasonably certain of the finance. This match is going
to be a genuine battle, with a reasonable chance (probably
a little less than 50%) that the title will change hands this
time, so there is some room to sell this match to potential
sponsors.
On a side note, it had earlier been stated that the BBC would
cover the match in Britain. However UK Teletext appealed for letters to
the BBC as this coverage may now be in the balance. (in the
brave new market BBC, with all its market efficiency in
place, it managed to "mislay" an extremely large quantity of
money, so the chess may be a victim of that). All World title
matches, at least since 1972 have been covered on TV, (including
both the FIDE and PCA matches last time.)
Now the match looks like it is in the States one would hope
that the PCA will be able to get proper coverage of the title
match itself on US TV. Did the New York INTEL Grand Prix get
any TV coverage anywhere?
This was as I wrote the story yesterday (Sunday). Malcolm Pein
gives a slightly different version in the Telegraph today (Monday).
He suggests that it is simply a case of the PCA receiving a better
and more prestigious offer in New York. He wonders how they are
to get out of their contract with Cologne. Dortmund pulled out of
bidding for the Championships because of a clause which allowed the
PCA to change venues at a very close date to the Championships.
Perhaps Cologne signed this ridiculous document. Perhaps there
is some truth in both accounts with Cologne struggling to raise
the money but expecting to hold the match and the PCA deciding to
go elsewhere. I expect developments this week.

3) GRAN PRIX CLARIN (tournament IV)- Potrero de Los Funes- SAN LUIS -ARG
June 17 to 25, 1995 , by Roberto Alvarez
************************************************************************
IGM Gilberto Milos won the IV event of the "Gran Prix Clarin", held on "Potrero
de los Funes", an small village around San Luis City (800 Km from Buenos
Aires, Argentina, South America). He was a bit lucky due to a win against
IM Roberto Servat, who lost on time in a winning position. Second was IGM
Pablo Zarnicki (former world champion U-20, silver medal in the Moscow Olympiad
1994), with better Bucholz than IM Andres Rodriguez (Uruguay). This last
named player got his first IGM norm, and finished unbeaten.

4) INTEL CORRECTIONS
-----------------
In the games section there are a couple of games that have appeared in
recent TWIC`s that appear to be incorrect. Thanks to Jonathan Berry for
pointing them out. 30. Qd3 not 30. Qb3 as given in the Speelman-Chernin
qualifier game and 22. ...Kg8 not Kh8 in the Smirin-DeFirmian game.
5) Veterans vs the Ladies in Prague
---------------------------------
Smyslov, Portish, Hort and Korchnoi are among the Veterans
and at least one and possibly all three Polgar's play.
It starts tomorrow and there are 3 free days, 10 games
ends 15th July.
6) G7 Tournament
---------------
Information Annette and Otto Borik.
The event was organised during the G7 summit in Canada.
There were teams from the 7 nations attending the summit
and from Russia. The timerate was 30 minutes for all the moves.
The players all played in their home countries via the internet.
The teams had one male and one female member. The UK was to
be represented by Danny King but the time of the event was
changed so he was replaced by Ali Mortazavi. There were
a number of technical difficulties during some of the games.

a little clearer after round 5 when the schedules merge.
Hopefully I will have some games next week.

excellent www page. My thanks also to Howard Streit, Hugh Brodie
and Jonathan Berry.
Alexandre Lesiege is running away with the event and
was on 7/7 (I await the results from yesterday`s
adjournments. This young player is the big hope for
Canadian chess and he has stamped his authority on this
event certainly.)

15) STUDIES by Wlodek Proskurowski
--------------------------------------------------------
TWIC # 39
Last week we saw a study by Mitrofanov with a remarkable Queen sacrifice.
Today we recall a study that employs a similar idea but where the wQ
sacrifice is repeated several times (naturally, because of that the position
is less economical). The study is by then 24-years old, who now is
a GM in Chess Composition.

Solution:
The first two moves create a mating net
1.f4+ Kh6 1...Kf6 2.e5+ wins easily
2.Bf8! First wQ sacrifice
a1Q It must be refused since 2...Qxa7 3.Kh4 leads to a mate.
Black in turn sacrifices its newly promoted Queen
in an attempt to deactivate bQ.
3.Qxa1 Qc8 The only way to try to save the game is to attack wB.
4.Qa6! Second wQ sacrifice. Note that wQ also attacks pawn e6.
Paranthetically, if 3...Qd8 then again 4.Qa6, not 4.Qa5?
Qc3+ Again, it must be refused: 4...Qxa6 5.Kh4 with a mate.
4... Qxf8 with the same play as in the main variant.
