My thanks to Zsolt Korpics, Luis Esquivel, Emmanuel Variniac, Raimo

Ftacnik, Bob Jones and John Saunders and all those who helped with this
issue.
RB Ramesh became the first Commonweath visitor to win the British
Championships since Abe Yanofsky from Canada in 1953. Ramesh became the first
Indian to triumph since Sultan Khan who won in 1929 and 1933. The challenge of
Ignatius Leong for the FIDE Presidency should at least lead to some discussion
of the issues that have been decided by dictat over the last few years. The
summer brings a huge quantity of chess in this issue. The major event next week
is the Anand vs. Ponomariov rapid match in Mainz which should be very
interesting indeed.
Hope you enjoy this issue.
Mark
The Smith & Williamson British Chess Championships took place in
Torquay, 28th July - 10th August 2002. The event was open to British and
Commonwealth players and there was a strong Indian entry this year. The Indian
players were favourites to make a clean sweep of the main titles and they
achieved that. There was however a surprise winner of the championships with
Indian IM RB Ramesh winning with 8.5/11 half a point clear of last years
champion Joe Gallagher and pre-event favourite Krisnan Sasikiran (who took the
under-21 title). As expected the women's title was taken by Humpy Koneru. My
thanks to Bob Jones and John Saunders for their help.

The 2002 Montreal International took place July 25 to August 5, 2002.
Jean-Marc Degraeve won the event with 8.5/10.
Lubomir Ftacnik reports: Montreal international tournament was the 3rd
edition of the event, that is the child of Andre Langlois. Himself a promissing
player in his young days he chose an academic career, but stayed connected with
chess in a capacity of the rear species of able chess organizer. The aim of
improving the standard of chess life in Canada is pursuied with annual round
robin tournaments giving best players the chance to meet strong international
opposition. The third edition has reached a respectable level of FIDE cat 11,
with some players in the 2600 range. Thanks to the help of insurance company
Axa the venue was a beautiful conference room in the heart of downtown Montreal
with a similar adjoining space for chess analyses and commentary animated by
local masters. Everything in the running of the event was professional and very
pleasant, many specatators were attending daily and stayed the long night hours
of hard fought games. The improbable organizational achievement of Mr.Langlois
still cost him great sum from his own pocket, but he hopes to sell the event to
the corporate sponsor eventually. Notable results were achieved by one of the
favourites Degraeve and canadian champion and coming star Charbonneau. The
Montreal star and best canadian GM Lesiege has hit a misserable form and
struggled to stay afloat. Against all odds the similar event is planned for the
next year, encouraged by the unusually broad coverage in the local media and
even television.

The Olomouc Chess Summer 2002 took place 31st July - 8th August 2002 in
Olomouc (Czech Republic). There were 4 groups of IM round-robin tournaments, a
FIDE open and tournament for youngsters up to the age of 18. There were
altogether 258 players from 20 countries including GM Jan Plachetka (2439), IM
Ramil Hasangatin (2517) or Tania Sachdev - junior woman champion of Asia 2002.
Full results below. Note that the game Bernasek - Florea Inline Czechia Cup (6)
saw the clear winner of that event have an extra white as the players contrived
to play with the wrong colours.
My thanks to Jakub Fuksik.

Maciej Nurkiewicz reports: "II Miguel Najdorf Memorial" in Grodzisk
Mazowiecki The famous polish grandmaster Miguel Najdorf was born in Grodzisk
Mazowiecki (about 30 km from Warsaw). For this reason in this city last year
started an international tournament to commemorate one of the greatest chess
players in history. This year the second tournament (27.07-03.08) saw 45
participants compete including Vladimir Malaniuk and Michal Brodski who started
from the second round as they came immediately from a tournament in Barlinek.
IM Lukasz Cyborowski (POL) won with 7,5/9, second was IM Sergey Fedorchuk
(UKR)7/9. A few games from the final round are available.
