Mark 2) Dortmund International Tournament --------------------------------- An exciting category 17 tournament started on Friday in Germany. One notable absentee is Yusupov who presumably is involved in Anand's preparations to take on Kasparov in New York in September.

Info from Tasc Tournament Systems -------------------------------------------------------- In spite of a spirited fightback in the final 2 rounds from the veterans the women won this Scheveningen style tournament (sponsored by The Association Max Euwe, the idea of Joop van Oosterom.) The final score was 26.5 to 23.5 to the ladies. Joop van Oosterom has some very interesting idea's in promoting chess. He sponsors matches which help Dutch players (such as the Piket-Timman match later this year) and also pioneers new formats such as the Melody Amber Blindfold/Rapidplay events and the Sicilian Theme Tournament. This Veterans vs Women event has been another of his successful ideas. The players tend to be well matched and the results are always open to doubt. It is always nice to see the oldtimers go through their paces. I must once against stress my thanks to Tasc Tournament Systems for providing me with all the games in a timely fashion, its a pleasure to have these things in a ready to use format. In particular to Eric van der Schilden who was operating the electronic boards there and to my cheerful mailman Marc Derksen.

However, the tournament organizers apparently failed to consider the fact that someone might organize an open chess championship of the cosmos, thereby taking into consideration the possibility that there might be other universes within this cosmos in which chess is also played. Nevertheless, there can be no doubt that the chess championship of the universe is greater than the mere chess championship of the world. On such an auspicious occasion, the quality of the play measured up, particularly with a sparkling "out of this world" miniature victory by recent Ukrainian emerge Rost Tsodikov, who first arrived in America in September, 1994. His opponent, Adrian Keatinge-Clay, aged 17, is, at 2282, one of the top rated players for his age group in the U.S. Against Keatinge-Clay, Tsodikov played a brilliant "coming from nowhere" queen sacrifice, leading to checkmate. Fifteen-year-old Jennie Frenklakh did not play as well as she has played in other tournaments recently, but still she managed to gain a tie for fourth place in the Expert Section with a score of 2.5-1.5. Frenklakh, rated 2106, is only the second girl ever to qualify for the U.S. Cadet Championship (the first was Anna Khan). That tournament will start in Washington, D.C. next weekend. Among the favorites there will be Dmitry Zilberstein, 16, rated 2350, who here managed a tie for fourth in the Masters Section of the Universe Open. The last round in the Class "E" section featured a titanic struggle between Jennie's 11-year-old brother, Sergey, and Jordy Mont-Reynaud's eight-year-old sister, Mary-Jo. Jennie's brother won, but only after a long endgame struggle. Jordy himself, who last year became the first 11-year-old ever to gain a USCF master's rating, did not play in the Universe Open, preferring instead to try at the lesser event being held simultaneously in Philadelphia this weekend. The final results were: Master Section: First, Rost Tsodikov, 3.5-.5, Second, Walter Shipman and Mike Arne tied with 3-1, Fourth, Vladimir Mezentsev, Guillermo Rey, Thomas Wolski, and Dmitry Zilberstein tied with 2.5-1.5. Experts section: First, Gregory Olde 3.5-.5, Second, Frisco Del Rosario and Richard Meamber tied with 3-1. Here are some of the games. Be sure to look at the game between Tsodikov and Keatinge-Clay. In this last and final game, which does not belong in anybody's chess database, an 8-year-old girl, rated 836, survived a Fried Liver Attack by White, thereby proving that even eight-year-olds know a little opening theory nowadays. 5) Bank-Hoffman-Cup ---------------- Norbert Friedrich writes Baden-Baden (Germany) 17.8. - 20.8 1995 Rapid Chess (25 min + 5 sec per move) Price fond (70.000 DM) 8 invited Grandmasters (Karpov, Kortchnoi, Yusupow, Huebner, Dautov, Kindermann, Boensch + ?) and 24 qualified players will play 7 rounds in Knockout tournament. 6) U.S. Cadet Championship by Janice Mehler ---------------------------------------- The U.S. Cadet Championships were played July 6 - 9, 1995, at the U.S. Chess Center in Washington, D.C. The country's top eight players under age 16 are invited to play in the Cadet. The final scores were: Igor Shliperman 5.5 Dmitry Zilberstein 5 Harutyun Akopyan 5 Nawrose Nur 3.5 Jennie Frenklakh 3 Arpiar Nazarian 2.5 Charles Gelman 2.5 Vinay Bhat 1 Jennie Frenklakh was the first female participant ever in a U.S. Cadet Championship. Vinay Bhat broke the record earlier this year in becoming the youngest master in U.S. history. (hopefully there will be some games next week, they were held over due to some technical difficulties with some of the games.) 7) Irish Championships by Kieran English -------------------------------------- The entrants in this years championships are as follows: 1.

It was a pretty strong tournament featuring 9 GMs: Ilya Smirin, Boris Alterman, Ronen Har-Zvi, Yehuda Gruenfeld, Valery Beim, Avigdor Bichovsky, Ronen Lev, Eran Lies & Gadi Rechlis. Final Results: 1.

It should have been: Morozevich 0-1 Korchnoi not Korchnoi 1-0 Morozevich. 10) Zanka (Hungary) 1-12 May 1995. by zsoltsz@tigris.klte.hu -------------------------------------------------------------- The first table is the official table, the second an unofficial crosstable.

I think this is probably the final table, although I'm waiting confirmation. A number of people have pointed out that there was a mate missed in the game Emms-Hector (move 41 and around that area) I'm trying to check out whether this is a gamescore or player error!

Arkell won the event and Buckley achieved the norm target of 11 from 15. Buckley appears to have both the norm and rating requiresments to become an IM. I understand that Richard Bates may have some chances of a partial norm based on 11 games I believe. My thanks to Bob Wade for the table. There are still one or two games to be finished over the weekend. My thanks to Steven Rix for typing in a few of the games from the event.
