The Brains in Bahrain Match has a lot of competition this week with the
FIDE World Cup in India and the Essent Glass Tournament in Hoogeveen. Shock of
the week was probably Kramnik's one mover against Fritz in game 5 of their
match. After carefully building a near unassailable match advantage after four
games he was close a draw that would just about clinch things for him when he
made the kind of one move blunder that most amateurs would blush at. Elsewhere
Bacrot beat Gelfand with a win in the final game of their match in Albert,
France and Shirov showed great efficiency in overpowering the field in the
Spanish Championships.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

The Brains in Bahrain match between Vladimir Kramnik and Deep Fritz
takes place 2nd-22nd October 2002 (Opening Ceremony 2nd October. Playing days
4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17 & 19 October, 2002).
After taking a 1.5-0.5 after game two Kramnik took control of the match
by winning game three on the black side of a Scotch Defence. Deep Fritz drew
easily on the black side of a Tarrasch Defence. The match sprung back into life
when Kramnik committed an amazing one move blunder in a relatively simple
position to lose game five.
TWIC has daily coverage of the match including live moves, pictures and

New Internet Correspondence Game to Begin
Beginning March 11th, 2002 the World Team will begin a new game against
