Swansea. --------------------------------------- (by Eric Holdsworth with additional round 5 information from myself.) ROUND 3 -------- Early leaders in the British Championships taking place in the Swansea Leisure Centre, Wales during something of a heatwave which nearly all of Britain is 'enjoying' are: 3/3 Matthew Sadler Geoff Lawton Aaron Summerscale 2.5/3 Jonathan Parker Keith Arkell Mark Hebden and James Howell will also be on 2.5 if they are able to convert their slight advantages in the round 3 games to the full point in each case. The lead after Round4 in the British Champs seems unlikely to have changed as far as 2 of the 3 players are concerned. Round 3 leaders Geoff Lawton 3/3 and Matthew Sadler 3/3 met, so there was no way it could remain altogether the same. Lawton got into time trouble and at the move 40 time control it seemed very likely that Sadler would win. The other leader on 3/3 was Aaron Summerscale and he played the Championship 2nd. seed Mark Hebden 2.5/3. A peculiar opening called the Clarendon Court (over here in Britain anyway) was used: ROUND 4 ------- So I.M Summerscale moves on to 4/4, where we expect G.M Sadler to join him. Leaders: 4/4 Summerscale 3.5 3+1unf Sadler, Lawton 3 Arkell, Howell, Hunt, Turner, Hennigan, Ward Harriet Hunt, Britain's leading female though still a junior, has made a great start. Undeterred by her loss to Sadler in Round 2 she has won all her other games. Yesterday she played Britain's prodigy Luke McShane (at 11 the youngest player ever to qualify for the British Championship) and demolished him in 30 moves. Harriet seems very likely to win the British Ladies title. Matthew Turner on 3/4 is another rising star from British junior chess, and it will be interesting to see if he can stay in contention when he starts meeting the likes of Sadler, Summerscale, Hebden and Arkell. Joint leaders GM Matthew Sadler 4/4 and IM Aaron Summerscale 4/4 met in round 5 and played a hard-fought draw in a complicated game that suddenly calrified into an equal position at move 27. Pre-tournament 2nd favourite GM Mark Hebden 2.5/4 lost further ground when Richard Bates beat him. Britain's juniors are certainly making their presence felt this year in no uncertain way! However 17 y.o Harriet Hunt 3/4 saw her progress to the Ladies title take a setback when she lost to IM Chris Ward. This was another tough game and very even until Harriet missed an endgame tactic. 3rd favourite GM Keith Arkell continued his quiet progress up the leader board as he dismantled early joint leader IM Geoff Lawton. The shell-shocked Lawton finally resigned 5 pawns down!

Juggling time zones, play started at 5.30pm US EST July 29 (7.30am Aus EST July 30) at Patch Reef Park Community Center, Boca Raton, Florida, and Bond University, Gold Coast, Queensland. Distant matches have been around since the first telegraph lines, but the glitch has always been delays in transmission of moves. Computer networking in recent years has been taken the next logical step further, with the development in Queenland of chess clocks linked to the network - stopping one clock instantly displays the move on the opponent's screen and starts his clock. Games can now be played in real time. Fate intervened this time - the eight clocks sent to Florida disappeared in the maws of the US Postal Service, and the match had to be played by telephone link. Despite a couple of human errors in transmission, the match ran well thanks to the organisational skills of Kerry Corker, Queensland Junior Chess League, and Don Schultz, Florida Chess Association. The result was a convincing 6.5-1.5 win to Queensland.

There were 8 legs of 13 games each, making a total of 104 games for every participant. Many strong players have been here in the past, including the Polgar sisters in the late 80s. This years event was no different, many of the strongest german blitz players took part, e.g. last year's winner GM Klaus Bischoff. The first half of the 24 hour event consisted of 4 preliminary rounds, where the stronger players scored a high percentage. For instance, tournament director (!) FM Johannes Hiebel, a local blitz hero started off with more than 40 wins in a row. As expected, GM Valentin Arbakov, GM Klaus Bischoff, IM Robert Rabiega, IM Karl-Heinz Podzielny and GM Philipp Schlosser scored also well. Rounds 5-8 were the final and decisive rounds where all leaders met in the "A" final. Players which were placed 15th to 28th played in the "B"-Final etc. down to the "V"-Final! After every 13 game-mini-round robin, the total standings were recalculated and the new consistency of the "A", "B" etc. groups was determined accordingly. Therefore, one could easily promote to a higher final by scoring well. On the opposite, it was also easy to drop back if you weren't that successful. Bets were made whether Klaus Bischoff (perhaps the strongest german blitz player) could defend his title against the well-known "chess machine" Valentin Arbakov. As it turned out, Arbakov proved to be unstoppable this time, winning the event with 91 points from 104 games! Final standings at the top (after 104 games): 1. GM V.Arbakov 2500 91 2.

World, is well known for his organizing and sponsoring tournament events (over the board) like i.e. the annual matches between the world best ladies and the best veterans. (You may remember the recently finished "Polka"-match in Prag.) He qualified for the World Championship XIV Final, started April 1994, but withdrew due to a severe illness. The last number in each line seems to indicate the number of rated games for the player, thus, some ratings may be regarded as better fixed than others. -- Christoph Pfrommer Technical University Darmstadt Internet: chris@ipgs.ipg.verm.th-darmstadt.de 10) Norresundby Bank Skak Cup by Under Uret /Flemming Jensen. ------------------------------------------------------- 45 games from the danish GM-group at Norresundby Bank Skak Cup 1995, in PGN-format.The tournament was cat. 8 and had a winner, well known here in Denmark.
