Gelfand, Sepehr Saloor, Emmanuel Variniac, Sergey Bystrov, Antonio Rosino,
Miklos Orso and everyone else who helped with the issue.
Viswanathan Anand continued his tremendous run of form by demolishing
the Corsica Masters in Bastia conceding just one draw in the rapid event. By
this time next week the Russian Championships should be underway. When I was
growing up the Soviet Championship was one of the real highlights of the chess
calendar and still is when they get all the best players out as they have here.
Kasparov and Kramnik ought to be the favourites but Alexander Morozevich has
shown that he can really score heavily against players other than these two. A
number of other players may have a say too. The stakes seem highest for
Kasparov, he wants to play Kramnik in a rematch and a win here would strongly
reinforce his case, however he hasn't won a regular tournament since Linares
2002 and a significant failure would perhaps suggest his day has gone. However
he has made statements recently that he will definitely be ready for this event
which perhaps wasn't the case over the last couple of years so there is plenty
to look forward to.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

There is a match in Astana November 4th-10th 2004 between Anatoly Karpov
and Darmen Sadvakasov there are four normal time rate games (Sadvakasov won
this section 2.5-1.5) and four rapid games. The official site is
http://www.chess.awd.kz/ but bizarrely
it appears to give the moves only after move 21 supposedly at the insistance of
Karpov so we may not see the full games until after the Russian Championship if
at all. I'm looking for another source. Further coverage:

The Alekhine Chess Club in Calcutta organises an international open
7th-18th November 2004. The event is recognised by FIDE, the Indian Government
and the All India Chess Federation. The club has organised over 25
international events including the Goodricke International Open Chess
Tournament. Aleksej Alexandrov of Belarus with an Elo rating of 2659 is the
favourite, followed by Ni Hua of China, Oleg Romanishin also competes. Indian
players include Surya Sekhar Ganguly Sandipan Chanda, Abhijit Kunte, Dibyendu
Barua, Tejas Bakre, D.V. Prasad, Lanka Ravi, Neelotpal Das and Saptarshi Roy.
Other players include: Reefat Bin Sattar and Abdulla al-Rakib. Round 1 is on
8th November.
Club website: http://www.alekhinechessclub.8k.com
but this doesn't appear to be the official site for the event.
The Israeli Chess Federation sent a letter to FIDE officials
questioning the result of the match between Georgia and Armenia. Game fixing in
chess goes on (particularly in lesser events where prize money and norms are
concerned), its however incredibly difficult to prove and in general ignored by
FIDE. The rules in Calvia were however extremely clear "2.10 Prior agreement
between players as to the result of individual games or of a match shall be
penalized with the utmost severity. If any such agreement is proved to have
taken place, the points apportioned by it shall be annulled and the matter
shall be referred to the Appeals Committee for the fixing of the penalty."
However there weren't any unusual betting patterns seen by Betsson (mentioned
in the letter) on the Georgia - Armenia match and the amount of money was
pretty small. Its certainly the case that in Olympiads teams as a whole have
agreed 2-2 draws in the past with no censure at all (and these really do annoy
me as they tend to be potentially the most exciting matches and in these days
of betting surely should also be explicitly banned as I'm pretty sure the teams
don't think them wrong) and there looks to be at least one case of that in the
recent Olympiad.
30.10.2004 Attn: Mr. I. Leong Chief Arbiter of the 36th Chess Olympiad
Dear Sir,
Following my conversation with Mr. Mena - Chief Arbiter of the men
section, before the beginning of the last round, I hereby apply to you with an
urgent request, to check deeply the course of events in the match between
Georgia and Armenia.
Few hours before the match we have heard numerous rumors about a
possibility of an agreement in advance between the mentioned teams, including
extremely strange odds on the outcome of the game in the
Internet(www.betsson.com). However, we didn´t believe in such a thing to
happen in such an important event, despite all the rumors around. These rumors
were reinforced by the fact that the team of Georgia didn´t include their
two first boards, which is Absolutely unique case in the last round.
Therefore, I approached Mr. Mena before the beginning of the games and
informed him about the facts. Mr. Mena was awared of the facts but
understandably didn´t take any actions.
The progress of the games verified our suspicions, as 3 Georgian
players lost one after another in a very strange way and quite quickly, clearly
not according to their usual level of play.
Though Georgian team felt down deeply, the players themselves were just
smiling and even joking around.
I think this situation must be investigated, as the outcome of this
match had a huge impact on the final results of Olympiad.
Hence, we require to establish very urgently a special commitee to
check all the events regarding the match:
1. List of players 2. The possibility of an agreement in advance 3. The
professional level of the games
Your sincerly, Innon Boim President of the Israel Chess Federation
CC: Fide President Fide General Secretary Chairman of the organizing
commitee

Miroslav Radojcic Book
Miroslav ("Miro") Radojcic who died in 2000 was one of Yugoslavia's
most renowned political journalists for their paper Politika. During the 1960s
he worked out of the UN in New York as Politika's foreign correspondent to the
US, and later in the 1970s he was assigned the same post for London. But he was
also a popular figure in the chess arena, both as a player (he was a Yugoslav
National Master) and writer on chess, including a long- running column in the
American magazine Chess Review titled,
Bruce Monson bamonson@pcisys.net is writing a book with Yugoslav author
Dimitry Bjelica on a book commemorating Radojcic's life and hopes that people
who knew Miro will read about this effort on TWIC and contact him with
information they may have about him, particularly unusual or funny stories,
witty quotes, or other interesting anecdotes.
All those who have something to offer will receive mention in the
credits, and those who have substantive material to offer (e.g., extended or
multiple narrative accounts, scans of photos and other Radojcic-related
memorabilia, etc.) will receive a free copy of the book.

Hastings Chess Congress
The Hastings Chess Congress takes place 28th December 2004 to 9 January
2005 and has a new format. The Hastings Premier and Challengers are combined
into one knockout tournament. Let us imagine 120 players enter for the event
which finishes 6th January. Then 60 players go forward from the first round,
with 4 lucky losers. These 64 players play a second round of knockout. The 56
losers play in the Challengers Swiss. The 64 players continue in one game
knockouts until there are 8 players left. These 8 play in the Premier of 2 game
knockouts. All players knocked out will be contracted to play in the Swiss
Challengers, except for the losing finalists.
Players when knocked out will carry forward their score in the standard
play games. Of course White would have been a big advantage. Thus White will
have 65 minutes and Black 95 in which to make all their moves, with the
addition of one minute per move cumulatively from the first. Where games are
drawn, ties will be resolved first by blitz games, failing that an Armageddon
play-off. Players will be able to gain title results from either event. The
event will be part of the Association of Chess Professionals GP.
The weekend tournament takes place 7-9 January.
