A huge amount of chess this week including the French Championship won
by Joel Lautier and a stage of the Spanish Team Championship including Aronian
and Gelfand. Elsewhere its probably the final couple of weeks of the summer
tournaments throughout Europe but especially in Spain.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

The American Continental Championship took place in Buenos Aires
5th-16th August, 2005. Lazaro Bruzon won with 8.5/11.
The ChessBase
story on the playoff and Gaston Needleman seems to have less to it than it
first seems see
Chessninja.
Read also Gilberto Milos' comments:
http://www.milos.com.br/xadrez/index.htm.
But it all worked out well for the young player as he will be nominated for the
World Cup by the FIDE President. http://www.fide.com/news.asp?id=782
I thought I'd checked the games against standings last week but it turns
out I hadn't. I give all the games again as there were many mistakes in the
results.

Hamarat Challenge Match
The ICCF World Champion Tunc Hamarat (AUT) who has never lost a single
game with White, has challenged the "Rest of the World" to a friendly 2-game
match. He will have White in both games. The games (one will start with 1.e4
and one with 1.d4) will be played on the ICCF Webserver and started on 10th
February 2005 with the rule "10 moves/70 days".
The players on the "Rest of the World" team will vote on each move. The
move receiving the most votes will be selected. Should 2 or more moves receive
the same number of votes, the "Rest of the World" will be given 2 more voting
days to decide between the tied moves. Participation in this event is open to
all players who pay an entry fee of 5 EUR or $7.00 US dollars via their
National CC Federation or the ICCF Direct Entry (DE) option. All fees collected
will be transferred to the ICCF Development Fund. The money will be used
primarily for development and system support of the ICCF WebChess Server. It
will be possible to join the "Rest of the World" team at any stage of the game.
The games may be seen "live" by all players and other observers at
