My thanks to John Saunders, Bognar Csaba, Gary Suffield, Andrea
Malfagia, Russell Miller, Miklos Orso, Fred Lucas, Michael Grøne

Massimo Megale, Sergei Movsesian and everyone else who helped with the
issue.
The FIDE World Championship has seen its first four rounds. So far it
has been tremendous. This has been serious chess, played at serious time limits
for serious stakes. FIDE should have done this years ago and should definitely
do it again, if not as a World Title Tournament then certainly as a final
Candidates event. Vesslin Topalov has started with 3.5/4 and he nearly beat
Viswanathan Anand too. Anand was tied with Topalov before round 4 when he lost
to current FIDE Champion Kasimdzhanov. Anand has had black in three of his
first four games so he still has chances to make up the ground. In second right
now is Peter Svidler and a test of his aspirations will be the game he starts
as I write this with Topalov. I for one can't wait.
Hope you enjoy this issue.
Mark

Bill Townsend reports: Former World Championship challenger GM Gata
Kamsky was the winner of the 127th New York State Championship which was held
Sept. 2 to 5. Kamsky finished with 51/2 out of 6, besting the rest of the field
by a full point. Kamsky's sole draw was against GM Ildar Ibragimov in round 5.
Ibragimov, with 41/2-11/2 was the event's only other undefeated player, but he
gave up draws earlier to FM Ilya Figler and GM Nick De Firmian. Also tying for
second with 41/2-11/2 were FM Igor Nikolayev and FM Daniel Shapiro. Shapiro
took the prize for top player rated under 2300.
Seven players tied for fifth with 4-2: GM Nick De Firmian, IM Justin
Sarkar, FM Ilya Figler, FM Boris Reichstein, Elizabeth Vicary, Michael
Ellenbogen and Alec Getz. This last named player is only 11 years old, and had
an amazing tournament. Rated only 2016 at the start of the event, young Getz
defeated 3 masters and was among the leaders until stopped by Kamsky in the
final round.
The event was held at Kutsher's Country Club, outside of Monticello,
NY, near the New York-Pennsylvania border. Turnout was practically identical to
last year's event which was something of a miracle considering the spike in gas
prices in the U.S. this summer, and the fact there was a fire at the previously
announced venue less than ten days before the tournament's start that forced
organizers to relocate at the last minute.
As of this writing the tournament crosstables are not yet posted, but
they should soon be available at the Continental Chess website:

Gaston Needleman gave a different version of his win than the one I
published last week at:
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2647.
I think we can presume his is correct. Thanks to Yusof Yasnain for pointing
this out.
The European Club Cup took place September 18th-24th 2005. I gave all
the games available to me last week. Andrea Malfagia has since been working
hard on the bulletin and made a large number of additions and improvements. I
will put a final file in TWIC next week as there are still a few problem games
and after that you should delete ones given in previous TWIC issues. I will put
the new file on the TWIC front page some time this week and perhaps some of the
missing and incomplete games will turn up before I have a final try at a master
version.

Seagaard ChessReviews
Soren Sogaard announces that his site Seagaard ChessReviews will no
longer be updated.
His letter: Dear reader! This is the last "newsletter" you receive from
Seagaard ChessReviews. I have run the site for 5½ years, but now I no
longer have the time to keep running the site. I have looked for sponsors for
some time now, but I didn't succeed. Without these sponsors it is not easy to
run the site. It was a hard decision, but the site, products and reviews will
still be there for you - I just stop reviewing the products that I receive. If
I receive products in the future, I will still store them in the database.
However, I will writ eto the publishers that the site is closing so don't count
on a lot of new products ;-) Thanks to all the people who supported me during
the years. I am happy that more than 320 people now subscribes to the
