My thanks to Goran Tomic, F. Gasanov, Miklos Orso, Mehrdad
Pahlevanzadeh, Leonid Galperin, SS Quah, Andrea Malfagia, Greg Shahade, Arvind
Aaron, Urcan Olimpiu, Frank Palm, George Mirijanian and everyone else who
helped with the issue.
The FIDE World Championship is rapidly heading to an early conclusion.
Vesselin Topalov leads by two points with four rounds to go. Topalov started
with an amazing 6.5/7. He has drawn the last three rounds bu t no-one has
approached his score and Viswanathan Anand is 2.5 points behind and surely out
of it. Peter Svidler is surely the only player who can conceivably catch
Topalov but even that looks an outside bet. They meet in round 12.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

George Mirijanian reports: The 72nd Greater Boston Open took place
1st-2nd October 2005 at the University of Massachusetts-Boston in Dorchester,
Mass., USA. Two sexagenarians tied for first place with scores of 3.5-0.5. They
were national master Avraam Pismennyy, 68, of Lynn, Mass., and U.S. Chess
Federation-rated expert Leonid Tkach, 66, of Amherst, Mass. The Massachusetts
Chess Association-sponsored tournament had a disappointing turnout of only 35
players in four sections and was directed by New England's top director, Robert
Messenger of Nashua, New Hampshire. He was assisted by Kenneth Ballou of
Framingham, Mass. Complete crosstables are available at

I can't find any information on the Linares tournament this year. I
understand it may be a split event between Linares in Spain and Linares in
Mexico and might be a bit weaker than normal because of this. Hard information
including dates would be welcome.
The European Club Cup took place September 18th-24th 2005. I gave all
the games available to me last week. Andrea Malfagia has done a tremendous job
producing a final version of the bulletin. Two games are incomplete:
Karlsson-Portisch (SK Alkaloid Skopje vs. Csuti-Hydroc.Zalaegerszeg, Round 3
and Efimenko-Kurajica (Werder Bremen vs. Zeljeznicar Chess Club, round 7).
