My thanks to Larry Parr, Bjarke Kristensen, Adan Bonilla , Damir Medak

Otto Borik, Bob Wade, Tom Crain, ICC, Einar Karlsson
Sam Sloan, Anjo Anjewierden and Shay Bushinsky.
This has to be the absolutely maddest issue of all time.
The top 4 or 5 items would have lead in a normal week.
The removal of Campomanes as FIDE President is obviously the
top news story however. Right up until the deadline I was
still receiving material (Shay tells me that GM Victor Korchnoi
and Alon Greenfeld are playing in Beer-Sheba (1.5 each) and
has sent some games from his Blitz tournament reported in a
previous TWIC, Ian Rogers also sent me games on the deadline.)
There is the US and Icelandic Champs, Zonal Tournaments and a whole
host of other strong event. Normally the Belgrade tournament
would be tops, please I need the games, so if anyone is getting
the, pass them on, but the 14 presented here give the impression
that this is probably one of the all time great events. There
are some stupendous games.
What do I think about Campomanes going?
It was a combination of "Where were you when Kennedy died" and
just the simple "YES!". Its been my belief that until Campomanes
went FIDE would simply decline at an increasingly rapid rate.
The first and correct step has been taken. It does not guarantee
that things will get better, but it does mean that there is a
chance. Stories coming out of Paris only reinforce this belief.
(see below). The new president is an unknown quantity I have
provided some information about him. There is no telling the
future, the next year is going to be exciting and unpredictable
I think.
As to the now dead FIDE PCA agreement. I was going to do a long
piece, including about what happens to the PCA (there is a really
very concerning story about how the PCA operates with money
told by Shirov in the latest NIC) and I shall return to this
issue hopefully. The FIDE rejection of the deal on the table
is correct.
So a little hurried issue (hopefully not noticably so) with
an amazing amount of news. I hope you enjoy this issue.

2) Campomanes ousted as FIDE President.
------------------------------------
[News based on postings by Larry Parr, Bjarke Kristensen
Rachel Lieberman and Donald Schultz amongst others.]
CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING PARIS
--------------------------------
On Sunday 19th of November at a FIDE Central Committee
meeting in Paris, A motion of no confidence in FIDE President
Florencio Campomanes and his whole team was passed 14 votes
to 12. The motion was proposed by Phil Haley of Canada and
backed by Fanueil Adams of the United States and Egon Ditt
of Germany.
Although the vote seemed close Campomanes and the other five
members of his team all had votes and of course backed
themselves.
The case against Campomanes was backed up with evidence from
a Filipino Government investigation of the Manila Olympiad.
It appears that Campomanes signed checks for various Olympiad
expenses against undenominated funds. (this evidence was
presented by Norwegian lawyer Norwegian lawyer Morten Sand)
Also Kurt Jungwirth presented a "devastating" (according to one
observer) report about election irregularities during the
1994 Moscow Olympiad. In one particularly glaring case
Campomanes used the Philippine vote himself voted and the
Brunei proxy (which was given to the Philippine delegate not
Campomanes) he was not entitled to do either of these things.
This, of course was enough for him to get through the crucial
vote allowing him to stand.
An immediate attempt to declare the decision illegal was made by
Filipino Casto Abundo. This lead to a walkout from the meeting
by the US and some other countries. After an hour the meeting
reconvened and the decision stood.
The decision could now only be reversed by the FIDE General Assembly
which took place the following day.
FIDE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
---------------------
Campomanes chaired the assembly but indicated his intension to
resign at the end of the General Assembly.
On day two there was further FIDE News. It appears that FIDE only
has 150,000 Swiss francs in its coffers (about $135,000). Furthermore
last June as part of a pensions deal Campomanes was paid nearly
200,000 Swiss francs and G. Makropoulos 30,000. The calcuations
that produced this payout mean that rough calculations mean that
Campomanes was paid over $100,000 a year. This does not include
the expenses which according to some sources even exceeded this
payment.
63 Nations are said to have threatened to withdraw from FIDE unless
full democracy is returned. Vice President Ghobash stated that he
believed that he should be next in line if Campomanes does carry
out his threat to resign. It is dismissed by the supporters of
Kouatly who now appear to have near control of FIDE.
The US had already made it clear that they wanted FIDE Presidential
elections next year rather than 1998. It is unclear who now runs
FIDE until then.
The FIDE General Assembly upheld the recommendation of the Central
Committee to reject the PCA-FIDE agreement as it stands.
The Central Committee recommendation is as follows:
Following the Moscow Congress, good will and a lot of effort by
FIDE's officers have been put into trying to achieve agreement with the PCA.
It is regretted that the current state of negotiations, represented by
the draft set of regulations sent to FIDE by the PCA on 19.11.95 is
unsatisfactory.
Beside some general points, which might be resolved, there are two
principal difficulties:
1) The proposed match regulations are not equal for both players and
therefore unacceptable;
2) FIDE would be renouncing sovereignty over the World Championship.
Therefore therefore the Central Committee recommends that the General
Assembly reject the agreement as it stands.
Willie ICKLICKI - Egon DITT - Jaime SUNYE NETO - Morten SAND
This recommendation was accepted by the FIDE assembly.
New Presidential Team
---------------------
FIDE held elections in the early hours of November 24th. They
elected the following team until the end of 1996. The assmembly
vote was 95-3 and they set up the elections for late next year.
New FIDE President: Krisan Iljumzhinov
Deputy-presidents: Kouatly (France) and Gorbash (Arabian Emirates)
Vice-president Morten Sand
Chairman of the Presidential Board: Florencio Campomanes
[An official list should be available somewhere, these need
confirmation especially the vice/deputy presidents]
The new post created for Campomanes was at his suggestion and
seems to have no status or money attached to it. I presume
that it is there so he can say they didn't just throw him out.
The Russian Chess Federation, in spite of Kasparov's known
dealings with Iljumzhinov spoke against him. They however
disappeared during the voting, presumably they need to know
whose side they are on. Andrei Makarov and Iljumzhinov are
reported not to get on. A letter from President Yeltsin
in support of Iljumzhinov seemed to settle the matter.
"The Karpov-Kamsky match has a sponsor in Montreal and apparently
will take place in 1996. FIDE formed a Unity Commission with the
following members: Ralf Liniger (Swiss), John Warlick (U.S.
Virgin Islands), S. Garcia (Cuba), Omuku (Nigeria), Israel Gelfer
(Israel), Giorgios Makropoulos (Greece), Morten Sand (Norway) and
E. Steven Doyle (USA). The purpose of this commission is to
arrange a unification match in 1996 between the winner of Karpov-
Kamsky and Kasparov." [Larry Parr]
The FIDE verification committee reported on Campomanes' pension
payments. It seems that they were over half the amount in the
FIDE treasury. They seemed to regard them as unconstitutional
and the large expenses he has claimed my even be illegal.
FIDE treasurer Willy Iclicki (there will be new elections for
this post late next year) believes them to be constitutional.
The conclusion of the committe is that probable overpayment
has occured and that money should be returned.
New FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov
-------------------------------------
So we have a new FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. He is not
a man totally unknown to me. There was an article in Sputnik
(a Russian Media Digest) in March 1993. The article was called
"The Kalmyk who bought Kasparov's crown" and it describes
both his life and how he came to buy the Korloff Trophy which
was the trophy from the World Championships of 1990. This
was sold by Kasparov to aid those who were damaged by the
unrest in Baku. Families of the dead received 3000 roubles
each. Ilyumzhinov transfered 10 Million Roubles for the trophy
to the fund. The article says that Ilyumzhinov is a good
chess player.
"I remember how Garry and I sat in a suite of the Savoy Hotel
with one and a half kilograms of gold in front of us on the bed
... counting the diamonds. We counted them again and again,
very carefully. It turned out that instead of the 1,017 stones
there were five more - 1,022 in all .... I presume that this
was a special gift of the jewellers to the World Champion"
Larry Parr adds this week:
"The new president was known earlier as the person who purchased
Kasparov's jewel incrusted title trophy in 1990. Readers may
recall that a dispute over the value of the trophy led to public
discord between Kasparov and Kouatly. According to the PCA world
champion, GM Kouatly listed a value far in excess of the amount
ultimately paid for it. Apparently Kouatly stated its value at a
million dollars, although it fetched only about $250,000 in the
marketplace. Since the trophy was part of the winner's purse in
1990, its lower value meant a smaller payday than Kasparov had
expected. He reportedly donated the proceeds from its sale for
purposes of war relief."
The article says that Kirsan was expelled from the CPSU
(Communist Party) in 1988. There were 12 charges:
"they tried to frame me as a drug addict, a pimp, an alcoholic,
a foreign currency dealer, an agent of the Afghan intelligence
service ..."
He had reason to be afraid as some of the charges actually
had the death penalty attached to them.
In the Autumn of 1992 he was invited to run for the President
of Kalmykia, he was already a member of the Supreme Soviet
of the USSR. He won against 21 Candidates. He believes that
rich people should be the representatives in Parliament as
it is a guard against corruption. The State is Oil rich.
About his fortune at that time:
"When I studied at the Institute [as a student] I thought that
one million was big money, not to mention 100 million. Now I
have in circulation sums many hundreds of times bigger and
I have lost interest in this arithmatic."
His friends and business:
The Oppenheimers in the US, Christian Petrosian (the French
Caviar "King" with whom he does business), the Duponts from
the States, Chuon Ruyen (from Korea one of the ten richest
people in the World and with whom he has contracts for oil
refining and production in Kalmykia) He mentions selling
perfume and cartoons, both with connections in France.
This was all 3 years ago. Quite where he stands now I don't
know. We do know that Karpov was close to him during the
elections and the above suggest he knows Kasparov reasonably
well too.
3) Investabank Tournament Belgrade Yugoslavia
-------------------------------------------
This tournament has had some of the outstanding games
of the year, judging just from the very few that I
have managed to get hold of. I would be very greatful
if someone can some up with all the games.

Contempt would not be a strong enough word to describe
his treatment of Adams. Just like Spassky at his best.

5) Icelandic National Championships by Einar Karlsson
---------------------------------------------------
This is written before the last round has been played in the 1995 Icelandic
Championship 1995. Stefansson leads by 1 point and needs only a draw
against Hjartarson to secure the title for the first time. I asume that
Hjartarson will do everything in his power to win the game and therefore
force a match for the title. Hjartarson had the flu earlier this week
and has not recovered fully from it. He had to adjorn his round 6 game
because of the illness and only managed a draw against Karlsson, Agust S
when it was played on Wednisday, the second tournament holiday.
Since the last round starts at 17:00 GMT today (25. November) it will probably
not make it into TWIC this week but if there is an early result in the main game
between Hjartarson and Stefansson I will post it to Mark and we will see what
he can do. Last round results and game will appear on http://www.vks.is/skak
sometime on Monday.
