My thanks to Tarjei J. Svensen, Goran Urosevic, Thomas Henrich, Mogens
Nielsen, Ching Kim Lye, Doug Bake, Frits Agterdenbos, Frank Quisinsky, Emmanuel
Variniac, George Mirijanian, Lou Caruana and everyone else who helped with the
issue.
The Aerosvit GM tournament finished with a bit of a whimper with all but
one game being drawn in the final two rounds. All of which suited Sergei
Rublevsky who won the event with 7.5/9 and a performance over 2800. The new
rating list for July showed the damage of his Olympiad and other performances
as he lost 20 points but this will do quite a bit to repair the damage. The
list sees Veselin Topalov consolidate his number one spot and indeed overtake
Garry Kasparov's last rating of 2812 by a point. Apart from that the main
stories are surely about the new generation of chess players. 24 year old Levon
Aronian continues his rise as he added points to bring him closer to number two
Viswanathan Anand. There are also two players born in 1990 rising fast up the
list, Sergey Karjakin at 27 in the world and Magnus Carlsen at 34 they are so
far ahead of their contemporaries that the next youngest in the top 100 were
born in 1987 and they are numbers three and four in the whole junior list also
behind Teimour Radjabov and Pentala Harikrishna (born in 1987 and 1986
respectively). The summer is here in Europe and no doubt we'll start to see
more and more holiday events.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

Just one rating list after taking top spot in the world after Kasparov's
retirement meant that his rating became inactive Veselin Topalov has now
exceeded Kasparov's final rating of 2812. He added 9 points after winning the
MTel Masters in Sofia. Viswanathan Anand lost a few rating points at that event
and a lot at the Olympiad where he managed only 50%. The rise of Levon Aronian
the youngest player in the top 10 and the only player born in the 1980s
continues as he gained 21 points in the period with his performances inthe
Russian Team Championships and the Olympiad. Vladimir Kramnik's return at the
Olympiad gained him 14 points and projects him back to number four in the
world. Michael Adams returns to the top 10 gaining 12 points. Poor recent form
has lost Ruslan Ponomariov 17 points and he drops from 6 to 13. Shakhriyaz
Mamedyarov gained 23 points to rise to 12 in the world. David Navarra rises
even further from 50 to 14 in the world after gaining a massive 61 points. Gata
Kamsky's Olympiad and MTel performances means that he gains 26 points. Sergey
Karjakin rises from 45 to 27 in the world, and his rival Magnus Carlsen from 63
to 34, both were born in 1990, after them the youngest players in the top 100
were born in 1987. Gabriel Sargissian is the top re-entry into the list rising
from 2612 to 2667. Another surprise was FM Vladimir Afromeev's entry into the
list with a rating of 2620 gaining 62 points from only 14 games to become the
only non-GM in the list, especially surprising as he was born in 1954. 2619 is
the mark to get into the top 100. It is surely well beyond the time to change
the mark at which a GM norm is set (2600) which is a performance which clearly
wouldn't get you anywhere near the top 100 (when it was originally set it was a
performance of Candidates class which is now probably over 2700).

The Midnight Sun Chess Challenge took place in Tromsø, Norway
June 24th - July 2nd 2006. Sergei Shipov took clear first with 7.5/9 half a
point clear of Magnus Carlsen (who he defeated in round 7) and Leif Erlend
Johannessen. I give all the games again as there were a few naming errors last
week.

The 15th Kavala Open takes place 4th-11th August 2006. There is one
(traditional) Open Tournament, which is at the same time the Greek
Championships. This year they decided to form two groups with very low elo
players competing separately, so as not to create great elo differences and
discourage high-ranked players from participating (and being paired with a 1400
player, when a game loss, or draw might mean an "elo catastrophy") on a swiss
tournament such as this one. This separation of low elos and the bigger ones is
done for the first time in Greece, previously all competed in one tournament.
The 1st group players will be eligible for Greek Open titles in men's and
women's competitions.
Entries must be sent by fax to + 30.2510.226871 or by e-mail :
vliog@tee.gr, not later than July 24th and should include full name, ELO
Rating, telephone and dates of arrival and departure. Telephone communication :

Vladimir Kramnik vs. Deep Fritz Match Announced
Vladimir Kramnik will play the ChessBase computer program Deep Fritz in
a 6 game match 25th November - 5th December 2006 in the German’s Art and
Exhibition Hall in Bonne. Kramnik stands to win a prize of $1 Million US for a
win in the match doubling his starting fee.
Asked how he estimates his chances, Kramnik reacted cautiously: "Fritz
examines millions of moves per second. It is extraordinarily difficult to play
against such a calculating monster. Right from the start you are walking on a
very narrow ridge, and you know that any inattentiveness will be your downfall.
It is a scientific experiment and I will have to fight very hard for my
chance." The WCC is being organized by Universal Event Promotion (UEP), in
cooperation with the Art and Exhibition Hall.
Schedule: Game 1: Saturday 25.11.2006 16h Game 2: Monday 27.11.2006 16h
Game 3: Wednesday 29.11.2006 16h Game 4: Friday 01.12.2006 16h Game 5: Sunday
03.12.2006 16h Game 6: Tuesday 05.12.2006 16h During the entire period of the
match the Art and Exhibition Hall will offer a varied program.
