My thanks to Alexsander Martynkov, Pablo Sierra, Peter Svidler, George
Mirijanian, V.Saravanan, Laszlo Nagy, Zenón Franco Ocampos, David
Clayton, Valery Maes, Bent Kølvig, Nerea Mauleon, Viktor Bologan,
Gérard Demuydt, Frits Agterdenbos, Doug Bake, Tom Skovgaard, Peter
Karrer, Varlam Vepkhvishvili and everyone else who helped with the issue.
After starting with 0/2 Topalov got himself back into contention going
into the final round of the Essent tournament. But there he lost to Judit
Polgar who along with Shakhriyar Mamedyarov scored 4.5/6 and the results of
their careers. Another player with a 2900+ result this week was Lenier
Dominguez whose 8/9 was a point and a half clear of second place Vassily
Ivanchuk (who played to his rating). The Bundesliga started this weekend, the
finals of the Spanish Team Championships take place this week and the Tal
Memorial just after that. Its been known this category XX event has been
organised for a while but the organisers haven't really publicised it. It
should be great and hopefully there will be a website to do it justice.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

The Mihail Tal Memorial will take place November 5th-19th 2006 (Starts
on the 6th (opening on the 5th), 3-rest-3-rest-3)
The main event is a Category XX round robin with: Levon Aronian, Peter
Svidler, Peter Leko, Alexei Shirov, Boris Gelfand, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov,
Magnus Carlsen, Alexander Morozevich, Alexander Grischuk and Ruslan Ponomariov.
Then there will be two days of blitz qualifiers followed by a 16-player
blitz event - 10 from the main event (maybe not 10 in fact, as it clashes with
the Bundesliga) plus some qualifiers. Prize fund - $100K for the round robin
and $100K for the blitz.
The http://russiachess.ru has
published details about the event but there still hasn't been an official
announcement as far as I know or anything about an official site.
The Spanish Team Championship 2006 División of Honor takes place
in Olite, 6th-10th September 2006 (Group 1). San Sebastián, 13th-17th
September 2006 (Group 2) and Lugo 3th-4th November 2006 (Final).
Group 1 saw the two favourites Intel Tiendas UPI (Ivanchuk, Radjabov,
Vallejo Pons, Bruzon, Volokitin, Eljanov, Illescas Cordoba etc) and
Reverté Albox (Dreev, Krasenkow, Rustemov, Movsesian, Sutovsky etc)
qualify for the final weekend.
Group 2 saw Linex Magic (Aronian, Morozevich, Ponomariov, Shirov,
Karjakin, Sargissian, Rublevsky etc) and Ajoblanco Cuna de Dragones (Svidler,
Adams, Mamedyarov, Jakovenko, Harikrishna, Timofeev etc) progress to the final
weekend.
Incidently the Spanish Chess Federation has both a very clear website
(below) and sent out a nice press release with each round.

The Belgian League 2006-7 has started. The first two rounds took place
on the 1st and 22nd October 2006. Valery Maes reports that the fight for the
title will be very interesting this year while the reigning Champion of the
last years Eynatten has changed its policy with no top GMs this time. Youth
will be given a chance to play and both their teams are planned to be of equal
strength. Maybe later third place will become an option for one of them.
(European Championship qualification).

Kramnik - Deep Fritz
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

During the entire period of the match the Art and Exhibition Hall will
