Kjeken, Jon Speelman and Jonathan Tisdall. Another of those issue where time available did not match the time required. Calcutta took a very long time to process and Anjo Anjewierden did the processing of Bern. This actually allowed me to produce the issue! I don't have a chess match on Saturday next week so hopefully a few issues can be caught up with. There were a couple of very interesting documentaries on BBC TV and radio on the FIDE President that I will report on next week. Hope you enjoy this issue Mark 2) Zsuzsa Polgar is the New Women's World Champion ----------------------------------------------- Jaen ESP (ESP), I-II 1996. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Polgar, Zsuzsa g HUN 2550 0 = = 1 1 = 1 1 = = 1 0 1 . . . . . . . 8.5 2640 Xie Jun g CHN 2530 1 = = 0 0 = 0 0 = = 0 1 0 . . . . . . . 4.5 2440 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In spite of a late scare Zsuzsa Polgar duely shut out Xie Jun to take the title. Time constraints prevent a fuller talk on this achievement which I will talk about next week. One more game was required to take the title last week and this duely came on Tuesday. 3) Bern chess-festival 1996. ------------------------- My thanks to Jo Zahner for the games and to Anjo Anjewierden for processing them. With such a large event it was very difficult. By the way Anjo points out as did others that Hallsdall is the name of the event not Hallsberg as I said in my correction. (I actually got Hallsberg into my brain.) as the correction said it IS in Sweden not Norway. Anyhow on to Jo Zahner on Bern. The tournament was the 10th event and so we tried to organise something special beside the traditional Open tournament. The best Swiss players GM Victor Kortschnoi and GM Lucas Brunner played a 6 round match. Round 1-3 were played in Zurich (both players play the Swiss team championship in the Zurich club), Round 4-6 were played in Bern. Kortschnoi had a handicap... In the week before the match started, he has broken his right leg. He was on the way to go to skiing (nordique) in Engelberg, when he fall down on the street and broke his leg! But this was no problem for him, he never thought to cancel the match and the participation in the Bern tournament. Even he played the simultaneous in wheel chair!!! It was a simultaneous with clocks against 7 players (+6, -1). The incredible Victor! The traditional Open was played with 191 participants and saw a sensation. Not one of the favourite GM's like Tukmakov, Sokolov or Mikalchishin won this event, but the Swiss player Hans-Juerg Kaenel. He is 44 years old and got the IM-title only last year. It is the first time in the last years that a Swiss player won one of our big Swiss Opens. In the last round Sokolov played a short draw (7 moves) with Mikhalchishin. They didn't expect that Kaenel will win against Bellon. And so Kaenel won the tournament outright. The Rehhag-Volksbank-Cup was organised only for this 10th jubilee. And it was a triumph of the youth. The youngster Sadler (born in 74), Almasi (76), Markowski (75) and the "older" Gurevich (56) were qualified for the semi-final, where Almasi and Markowski won. A big surprise happened in the second round, in which Kortschnoi lost again Gurevich (his former secundant) after having a winning position and Epishin lost again Kengis (also after having a winning position). ****************************************************************** INTERNATIONALE SCHACHTURNIERE BERN 1996 I.

He was kind enough to send me the games from the event and the tables that go with it. There were a number of problems with the file of the event which took some time to sort out. I have worked through the games as far as possible to get the ratings and players names correct. I have also worked through the top player's results (as shown in the table below) and so hope that the games for them will all show the correct results. I did not have time to work through the entire event.

He in addition added that Jaan Narva helped him out in typing in the games from the event. The event was interesting in the B tournament because of the game Westerinen-Liiva which followed a suggestion of Tony Miles in the King's Gambit. It started 1. e2 e4 2. f4 Nc6 3. Nf3 f5!? The next big event will be the simultaneous match between Jaan Ehlvest and the best correspondence players in Estonian. 6) Arnold Eikrem 1st April 1932 - 11th Feb 1996 ----------------------------------------------- This is based on the obituary written by Johs. Kjeken the General Secretary of the Norwegian Chess Federation. My thanks to Jonathan Tisdall for translating it and passing it on. Arnold Eikrem's whole life was devoted to chess. He was Norway's first ever participant in the World Junior Championships, that was in the 1951 event held in Birmingham. Later that year he was to organised his first International Tournament. This was Trondheim over the Christmas 1951/52. The winner of this Junior event was chess legend Bent Larsen. Eikrem started as a member of the Arbeidernes Chess Club but in 1952 he left to found the "Sjakklubben Jarl" club which eventually must have become the most active chess club in the World at organising event. His strong side was the sheer energy of his organisation. He was President of the Norwegian Chess Federation twice from 1957-59 and from 1970-79 and he always did what he considered best for chess in that country. There is also no doubt that there is near shock in the Norwegian chess community at his passing. This is in part due to his weaknesses, budgets and economics were not his strong side and over the years he took a lot of criticism over this. However the evergy to continue in spite of monetary constraints is probably not something that can be easily replaced. Achievements of his Presidencies include the introduction of the ELO system to Norway, the founding of the Norwegian Grand prix (including the soon to be started VISA Nordic Grand Prix which was a long term goal of his.) He also saw that the Norsk Sjakkblad chess magazine started appearing regularly. An International Arbiter since 1969 he was active both in Norway and abroad, especially in Iceland. He was appointed member of honour of the NCF in 1979 when he stepped down as President in 1979. The event for which he will forever be connected in International terms is the Gausdal Hojfjellshotell events. Starting with the Norwegian Open Championships in 1970 it built to a series of festivals held every year. In 1976 a July/August festival was launched, then to April/May and January events. Mostly these consisted of two GM-events and several minor tournaments. The number of title norms achieved over the year were practically legion. That this was achieved in such a small country as Norway was only due to the energy and will of one man. The product of this energy as the festivals pass their 25th anniversary began to reep rewards for Norway. Jonathan Tisdall and Einar Gausel gained their GM titles mostly at these Gausdal events and in the final event he directed (from his sickbed) he saw Rune Djurhuus win and secure his final norm to become Norway's 4th Grandmaster. Energy and enthusiasm for the game and its organisation were his great achievements. Hundreds of players from abroad have competed in these events and taken advantage of the skiing that was always on hand in Gausdal. He will be greatly missed, and it would be a terrible shame if his achievements were lost for want of a replacement. 7) BOOKS, BOOKS and more of them (6) --------------------------------- by Bertrand Weegenaar Since the last Books arrived some time has elapsed, but in the last two weeks new books they have arrived in piles at my doorstep, mainly from England and Germany. Two books got to me late I have to admit, and they will take a lot of time to review, which they deserve. Very new but certainly reviewed in the next Books, but this time a very good Nunn-classic deserves special attention: Opening The Main Line King's Indian, John Nunn & Graham Burgess, Batsford Special Der Laufer war eine Dame, Gerhard Josten, Rochade Europa and for those who don't read German: The modern chess self-tutor, David Bronstein, Cadogan The Main Line King's Indian, John Nunn & Graham Burgess, Batsford 1996, 320 p (ISBN 0-7134-7835-7) Price: UK Pounds17.99 Although I only read the Forword (which shows the growing appreciation for Week in Chess by professional chess-writers) and skipped through the book in a lazy chair, it's impressive. Ladies and gentlemen this is just the first volume of two. The second part is schaduled for end of the year concentrating on the main lines with Nd2 and Ne1. (For those who have to save for buying chessbooks: for the autumn The Complete Najdorf is announced) To see the enormous amount of work and knowledge which has been put in this work: more then 50 pages of analysis, games and commentaries on 9.b4 the Bayonet (van Wely won't be to pleased with this). Batsford even used a smaller lettertype then they normally do, the authors seldomly give the complete games (only when the game is of historic importance) to save space for the real things that they want to tell. In the next few weeks the chessboard will put on the table, the telephone plugged from the wall and my lovely girlfriend can sleep out till late in the morning (brunch will be supplied) because I play the King's Indian. Der Laufer war eine Dame, Gerhard Josten, Rochade Europa 1995, 160 p. (ISBN 3- 920748-31-X) Price : DM 9.80 (text completely in German) This book is a new theory about the history of chess, which by the autor is more then 4000 old. The autor is an amateur chessplayer and an amateur chesshistorien who has dedicated lots of time to make his case, supported by maps, pictures etc. The story is very readable, but for a large group of you readers German will be a problem. Therefore I have the intention to contact the author to give his story in English, when possible in a forthcoming issue of Week in Chess. For those who like to read a good history book on chess, with a completely new view how are game has evolved: read it! Die neuen Schachsterne, Helmut Wieteck, Rochade Europa 1995, 160 p. (ISBN 3- 920748-25-5) Price : DM 9.80 (a lot of text in German) This book on rising chess stars was written during 1992. So the 40 players who are introduced for becoming chessstars in the future are now the world elite. Kamsky, Anand, Adams, Lautier, Salow, Ivanchuk, Gelfand, Benjamin etc. The author has added one chapter to his original manuscript on Kramnik, Ulibin, Topalow and Almasi. So the book is somewhat outdated (and of course a pity for the active German author), but the price is quit cheap for the 107 games of which a lot are annotated. Analogien auf dem Schachbrett Teil 2 Endspiel, Walter Haas, Rochade Europa 1995, 160 p. Price : DM 9.80 (Text in german) In this booklet the autor gives theoretical examples of endgame-types and study- movements (even by such great names as Lucena, Polario, Ponziani) and recent tournament practice in which the themes can be recognised. Items like forced temo, corners, stealmates, far opposition etc. are discussed. An interesting endgame book. Klassisches Nimzoindisch 4.Dc2, Norbert Heymann, Dreier Verlag 1995, 176 p. (ISBN 3-929376-32-6) Price : DM 26.80 To my great and still astonishing surprise a rebirth of 4.Qc2, the classical antidote against the Nimzoindian, isn't still happening. Oh yeah, Kasparow used it against Anand, but with 4...d5 Black neutralised the White set-up quit easily. In one year 4 books covering the complete scope of this line have been published while little has happened from theoretical point of view since 1990. Although with this book a disk with more then 1000 games can be ordered with some material after 1992, the main part of the book gives games from before 1992, and sip CC-material. (Therefore from recent CC-magazines I have added 7 great CC-games to this Books-issue, of which some hold interesting novelties and even there's one real beauty: A.Prystenko (CAN) - J.Purdy (Aus). This is a great game.) The book on the other hand gives a lot of material, but little new. Pirc Ufimzev Verteidigung Moderne Systeme, Helmuth Warzecha, Dreier Verlag 1995, 200 p. (ISBN 3-929376-15-6) Price : DM 21.80 The author presents with this book the third volume (the first two concentrated on the 3 pawn attack) in a series on the Pirc-opening. This book also links to his book on the Robatsch-defence. In this way of presenting material there is a disadvantage for the student because to get all material on a subject, he has to work through dozens of links in the book, even to other volumes. But otherwise the book would be of enormous volume. The modern systems presented are : 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6: variations without Nc3 (3.Bd3, f3 or Nd2), variations without Black fianchettoing (c6, Bg4 or e5). The third part of the book concentrates on lines with Bc4. A strange chapter in the book is on the Norwegian system/gambitline. After 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Nf6 3.e5 Nh5 4.Be2 d6 5.Bh5 gh5 6.Qh5 de5 7.Qe5 Rg8 sharp play arrises which looks plesent for White to me. I've added 4 games with this line to the gamepart. A disk with games for the CA-light database can be ordered for an extra 10DM Die Reti-Eroeffnung, Helmuth Warzecha, Dreier Verlag 1995, 212 p. (ISBN 3-929376- 16-4) Price : DM 24.80 This book is a ratatouille of systems because all line with 1.d4 or 1.Nf3 d5 leading to the Reti are systematicly shut out. (In the same serie by the same autor a book on 1...d5 has been published last year). Strangely lines like 1...e5? and 1...g5 get attention, but 1.Nf3 b5 should be Polish so hasn't had any attention? Furthermore the book has dozens of remarks to other openings, which isn't rare to the Reti. Besides 1.Nf3 lines with 1.c4 and 2.Nf3 (English Reti) and 1.b3 2.Nf3 (Larsen Reti) are discussed. But still 206 pages with lots of material and a very extensive 26 page coverage of the Lisitsin gambit 1.Nf3 f5 2.e4. A disk with games for the CA-light database can be ordered for an extra 10DM The Giuoco Piano, E.Gufeld & O.Stetsko, Batsford 1996, 160 p. (ISBN 0-7134-7802- 0) Price : UK Pounds12.99 Well known grandmaster and Eduard Gufeld has teamed-up with theoretical expert Stetsko for a book on the Giuoco Piano. The setup in this book excludes 4.d4 leading to the Italian-positions. The White setup in this book concentrates on securing the centre with c3 and d3, and playing for the space on the queenside with b4, a4 etc. From my own experience this setup after Bc5 is difficult to play against, because it requeres strategic manoevring at which I'm not a big star. But in the hands of players like Karpov, Kramnik, Kortchnoi etc. this is a deadly weapon. As result of the hype created by Kasparov on the Evans-gambit, Batsford added 1 3th chapter to the book from the pen of Murrey Chandler on this topic. As result of these games and other by Shirov, new discoveries where made in ancient lines and new discoveries and test will be seen in the near future. Besides this chapter, in SchachArchiv's latest issue also a 26 pages long article on both the accepted and declined Evans was published. So food for thought. In this book 50 analysed games and deeply discussed openinglines can be found. Black players choosing to place there Bishop on c5 should be worried. The modern chess self-tutor, David Bronstein, Cadogan 1995, 148 p. (ISBN 1- 85744-136-2) Price : $17.95 Bronstein strikes again, with a highly readable and very entertaining book. He talks of the strenght of pieces and pawns, and talks about defence and attack, and gives away grandmaster secrets as if it costs nothing. And lots of small stories from his more then 50 years experiences. Did Kasparow read the original Russian script and followed the advice from page 96 :"If the author of this self- tutor was obliged to give only one opening recommendation to enthusiasts, then, without hesitating for a second I would say: play the Evans Gambit. The secret is that in this opening set-up you constantly have to parry mutual threats and create new ones, invent moves and endevour to guess your opponent's plan."? A book to enjoy with a brandy and a sigar, a chessboard and a laugh. Together with The Sorcerer's apprentice, thank you David for writing these works. Attacking the king, J.N.Walker, Cadogan 1996, 173 p. (ISBN 1-85744-127-3) Price : $17.95 In an earlier episode of Books I gave a book by this author for the novice chessplayer. This book has the intention of bringing attacking capabilities to novice players, and I must admit, it looks fun to play through this book and discover the possibilities that there are to go for the king. In several chapters, with analysis games and summaries at the end, Walker goes through items like fire-power, checkmate, attacking the king in the opening and Storming the fortress. 55 games showing exactly how to set up an attack! Unfortanetly the reader isn't to know from whom the examples in the book are. (Bobby Blunder against Unfortunate Opponent!?) Play chess combinations and sacrifices, David Levy, Cadogan 1996, 186 p. (ISBN 1-85744-112-5) Price : $17.95 This reprint of the 1980 gives two different chapters: How to play combinations and How to play sacrifices. On both topics guidelines are presented for example on how to create a back-rank attack, forks etc. Each chapter (15 in total, the 16th gives 10 analysed sacrifice games) gives dozens of diagrams where it "all happens". Sokolski booklet, Marek Trokenheim Price : 1 booklet $10, each additional booklet $5, all 10 booklets $40. Last Books (WIC #64) I gave some examples of magazines which have specialized in gambits, rare openings or even one opening. Marek Trokenheim from Sweden is what can be called an addict to the Sokolski, or by some called the Orang Utan: 1.b4. Besides organising continous theme-tournaments and special memory tournaments like the 3rd Karl Grund-Andrej Malysko Memorial (240 players participating), he also publishes booklets on different variations of the Sokolski. Every booklet contains dozens of games, analysed, systematicaly organized and well lay-out. For address, see list of publishers below, but it's worth your investment to have this surprise opening, well studied and documented on your repertoire. Booklet topics so far: 1. 1.b4 1...b5, 1...c5, 1...Nc6 2. 1.b4 e5 2.Bb2 f6 3.e4 Bb4 4.Bc4 Qe7 & 4...Ne7 3. 1.b4 d5 2.Bb2 Qd6 4. 1.b4 f5 2.Bb2 5. 1.b4 a5 6. 1.b4 e5 2.Bb2 Bb4 3.Be5 Nf6 4.c4 Nc6 7. 1.b4 e5 2.Bb2 Bb4 3.Be5 Nf6 4.c4 0-0 8. 1.b4 e5 2.Bb2 Bb4 3.f4 9. 1.b4 d5 2.Bb2 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.b5 c5 10. 1.b4 e6 ========================================================================== Adresses Batsford Ltd 4 Fitzhardinge Street London W1H 0AH England E-mail: 100617.2702@Compuserve.com (Graham Burgess, managing editor) Cadogan Books London House Parkgate Road London SW11 4NQ England E-mail: chess@cadogan.demon.co.uk Also distributing for Pickard&Sons, Grandmaster Publishing, Hypermodern Press and Hays Publishing in Europe Chess Enterprises 107 Crosstree Road Moon Township, PA 15108-2607 USA E-mail: Dudley@Robert Morris.EDU Drukkerij van Spijk P.O.Box 210 NL-5900 AE Venlo Netherlands Dreier Verlag Reinhold Dreier Seydlitzstrasse 13 D-67061 Ludwigshafen Deutschland Interchess P.O.Box 3053 NL-1801 GB Alkmaar Netherlands E-mail: nic@xs4all.nl WWW: http://www.xs4all.nl/~nic/ S1 Editrice Via Porrettana 111 I-40135 Bologna Italy E-mail: LW3BOL11@CINE88.CINECA.IT Verlag Maedler Lilienthalstrasse 52 D-40474 Dusseldorf Deutschland Rochade Verlag H.K”hler Vogelsbergstrasse 21 D-63477 Maintal Deutschland E-mail: 100600.2505@compuserve.com Schachverlag Kania Hofpfad 32 D-71701 Schwieberdingen Deutschland Edition OLMS AG Breitlenstrasse 11 CH-8634 Hombrechtikon/Zurich Schweiz HE-chess p.a.
