1) Introduction
---------------
My thanks to NET 64 for their coverage of Madrid, TASC for the
games from Dreev vs Piket, Gerald Schendel, Hal Bogner and Eric
Schiller, Graziano Ottolini, Carlos H. Taboada, Sinisa Joksic,
Douglas Bryson, Mike Shepherd and John Henderson, Edward and
Frank Kroeze, Argiris Kotsis and Danny Mozes and the
ChessTreasure Project.
I'm really pleased with the way this issue turned out. I turned
30 this week (no loss from Kasparov on my birthday as in the
last two years running) and probably due to the amount of
effort recent TWIC's have required I was feeling very tired.
But with the issue almost finished I find that it wasn't that
hard to do and indeed it has been quite a leasurely stroll to
compile.
The next few weeks will probably not be that way as we enter
the Summer season of chess with a large increase in the number
of events going on.
Monday see's the start of the long awaited Dos Hermanas
Tournament. Check out my www page for possible links and
updates. On Tuesday the GM tournament of the Nussloch festival
starts and we are very definitely into the run in for the FIDE
World Championships in Elista. The latest spat between the
various chess polititions appears in section 4) Olympiad 1998
News.
As NET64 finish their excellent work on the V Magistral CCAA
Madrid I repeat both my challenge to FIDE and the hope that the
Dos Hermanas Tournament organisers make it nice and easy to get
the news from their event too.
So another issue over. I hope that you enjoy it.

2) Topalov and Illescas share first in the V Magistral CCAA Madrid 1996
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Miguel Illescas scored his best ever result in finishing first
equal in the V Magistral CCAA Madrid Tournament that finished
on Saturday. Before the final round Illescas and Salov shared
the lead and Topalov was half a point behind. It became
apparent however that this was going to be a tense last round.
Salov played a very uninspired opening and got into trouble
very quickly against a motivated Shirov. Korchnoi played a
theoretical line against Topalov and had an inferior ending.
Korchnoi then blundered and Topalov had put a lot of pressure
on the leaders. Illescas had to play the solid Azmaiparashvili
in the last round. This game ended in a draw without too many
adventures.
The tie-break declared Topalov the official winner of the
tournament. (I have presented the table in Sonnen-Berger order.
I don't actually think that these tie-breaks in all-play-all
events mean anything at all.)
Four of the players have a day off and then they play in the
Dos Hermanas tournament again in Madrid. The brevity of the
modern tournament (9 rounds is really too short) means that
they should not have any problems playing two such strong
events back to back and in the early rounds they may even have
an advantage being already "warmed up". Topalov, Illescas and
Shirov will play in good spirits. Gelfand will be hoping to
conjure something a bit more in the next event.
Shirov caught Salov in the last round and both will be
reasonably pleased with good showings in this event.
Gelfand has not been quite at the top of his form this year. He
always presents a solid impression he will be worried about the
amount of games he is losing at the moment both in this event
and at the VSB. Azmaiparashvili managed just one win but no
losses gave hime a good result.
Michael Adams will be very disappointed with his result. He has
had a run of excellent results but here three losses and not
many winning chances was the story of his event.
Morozevich has had a little trouble living up to his results of
last year. It is a great shame that just when he made great
advances this wasn't followed up with this kind of tournament
invitation straight away. He is trying to broaden his opening
repertoire but he needs to follow the example of Topalov who
has gone from a rather loose tactical player to one of the best
all round players in the World in just about two years.
Morozevich tried too hard here leading to exciting games but
too many losses. My thanks to Danny Mozes for annotating the
game Topalov vs Morozevich which was just an unbelievably
combative game right down to a nerve jangling ending.
Korchnoi started badly and just blundered horribly throughout
the event. It was not pretty to watch but he will be back.
San Segundo was just outclassed. His win against Morozevich in
the last round at least gave him some consolation.
My congratulations and thanks to the NET64 team for their
excellent and up to the minute coverage of the event. Their
pages can be found at the addresses below.

Madrid News
-----------
El Pais reports that Alexei Shirov was given Spanish
Nationality last month by the outgoing Spanish Government. It
is reported that after living in Spain for many years Salov too
is seeking a change to Spanish Nationality.
The controversy that surrounds Zurab Azmaiparashvili's rating
continues. In my review of the year I mentioned 'Strumica 95'
which was supposedly held in Macedonia during June of 1995.
There I asked to see the games from the event.
The event was a 6 cycle 4 player all play all. The second
placed player scored an IM norm and Bojan Kurajica and Nukhim
Rashkovsky [Corrected typo from initial version]
finished in the last two places having lost all their
games to Zurab Azmaiparashvili. He netted 40-50 rating points
from this event by scoring 16/18 and this enabled him
subsequently to be invited to some high quality events
including this Madrid Tournament. The trouble for
Azmaiparashvili is that no-one believes that such an unusual
result from such an unusual event can be for real. In fact the
accusation is that only one game was played, one between Bojan
Kurajica and Nukhim Rashkovsky and that the game that appears in
Informant is made up. The games should have been sent to FIDE
and weren't and Zurab has taken no steps to prove that the
event was for real. He has known since late last year of the
allegations, he has supplied no magazine with the games from
the event, a photocopy of all his gamescores would have gone
some way to offering evidence, an explanation as to who
organised the event, photographs or an indication of the size
of audience would have helped.
During the opening ceremony of the Madrid event Zurab got wind
of a protest by Alexei Shirov.
Zurab said to Shirov:
"If you don't shake my hand I'll kill you." Azmaiparashvili
later explained that this was just his way of expressing his
anger at these absolutely untrue allegations.
When they played Shirov told the arbiter that he wasn't going
to shake Azmaiparashvili's hand and Shirov started the game
with a very aggressive manner at the board. At the end of the
game Shirov offered a draw via the arbiter and commented that
after getting that game out of the way he could start the
tournament for real.

3) Dos Hermanas May 20th
------------------------
With only one player missing from the World's top ten this will
be the strongest tournament this year. Perhaps we have become
spoilt over the years but I can't help wanting top class events
of 15, 17 or 18 rounds rather than the now standard 9 round
events.
The event will see Kasparov compete with Kamsky and Judit
Polgar for the first time in a few years and brings together
all the best players excluding Karpov.
I expect Kamsky to use this as a tough piece of preparation in
order to get him into the right frame of mind for playing
Karpov in Elista just four days later. I don't expect he will
be playing his absolute best opening repertoire and will be
happy simply to be playing good sound chess. +1 or +2 would be
excellent for him. In fact putting all his energies into trying
to win the event would be counterproductive. To pick a winner
is hard, it will probably come from one of Kramnik, Kasparov,
Ivanchuk, Anand and Topalov but that's half the field so I'm
not exactly sticking my neck out.
I'm not aware of any planned coverage on the net but I will put
any news or links that I do get on my www page.

4) Olympiad 1998 News
-------------------
There has been some interesting news reported on Compuserve
about the 1998 Olympiad which had been given to Elista in
Kalmykia. It now appears that this will be held in St
Petersburg. These reports have been quite persistant for the
last couple of weeks. Frederic Friedel says that the problem
was that "Kirsan Iljumzhinov was seeking to charge the Russian
government 210 million dollars to subsidise the Olympiad in his
capital. He was also asking the Russian state for 600 million
dollars in tax concessions."
There have been truely bizarre reports late this week from the
Itar Tass Russian news agency. It seems that Russian Sports
Officials are asking the IOC (International Olympic Committee)
to close down FIDE if he chooses to back the alternative
Bebchuk Russian Chess Federation as opposed to the Makarov
backed Russian Chess Federation which was recognised by FIDE in
Moscow in 1994. As the IOC doesn't have any connection with
FIDE this seems a strange request, they might as well as the
WPBSA (World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association) to
close down FIDE as ask the IOC.
The warning was issued by Shamil Tarpishchev a member of
Russia's Olympic Committee. It seems to have been triggered by
a letter to Moscow's Tagansky interdistrict court officially
recognizing Yevgeni Bebchuk as head of the Russian Chess
Federation. Ilyumzhinov's decision was linked to the projected
removal of the 1998 Olympiad from Elista to St Petersburg and
also presumably also with Andrei Makarov's decision that his
Russian Federation will have nothing to do with the
Organisation of the Karpov-Kamsky match which starts in Elista
on June 6th.
During the elections in 1994 in Moscow Kasparov and Campomanes
made great play of meeting the IOC President with a view to
having chess included in the Olympic games, however this was
only to be considered if the PCA and FIDE could come to an
agreement, something that isn't going to happen soon. The
Russian's have their elections next month and probably only
after they have been completed will anyone be able to predict
how the fight between the two Russian Federations will turn
out.
5) Piket versus Dreev Match.
-------------------------
My thanks to Eric van der Schilden from TASC for providing the
games to this event. This 8 game match organised by Joop Van
Oosterom to help one of the best players in the Netherlands to
get the necessary experience to improve turned out to be
another disappointment for Jeroen Piket. Since Piket's rating
peeked two years ago he has struggled and now his rating is
fallen to 2570.
1 Dreev, Alexey - Piket, Jeroen 1-0 35
2 Piket, Jeroen - Dreev, Alexey 1/2 49

Annual meeting of the German Chess Federation
---------------------------------------------
The course:
16 May meetings of the board
17 May workshop: top class sports
18 May congress: meeting of the delegates of the German chess associations
19 May meeting of the board
One of the most interesting points on the agenda of the
congress (for me) will be an application for changing the rules
(right to play in team championships like Bundesliga).
One of the German chess associations ("Schwalbe" - association
for problem-solving) wants to replace in some rules "German
citizenship" by "citizenship of a country in the European
Union" (EU).
The immediate cause for this application was the so called
"Bosman" case in soccer. But the "Schwalbe" wrote: "In order to
realize the European Union all national distinctions should
vanish gradually out of the social life."
Last week the German chess association in Baden ("Badischer
Schachverband") had it's annual meeting. These delegates
decided (for team championships in Baden) to give up any
distinctions. It's a test - we'll see. Baden is well known in
Germany for it's liberal (too liberal?) rules.
This takes place in Bad Segeberg.
7) Hawaii International 1996
-------------------------
I will round up this tournament which is due to finish today
next week. Hal Bogner and Eric Schiller have been kind enough
to send me some games and reports. (they have also appeared on
the internet) I have used the round 7 report. A full bulletin
will be available from Chessworks (Chessworks@aol.com)
The 3rd Hawaii International is sponsored by Chessworks Unlimited,
Mindscape, and the Ocean Resort Hotel. From the reports everyone
seems to be having a great time.
There is a remarkable group of kids playing, some with great success:
D. Nakamoto (14)
J. Saidy (16, cousin of Tony, but they never met until this event!)
J. Mont Reynaud (12)
V. Bhat (11)
J. Fenklakh (15)
Hawaii International 1996
Round 7 report
by Eric Schiller
Chessworks Net News
There were some interesting developments in round 7. Benjamin
drew as Black against Situru, while Gufeld, also playing Black,
defeated Kaiser. Blatny had a hopeless position against Saidy,
but entered a complex endgame where his extra pawns
outmaneuvered Saidy's knight in the sudden death time pressure.
This was Saidy's second sudden death loss in extreme time
pressure and after the game he decided he had seen enough of it
and withdrew. Eugene Martin
Tom Wolski's nearly certain IM norm took a severe blow when he
lost against Remlinger in a game he should surely have won. He
should be able to avoid a third straight defeat when he faces
Jennie Frenklakh today, but will need 2 out of 3 points to
insure the norm. Gene Martinovsky, another veteran, suffered a
similar fate against Kari Heinola, though he should only have
drawn.
In a battle of young players, Jordy Mont-Reynaud defeated Jawid
Saidy to earn the right to battle Joel Benjamin in Round 8.
Gufeld and Blatny face off against each other, while Situru
plays Remlinger.
Unrated Eric Mui of Hawaii continues his excellent performance.
He drew with Takata yesterday and takes on Clyde Nakamura today
in a battle of overachievers.
Grandmasters Benjamin and Blaty prepared for today's game by
attending the famous Bikini contest at a local nightclub. It is
not clear what openings they were studying. No more sunburns to
report, as everyone has been applying sunscreen generously. A
large group of players headed up to Waimea Falls on the North
Shore of the island, while many others were satisfied with the
local beaches of Waikiki.
Publicity on the event has been great, with additional newpaper
coverage now that Governor Benjamin Cayetano has scheduled a
rematch with the young player who defeated him at the
exhibition at Washington Place (the official gubernatorial
residence). There was a nice photo of Jennie on page 3 of the
main newspaper.
The 4th Hawaii International has been scheduled for April 1997,
two days after the National Open (Las Vegas). This will make it
possible for players to participate in the New York Open,
National Open and Hawaii International as part of a single tour
with 25 games in less than a month. For those who need even
more, we hope to offer a small weekend swiss on Maui following
the International.

11) Aberdeen Open
---------------
My thank to Douglas Bryson, Mike Shepherd and John Henderson.
The Aberdeen Open, sponsored by Pecten, the social club for the
Shell oil company was held in Aberdeen, Scotland, 10 -12 May.
The L600 first prize was one by Bogdan Lalic, the Croatian
grand-master now living in the South of England. The results
were as follows;
1. Lalic,B g 2575 4.5
2. Wall,T 2250
3. Hodgson,Ju g 2615 3.5
Grant,J 2265
5. Shaw,J f 2355 3
Findlay,D
Whyte,B
Fyfe,G
Berry,N 2010
Finnie,D
Not so strong as last year when there were four grandmasters
and several IMs playing, nevertheless two GMs led the field.
There was an upset in the last round when Tim Wall beat top
seed Julian Hodgson.
The Aberdeen Open is well known for its fabulous organisation.
Its the small details that count to make this venue the best on
the UK circuit. Free coffee and fruit juice are provided, a
spacious airy tournament hall, a subsidised restaurant on-site
and to make sure that there is a good attendance at the prize
giving, free wine!
The Marisca Kouwenhoven - Hodgson game from round one is
probably the most entertaining, although not for her. Marisca
is a Dutch girl international whose dad works for Shell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this 7 round tournament with 16 players the first round
pairings are based on Elo. This only brought one upset, but it
was an important one. Clear favourite Dimitri Reinderman (IM
2495) only drew against Babak Tondivar, a very solid player.
After two rounds the only players with a perfect score were
Karel van der Weide (win over Jan van de Mortel) and Sybolt
Strating (win over Oscar Lemmers, the 4th seed). Reinderman
kept a half point behind them by taking in his free point
against me (the score is now 0-8 in my disadvantage). 3rd seed
Martin Roobol could not defeat Frank Wuts.
In round 3 Sybolt Strating seemed to become the sole leader,
but in mutual timepressure he could not find a way to make use
of the weak position of the black king. Karel van der Weide was
more efficient, because a quick counter-attack brought him
success. Martin Roobol defeated Babak Tondivar by winning a
piece out of a worse position and Dimitri Reinderman defeated
Frank Wuts after he survived several sacrafices.
In round 4 Martin Roobol took over the lead by defeating Karel
van der Weide with the black pieces. After blacks 18th move
Karel could not find a good way to stop black from Qd8,
followed by Nde7, winning whites pawn on d3. Reinderman lost
another half point, this time to Oscar Lemmers.
In the next round though, Martin was defeated by Dimitri in a
strong game from Dimitri. He won a pawn and rightly evaluated
that white would not get enough compensation for that pawn with
his strong dark-squared bishop. Karel kept up with Dimitri by
winning easily from Frank Wuts. The night before this game
Karel was afraid to get into the Blackmar-Diemer which Frank
usually plays. The positional approach with the Benoni-wall
(with the idea Bf8-e7-g5 to change the dark-squared bishops)
seemed like the right thing to do to limit Frank's tactical
possibilities. And indeed, Frank's lack of understanding became
clear as early as on the 4th move 4.g4??!. The game ended
suddenly when Frank touched the wrong knight and had to play
with it. After this there were 2 restdays which the true
chessplayer of course used to play more chess. Some of us had
to play the Dutch Blitz-championships for teams. This
tournament was won by Panfox (Manuel Bosboom, Gert-Jan de Boer,
Albert Blees and Martin Martens).
In round 6 Dimitri finally seemed on his way to win the title
for the first time as he was an exchange up. The exchange
sacrafice is totally theoretical but it doesn't look very
promising for black. Anyhow, with still 5 minutes on the clock
Dimitri produced the terrible blunder 34.Rce3 and after blacks
strong reply he could only stop mate by giving 2 rooks for a
knight. Martin Roobol convincingly defeated Oscar Lemmers. On
move 16 he made a temporary sacrifice and after 20.a5 he was
still a piece down, but black's queen, his two knights and a
rook were en prise. After the whole combination black was 2
exchanges down. Jan van de Mortel and Frank Kroeze both lost
their last chance by drawing eachother. I was worse through the
whole game after the terrible move 12.- Rc8. I thought we still
followed the game Sokolov-Karpov, Linares 1995 but after 14.Ne4
i understood that Karpov could never have played such a bad
move. (He had played 12.- g6).
Standings at the top after 6 rounds:
1. Karel van der Weide 5
2. Martin Roobol 4.5
3. Dimitri Reinderman 4
4. Johan Borst, Frank Kroeze, Jan van de Mortel,
Babak Tondivar, Frank Wuts 3.5
Pairings at the top:
Van der Weide - Borst
Kroeze - Roobol
Reinderman - Van de Mortel
Tondivar - Wuts
Karel placed a quick draw-offer to secure at least the shared
first place, but Borst decided to play on. Karel was not
unhappy about this, because a little time later I made the
horrible blunder 12.Nd5 (missing 12.- Qxa2 totally) loosing a
pawn and a position. Martin tried to decide the game quickly
with 17.- Bb5!? which could have worked if only had he played
19.- f5! After the worse move 19.- d5 I could escape to a rook
ending that was easily drawn. A few moments after the draw was
agreed Johan Borst lost the exchange against Karel and he
understood that the only way to avoid losing was offering the
draw immediately. Karel didn't have to think long about
accepting the offer, whereby he became the Dutch
studentchampion for the 2nd time in a row. Reinderman tried to
reach second place after winning a pawn in the middlegame. He
lost the pawn however and was worse in the final position in
which black offered a draw. Babak Tondivar won rather easily
from Frank Wuts and shared 3rd place with Dimitri.

{
This game was deeply analyzed by Danny Mozes and his computers band for
the ChessTreasure Project.
Mark Crowther has referred me to this exceptional game.
No dull moments in this game; first Morozevich's innovation 9...Nxe5 with
10...Qb6, then Black slipped the advantage by playing 12..O-O-O?
Side line attack 18.Qd1!? which at first looks promising leads only to
an equal position, and another one 20.Bh3?! proved to be dubious.
Then followed an equal middle game tough battle, with a real chance of
winning for White on the 40th move 40.Rd3! which was missed by Topalov.
But, what makes this game extraordinary is the ending stage, it represents
entirely opposite thesis to the approach by Anand and Kasparov in the
ending with some similarities Kasparov,G - Anand (6) PCA Final NY 1995,
in that game both players agreed to an early draw claiming that the
position is unclear - a negative approach to Chess.
Here both players have shown their boldness and went into it - ending
with free passed pawns in opposite wings.
