-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kamsky has a good week .... so far
----------------------------------
With game 13 continuing as I speak (an interesting position but my guess is that
it will be drawn) I have to write something about this week's games.
So far it has been a very good week for Kamsky. After the disaster of game 9
Kamsky again showed his strength of character in winning a fine game 10.
(Danny Mozes analyses this game further down the page.) A Queens Indian Petrosian
where Karpov ended up a little worse after superior Kamsky Preparation.
Karpov who is a fine defender seemed to somewhat underestimate the attacking possibilities
and Kamksy opened the position up in the centre to find Karpov's king still there.
My impression was that Kamsky could have finished the game up much quicker than
he did but in the end his play ensured the kill.
In game 11 we saw Kamsky change opening system yet again. This time to the
semi-slav. Karpov has a very dull but solid way of meeting this opening,
and this was his choice in this game. The position out of the opening was
almost level. Karpov however has won many games in this system and proceeded
to show why. Somehow having almost completely equalised Kamsky went very badly
astray before the first time control. Only some very fine defensive play followed
by an excellent sealed move allowed him to save the game. Karpov probably
missed a win somewhere in this game.
Game 12 was a real slugfest. Here I have the impression that Karpov's preparation
was quite deep. He played very provocatively in the opening and white seemed
to have a strong attack. This however was an illusion. As Kamsky got on with his
wing attack, Karpov simply broke in the centre. With Kamsky's attack running out
of steam he bailed out just in time. For a while there was a possibility that
Karpov would win the ending but again Kamsky defended extremely accurately to
hold the draw.
John Fedorowicz returns home early.
-----------------------------------
In news that came as a suprise to me John Fedorowicz
has returned home early as one of Kamsky's seconds.
He left after game 9. "Creative differences" was given
as the reason. The USCF has an interesting interview
with him at:
http://206.67.176.20/tnmt/fwc96/fwcinfo8.html
The interview is very interesting talking about some of the technical
aspects of the match conditions, however two parts stand out:
"EJ: How much say does Roustam have in the preparation? Is it true he has the
final word over the opening selection?
JF: Pretty much - he picks the openings. The King's Indian Defense (in Game
Seven) was a disaster. There are some openings that certain people just
shouldn't play."
and later
JF "I feel bad for Gata, because he's only 22 years old, and he is not allowed to
live his life. His father makes all the decisions. If he loses the match,
Roustam says Gata will go to medical school. That's a big decision for his
father to make."
[NM Eric C. Johnson [EJ] , USCF Assistant Director carried out the interview]
But if you get the chance you should check out the full interview.
This seems to be a continuation of my column last week (by the way Kamsky
is 22 not 24 as I erroniously said last week). Gata Kamsky should be
taking all the decisions not his father. If Rustam is involved in real
chess decisions then this is even worse, it is actually sabotaging his
son`s chances.
Its' a real World Championship match now
----------------------------------------
It wouldn't be a real World Championship match without at least
some arguement about the playing conditions, the conduct of the
opponent or accusations of cheating. When the matches were
all Soviet affairs there were complaints, but the rule was
that Botvinnik was always right. The real tradition started
with Bobby Fischer in 1972, and the series of complaints below
are almost in Fischer's class. Later, when Korchnoi played his
series of matches against Karpov this tradition was continued
with the famous Yougart complaint (actually simply a joke
invented by Korchnoi's English seconds). Its a ritual but it
seems to help the camps who make the complaints. To the outside
World it simply makes the participants look ridiculous.
Kamsky team complains to the appeals committee.
-----------------------------------------------
The Kamsky team made two appeals to the committee. One on the 22nd of June and
a further one on the 26th of June. Below are the two appeals committee
decisions and two FIDE press releases. Christophe Bouton starts with an account
of the press conference given by Rustam Kamsky on the 21st June which started
this episode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rustam Kamsky and the computer room by Christophe Bouton
Elista, June 21st 6:30 pm
One hour after game 8 ended in a draw, Rustam Kamsky asked for a press
conference. He said this press conference could not have taken place had Kirsan
Iljumzhinov been in town (Kalmykia voted massively for Yeltsin last Sunday, so
Iljumzhinov flew immediatly to Moscow). The main point of this hectic press
conference was a quarrel about the computer room which is nearby the rest rooms
of the players and from which I send the moves live to different web sites. In
this computer room, IGM Evgenyi Vassiukov and IM Vladimir Gagarin are preparing
comments for the spectators. These comments are made 3-4 times during the game.
In between, they analyse the game, write down notes for the bulletin and check
the references thanks to the huge database V. Gagarin is in charge of.
So, when R. Kamsky entered the computer room, he was suspicious. At this press
conference he accused MM. Gagarin and Vassiukov of working for Karpov's camp.
He said that Karpov broken his normal routine as he was often leaving the stage
during the play. He accused the two masters of finding references on the 8th
game during the play thanks to the computer. Maybe he was afraid of some
possible connection between the screen in the rest room of each player and the
screen used for analysis for spectators. But there is none. The TV set in the
players rest room broadcast only the situation of the game in process.
R. Kamsky complained that he had only "officially" received the regulations of
the match yesterday. He added that his son and himself were not consulted about
anything during the organisation of the match. He added that, to catch Karpov,
20 games may not be sufficient and in this respect he wanted the FIDE rules to
be applied i.e, a match in 24 games.
As a result of his demands (with two meetings with the arbiters and the
organisation committee before this press conference), the access to the press
computer room has been limited with a permanent guard to enforce it. The two
chiefs of delegation or any of their representative have permanent access to
this room. Phone calls regarding the game, to and from the computer room, are
strictly forbidden.
Christophe Bouton
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decision of appeals committee about Rustam Kamsky protest on June 22nd
A copy of the translation was also given to the Kamsky Team. The Karpov Team
and GM Vasiukov were given a deadline to submit their comments if any - by
16:00 hours on 23 June 1996.
The AC should reach a decision within 24 hours upon receipt of a protest in
accordance to Regulation D.I.07.6.142(b). In this case this means 23:00 hours
on 23 June 1996.
COMPLAINTS & COMMENTS
This is the summary of the complaints and the accompanying comments (in
italics) of the Appeals Committee :
a) That there is advance analysis of the game by two strong chess players in
the computer room during the playing session.
Commentator GM Vasiukov and his assistant IM Gagarin are hired by the
Organizers to carry out work as commentators and to publish the bulletins.
There is nothing in the Regulations prohibiting this work from being conducted
in a computer room.
b) That the alledged advance analysis is carried out with the help of computer
programs such as Menista and IC Genius-3. or the purpose of fulfilling their
work described in 4(a) above, the help of the computer programs were used to
enhance the speed of their work and to produce high quality bulletins. Other
than this complaint there has been nothing reported to indicate that the
Commentator was not conducting his work in a very professional manner.
c) That there is possibility to pass information from the computer room to the
players. The location of the computer room is not ideal. Due to this fact,
several restrictions have already been established after extensive discussions
between the involved parties.
While there is possibility of passing information due to advanced technology,
that does not mean that this is being done. The complainant has not
substantiated his claim with any evidence whatsoever of this being done.
Moreover there has been no reports from any other sources to support such
possibility of passing information to the players. Nevertheless, for the sake
of creating a peaceful atmosphere and to prevent unnecessary tension among the
two teams, the AC has decided that the programs stated above shall not be used
during the game. There shall be no advance analysis by computer program during
the game. For the production of the bulletins, only the chess database
management systems and text processors could be used. These decisions are
acceptable to Commentator GM Vasiukov and his assistant IM Gagarin.
d) That the press releases during the game should include only the moves that
have been made. There are no regulations concerning the contents of the
bulletins.
e) That the FIDE Regulations stipulate that all equipment, i.e. computers and
commentators should be situated in the press centre. There are no regulations
concerning the location of equipment, computers and commentators. Regulations
D.I.07.3.5 and D.I.07.3.6 are recommendations and minimum standards to be
provided for by the Organizers and not for the limitation of other solutions
and possibilities. Therefore, these rules, as they stand, do not exclude other
solutions and other possible arrangement of facilities such as the press
centre, live commentary room and the production of the bulletins.
Based on the above complaints and comments, the Appeals Committee has reached
the following
DECISION :
The Appeals Committee decided that no computer playing program shall be used
for advance analysis in the computer room during a playing session.The deposit
fee shall be refunded.
MORTEN SAND Chairman Appeals Committee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fide press release about the protest dated 24 June
Protest from the Kamsky Team on 22 June 1996 at 23:00 hours. Copies of this
protest were delivered to the Karpov Team and Commentator GM Evgeny Vasiukov
for their comments.
The main complaint of the Kamsky Team was that during the playing session, GM
Vasiukov and his assistant IM Gagarin are making advance analysis of the game
with the help of computer programs such as Menista and IC Genius-3 in the
computer room. The Kamsky Team alledged that there is the possibility to pass
information from the computer room to the players. The Kamsky Team felt that
the press releases during the game should include only the moves that have been
made. The opinion of the Kamsky Team was that the computers and the
commentators should be situated in the press centre.
The Appeals Committee took into consideration the comments of GM Vasiukov. The
commentators are doing their job which is also being broadcast live on Kalmyk
TV. There is no reason to doubt their professionalism.
For the sake of a peaceful atmosphere and to prevent unnecessary tension
between the two teams, the Appeals Committee decided that no computer playing
program shall be used for advance analysis in the computer room during a
playing session.
The opinion of the Kamsky Team was that the computers and the commentators
should be situated in the press centre.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STATEMENT issued by The Appeals Committee
PRESS RELEASE 26 June 1996
Pursuant to the Protest of the Kamsky Team of 22 June 1996, the Decision of the
Appeals Committee on 23 June 1996 and the Press Release issued by The Appeals
Committee on 24 June 1996, the Appeals Committee wish to clarify the following
1. The Appeals Committee in its decision found it unnecessary to specifically
point out the fact that Commentator GM Vasiukov and his assistant IM Gagarin
are not representing the Karpov Team.
2. The Appeals Committee in its decision found it unnecessary to specifically
point out the fact that World Champion Anatoly Karpov's result is purely due to
his own playing merit and sporting achievement. None of the allegations against
the Commentators and the Karpov Team as implied in the Protest of the Kamsky
Team were valid.
By this statement, The Appeals Committee wishes to preserve the integrity of
World Champion Anatoly Karpov, the members of the Karpov Team, the Match
Arbiters, the Organizing Committee and Commentators GM Vasiukov and IM Gagarin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECISION OF THE APPEALS COMMITTEE 26th June
This decision is related to the protest of 26 June 1996 submitted by the Kamsky
Team.
1. LEGALITY
The Appeals Committee (AC) received a protest, in two parts, from the Kamsky
Team (signed by Gata Kamsky and Rustam Kamsky) on 26.06.96 at 22:30 hours. This
protest was done in accordance to regulation D.I.07.6.142(e) accompanied by the
required deposit fee. The AC felt it was able to handle this protest according
to regulation D.I.07.6.141(f) which allows the AC to decide on all matters
which it considers important.
2. PROCEDURE
The AC arranged for translation of the written protest. The AC decided to
handle the first part without asking for further comments. However, for the
second part, the Kalmykian TV was asked to give a written statement.
The AC should reach a decision within 24 hours upon receipt of a protest in
accordance to Regulation D.I.07.6.142(b). In this case, it means 22:30 hours on
27 June 1996.
3. COMPLAINTS & COMMENTS
This is the summary of the complaints and the accompanying comments (in
italics) of the Appeals Committee :
a) That during the 11th game, the Commentators carried out advance analysis on
the computer contrary to the decision of the AC in the protest of 22 June 1996.
The AC has full confidence that the Commentators are working professionally and
in accordance with the previous decision of the AC. We do not believe in the
allegations.
The AC noticed that Chief of Delegation Rustam Kamsky has been constantly
creating disturbance in the computer room. In so doing, his interference has
disrupted those people working in the computer room. During the 11th game,
again Rustam Kamsky made provocative accusations during the work of the
Commentators.
The AC had, on 23 June 1996, issued a warning to Rustam Kamsky to behave
himself in the computer room. Due to his continual misconduct in the computer
room, The AC shall deny Rustam Kamsky access into the computer room with
immediate effect.
b) That the two Commentators are working as part of the Karpov Team.
The AC feels that the Kamsky Team is repeating a serious allegation which
implies that the two Commentators are part of the Karpov Team. The AC has
rejected this allegation before. In the opinion of the AC, this repeated
allegation is an insult to the Karpov Team and to the two Commentators.
The Kamsky Team did not substantiate its implied allegation in the previous
protest as well as in this protest. The Kamsky Team has continued to make
provocative statements contrary to Regulation D.I.07.1.46. As such, the AC
demands written apologies signed by both Challenger GM Gata Kamsky and Chief of
Delegation Rustam Kamsky to the offended parties; that is to World Champion GM
Anatoly Karpov and to the two Commentators GM Evgeny Vasiukov and IM Gagarin.
These apologies must be delivered to the FIDE Office (Room 25 at the White
House) before 14:00 hours on 28 June 1996. If acceptable apologies are not
received by the deadline, in accordance to Regulation D.I.07.6.144(b) the
Appeals Committee will impose a fine of US$2000 on Challenger GM Gata Kamsky
and US$2000 on Chief of Delegation Rustam Kamsky. These fines shall be
deductable from their prize money and stipend respectively in accordance to
Regulation D.I.07.6.145.
c) Request to switch off the headphones of the TV Cameramen working near the
stage.
The Chief Arbiter has noticed sound from the headphones when they were not worn
by the TV cameramen. This happended only on a couple of ocassions since
commencement of the 1st game to the 11th game. However, the Arbiters have taken
all necessary measures in order to prevent any disturbances by the TV crew and
their equipment.
The AC wants to add that it finds it difficult to believe that Gata Kamsky
could very well hear "comments, analyses and possible moves" through the
headphones during a game. The AC has asked and received the appended statement
of the General Manager of the Kalmyk Teleradiocompany.
Based on the above complaints and comments, the Appeals Committee has reached
the following
DECISIONS:
I. The protest is rejected and the deposit fee forfeited to FIDE.
II. Chief of Delegation Mr Rustam Kamsky is denied access into the computer
room with immediate effect.
III. Both Challenger GM Gata Kamsky and Chief of Delegation Mr Rustam Kamsky
shall deliver their unconditional apologies to World Champion GM Anatoly Karpov
and Commentator GM Evgeny Vasiukov and Commentator IM Gagarin. Failing to
deliver these within the stipulated deadline, they shall each be fined US$2000.
MORTEN SAND Chairman Appeals Committee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further Protests from the Kamsky team.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christophe Bouton reports:
Here is an anecdote I witnessed on June 27th, before the resumption of the
game. A precise translation of this incident was made to me by Vasily Gagarin.
R. Kamsky: " I'll arrange a slaughter here! "
Just a couple of minutes before the resumption of game 11, June 27th, Rustam
Kamsky entered the computer room as usual. Vasily Gagarin was on the phone with
St Petersburg TV which sometimes relay from the live reports of Kalmykia
Television. As V. Gagarin asked to R. Kamsky if he wanted to talk to the
Leningrad journalist on the phone, the latter refused. And added with anger: "
I do make an official statement: if you don't stop advanced analysis in this
room, I'll arrange a slaughter here! ".
A few seconds later, the arbiter G. Gijssen entered the room. Both Gijssen and
R. Kamsky left the room soon as the game was going to start.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Appeals Committee of the Match from the Chief of Kamsky's Team R. Kamsky
PROTEST
During the 11th game, GM Vasiukov and IM Gagarin were carrying out a game
analysis and at the same time were making references that they are just looking
through the database of the similar games. As I can notice they are not making
any work at the press-bulletin, but are looking at numerous advance moves of
the game which is being played. Though it was agreed that this is forbidden to
carry out the advance computer analysis. We would be grateful if you could
kindly undertake necessary measures as the insolence of the Karpov's seconds is
unlimited. I can say that I see their work not at the bulletin but at the
advance analysis.
June 26th, Rustam Kamsky
I, grandmaster Gata Kamsky, declare that during a game the comments can be very
well heard through the headphones of the TV-cameramen alongside with the
analysis and possible moves. I would be grateful if you could kindly switch off
the headphones of the TV cameramen. Also, I am insisting that no advance
analysis is carried out.
June 26th, 1996
Gata Kamsky
(Translation by P. Tsedenova)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To President FIDE and Kalmykia Kirsan N. Iliumzhinov from challenger Gata
Kamsky
STATEMENT
Pursuant to the groundless and erratically taken decisions the Appeals
Committee headed by Mr. Morten Sand have insulted myself and my team. We claim
our distrust to them and make a request tot bring this case to a court of
Kalmykia of to an international Court of Switerland after the match is
finished. We ask for re-election of the Appeals Committee. During 6 days before
the first protest we have been trying to settle the organizational draws which
have affected my play. Then we made two protests. All these concerned only the
issue: to make Russian grandmasters stop making analysis and look up similar
games in advance analysis with the help of playing chess programs. In doing so,
we have not blamed A. Karpov and our actions were very proper. Please,
undertake the measures urgently.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27.06.96 Gata Kamsky
To The Appeals Committee from the Challenger for the World Chess Title Gata
Kamsky and the Head of the Delegation Rustma Kamsky.
STATEMENT (27.06.96)
We completely disagree with the Appeals Committee Decision on the following:
1) We have encountered grave problems during the match organization and have
been asking for 10 (ten) days to eliminate these drawbacks. We have not blamed
Karpov as we were speaking that during the game Russian grandmasters Vasiukov
and Gagarin were making use of Database program and the computer with chess
playing programs (Chess Genius-3). They are analyzing and collecting on the
machine on the base during the game making advance analysis. We disagree with
this and are insisting on terminating this outrage.
2) When the chief of the delegation was present in the computer during the 11th
game, he had a talk about the claims with the FIDE representative Mr. Morten
Sand and he did not affect the work of the commentators. The investigation took
place during a break in the comments and the bulletin was not being published.
We feel that Mr. Morten Sand is not honest to his duties and you are not in a
position to deny the access to the computer room to the Chief of the delegation
Mr. R. G. Kamsky.
3) I make a request to make President of FIDE and Kalmykia Kirsan Nikolayevich
Ilyumzhinov an arbiter in our dispute.
4) We are very surprised and filled with indignation by the Appeals Committee
response and by the fact that the decision was taken without the presence of
the Chief of the Kamsky team. Also Mr Sand has immediately left for Moscow
without waiting for our answer. This is an unlawful action.
5) I will be grateful to have an immediate response for our protest especially
as in you document it is said precisely that the Chief Arbiter had heard the
noises coming from the headset of the TV-cameramen and this proves that Gata
Kamsky does not make any provocative actions and does not tell lies. Also,
concerning the first protest dated June 22nd, 1996 the Appeals Committee came
to adecision that the playing programs and the computers shall not be used for
the advance analysis of the Championship's games. Mr. Morten Sand, the Chairman
of the Appeals Committee has seen himself that Vasiukov and Gagarin had used
the computer for these purposes so I make a request to remit the insulting
accusations in provocations and lies.
Challenger Gata Kamsky Chief of Delegation Rustam G. Kamsky.

Press Release of German Chess Federation from 24.6.1996
-------------------------------------------------------
In a meeting on 23. 6. 1996 at Amsterdam representatives of the US Chess
Federation (FIDE Delegate and past President Steve Doyle), the Russian Chess
Federation (President Andrei Makarov) and the German Chess Federation
(President Egon Ditt) agreed closer cooperation regarding world chess issues.
This new relationship will be far reaching and will have many positive effects
throughout the world, as we try to restore the image of an International Chess
Organization.
As the President of the German Chess Federation Egon Ditt comments, this
agreement is to be seen in connection with the Congress of FIDE in September in
Yerewan. For the first time the three biggest national chess federations
troubled by the loss of image of FIDE have united to take the initiative to
create unity in the chess world.
Egon Ditt: "We need an international organization that fulfils it's duties.
Together we have developed alternatives and we are decided to force decisions
on a new structure. To reach this we are willing to contribute more for chess
all over the world."
3) JULIO BOLBOCHAN (20.03.1920 -28.06.1996) by Roberto Alvarez
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, June 28th, 1996, will be remembered like a cloudy day for the
Argentinian chess : Grand Master Julio Bolbochan, born on March 20th, 1920,
died at 76 years of age, in Caracas (Venezuela) where he has lived for several
years. He worked as a chess teacher in the "Universidad Simon Bolivar" in
Caracas, and he was a very kind man, always favourably disposed to give
advice to some of his pupils.
Julio Bolbochan was a very strong chessplayer, and he deserved the GM title
on 1977. Between 1950-1970, he played 7 FIDE Olympiads, with great results.
Argentina Chess Champion twice : 1946 and 1948, but his better results were
at Mar del Plata International tournaments 1951,1952 and 1956 were he joined
the first place.
When living in Argentina, he was the trainer of GM Oscar Panno, and taught
him all his positional play secrets. His brother, Jacobo Bolbochan, was too
a chessplayer and International Master.
Your games are now eternal.
---------------------------
JULIO BOLBOCHAN by Mark Crowther
---------------------------------
Just to add some information:
Mar del Plata/Buenos Aires 1951 1st= (with Eliskases)
Mar del Plata 1952 1st= (with Rossetto)
Mar del Plata 1956 1st= (with Najdorf)
He qualified for 3 Interzonals but played only in one.
Stockholm Interzonal 1962 13th
He withdrew from the Saltsjobaden Interzonal after a few rounds
and due to ill health did not even travel to Sousse in 1967.
He played in 7 Olympiads from 1950-1970.
Argentina came second in 1950 and aswell as getting the silver
medal for this he got the board 2 silver medal with +9=5.
Dubrovnik 1950 88% Board 2
Helsinki 1952 64% Board 2
Amsterdam 1954 77% Board 2
Moscow 1956 60% Board 2
Varna 1962 59% Board 2
Havana 1966 59% Board 3
Siegen 1970 Percentages not available to me.
Choosing some games to appear in the games section the overwhelming
impression was that this was a very solid player who drew many
games, including against some of the World's very best players
when he got the opportunity. I hope that I have managed to choose
games of his, and not his brother Jacabo Bolbochan was also a strong player
(1906-84) but their careers rarely overlapped with most of Julio's
games being post-WWII and Jacabo's pre-WWII.
4) Copenhagen Chess Festival 1996.
-------------------------------
My thanks to Lars Zwisler and to Bjarke Kristensen for their help.
The Copenhagen www site:
http://inet.uni-c.dk/~kbhsu/news.htm
has been truely astonishing. All the games have been posted there
and that mounts up to nearly 540 games.
Copenhagen is Europe's 1996 Cultural City and has organised a

Norbert Friedrich analyses some recent Rauser Theory
----------------------------------------------------
In the Richter/Rauser-Sicilian 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6
5.Nc3 d6 6.Bg5 e6 7.Qd2 Be7 8.O-O-O white players preferred for a long
time 8...0-0 9.Nb3!? instead of 9.f4. To avoid this option 8...Nxd4
9.Qxd4 0-0 was played to transpose into the old main line after 10.f4 Qa5.
But in Timann-Kramnik (Horgen 1995) 10.e5 dxe5 11.Qxe5 Bd7 12.Qg3!?
created problems for Black.
In Kramnik-Kasparov (Amsterdam 1996) a new derivation was tested: Black does not
castle and starts his queenside play immediately (9...a6 10.f4 b5).Kramnik got a
good position though he later lost - 18...a4 was a recommendation afterwards.
After 9...a6 10.f4 b5 11.Bxf6 gxf6 we face strategic similarities with
another old sicilian line (6.Bg5 e6 7.Qd2 a6 8.O-O-O Bd7 9.f4 b5) where
Bxf6 is usually followed by the knight exchange performed via Nxc6.
Pro: With a queen on d4 Black can win a tempo with Qc5 - Bishop c8 can be
useful both on b7 and d7. Contra: In a Bxf6 gxf6-Pawn structure Bishop e7
needs not be developed early. With a Bf8 the square g7 is still protected
and after an early f4-f5 the plan Bf8-h6 is optional.

Crimean Championship Round 4 games analysed by Gerald Schendel
---------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some games (round 4) with comments - I (GS) used the ChessBase-Database and
Fritz 3.1/4.0 (moduls for analysis within ChessBase) on a Pentium-100 for the
comments. It took a lot of time - next week I will type in the games (R5-9)
without comments.
Last week there was an interesting discussion about ChessBase and PGN in the
CompuServe-Chessforum. Frederic Friedel's program seems to have some problems
with pgn, especially with the pgn header "event" and "site".
During the tournament in Nussloch I used to produce pgn-files with the playing
program Fritz 4.01 and had no problems. Today I used ChessBase to produce the
following pgn file and found out, that some signs were not translated correctly
(e.g. "1/2-1/2 -> " - "). Comment signs like "??" appear as "$4". In order to
control the file I loaded it with the playing program Fritz and it worked. I
hope you can read my file.
