1) Introduction
---------------
Another week another issue. It was looking a bit thin until the
end of the week (especially for those who read rec.games.chess)
but news of a number of interesting events reached me on Saturday
and the Bank Hoffmann Rapidplay news reached me today. As I was
playing chess yesterday (you'll be relieved hear that my game
doesn't appear!) I was delayed until Sunday, this had the effect
of adding at least 20 games to the issue! The highlights are of
course the US Championships and the Sicilian Theme Tournament, both
of which should be drawing to a close by this time next week.
Games from Kasparov's Simuls in Israel and the Israeli Championships
should follow next week too.

2) FIDE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
--------------------------
The first moves in clarifying the positions of the Candidates
for FIDE Presidents are being made. Below is Barchar Kouatly's
proposals as to what he will do as FIDE President. The key
passage is this :
"The importance and identity of the World Chess Championship should be
carefully preserved, so that the ultimate goal of every chess player
will be to participate in the World Chess Championship. With the
proposal of a one-year cycle, more countries and more players will
have direct opportunities to contest the final stage of the world
chess championship. The Zonal or Continental Tournaments will thus be
organised annually resulting in more activities in all parts of the
world."
This would seem to my untrained eye like a rejection of deals
with the PCA. As I understand it, Makropolos and Durao are likely
to seek an appropriate relationship with the PCA if elected. I
would imagine that the details of which will become clear as the
campaign goes on.

12 October 1994
Dear Chess Friends,
We first wrote to you on 22 August 1994 to introduce ourselves and we
would like to keep you current on what has been happening since then.
However, we delayed this letter because we were waiting for the outcome
of an emergency meeting of the FIDE Presidential Board in Graz last
week. The Chess Olympiad was, until then, uncertain to take place in
Greece. Nevertheless, we are sure you have received an announcement
from FIDE and the invitation of the Russian Chess Federation that the
Chess Olympiad will take place in Moscow from 30 November to 17 December
1994.
Grandmaster Bachar Kouatly, our candidate for FIDE President, has since
nomination day, visited several federations in Europe, North Africa,
South-East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. He was warmly
received and had very successful dialogue. Since our first letter, we
have received numerous written and telephone comments from well-wishers.
We thank these federations for their useful input and hope our
assistance has been beneficial.
We take this opportunity to re-emphasise our concern for the tasks of
CACDEC: distribution of chess equipment and chess books, organisation
of training seminars. Unfortunately, CACDEC has been unable to optimise
its program because of budget constraints mainly because the Greek
Government has not fulfilled its financial obligations to FIDE. Under
a contractual agreement hosting of the FIDE Office in Athens, the Greek
Government was to contribute to FIDE an annual grant of SFr 250,000
payable in two semestral instalments. To date, despite four reminder
letters from the legal officers of FIDE, not even the courtesy of a
reply has been received. Our team is aware of the situation, and we are
pleased to tell you that some federations have shown interest to host
the FIDE Office. We are confident of ensuring a concrete offer when the
General Assembly meets in December. With a real home and a sincere
patron for FIDE, CACDEC will be able to implement its optimum program.
From 29 August to 3 September, the XII Olympic Congress took place in
Paris. FIDE, one of 48 International Federations present, was
represented by Mr Bachar Kouatly and Mr Casto Abundo. There, Mr Kouatly
had the opportunity of meeting Mr Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of
the IOC, and many chairmen of national sports councils and other sports
dignitaries. The possibility to have chess in future Olympic Games was
also discussed. It is important now for FIDE members to reinforce our
unity in order to achieve this goal. Federations are encouraged to seek
recognition in their respective national Olympic councils. If a great
majority of federations achieve this recognition, our vision for Chess
in the Olympic Games could be a reality by, we hope, at the turn of the
century.
The importance and identity of the World Chess Championship should be
carefully preserved, so that the ultimate goal of every chess player
will be to participate in the World Chess Championship. With the
proposal of a one-year cycle, more countries and more players will
have direct opportunities to contest the final stage of the world
chess championship. The Zonal or Continental Tournaments will thus be
organised annually resulting in more activities in all parts of the
world.
To further promote the harmonious development of man, and along with
rapid global scientific and technical progress, FIDE will provide
assistance in the implementation of Chess as an educational tool.
Successful school programs existing in Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela
will be made available through our Commission for Chess in Schools.
We shall endeavour to help the formation of such schools the world
over.
Today, it is estimated that one of every ten people knows chess and
plays chess, rarely to regularly. This equates to about half a
billion people. And if each of this introduces chess to another,
imagine the resulting numbers that surely will lead to total
recognition for their federations, for FIDE and for Chess.
We sincerely want chess to reach out to as many people as possible.
We invite you to be a partner in FIDE's progress. Please continue
to give us your input, and if there is any way you could offer to
assist us or the other members of the FIDE family, please do share
with us your experiences. We believe that concerted effort with
institutionalised teamwork ensures a more dynamic FIDE. And, if you
share with us our vision for more and greater chess development,
VOTE FOR US.
Thank you and warm regards,
Yours sincerely

4) Sicilian Theme Tournament held in honour of Polugaevsky.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Valery Salov is having a fine tournament, clearly leading after
seven of the forteen rounds. There was a little controversy at the
start of the sixth round. The players are supposed to play open
Sicilians. Most players took that to mean 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4.
However Salov initially played 4. Qxd4 against Ljubojevic , after
a justifiable complaint that this wasn't in the spirit of the event,
he replied with 4. Nxd4. He immediately varied from normal theory
playing the extremely old 5. f3, Ljubojevic played 6. ...Bd7 which
is known to be inferior and lost. The correct method of playing the
position was shown by Najdorf in the game Tartakower-Najdorf
Amsterdam 1950. Unfortunately I can't find this game, Perhaps someone
has it in their database somewhere. [gamescores for this event mostly
stem from Annette Borik]

6) OLYMPIAD TEAM NEWS
---------------------
According to Inside Chess the Russian Olympiad squad will
be: Kasparov, Kramnik, Bareev, Dreev, Tiviakov and one other
to be named later. This is an immensely strong team which on
paper should take the title easily. Could people let me know
as the different Olympiad sides are selected?
Nigel Short has informed Alan Martin - the BCF International
director that he wants an immediate formal enquiry into his
non-selection for the Olympiad.
Some reported Olympiad sides.
Israel: Yudasin, Smirin, Psachis, Alon Greenfeld, Boris Alterman,
Vadim Milov [Coach Huzman : Captain Yacov Bleiman]
England: Michael Adams, Jon Speelman, John Nunn, Tony Miles, Julian
Hodgson and David Norwood.
[Non-playing Captain Chandler.]
More information as to other teams would be useful.

* All ratings FIDE except Short where I've used the PCA rating.
Eric Lobron is in clear last place but I forgot to copy his
score down, I think it is 3.5 but I am not 100% sure.
Short and Adams have yet to play, Sololov has played them both.
Michael Adams is the only undefeated player.
