2) Dortmund International Tournament
---------------------------------
20 year old Vladimir Kramnik scored an impressive victory
in the Dortmund International Tournament. He was pressed
hard all the way by Anatoly Karpov who finished half
a point behind. Peter Leko made a very solid impression
losing only in the final round. Ivanchuk played a very lacklustre
tournament, he never really got going after his round 1 loss.
My thanks to Otto Borik of Schach Magazin 64 for the games.

4) VI INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT "MIGUEL NAJDORF"
SAN SEGUNDO AND VAN WELY FINISHING ON TOP
********************************************
by Roberto Alvarez
The young spanish master Pablo San Segundo , 25 years old, got his
final Grand Master norm, winning the "VII International tournament
Miguel Najdorf", with 7,5 points from 11 rounds. With the same score
but less Sonneborn-Berger was the promising Netherlands player Loek Van Wely,
who was the leader for almost the entire tournament, but lost ground in
round 10 when he was defeated by IGM Pablo Zarnicki.
In third place was Argentine IM Hugo Spangenberg, who had a very good
second half of the tournament obtaining his first IGM norm, drawing with
American IGM Nick De Firmian.
By the way, Argentine IM Pablo Ricardi lost (for second time) the potential
to obtain a GM norm : he was beaten by IM Jorge Szmetan.
This tournament was played in the "Centro Cultural Buenos Aires", in Buenos
Aires City, from July 8 to 18.
According to "Don" Miguel Najdorf, the best games were Zarnicki- Van Wely
and Van Wely-San Segundo, both with pretty combinations.

5) 25 Years of the N.B.C by Bertrand Weegenaar and H. van Houten
--------------------------------------------------------------
25 Years of the N.B.C. (Nederlandse Bond voor Correspondentieschakers)
by Bertrand Weegenaar, editor Schaakschakeringen and
H. van Houten, sysop PreChess BBS Chess Bulletin Services
There was a strong correspondence chess scene in the Netherland even before
the founding of the NBC in 1966. One historical study suggested that the
first correspondence chess in the Netherlands dates back to the 17th
Centuary, however the first known game is from 1804.
The Modern era started after the 2nd World War. This was when several
strong players, such as, Dick Smit, Henk Mostert, Mulder van Leens Dijkstra
started playing in the WorldChampionship qualifying tournaments.
Unfortunately none of these players qualified for the final event but they
had other achievements.
At the start, just after the war, correspondence chess was administered as
part of the normal Netherlands Chess Federation, the K.N.S.B.
Already several very strong OTB players recognised the possibilities of
testing new ideas using correspondence chess. Max Euwe played a number of
games testing new lines against Napolitano and Hans Bouwmeester included
correspondence chess as part of his teaching methods. Not least Th.van
Scheltinga was the first participant from the Netherlands in a World
Championship tournament.
There were however also very strong pure correspondence chessplayers
starting at that time, Cor Mulder van Leens Dijkstra (the first Dutch GM)
Ger van Perlo, and Hoelscher, to mention a few.
By 1966 a situation had arisen in which the strong correspondence
chessplayers weren't happy with the little attention their sport and their
sportmen's needs got from the OTB-organisation (K.N.S.B.).
The N.B.C. was born in Arnhem initiated by B.Perfors (President), D.Smit
(Secretary), H.Mostert (still tournament director), also president of the
ICCF, H.Sarink and J.Zaagman (tournament organisor). Strong ties with the
ICCF were present from the very start.
The magazine Schaakschakeringen was founded in 1966 to provide the players
in the different N.B.C.-tournaments with information on the results in
their groups. Furthermore it gave them the possibility to publish games and
analysis.
The first N.B.C. Dutch Championships were held the following year, and were
won by H.Bouwmeester (above H.Holscher and K.Mulder van Leens Dijkstra).
This year will see the start of the 25th edition.
This event has provided the early experience for a lot of international
players. Now 11 Dutch players have the ICCF grandmaster title:
K.Mulder van Leens Dijkstra (+), Pieter Seewald (+), (Pieter was the last
Dutch player to receive the GM-title. Unfortunately he died two months
ago.) H.Bouwmeester, P.Boll, D.van Geet, A.den Ouden, G.van Perlo,
H.Sarink, D.Smit, G.Timmerman, Tj.Wiersma and J.van Oosterom. Furthermore
there are 21 ICCF-masters and several ICCF International tournament
leaders.
Beside these individual successes, there were also Dutch team successes to
celebrate. One of the reasons was the ability of people like Mulder van
Leens Dijkstra to create a teamspirit, even in something as individual as
correspondence chess.
Its result: bronze medals in the I and III European Team Tournament, and
several participations in Olympiad-finals.
The city of Den Bosch has won the 2nd International City Tournament. At
this moment a Dutch Men's team plays in the XI Olympiad Final and a women's
team takes part in the Ladies IV Final.
Also, in organising strong tournaments, the N.B.C. has tried to set
standards. From 1969-1972 the first NBC Mastertournament was held. This
was won by A.den Ouden (NL) above S.Brilla Banfalvi (H) and C.Groeneveld
(NL).
From 1976-1980, the Perfors Memorial was organised as a tribute to
B.Perfors who was a stimulating force in the Dutch correspondence world. It
was won by K.Richardson (GB), above second placed D.Smit (NL) and P.Clarke
(GB). To Celebrate the 15th anniversary of the N.B.C., two tournaments were
held: the Volmac Grandmasters and Masters tournaments.
The Grandmasters group was won by H.Rittner (DDR), above Tj.Wiersma (NL),
G.Timmerman (NL) and H.Bouwmeester (NL). The Master group was won by D.van
Geet (NL) above D.Orseth (N).
In 1991 the NBC 25-Jubilea started with 21 players including several top 20
CC Grandmasters. It was finished in 1994.
1. GM G.Timmerman(NL) 17,5/21
2. GM J.van Oosterom (NL) 16,
3. A.Soltau (GER) 14,5
4. O.Ekebjaerg (DK) 14
5. T.Wibe (NOR) 13,5
It looks as if our own tournaments gave a lot of players stimulace to try
their best!!
The future for correspondence chess in the Netherlands is maybe as good or
bad as in all other countries. These are expensive times, uncertain
political situations makes it impossible for many people to play chess at
their best, the strength of chesscomputers of which a lot of people think
it will threaten at least the fun in correspondence chess (I myself am a
strong opponent against this opinion.) But on the other hand we have a lot
of strong, even very young players who already play for the highest titles
in individual and team tournaments. And these players are supported by a
lot of older, very experienced players.
So beware when your opponent is from the Netherlands: we know how to play
chess, even correspondence chess. In which a small country can be big. To
give you some examples, I have choosen recent games. (It was also tempting
to show you very good games from the past, maybe some other time.)
Gert Jan Timmerman
-------------------
Gert Jan Timmerman is probably the most successful correspondence
chessplayer at the moment. Every tournament in which he recently
participates has ended in a win. He was twice Dutch Champion in K/10 (1982)
with 11.5/14 and in K/12 (1984) also with 11.5/14. He won the 7th Dutch
open in 1985. He has played in several grandmaster tournaments such as the
NBC/15 Volmac Jubilea (in second place with 10/14 after H.Rittner), first
in the NBC/25-Jubilea above J.van Oosterom (NL), second in the Bdf
40/jubilea after H.Bouwmeester (NL). He also won the ICCF-Cup V Final
(1993). In the FinJub 30-tournament his score of 12,5 out of 14 secured a
first place.
Quoted the game:
O.Ekebjaerg (DEN) - G.Timmerman (Netherlands) Frankenstein-Dracula C27
Ger van Perlo
-------------
Ger van Perlo is one of the 12 GM's in the Netherlands and also he has had
the title for one of the longest periods of time. He has participated in
many tournaments including 1/2- and 3/4 Finals of WM. He now is playing in
the Olympiad XI-Final and several GM-invitational tournaments. He is a
player who will take enormous risks, which often gives him very pretty wins
(and sometimes a loss or two of course!). He is author of the Endgame
column in Schaakschakeringen to which he provides material from a
manuscript on practical endgames.
Quoted game: Sowray, Peter ENG- Van Perlo, Ger NED KINGS GAMBIT
Peter Boll
----------
Peter Boll is one of the youngest GM's. He reached this title with his win
in the Italian invitation tournament the Silli Memorial which he won. He
started recently in the XIV-WM final. The first Dutch player to qualify for
many years. He was second in the 8th Dutch Championships (after H.Temmink)
with 10.5/14. He also reached a Dutch Open-final (1976-1985) in which he
was second after GM G.Timmerman. In the following game he scored the point
he needed to become ICCF-grandmaster.
Quoted game:
A.Zanetti (Italy) - P.Boll (Netherlands) Silli Memorial 1990-1993
Queensgambit Noteboom/Abrahams
Jeroen Noomen
---------------
Jeroen Noomen was the winner of the Dutch Open which started in 1987 and
was finished this year. he won the final with a score of 6/6. The following
game shows his well thought out style. In the opening his opponent is
surprised by a novelty. After this the game is already lost, White only has
to prove it:
Quoted game
J. Noomen (NED) - R.Ritsema (NED) Dutch Open Final 1987 French Defence.
Joop van Oosterom
------------------
Joop van Oosterom is the great maecenas behind a lot of NBC-activities. He
was a very strong OTB-player in his student years. After a succesful
business career (co-founder of Volmac (Vo for Van Oosterom)) he has devoted
a lot of time to chess. He is also known as sponsor of the Volmac-team
(Rotterdam) and the Melody Amber-tournament. (Melody Amber is the name of
his daughter.) Joop van Oosterom was Dutch champion in K/10 (1980). He has
won a 3/4-Final for the World Championship which entitled him the right to
participate in the WM-Final. Unfortunately he couldn't take part in the
XIV-Final. Great successes recently (besides qualifing for the WM-Final)
were a second place in the NBC/25-Jubilea tournament and membership of the
bronze-winning team in the III-European teamtournament. The next game is
from that tournament.
Quoted game:
J.J.v.Oosterom (NED) - A.Lanc (CZE) Gruenfeld Defence.
Evert Poel
----------
Evert Poel is the most recent winner of the Dutch Championships (K/23,
1995). Most points in this tournament where hard fought, of which next game
against no 2, Arend Hotting with an equal score, is a good example.
Quoted game: A. Hotting - E. Poel Sicilian, Najdorf B99

6) Swiss Championship (Villars sur Ollon): by Fabian Maeser
==================
IM Yannick Pelletier (19) became the youngest Swiss champion ever.
He finished second behind English GM Joe Gallagher who lives in
Switzerland and who will probably soon be playing for Switzerland, too.
The new women's champion is WGM Tatjana Lemachko (Ex-Bulgarian - has
been living in Switzerland for many years now). The open tournament
was won by Russian GM Miron Sher.
7) Irish National Championships by Kieran English
----------------------------------------------
The 1995 Irish championship sponsored by Morris Insulations was won by
Brian Kelly last weekend at the Teachers' Club in Dublin. With a score of
7/9, the young Belfaster finished a clear point ahead of his nearest rivals
and becomes, at sixteen years and eight months, the youngest Irish champion
by two months ahead of John Moles who won in 1965. Kelly conceded only one
loss - to Gerry O'Connell - and two draws - to Antony Fox and Kieran
Moynihan - and scored victories over former Irish champion Stephen Brady as
well as internationals Conor O'Shaughnessy and Joe Ryan. After a poor start
(2.5/5) top seed Colm Daly failed to recover sufficient ground to challenge
the champion and had to be content with a share of second place.

SPECIAL FEATURES
At the opening ceremonies food and refreshments were served to all
comers, CFC Governors Annual meeting was held on July 10th and
11th, basically the same people were reelected except that I was
replaced as CFC treasurer by Dan Majstorovic. All events were
successful, the tournament ran smoothly and without major problems or
incidents. The Chess Federation of Canada had their bookstore at
the site selling their usual sundry of chess books, equipment etc.
The idea of 1995 Canadian Open was to do little special events and
activities to add special features, the little touches that mean
everything.
GRANDMASTER PARTICIPATION: Although in Toronto we lack the kind of
support one can get in some other communities we found a way to
attract three grandmasters. The presence of Kevin Spraggett,
Eduardas Rozentalis and David Norwood added spice and stature to
the tournament.
PRIZES were actually higher than projected and ended up at $17,800.
ATTENDANCE: Overall participation of 303 participants is a record
for at least 10 years for the Canadian Open. Many fine players
were at hand the most interesting being: IM's Deen Hergott, Bryon
Nickoloff, Lawrence Day, Zdenko Krnic and Zvonko Vranesic. We
should also mention Ron Livshits, Grant Spraggett, Ian Findlay, Ray
Stone, Hans Jung, Gordon Taylor, Laszlo Bekefi, Goran Milicevic,
Eduardo Teodoro IV, etc, etc.
GRANDMASTER LECTURE: Kevin Spraggett held a lecture on pre-game
preparation in modern tournament practice. Thirty people attended
and were generally delighted with both the lecture and the question
and answer period on a variety of subjects that followed the actual
lecture.
THE BULLETIN: as you know was published including as many games as
possible. People contributing their time for the bulletin were
Smilja Vujosevic, Noel Daez, Sam Sharpe and Vojin Vujosevic. We
felt a major event needs a daily bulletin.
SPEED TOURNAMENT: A 74 player Speed Championship was run by TD
Ignac Vucko. Josip Mihaljevic of Toronto won with 15 points out of
20 games ahead of Montreal's Thanh Nha Duong with 14.5, Goran
Milicevic of Toronto and Lars Veno Jakobsen of Denmark 14 points,
Todd Southam of London, Ontario and Roderick Teodoro with 13.5 etc.
The winner's share was $140, total prize fund $1,000.
SPECIAL CHESS BOARDS: were designed and printed through efforts of
Alex Knox of Toronto. They were made of stronger special material
to last. The logos of CFC, OCA, and GTCL as well as the name of
the tournament were printed on the edges. Players were allowed to
take them as souvenirs after the last round.
SCORESHEET BOOKLETS: were printed through the efforts of Alex Knox.
They were distributed to all the participants.
GRANDMASTER LECTURE: Eduardas Rozentalis gave a simultaneous which
was unfortunately not well attended.
CANADIAN OPEN T-SHIRT: Designed and produced through the efforts of
Maurice Smith sold out completely all 96 of them.
ORGANIZERS & TD'S: Many compliments were received on behalf of Alex
Knox, Maurice Smith, Ignac Vucko, Vojin Vujosevic, Frank Thiele,
John Puusa, Noel Daez & Sam Sharpe.
Our thanks go to the Downtown Toronto Best Western Primrose Hotel
and its manager Mr. Michel Meijer for their continual support of
chess in Toronto.
In addition to the Primrose Hotel other sponsors were: Greater
Toronto Chess League, Ontario Chess Association, Finnair and
a bunch of volunteers and contributors to numerous to mention.
The "chess circus" moves on to Montreal for the next week's Quebec
Open and then to North Bay, Ontario on Lake Nipissing for the
North Bay International boasting: GM's Yermolinski, Shabalov,
Spraggett, Rozentalis, Kaidanov, Zsuzsa Polgar and an array
of IM's and Canadian masters ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My thanks to Steven Rix for the games. He comments:
Closer examination reveals that the Scottish was in fact a 14-player
9-round Swiss. This explains some of the pairings, e.g. in the last
Round McNab's victory against Burnett meant that he finished tied for
first place and Burnett tied for last! I'd like to know what John Shaw's
performance rating was, because I'm pretty sure he made an IM norm
(in stark contrast to his efforts at last year's Champ in Edinburgh).
Some further thoughts about the Scottish. All players were ...Scottish.
Dave Kilgour was down as being of unknown or no country, but he's from
the Borders region. His SCA rating is about 2350, but the SCA grader
Dougie Bryson thinks that this is not a fully valid rating because he
wins most of his games, against 1800s and rarely plays against 2200+s.
He doesn't seem to have been in contention for Olympiad team places,
for example.
Presumably your tables ignore results against unrated players, in that
the performance rating for a rated player only involves games against
other rated players. McNab played weaker opposition than Shaw, but had
a higher rating performance, which I attribute to his draw against Kilgour
being unrated ... along with Shaw and Mannion's wins. In that case, Shaw
scored a 2451 result against 8 rateds, plus a win against an unrated,
which must act in his favour. Quite likely an IM norm, then.
12) Copenhagen Open Tournament games from Under Uret /Flemming Jensen
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to confirm that the table was complete and correct and that
the Copenhagen Open finished after 10 rounds. Bosko Grove
has provided a small correction to one of the games. Glek - Borge (10)
it is 29. f3 not 29. a3
13) World Open
----------
This was reported in TWIC 40, won by Yermolinsky and played
July 1st-4th. A selection of World Open games has been provided
by Eduardo Bauza Mercere.
