1) Introduction
---------------

Well I reach an unbelievable 50th issue! Not a bumper issue I'm
afraid. Most of the World's attention is focused on the Anand
Kasparov match and news has been hard to come by.

But the idea of TWIC is to be there to cover
the events of the week (so far as they can be obtained.) and
I don't have much material! I have got a number of helpers
and I hope that when things get hard they will enable me to
keep the quality of TWIC up over another year.

I have completely revamped my www page, especially with
the World Championships in mind. This can be accessesed
http://www.brad.ac.uk/~mdcrowth/chess.html
I hope you think it a big improvement.

My thanks to Martin Pribyl, SS Quah, Steffen A. Jakob and Bob Wade
for their help in preparing this issue.

Anyhow I'm going home to nurse a cold I've had all week. Hope you
enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) INTEL World Chess Championships
-------------------------------

Kasparov - Anand still tied after 8.
------------------------------------

Another week of short, but on the whole interesting draws was
greeted with near hysteria by those who don't understand that
the players are here to win the match. The previous
record of seven consecutive draws at the start of a title
match was held by Spassky and Petrosian. The current situation
is very tense, one win will probably bring more soon afterwards.

An interesting fact emerged this week about the prize money.
The players are officially playing for a prize fund of
$1.5 million to be split $1m to the winner and $0.5m to the
loser (money to be shared 50-50 in the case of a tied match
with Kasparov retaining the INTEL title.). Both players however
have acquiesced to a donation of 10% of their prize money towards
the running costs (especially TV coverage I believe) of the match.

Kasparov spoke after game seven, admitting that he was not in top
form yet, although he felt that is was quickly returning. He
said that the rather odd match against Short two years ago,
where there was a lot of aggressive chess played after Short
was already effectively out of the match, was not good practice
for this match. He said effectively he hadn't played a hard
World Title match since 1990 and that he was having trouble
adjusting.

I have just started reading Bob Wade's excellent new edition of
Fighting Chess. Here are some Kasparov quotes:
First about his match against Korchnoi in 1983.
"Indeed I fully expected that V. Kortschnoi would, with his experience,
would dictate the match."
"We put a lot of emphasis on psychological preparation which included
patience and peace of mind at the board."
"I was quite happy to play quiet postions until I regained my form
[after losing game 1] I was not going to be lured into double edged
positions."
About his match with Smyslov:
"A chessplayer's frame of mind depends on his play with black. If
everything is going well with Black you can calmly attack with white."
About his first match with Kasparov:
"Only a few people understand what is actually meant by chess experience.
Even I, before the match, had a quite unclear conception of what this
might consist. There's ability, talent, apportioning one's strength and
labours in the right way, how to find the critical moment of the game and
then to maintain strong nerves."

All of these are factors for the players at the moment. Finding their
best form, feeling comfortable with what they are playing and getting
the inner strength to start to take risks.

Kasparov's strengths in match play not only lie with the strength of
his play and preparation, but also in his match plan as a whole.
He will have arrived in New York with a definite idea of when to
use his best ideas and when to put his whole strength into the
whole match. Anand, who is much less experienced, will also have
such ideas. These factors more than anything else have meant that
whilst they have both played some testing ideas, once they fail
to land the Knock-out blow they are agreeing a draw. This situation
will not pursist, I am certain.

Anand has played the same Sicilian Variation in all his games.
It is relatively quiet, something which fits in with his idea
of how the early games should go. Kasparov has varied his openings,
probably trying to find a weakness onto which he can set his
analytical team onto. How these battles develop will be fascinating.

THE GAMES
---------

Just some brief comments. I'm not qualified to annotate these games
in detail.

Games 5 and 7 were again the B58 variation of the Sicilian that
Anand has played throughout this match.

   Na4 Qd6 22.Qe3 Qb4 23.Rfc1 c5 24.Qf3 Nf6 25.Nc3 Bd8 26.exd5 exd5?

Kasparov believed after the game that 26. ... Bxb6 27. axb6 Qxb6
28. Na4 Qb5! that Black would have had winning chances.
"After 28...Qd6? 29.dxe6 Rxe6 30.b4! White is better.
With 28...Qb5! 29.dxe6 Rxe6 30.d4 c4 31.Nc5 Rd6 32.Qc3 Rcd8, I would be
better."

 27. Nxd5 Nxd5

Its dead drawn. 1/2-1/2

Anand, Viswanathan - Kasparov, Gary [B85]
INTEL World Champ. New York USA (7), 1995

As above varying with 15. Bb6.

15. Bb6 Qb8 16.e5 dxe5 17.fxe5 Nfd5 18.Nxd5 exd5 19.Re1 h6 20.c3 Nxd3 21.Qxd3
Bc5!

I like this move. Its the one Black wants to make if he can get it
to work. Very quickly the position again becomes level.

22.Qxd5 Be6 23.Qd2 Bxb6 24.axb6 Rc6 25.Ra4 Rxb6 1/2-1/2

Kasparov, Gary - Anand, Viswanathan [C80]
INTEL World Champ. New York USA (6), 1995

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Nxe4

So much for insider predictions. Leko said to me that Kasparov
would never allow this line. However Kasparov does chose the
potentially violent 11. Ng5 instead of normal lines.

6. d4 b5 7. Bb3 d5  8. dxe5 Be6 9. Nbd2 Nc5 10. c3 d4 11. Ng5

First played by Karpov against Korchnoi in their 1978 World
Title match. Said to be an idea of Tal's. Its not a good idea
to take the knight (although not totally out of the question)

dxc3 12. Nxe6 fxe6 13. bxc3 Qd3 14. Nf3

Up to here all has been seen before.

O-O-O

Anand's new idea. It seems to place him in some trouble to me.

15. Qe1 Nxb3 16. axb3 Kb7 17. Be3 Be7 18. Bg5! h6
19. Bxe7 Nxe7 20. Nd4 Rxd4

According to Speelman in today's Observer, absolutely forced.

21. cxd4 Qxb3 22. Qe3

Kasparov's big decision. The main alternative is 22. Qc1.
22. ...Qd5 and 22. .... Nd5 are losing. But 22. ...Qb4
a suggestion of Pal Benko's may keep Black on the board.

Qxe3 23. fxe3 Nd5 24. Kf2 Kb6 25. Ke2 a5 26. Rf7 a4 27. Kd2 c5?

Kasparov admitted that this was a mistake. 27. Rd8 puts far
more pressure on Anand's position.

28. e4

Kasparov himself criticised his draw offer here.  Kasparov
believes that 28. ... Nb4 is the only move and even then
Anand would have to play accurately. Kasparov is obviously
not in confident mood at the moment.

Speelman gives the following:

28. ...Nc7 29. Rd7 cxd4 (29. ...c4 is interesting) 30. Rc1
Na6 and White is much better.

28. ....Nb4 29. Re7 cxd4 30. Rxe6+ Ka5 31. Rd6 where Black must
avoid 31. ... Rf8 as this loses to 32. e6 Rf2+ 33. Kd1 Rf1+
34. Ke2 Ra1 35. e7 d3+ 36. Rxd3 Nxd3 37. Kxd3!

1/2-1/2

Kasparov, Gary - Anand, Viswanathan
INTEL World Champ. New York USA (8), 1995

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nxc6 bxc6 6. e5 Qe7 7. Qe2
Nd5 8. c4 Ba6 9. b3 g5!?

This is new. Normal choices are 9. ...Qh4 (does very well on my database)
9. ...g6 and 9. ...0-0-0 are both common.) The idea is to play the g6
lines with f4 prevented. Kasparov plays Ba3 which he has played against
Karpov's g6.

10. Ba3 d6 11. exd6 Qxe2+ 12. Bxe2  Bg7 13. cxd5 Bxe2 14. Kxe2 Bxa1

Somewhere Kasparov has gone badly astray. After looking at the alternatives
whilst the game was being played we found 15. Rc1 as being forced.

15. Rc1 O-O-O

This is preparation still and was played quickly. The game has followed
Kuksov-Aleksandrov from 1991 except that in that game 9. ...g6 had been
played.

16. Rxc6 Rhe8+ 17. Kd3  Rd7 18. Nc3

This was played after a long thought and is an excellent move.


Bxc3 19. Kxc3 Re5 20. Kc4 Re4+

If there is a try for a win then it is with 20. ...Kb7.
That is for future analysis.

I was told that Short for one was analysing the position and that
the draw was expected. Kasparov is quoted as suggesting:

20...Re2 21 Bc5 Rxa2 22 b4, and white is absolutely fine.
eg 22...Ra1, then 23 dc Rxc7 24 Rf6 and White would have:
a strong Bishop on c5 well protected by the b4 pawn;
a strong, passed d6-Pawn; an active Rook;
and active play against the weak Black Pawns.

21. Kd3  Re5 22. Kc4 Re4+ 1/2-1/2

A natural result to a high quality game. This is why Kasparov is so
hard to beat.

3) FIDE Cancel all and start again.
--------------------------------

It appears that France has cancelled its proposal to hold an
extraordinary General Assembly FIDE meeting next November.
However this appears to be part of a deal in which Qatar
will also announce the cancelation of the congress due
to be held there. France will be then awarded the Congress.
All very strange, but we'll have to see what happens. There
will be further announcements this week (we are told) about
the venues etc of the various events that FIDE hopes to
hold. Including the long delayed Karpov - Kamsky match.
(Of course the announcement may be that there is no announcement.)

4) Tesco Open.

a computer corporation in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.) directly from the
Bojnice Castle. Bojnice Castle is one of the nicest castles in Slovakia.

Anatoly Karpov played this weekend in the Czech Republic in a small town
Tyniste nad Orlici (about 130 km east of Prague) The event was the European
Club Cup. Two of eight teams did not come (Lyon, France and the team from
Reggio Emilia, Italy). Anatoly Karpov won an excellent endgame
against Boris Alterman. The Yugoslavian team Agrouniverzal Zemun (Karpov,
Gelfand, Beliavsky, Damljanovic, Abramovic, Vukic and Lazic) won the
qualification event. In the last 3rd round they had defeated the Israelis
