1) Introduction

My thanks to Brent Kitson, Miklós Orsó, David Cohen, Hirokaz Onoda, Lahcene Chemali, Jonathan Ray Fortune, Argiris Kotsis, Dave Clayton, Sotiris Logothetis, George Mirijanian and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The Russian Championship has finally got under way today. However the last week has seen a number of very disappointing developments. Firstly Vladimir Kramnik withdrew saying he was still suffering ill effects from the flu he suffered from during his match against Leko. This led to Alexander Khalifman's invitation being withdrawn in order to even the numbers up. Then with only a day to go Anatoly Karpov withdrew from the event with no satisfactory explanation (something about business partners not allowing him to play but this seems bizarre considering how long the event has been on the calendar). The lateness of his withdrawal meant that it was too late to invite Khalifman back to even the numbers back up and the event now goes ahead with 11 players. The event is still very strong and I guess Kasparov is the favourite but is by no means the certain winner.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) Russian Championship

The Russian Championship takes place November 14th - December 1st 2004 in the hotel Russia. The prize fund is $125,000 with $50,000 to the winner (paid in rouble equivalent). The all-play-all event sees Garry Kasparov, Alexander Morozevich, Alexander Grischuk, Peter Svidler, Evgeny Bareev, Alexey Dreev, Vitaly Tseshkovsky, Alexander Motylev, Vladimir Epishin, Artem Timofeev and Alexey Korotylev compete. The event is the strongest championship since 1988. Vladimir Kramnik withdrew at the last moment and the regulations stated that the event would go down to 12 players with Khalifman missing out (a bit harsh). Russian Championship 2004 - Kramnik Press Release: http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/event/chrus04/kramnik.html. The event is now down to 11 players as Karpov also withdrew at the last moment with no attempt to give a serious excuse.

6) Karpov vs Sadvakasov Match

There was a match in Astana November 4th-10th 2004 between Anatoly Karpov and Darmen Sadvakasov there were four normal time rate games (Sadvakasov won this section 2.5-1.5) and four rapid games (drawn 2-2). The official site is http://www.chess.awd.kz/ but bizarrely it appears to give the moves only after move 21.

Miroslav Radojcic Book

Miroslav ("Miro") Radojcic who died in 2000 was one of Yugoslavia's most renowned political journalists for their paper Politika. During the 1960s he worked out of the UN in New York as Politika's foreign correspondent to the US, and later in the 1970s he was assigned the same post for London. But he was also a popular figure in the chess arena, both as a player (he was a Yugoslav National Master) and writer on chess, including a long- running column in the American magazine Chess Review titled,

Bruce Monson bamonson@pcisys.net is writing a book with Yugoslav author Dimitry Bjelica on a book commemorating Radojcic's life and hopes that people who knew Miro will read about this effort on TWIC and contact him with information they may have about him, particularly unusual or funny stories, witty quotes, or other interesting anecdotes.

All those who have something to offer will receive mention in the credits, and those who have substantive material to offer (e.g., extended or multiple narrative accounts, scans of photos and other Radojcic-related memorabilia, etc.) will receive a free copy of the book.

Hastings Chess Congress

The Hastings Chess Congress takes place 28th December 2004 to 9 January 2005 and has a new format. The Hastings Premier and Challengers are combined into one knockout tournament. Let us imagine 120 players enter for the event which finishes 6th January. Then 60 players go forward from the first round, with 4 lucky losers. These 64 players play a second round of knockout. The 56 losers play in the Challengers Swiss. The 64 players continue in one game knockouts until there are 8 players left. These 8 play in the Premier of 2 game knockouts. All players knocked out will be contracted to play in the Swiss Challengers, except for the losing finalists.

Players when knocked out will carry forward their score in the standard play games. Of course White would have been a big advantage. Thus White will have 65 minutes and Black 95 in which to make all their moves, with the addition of one minute per move cumulatively from the first. Where games are drawn, ties will be resolved first by blitz games, failing that an Armageddon play-off. Players will be able to gain title results from either event. The event will be part of the Association of Chess Professionals GP.

The weekend tournament takes place 7-9 January.
