with the issue.
A tremendous week of chess. The Dortmund chess tournament has started
with Peter Leko and Peter Svidler leading after two rounds. Under scrutiny will
be Vladimir Kramnik who will play Veselin Topalov for the reunified world title
in September although his manager has said that he won't be revealing any of
his preparation. The Biel chess tournament is coming to a boil. After seven
rounds Alexander Morozevich has lost two games to Magnus Carlsen but won the
rest of his games to lead. Morozevich, Carlsen and Teimour Radjabov will
clearly fight it out for the tournament in the remaining three rounds. The
summer of chess continues with a total of 4452 games in the games section.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

The Czech Open took place 21st-29th July 2006. Stanislav Novikov won the
main A tournament with 7.5/9. Sadly the event received world wide coverage for
a different reason. English player 19 year old Jessie Gilbert had scored 3/5 in
the B1 group when she died in a fall from the 8th floor apartment where she was
staying. The story was picked up everywhere with sleepwalking and suicide being
the two explanations. There were subsequent allegations about her family life
which made front page news in England and later throughout the world. All very
sad and such a terrible waste of a talented young life.
Interview with Stanislav Novikov
Petr Pisk sends this interview with the winner.
Stanislav Novikov, the winner of grandmaster tournament PARDUBICE OPEN,
is not typical chess player. This 21-years-old man doesn’t have regular
training; sometimes he just plays with his friends. He enjoys his life same as
young people around him. Chess are fun to him, that’s all. It was the
biggest success for him to win PARDUBICE OPEN. He didn’t win such
tournament before. He played without fear, he didn’t prepared for his
opponents, but tried to play as best as possible in each movement. Maybe he won
the tournament because of this free and easy attitude.
What were your expectations before the tournament?
I wanted to finish 10th. I didn’t think I could win. It is
amazing. I feel really good right now.
How would you evaluate your last game against David Navara? You have
beaten the number one of the tournament...
I didn’t think about this game before we started. I didn’t
think I could win. But my beginning was pretty good and I put Navara under
pressure. He made couple of mistakes and I took advantage of that. I am
satisfied with my performance.
Which game was the hardest one?
I think the game against Stocek was really hard. My position
wasn’t very good, so I was glad it was a draw. Concerning the last game
against Navara, it was hard to prepare mentally.
How important is this victory for you?
This was the tournament of my life. I have never won such a tournament.
Concerning my previous victories, I was 2nd at the Aeroflot festival in Moscow
in B category, that’s it.
How did you like CZECH OPEN festival?
This is the first time I was here. I didn’t have high
expectations, but everything here was great. I really liked it very much. I was
able to concentrate on my own performance all the time; there was nothing to
disturb me. From the beginning till the end I didn’t have bigger problem.
I will definitely come next year. What are my chances to win this tournament
again? Fifty fifty.
Are you going to celebrate your victory?
I will celebrate with my friends. But concerning alcohol I am cautious.
I don’t drink too much. I watch my regime, it is important for me.
Is it hard to be a professional player in Russia?
There is a very competitive culture in Russia. It is hard to make chess
your living. I will leave immediately to other tournament, after that I will
play at Cheljabinsk open. It is not always easy to travel a lot, but I have to
play as much tournaments as possible to make money from playing chess. It is
hard job, but I like it. I play chess as a professional for two years, but
still chess is fun and I like it.
Do you play also some league chess?
I play in the Russian league. My team is Lada Togliatty. We finished
10th of 12. We definitely need to improve on this result next year.
How often do you practice chess?
I play irregularly. I don’t have nor training plan nor coach.
Sometimes I meet my friends who are also grandmasters and we play together. I
am not all the time in chess. I live common way of life. I like sport, cinema
or dating girls.

be on 20th-28th August 2006.
Rudolf Teschner 16th February 1922 - 23rd July 2006 has died at the age
of 84. Teschner won the German championship in 1951, achieved a draw against
Fischer at the Stockholm Interzonal in 1962, and shared 4th place in the very
strong Bamberg tournament in 1968 (1st Keres, 2nd-3rd Petrosian, Schmid, 4th -
5th Unzicker, Teschner). He was an IM throughout his career but was also
awarded an honorary GM title in 2000 which simply reflected the fact that
anyone who earned an IM title when he did had performances clearly in excess of
GM strength these days. However, his fame probably lies in the many very
successful books on chess he wrote, and in editing the "Deutsche
Schachzeitung",which for many years was the most important magazine of its kind
in Germany. News: Charles Milton Ling.

15th Kavala Open
The 15th Kavala Open takes place 4th-11th August 2006. There is one
(traditional) Open Tournament, which is at the same time the Greek
Championships. This year they decided to form two groups with very low elo
players competing separately, so as not to create great elo differences and
discourage high-ranked players from participating (and being paired with a 1400
player, when a game loss, or draw might mean an "elo catastrophy") on a swiss
tournament such as this one. This separation of low elos and the bigger ones is
done for the first time in Greece, previously all competed in one tournament.
The 1st group players will be eligible for Greek Open titles in men's and
women's competitions.
Entries must be sent by fax to + 30.2510.226871 or by e-mail :

Vladimir Kramnik vs. Deep Fritz Match Announced
Vladimir Kramnik will play the ChessBase computer program Deep Fritz in
a 6 game match 25th November - 5th December 2006 in the German’s Art and
Exhibition Hall in Bonne. Kramnik stands to win a prize of $1 Million US for a
win in the match doubling his starting fee.
Asked how he estimates his chances, Kramnik reacted cautiously: "Fritz
examines millions of moves per second. It is extraordinarily difficult to play
against such a calculating monster. Right from the start you are walking on a
very narrow ridge, and you know that any inattentiveness will be your downfall.
It is a scientific experiment and I will have to fight very hard for my
chance." The WCC is being organized by Universal Event Promotion (UEP), in
cooperation with the Art and Exhibition Hall.
Schedule: Game 1: Saturday 25.11.2006 16h Game 2: Monday 27.11.2006 16h
Game 3: Wednesday 29.11.2006 16h Game 4: Friday 01.12.2006 16h Game 5: Sunday
03.12.2006 16h Game 6: Tuesday 05.12.2006 16h During the entire period of the
match the Art and Exhibition Hall will offer a varied program.
