1) Introduction
---------------
My thanks to Graham Burgess, Christophe Bouton, Lars Zwisler (and the
very organised team in Denmark), Bjarke Kristensen, Sinisa Joksic,

Bertrand Weegenaar. I hope that is a complete list as these big TWIC's
tend to leave me a little dizzy.
A very busy week. I had forgotten that in the Summer there were so
many events. Hopefully I've included everything that I intended to
do and that the rough edges aren't too bad.
Please take note of the Batsford statement in response to Fischer's
Press conference.
Karpov - Kamsky never ceases to amaze in its twists and turns. The
match has almost run its course and the fighting spirit has been
excellent. If Kamsky had managed to win the adjourned game 13 then
things could have got really tense, but who knows what the final
week will bring, Kamsky clearly hasn't given up just yet even on
the edge of defeat.
The Dortmund tournament should warm up just nicely by this time
next week. The first round games looked a little tense to me
and after finishing this issue I am looking forward to seeing the
second round games. If Madrid and Dos Hermanas are anything to
go by the top players are only just getting into gear.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

Kamsky battles against near certain defeat
------------------------------------------
I started last week's article with "Kamsky has a good week .... so far" and
this was probably a good idea! Game 13 was continuing and although it looked
like it might end in a draw there were other results still possible. Game
13 in fact was a major game in deciding the title.
The week ended with Karpov requiring just one from the last four games.
It is hard to believe that Kamsky can come back from here against Karpov.
After Sunday's game the whole match was in the balance. Karpov had an
edge which he seemed to be increasing move by move. Just after the
first time-control he made a positional sacrifice of a pawn in order
to break up Kamsky's position. He had however missed something (probably
Kamsky's g5 idea) and the game was adjourned on move 57 with Karpov just
about to go two pawns down. Surely an easy win and being only two down
with seven to play he was back in the match. The adjournment session on
Monday was key. For a long time it looked like Kamsky was making some
progress in the adjournment session, but first the g pawns were exchanged
off and then Kamsky simply started re-arranging his pieces without
moving forward, gradually it became clear that although he was two
pawns up it was a draw. At first sight this result looked like bad
adjournment analysis, but I have yet to find a win, and it may yet
prove that the win isn't there (or it is very studylike). Karpov's
35 minutes sealing on Sunday night weren't wasted.
Whatever happened it certainly had an effect on Kamsky. He played
an absolutely dreadful game on Tuesday. He took on Karpov's
Nimzo-Indian, which few dare to do and lost. It was Kamsky's first
loss on the White side of a Nimzo-Indian and it made a very poor
impression. Game 15 was interesting as Kamsky came out fighting
and played the Modern Benoni. Karpov avoided the ultra-critical
Bb5+ line and drew comfortably. Game 16 Kamsky and Karpov discussed
a line Karpov has played with white. Its very sharp and Karpov
played a very poor TN with Qf5. Kamsky won a pawn and ground Karpov
down, although at one point Karpov seemed to have come back into the
game he blundered and was gone in just two more moves.
I will round up the match next week but some of the comments about
Kamsky have been very ill-judged. This has been a very hard match
for both players. It has turned on just a few games. Kamsky very
definitely has an interesting personal chess style, I think of it
as a modern Sammy Reshevsky type style. To me he is a definite
class act. At 22 he has plenty of time to improve should he continue
to play after this match. His losses have shown up his weaknesses.
These are in my opinion a lack of judgement sometimes in his choice
of opening lines and that sometimes he simply loses the thread of
a game altogether. This last fault has been responsible for most
of his losses in this match and why they have looked so bad. Both
these faults seem to me to be one's of experience rather than
fundimental. His willingness to battle on in games 15 and 16
say much for his willpower, I'm sure he still believes he can
catch Karpov by game 20, which is an important part of a match
players makeup. I don't, but that really isn't important.
3) Dortmund
------------
Dortmund International Tournament 5th-14th July 1996
Having been spoilt be a series of brilliant tournament
there has been a few weeks off. I've really missed them
and now we enter another series of strong events in a
row which will probably continue throughout the Summer.
The event is being covered on the City of Dortmund www
server:
Results and games on the www
In English
HREF=http://www.dortmund.de/chess.htm
or in German
HREF=http://www.dortmund.de/schach.htm
The games appear about 2pm the following day (gosh haven't
we been spoilt recently, this seems like a slow service!)
which is actually just great. There are links from my site
to this site. One of the disappointments from the British
point of view is that Tony Miles missed the tournament having
been delayed somewhere. Eric Lobron is going to have big
problems with no preparation for this event.

4) Batsford vigorously challenge Fischer's statements in Argentina.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a statement from B.T. Batsford Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statement by B.T. Batsford Ltd.
Re: Bobby Fischer's Press Conference in Argentina
We at Batsford were appalled by the remarks reported to have been made by Bobby
Fischer about our new edition of his book My 60 Memorable Games.
Batsford purchased the right to publish this book from Faber and Faber. These
rights included the power to make alterations to make the book suitable for the
British market. Accordingly, we converted the notation to algebraic, which is
standard in all British chess publications. Our intention was to produce an
edition that was accurate and faithful to the original. There was no addition
or subtraction of intellectual material.
Bobby Fischer is fully aware of the situation regarding royalty payments.
Before the publication of the Batsford edition of My 60 Memorable Games, Graham
Burgess, the chess editor at Batsford, wrote to Bobby Fischer asking where the
royalty payments should be sent - obviously it is impossible to make any
payments without this information. The letter also enquired whether Bobby would
like to be involved in the new edition in any way. We know that he received the
letter, but the only reply took the form of a letter from Bobby Fischer's
lawyers, querying our right to publish the book. We can only presume that the
response satisfied them, since they have not come back to us in the year and a
half since then.
Thus we really don't see any grounds for complaint, and continue to wait for
Bobby Fischer to provide an address to which royalties should be sent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
----------
In Argentina Bobby Fischer gave a press conference on Wednesday
19th June 1996. There was a subsequent press release both
E-Mailed and then faxed throughout the World. The fax version
of the official press release from Argentina said:
"Fischer spoke out on several
topics. He apologized for bringing up subjects unrelated to Fischerandom Chess,
and he then began a counterattack on several companies that he claimed had been
defrauding him of huge amounts of money as well as trying to destroy his image.
He targeted the British publisher Batsford for releasing a forged and
unauthorized new edition of his renowned chess classic "My 60 Memorable Games",
for deliberately making erroneous and malicious changes in the text itself and
for never having paid him royalties for the book."
5) Copenhagen Chess Festival 1996.
-------------------------------
My thanks to Lars Zwisler and to Bjarke Kristensen for their help.
The Copenhagen www site:
http://inet.uni-c.dk/~kbhsu/news.htm
has been truely astonishing. All the games have been posted there
and that mounts up to nearly 980 games.
Copenhagen is Europe's 1996 Cultural City and has organised a
wide range of events. The Chess Festival will span from June
22nd to July 16th. A large number of open's, rapidplays etc
are taking place. However the most important international event
is the Politiken Cup.
Politiken Cup 1996.
-------------------
This 11 round event is part of the Nordic Grand Prix (sponsored by VISA). The
Politken Cup is a very strong event. Victor Korchnoi won a close event with
8.5/11 ahead of seven others on 8 points.
I have made some alterations to the PGN file distributed last week. This
is because in four cases players who I thought were rated were in fact
unrated. Also Jason Luchan pointed out a gamescore error. I have changed
the PGN file for Copenhagen on my www site from last week but have
included all changed games this week also. TWIC89PO.PGN and TWIC90PO.PGN
are now simply my final file for the event split into rounds 1-6 and rounds
7-11.
The Danish team which produced the bulletin did a sterling job in typing
in the games. I'd like to thank Lars Zwisler and Bjarke Kristensen for
their help but there was a team of four typing in the games and I would
like to thank them too.

6) "Chess Classics", Frankfurt-West GER, 28.-30.06.96 by Christoph Pfrommer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This weekend chess festival was formed of three interesting events.
[Please note that although I've had a quick flick through the games
and they look reasonable some may not be complete and some may
have errors in them. Any corrections appreciated. The games were
probably played at either 25 mins or maybe 25 mins and 5 seconds.
Mark Crowther]
First of all, there were four world class players (Shirov, Kramnik,
Huebner, Leko) meeting in a double-round rapid tournament ("Chess
Classics Masters) on Friday evening. Second, there was a large
11-rounds rapid tournament ("Chess Classics Open") with 271
participants (incl. 27 grandmasters) on Saturday and Sunday. Third,
Vladimir Kramnik gave a simul on Saturday night (+24,=14, -2) playing
with the black (!) pieces in all of the games.
The Chess Classics Masters was announced as an category-18 event.
Shirov won the event convincingly: He not only started with 5 points
from his first five games, but he also won the final with 1.5 : 0.5
over Kramnik.

On the following two days 271 participants were playing the Chess
Classics Open with the winner qualifying for next year's masters.
The competions was quite strong with 27 grandmasters including e.g.
Alexey Shirov, Peter Leko and Alexey Dreev. However, the top stars
didn't score well, their masters might have been quite strenuous
the day before...
Finally, Eric Lobron turned out to be the clear winner with excellent
10 points out of 11 games. In a short speech at the end of the
tournament Lobron said that he was "lucky in at least two games, but
Kasparov also was lucky when he won over Gelfand in the last round of
the Dos Hermanas tournament being a piece down for nothing."

7) News from Italy by Adolivio Capece
----------------------------------
There was the election for a new president of the Italian Federation.
GM Sergio Mariotti was not re-elected. The new President now is IM Alvise
Zichichi.
Italy's best player, Michele Godena, is rated 2550 in the new Fide list:
the Federation asked for the title of GM.
Igor Efimov is now "Italian": he got the ok by Fide. In a couple of weeks
we will have the names for our Olimpiad team (probably Godena, Efimov,
Arlandi, Belotti, Sarno will be in).
Adolivio sends most of the games from Ischia reported on two weeks ago.

33 year old John Richardson scored his second IM norm - his first was in
1982!
Until the eleventh hour it looked as if Ben Martin would also get an IM
norm, which would confirm beyond doubt his title before he returns to
New Zealand later in the year (via the Olympiad in Armenia). He had to
beat the lowest rated player, Bakre, but the Indian held the draw in an
81 move bishop ending.
Peter Sowray needed to score 2/2 in the final two rounds against
Richardson and Whiteley - but even after Richardson had beaten him in
their critical norm hunting encounter he did not lose heart and
demolished the IM in round 9.
Bakre proved to be a revelation after the worst start - 0/3. He went on
to beat Whiteley and blocked Martin's IM norm chances.
Tim Wall had a poor first week, arriving 45 minutes late for the first
round knowing that he was already on 0/1 having played his round five
game early so that he could disappear to Scotland at the weekend to play
in the Scottish Borders weekend congress, where he won 175 pounds and
beat a couple of IMs in the process. His success over the border
obviously gave him a fillip, since his play in the second half of the
tournament included a win against Martin.
The two Dutchmen started by arriving 45 minutes late for their first
game. Both lost. Grooten recovered to second place, but Welling's
start of 0/2 obviously upset his rhythm and he went on to lose about 10
rating points.
Whiteleys rating is dropping...

10) Andres Rodriguez mades his 2nd. GM norm
=======================================
by Roberto Alvarez
IM Andres Rodriguez, from Uruguay, mades his second GM norm at the
Rosario International tournament, a 9 rounds closed, FIDE categ. 7.
Since the beginning, Andres Rodriguez tooks the first place, and
end the tournament with 2 draws in a row, without fight, for securing
the GM result, and an obvious 1st prize 1,5 points ahead his seconds:
IM Roberto Servat (ARG), IGM Henry Urday (PER), IM Sanchez Almeyra (ARG)
and IM Miguel Andres (CUB).
A false tournament for IGM Hugo Spangenberg, who finished with only
50 % of points, and giving shorts draws at the second half of the event.
There are some missing games from the last round, because the bulletin
was not published (as usually in South American tournaments.. :( ).

The 103rd Scottish Chess Championships was offically opened by councillor David Webster
of the Argyll and Bute Council and Dr Ken Stewart, Tournament Director for the
Championships. Play will take place daily from 1.30pm at the Corran Halls in Oban.
Top seed for the tournament, Grandmaster Dr Colin McNab from Dundee, outplayed his
opponent, Ian Robertson from Dunfermline, in 45 moves with his favourite English
Opening. International Master Douglas Bryson from Glasgow, second seed, also
had an easy victory in 31 moves with a Scandinavian Defence.
With all the other games being drawn this means that the two top seeds have to
meet in the second round as they are the only players on one point.
The shock result of the day was in the Open tournament when hot favourite for the
tournament, Women Grandmaster and Women's World Championship contender, Keti
Arakhamia-Grant lost to Kevin Feigham from Grangemouth, who is nearly 1000
grading points lower than his opponent. Arakhamia-Grant, now lives in
Edinburgh after marring the Scottish Olympiad squad manager, Jonathan Grant,
recently in the City.

13) Fischerandom chess game between Bronstein and Douven
----------------------------------------------------
Tom Furstenberg reports:
IGM David Bronstein - IM Rudi Douven
This game was played on the 1st board during a friendly match on 30
boards between Chess Club Anderlecht of Belgium vs. Eindhovense
Schaakclub of The Netherlands on 30.06.96
The time limit used was 1 hour 45 minutes for the first 40 moves,
thereafter 15 minutes for the rest of the game.
The initial position for this game of Fischerandom Chess was White:

Game in PGN
-----------
[Note from MC]
My experience with FEN notation with PGN is nill. Any advice on
how to do it properly would be appreciated. The format below
works with CB Demo, it also works with xboard if in the second
part of the game you change the numbering of the moves from 11,
12 and 13 to 1, 2 and 3 (you don't need to change any more
of the moves as xboard is then fooled into taking all the rest
of the moves). In the case of cbdemo and xboard the
moves start at move one again which is very odd. Of course I've
had to split the game in two because of the castling.

Correspondence Chess by Alan Rawlings BPCF International Secretary
Here's the top 100 of the ICCF rating. The top ten is
actually much the same as a year ago, though the German player Elwert
has improved from 2620; as far as I can tell the highest newcomer is the
Qatari player Al-Thani at 2635.

17) Fifth AKN open weekend tournament Haarlem, 1996 by Eric van der Schilden
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fifth AKN weekend tournament has ended in a victory for
FM Karel van der Weide. He shares first place (and Hfl 4000,-)
with Ivan Farago, but gets the title of AKN-winner based on
his higher TPR.
The AKN tournament is probably Holland's highest-profile weekend
tournament. This is due to the organizers' policy of inviting
attractive and strong players. This year 9 GM' and 2 WGM's gave
attendance, amongst who Jaan Ehlvest.
Club "Vereeniging" served as a perfect venue for a tournament
conducted in good and friendly atmosphere by over 140 participants.
A selection of games in PGN-format can be found at:
http://www.tasc.nl/akn/
An (almost) complete version is expected there later.
Final ranking after 6 rounds.

18) Komputer Korner # 139 Virtual Chess and Bookup 1.5.2
-----------------------------------------------------
This was written by Komputer Korner
After telephoning I-Motion, I received a Virtual Chess demo disk from
the company. The demo disk lets you play a couple of moves and then the
program halts and gives you a dialogue box telling you to send for the
real thing. I was impressed with the 3D graphics of the chess board and
you can rotate the board in an infinite no. of angles. The program comes
on a CD ROM and retails for approximately $60.00 CAN.. The program lets
the user offer a draw and has Fischer time controls along with all of
the other standard features we have come to expect from a playing
program including PGN and EPD support. The ECO opening code and name
are also shown. This program written by a French programmer is one of
the strongest on the market and is even stronger than CM4000. At its
low price it is a serious rival to CM4000 at the lower end of the chess
software playing program market. I-Motion has distributed the program in
3 separate versions, DOS, Windows 3.1 and WIN 95 which is the version I
reviewed. Because it was only a demo, I could not be certain whether the
WIN 95 version was optimized for 32 bit code or not and could not test
whether it took long filenames.
Now for the drawbacks: 1) The demo took too long to swap sides
and seemed to take much too long to reply with black even at blitz level
. There is an obvious bug here. 2) The largest size chessboard was too
big for my notebook computer. 3) 2 of the 3 - ThreeD (3D) piece
designs are terrible. These piece designs are obviously designed by non
chess players as many other 3D programs also insist on non Staunton
like designs . Even 3 out of 4 of the 2D piece designs are awful. By
awful, I mean you can't realistically play with them even though they
might be pretty. While we are on the topic of piece designs, the best 2D
design I have seen is the design within Chessbase. It is hard to imagine
a design better than that one and all piece designers should take note.
Instead they seem to want to design the chess pieces so that all 6 piece
types resemble each other as closely as possible instead of the ideal
which is to make each piece type as distinct as possible. Even the one
3D piece design that is playable needs improvement even though it
surpasses all other 3D chess boards on the market. The pieces could have
been much more Staunton like than they are. The black pieces are hard to
distinguish in the background but if you play with the black pieces in
the foreground, the problem of shading is much improved. 4) There are
no menu titles when you hover your mouse over an icon menu button. It is
impossible to get all the information windows at the same time as the 3D
board and next to impossible even with the 2D board. 5) The comment
window does not allow plain words, only. game notation. 6) There is no
online help and there wasn't any manual supplied with the demo. 7) If
the comment and the move windows are brought up, it is impossible to
close them during the game, even though you can minimize them. 8) There
is no opening book editor 9) There is no database capability. So on my
rating scale it gets a 9 for playing strength, 0 for opening editor, 0
for dB capability, 4 bonus points for its 3D board, and 2 minus points
for its screen faults. I will throw in 5 bonus points for its price for
an overall rating of 16 out of 30 which falls short of the top programs
but still higher than CM 4000, and Hiarcs 4. For the low price, the
program will be worth it if they can fix the bug regarding response
times. Until then, stay away from this program.
"Bookup 1.5.2 is the latest Windows release of the world's best
stand alone opening editor. After 10 years of trying, Mike Leahy has
finally got it right. 1) The big improvement is the addition of a
playing program as a chess engine. Zarkov 4.0 has been added into Bookup
so that you don't have to exit the program to be able to analyze a
position. One click on a Zarkov icon and you can have the chess engine
give you the strongest line it advocates for the rest of the positions
until you shut it down. This is a tremendous help and duplicates the
analysis process that Genius and M-Chess use in their opening books and
that will be incorporated in the new release of Rebel 8 coming out in
late September. 2) Another new feature is that the user can click on a
Database safety option so that the program will automatically write to
disk any time that a change is made to the book. This will prevent data
loss in case of power or hardware failure. 3) Bookup now has an
Integrity utility that repairs damaged books and that can also create a
text file containing all of the comments from a book-on-disk. 4) Bookup
has put out 16 special books on disk that you can install while being in
the program itself. 12 of these are opening books, and each one can be
edited by the user. A new one is being created every month so at that
pace all of ECO should be covered in about 9 years time. When you
realize that these are repertoire books and do not cover all of the
lines, it becomes clear as to why it will take so long to cover all of
theory. However, are the ECO Informant people any quicker? If you don't
want to wait, make your own repertoire books within Bookup with the
help of Zarkov. It should be mentioned that 7 of the 12 opening books
are heavily evaluated with comments at every major branch. 5) You can
now save a diagram as a bitmap file. 6) When you are importing analysis
from an EPD file, you can choose whether to replace existing numeric
assessments as well as whether the first existing present value line
from a previous import should be replaced or not. This allows you to
have the numeric assessments updated and add the new principle variation
to the comments while preserving the existing principle variations. 7)
Analysis imported from an EPD file can now be tagged so that you can
identify the source of the analysis and the time control used in the
analysis. This can also identify other programs besides Zarkov that
generated the EPD files. 8) A new feature was added to the Edit menu
which allows "grabbing" the engine's analysis and pasting it into the
comment and the numeric assessment. 9) You can input moves by the
keyboard by first clicking on a move entry window. You have to click on
the window only once and you can save time by entering short algebraic.
The above new features are a welcome addition to Bookup's unique
features of A )automatic saving to book B) importing a PGN file while
pruning off only an x number of opening moves C) Comment window within
the opening book itself. The automatic saving feature is a true delight
and cuts the opening editing time nearly in half. The pruning feature
lets you instantly create an opening book from a dB of games that are
either in PGN or EPD format. The comment feature lets an author create
an opening book with comments possible at every move. Another nice touch
is the size of the move candidate window. It is very large and it is
easy to click on any candidate move to change the board position. The
chess board is as good looking as the one that Chessbase uses which is
the industry leader in appearance.These five features along with all the
new features above have now placed Bookup at the top of it's class as
the chess world's best opening book editor. The Mac version is
essentially the same but with a few less features.
However, there are drawbacks in the best of programs,
and Bookup is no exception. The no. 1 drawback is one I have stated
before. Bookup's book files are too large. Sure, it catches every
transposition but the opening book editor of Chess Genius does also and
in files that are only 5% of the size of Bookup's. 2) There is no auto
loading of the correct book by the program. Genius has this unique
feature. 3) Even though you can load 2 or more books at the same time,
it is impossible to tile or cascade 2 complete different board diagrams
so that all 64 squares show up for both boards. This is because there is
only one board size. 4) The show figurines didn't work. You have to
import figurines from other programs , purchase them separately from
3rd party vendors or download the chess font from the Chessbase demo.
5) The default settings for pawn equivalents for evaluation symbols for
the Zarkov engine are way too high. However the user can change these.
6) If you make an illegal move, while Zarkov is running, a range check
error occurs and the program stalls. After 10 tries of pressing on OK, I
was finally able to prevent the program from crashing and was able to
take back the illegal move. This is a bug, because if the program had
crashed, the book could have become corrupted. 7) Under promotions have
to be set separately within the preferences menu. 8) The authors of the
Bookup opening books do not understand the true meaning of the chess
evaluation symbols unclear and equal. They choose to lump in dynamically
equal winning chance positions in with all the equal positions which is
misleading. 9) It is impossible to get the whole board , and the
complete Zarkov window including the ply depth info on the screen at
the same time.
The above 9 drawbacks do not seriously detract from the
main worth of the program however, and thus Bookup gets my hearty
recommendation. The price is $199.00 U.S. and comes with a 9 month
money back guarantee of satisfaction. Now, if only Bookup could
translate my Genius book files to it's own format!

21) BOOKS, BOOKS and more of then (10) Bertrand Weegenaar
-------------------------------------------------------
Books come in steadily from English and American sources, I conclude in this
10th and little jubilea edition of Books. I have discussed more then 125 books
and booklets from larger to personal publishers within a little of a year. The
last months the books coming from Germany (by Madler, Olms (Swiss), Dreier
Verlag, Rochade Verlag) has almost stopped. Probably these publisher doesn't
have the idea that putting their books on Internet this way help their profit.
Maybe their is a German Internet or Compuserve side who takes care. It's a lot
of work and I hope to continue this way for some time.
Karpov - Kamsky is ending and the matchbooks will be in the stores after the
holiday. There was great chess. Now the chessworld will look at the struggle
between Kasparov and the FIDE-president, and after that the next Kasparov -
Karpov match which will be played sometime (??) somewhere (??).
In the world of correspondence chess new development are in progress. Author and
CC-player Tim Harding, of which I introduce a new exciting title in this issue,
has come up with an idea which I hope will be supported strongly also by the
millions (??, lots of things are unknown in cyberspace so lets use our
imagination) who read this. He will start a new Webside for CC-news, games
analyses etc. CC is more then postcard chess. It's also E-mail, fax and Internet
chess. Besides that he intents to create a English-plus version of the German
CC-magazin Fernschach, which is the official ICCF-magazin. If players,
publishers, autors etc. want to support Tim please let him know: his E-mail
address: tharding@homenet.ie
I advise you to read Harding homepage which can be found in Mark's favourite
links.
A lot of favourites, I have to admit. The books from Batsford are of an extremely
high level (one of the mainreasons this Books is rather late ). The variety of
the subjects is also very good.

Price: British Pounds 14.99
To me as practising CC-player this will be a good choice for the Book of the
Year-award. Harding gives a wide introduction to the game of CC with dozens of
high level games. He explanes the rules, the great plusses of CC to OTB (ie.
the time you have to prepare/analyse the moves which leads to a higher level of
play and understanding of the game, the use of book material to study and in these
new times the use of opening and endgame databases and playing programs to
support the analysis.).
A large chapter is dedicated to the Kings and Queens of CC, the World Champions.
(If you have the possibility to buy it: Tim's book on the first X CC-WM is super
with almost all the games, lots of them analysed in Informator-style notation. I
hope he will have time for a new edition I-XIII).
Harding also looks to the future of CC. Mostly nowadays it is played by
postcard, but new forms are experimented by in the I.C.C.F. (the International
Correspondence Chess Federation), like fax and E-mail-tournaments. Moves between
players may be transported now by post, telex, fax and E-mail. (The experiences
from players in these tournaments show that the type of game alters with the speed
of transportation.)
The books ends with a chapter on the future of CC which tries an answer to the
question Will Computers kill CC? A century ago, when the first cars entered the
then sandy roads, everybody expected men to stop walking for long ways. There
was no need it for that it seemed. Cars got there own place in everyday life.

Price: $
From Caissa I received this book as an exchange, my best so far. This 1994, 537
page interesting volume by the hand of Warren Goldman is a grand tribute to the
art of chess and it's history. Unfortunately the author died when the manuscript
was in the last stage of becoming a book. In the speedy time of the nineties with
large databases, e-mail and Internet, chesscomputers, Grandmasters travelling the
world to attend Category XVI and XVII-tournaments we are likely to forget what the
chessworld looked in it's early days, say a century ago. Then it was evolving
from an amateur game in chess cafes and clubs to a game where professional
players attended internationally organised competition.
Carl Schlechter (1874 - 1918) started his carreer in the cafe-period giving his
career a boost at the age of 20 by winning Leipzig 1894 and Hastings 1895
(the minor section) .
From that time Schlechter was a professional chessplayer who was for more the 20
years one of the strongest in the scene, where also players like Lasker, Burn,
Marshall, Tartakower, Tschigorin etc. attended.
He won dozens of tournaments and very often ended second. Schlechters style was
very aggressive, which is shown in 244 analysed games, often from authentic
sources. Every tournament and match is discribed with details about the
circumstances, the opponents etc.
Schlechter came close to become World Champion in 1910 when he challenged Lasker
for a 10-game match. The match is covered by the author with more then 60
thrilling pages. In the 5th game Schlechter took the lead and was able to defend
this lead the next 4 game. The 10th was a tragic clash where Schlechter attacked
and attacked and lost after 71 moves. He also lost the match because Lasker
remained worldchampion. In this part of the book the author showes his writing
skills and historical knowledge.
It's almost psychological suspense to look at the question WHY?
This is a book you can't afford to miss if you have interest in the history of
Caissa game.

Players who are building a style of there own are enormously helped by guides
(mostly books by trainers) who give them a repertoire that suites their tast.
Often this comes down to several lines which leads to certain types of
positions. Some players are happy in strategic, open types of games, other like
to move around in positional often more closed types. For them the fun lies more
is to come later in middle and endgame, and it seems to me they like to skip the
opening all together. I'm fond of open games, with action from move one, putting
the knife on the enemy's throught at once. A little more uncompromised players
will find a great help in Eduard Gufeld's guide, because his choosen repertoire
gives almost all open aggressive lines I would like on my repertoire: with White
1.e4 and then 2.f4 against the Sicilian, the Vienna with 3.f4, closed French and
pawnpush against the caroKann. With Black the Dragon against 1.e4 and yes, the
Dutch against 1.d4. (Leningrader against the mainline.) In 20 chapters and 14
analysed games the readers is literairly stuffed with aggressive, attacking
positions.
If you are a clubplayer who finds attacking more fun then moving around behind
his pawnfortress, this is the book.
Against this type of books, there has to be a little warning especially for the
CC-player. Your opponent may have more detailed books. There is often seldom a
problem with this in more closed-positions, but a recent novelty in a sharp
attacking position can destroy the balance. From openingbooks I have discussed
here are some examples compared with the theory in this book:
on the French: after 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Nf3 Bd7 6.Be2 f6 7.0-0
Gufeld gives the lesser 7...fe5?! to cxd4!? from Watson.
on the CaroKann: on page 46 14...Nb4!? 15.ef7 Ne7 16.a3 Nc2 by Gufeld. Beljavski
gives 16...g5! with better play.
on the Aljechin: on page 64 Gufeld gives 15...Bh4, which is ?! according to
Burgess in New ideas in the Alekhine Defence who gives f6 which leads to better
play for Black.
None of the above leads to lost play when you follow Gufeld, but be aware in
following theory.
Chess in the fast lane, Bill & Michael Adams, Cadogan Chess, 1996, 192 p. (ISBN
1-85744-132-X)
Price: $19.95
50 Analysed games from 1989 till 1993 come to us, analysed by Michael Adams,
introduced by his father Bill. It is a sequel to the book which gives the start
of his young successfull carreer, until he reached the grandmaster title at the
age of 15. In this four years he travelled around the world, played in strong
GM-torunaments like Biel, Munich and Seville in 1993, and finally scoring a
place in the WM-candidates. Adams style attacking, often uncompromised which
gives great chess. I have enjoyed both the style of the story about the young
boy conquering the chessworld (he wins a lot of first prices), and the sometimes
pitoresque analyses Michael gives.
I hope we haven't have to wait another 2,5 years for the next volume because
Michael won a lot the past years.
Positional Play, Mark Dvorestky & Artur Yusupov, Batsford 1996, 288 p. (ISBN 0-
7134-7879-9)
Price: British Pounds 17.99
This volume is the fourth in a series with yet famous titles as Training for the
Tournament player, Opening Preparation and Technique for the Tournament Player.
The lectures which the authors and their respected students present are of a
extreme high technical level. Items are p.e. Manoevring, Prophylactic thinking,
Opposite-coloured bishops in the middlegame. Two of the 14 chapters which
interested me most where Grandmaster Strategy by Bareev where he deeply analysed
his victories in the Linares 1992 over Salov, Kasparov and Karpov; Modern
Treatments of the Dutch Defence by Khenkin and Kramnik discuss the fundamentals
of the Stonewall Defence where Black has excellent positional play.
A great way to spend money and your time with this book. There is no cheaper way
to get this high-level knowledge about chess.
Endgame Magic, John Beasley & Timothy Whitworth, Batsford 1996, 192 p. (ISBN 0-
7134-7971-X)
Price: British Pounds 9.99
This intreguing book takes you into the world of endgame study/composing. I
think it can be compared to what film is to the real world: every thing is
possible within a set of rules. The endgame composer has the normal rules of
chess, and from that he can create what he likes with a little material as
possible.
The book gives a step by step introduction to the study-themes and to the great
names in composition. Every aspect of the endgame can be put into a composition
when they are rarely seen in practical play. In 12 chapters the different aspect
like Underpromotion, Perpetual harassent and Fortress and blockade are
discussed. Other chapters have combined themes like Cut and Thrust (good moves
for Black), Frolies and fantasies with fantastic positions.
An example of a great exciting position is from the chapter The grand manner,
page 172 (Yes take your chessboard):
White: Kh2, Rc3 + h3
Black: Ka5 pawns b2 + h2
1.Ra3 Kb4 2.Rab3+ Kc4 3.Rhc3+ Kd4 4.Rd3+ Kc4 5.Rbc3 Kb4 6.Rc7! b1Q 7.Rd8!! d1Q
8.Rb8+ Ka3 9.Ra7+ Qa4 10.Rax4+ Kxa4 11.Rxb1 wins. Studie by L.Olmutsky 1963.
Great enjoyment, and this is so page after page.
To me a new side to chess opens.
On the authors: J.Beasley is columnist, participated in World Solving
Championships 1977 & 1978. T. Whitworth has written works on the study of Kubbel
,the Platov brothers and others.
