(I hope this is everyone as this issue has been a logistics nightmare
with so much chess going on in the Summer.)

A Massive issue. I don't have time even to tot up how many games there
are in this issue. Lots of tournaments, lots of news I need a rest!

The University of Bradford E-Mail system will not be working next weekend.
Not sure about the www. If you need to send a message on Saturday or Sunday
try my alternate E-Mail address.

Hope you enjoy this issue

2) Lord Novgorod the Great Tournament
----------------------------------

The second category 19 tournament of the year. After
starting well Ivanchuk looks well on the way to
totally imploding after a careless loss against Judit
Polgar. This win gave Judit second wind and she moved
up the leader table. Gelfand also is starting to struggle.

Meanwhile at the top Veselin Topalov is starting to pick
up the lost rating points from last week. I have greatly
enjoyed the chess from this event.

3) International Chess Tournament in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland
-----------------------------------------------------------

A massive chess Festival is taking place in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland.
(by the way I hope Biel is correct, I've always thought so, Bienne
is correct I know, I have to say I'm a little confused.)

I will round up many of the events next week. There is daily coverage
of the results from the events at:

http://www.bielnews.ch/demo/schach.html

but my site is attempting to systematically get the games
so also check that out.

There are two major tournaments taking place, the SKA tournament which
has FIDE World Champion Anatoly Karpov as its star and is a category
16 event. The early rounds have seen the best showing from Lajos
Portisch since the Moscow Olympiad.

I must express my gratitude to Ian Rogers for the games from rounds
one and two and to Luc Enderli for his hard work in obtaining the
games from the later rounds by fax. (a slight technical hitch meant
that the fax for round 4 was not complete so the games will come later)

I will update my www page as and when possible.

4)  Interplay United States Chess Championships
-----------------------------------------------

Alex Yermolinsky won the 1996 US Chess Championships by a point
from Boris Gulko and Grigory Kaidanov. Last week's leader Tal
Shaked had a very tough run in to the Championships playing
most of the stronger players in the last few rounds. He did at
least perform above his rating, but this was a bad week for him.

Anjelina Belakovskaia won the women's event, again by a point from
her nearest rival Anna Gulko (Akhsharumova).

6) FIDE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS YEREVAN ARMENIA
-------------------------------------------

More details on my homepage and next week. I hope to
have the projected policies of the Kouatly ticket
by then. (see my homepage for the platform of Jaime Sunye Neto.

Elections a two horse race?

The deadline for the announcement of tickets for the FIDE elections in Yerevan
Armenia (in September during the Olympiad) passed on July 23rd.

There were two tickets:

Presidential Ticket of Jaime Sunye Neto

   *  Jaime Sunye Neto (Brasil) President
   *  Einar S. Einarsson (Iceland) Deputy President
   *  Noureddine Tabbane (Tunisia) Deputy President
   *  Ego Ditt (Germany) Vice-President
   *  Steven Doyle (U.S.A.) Vice-President
   *  Andrei Makarov (Russia) Vice-President
   *  Emmanuel Omuku (Nigeria) General Secretary
   *  Guenther Loewenthal (Netherlands) Treasurer

Presidential Ticket of Barchar Kouatly

   * Bachar Kouatly (France) President
   * Anatoly Karpov (Russia) Deputy President
   * Roman Toran (Spain) Deputy President
   * Pedro Barrera (El Salvador) Vice President
   * David Hamoonga (Zambia( Vice President
   * Sun Lianzhi (China) Vice President
   * Morten Sand (Norway) General Secretary
   * Mohamed Mourad Succar (Lebanon) Treasurer

Does this mean that Kirsan Ilyumzhinov will not be standing for the Presidency?
Not necessarily.

In a recent communique from 15th of July to all Chess Federations (which was
not published on the FIDE Web Page) Iljumzhinov wrote:

3. "The Executive Council, held in Elista last month, recommended that the
Yerevan Elections for the Presidential Ticket shall comprise the existing eight
offices. Unfortunately, some members of the Executive Council acted beehind my
back and decided to form a separate ticket. If I am to offer my ticket, then 16
federations shall be locked in further intrigue and be hostile to one another.
The situation has plagued FIDE in recent years. In Paris, I agreed to become
FIDE President because I love chess and wanted to save FIDE of its financial
crisis. I am not interested and shall not take part in the intrigue among FIDE
officials. In order to help restore unity in FIDE, I decided not to present my
ticket for the coming elections.

4. The last two Congresses of Moscow 1994 and Paris 1995 established the fact
that the General Assembly is the highest governing body of FIDE. These
Congresses discussed and confirmed that the 1998 FIDE Elections shall be only
for the offices of President and Deputy President. This decision was wise and I
propose that the Yerevan Elections be held for only the offices of President
and Deputy President."

With the one hand (3) he says he is not presenting a ticket, and with the other
hand (4) he's saying elections with tickets are a stupid idea.

It seems that although the meeting in the Netherlands earlier this year came to
an agreement that there would be tickets there is a very strong possibility
that there may be a battle to see what kind of election takes place.

As one person commented "There is horrible tradition for changing the FIDE
statutes at the General Assembly without having the proposed changes on the
agenda." (Is it Larry Parr who goes on about FIDE traditions!)

However it is possible that if it is inevitable that Kirsan will lose that this
will not happen.

An interesting question is who will chair the General Assembly? I fear the
answer will be Florencio Campomanes.

I have been receiving a steady amount of information on the platform of Sunye
Neto and more information will be added to the above file along with hopefully
some indication about what Kouatly stands for in the next couple of days.

The internet was probably in part responsable for the overthrow of Campomanes.
It seems at least one side in the election will be campaigning there in order
perhaps to put pressure on the delegates to make clear their position.

Lukacs,P-Zifroni,D (8) was given as a draw in the crosstable but as a

Zifroni and certainly no place to agree a draw.

14) Corrections
-----------

Jason Luchan saw that in TWIC 92.  In the game Meyer-Nielsen from
Gistrup (8), the 4th move looks like it should be Bd3, not Bd2 (which
would be a normal beginning for an Exchange French).

The names of the players in the game between Djurhuus and Gausel of
round 9 of Politiken Cup were interchanged in the bulletin (and on
the net site). This has been changed in my version on the web site
now. Djurhuus was White and Gausel was Black. (Rune himself reports)

Rune also reports the Norwegian Olympic team:

1. GM Simen Agdestein, 2600
2. GM Jonathan Tisdall, 2515
3. GM Einar Gausel, 2520
4. GM Rune Djurhuus, 2505
5. FM Espen Agdestein, 2375
6. FM Sverre Heim, 2405

Women's:

1. Nina Hagesaether, 2090
2. WFM Sheila B. Berntsen, 2115
3. WIM Ingrid Dahl, 2120
4. Ellen Hagesaether, 2045

15) Universities World Championship Leon Spain by Juergen Daniel
----------------------------------------------------------------

53 players from 13 countries competed in the 4th edition of the Chess University
Worldchampionship in Leon/Spain. Next to the individual titles there was a
team-classification. (A team consisting of two men and one women). This title
was finally won by Georgia, who had male bronce-medal winner Sichinava and
second placed Nino Khurtsidze in their rows. Half a point behind finshed Spain,
whose players GM Segundo and FM Cacho dominated the male competition for the
whole event. Finally Cacho was first on tie-break, top seed San Segundo second
(both 7/9). Third was, as already mentioned Roman Sichinava from Geotgia.
While San Segundo was the only male GM playing, the ladies section saw six Women
Grandmaster fighting for the title. Winner was the Chinese Wang Lei with the
very good result of 7,5/9 followed by the well known Nino Khurtsidze/Georgia and
Ilana Kadimova/Azerbaiyan.
The general opinion was, that Leon hosted the best ever organised University
Worldchampionship.

Team-classification:
1. Georgia	19 points
2. Spain	18,5 points
3. Azerbaiyan	18 points
4. Germany	15 points
5. Switzerland	14 points
6. Yugoslavia	13 points
7. Peru		11 points
