I hope I haven't left anyone out, I apologies if I did. A large issue, hopefully there aren't too many ragged edges. Hope you enjoy Mark 2) Dortmund International Tournament --------------------------------- 20 year old Vladimir Kramnik scored an impressive victory in the Dortmund International Tournament. He was pressed hard all the way by Anatoly Karpov who finished half a point behind. Peter Leko made a very solid impression losing only in the final round. Ivanchuk played a very lacklustre tournament, he never really got going after his round 1 loss. My thanks to Otto Borik of Schach Magazin 64 for the games.

With the same score but less Sonneborn-Berger was the promising Netherlands player Loek Van Wely, who was the leader for almost the entire tournament, but lost ground in round 10 when he was defeated by IGM Pablo Zarnicki. In third place was Argentine IM Hugo Spangenberg, who had a very good second half of the tournament obtaining his first IGM norm, drawing with American IGM Nick De Firmian. By the way, Argentine IM Pablo Ricardi lost (for second time) the potential to obtain a GM norm : he was beaten by IM Jorge Szmetan. This tournament was played in the "Centro Cultural Buenos Aires", in Buenos Aires City, from July 8 to 18. According to "Don" Miguel Najdorf, the best games were Zarnicki- Van Wely and Van Wely-San Segundo, both with pretty combinations. Buenos Aires (ARG), VII 1995. cat.

(Nederlandse Bond voor Correspondentieschakers) by Bertrand Weegenaar, editor Schaakschakeringen and H. van Houten, sysop PreChess BBS Chess Bulletin Services There was a strong correspondence chess scene in the Netherland even before the founding of the NBC in 1966. One historical study suggested that the first correspondence chess in the Netherlands dates back to the 17th Centuary, however the first known game is from 1804. The Modern era started after the 2nd World War. This was when several strong players, such as, Dick Smit, Henk Mostert, Mulder van Leens Dijkstra started playing in the WorldChampionship qualifying tournaments. Unfortunately none of these players qualified for the final event but they had other achievements. At the start, just after the war, correspondence chess was administered as part of the normal Netherlands Chess Federation, the K.N.S.B. Already several very strong OTB players recognised the possibilities of testing new ideas using correspondence chess. Max Euwe played a number of games testing new lines against Napolitano and Hans Bouwmeester included correspondence chess as part of his teaching methods. Not least Th.van Scheltinga was the first participant from the Netherlands in a World Championship tournament. There were however also very strong pure correspondence chessplayers starting at that time, Cor Mulder van Leens Dijkstra (the first Dutch GM) Ger van Perlo, and Hoelscher, to mention a few. By 1966 a situation had arisen in which the strong correspondence chessplayers weren't happy with the little attention their sport and their sportmen's needs got from the OTB-organisation (K.N.S.B.). The N.B.C. was born in Arnhem initiated by B.Perfors (President), D.Smit (Secretary), H.Mostert (still tournament director), also president of the ICCF, H.Sarink and J.Zaagman (tournament organisor). Strong ties with the ICCF were present from the very start. The magazine Schaakschakeringen was founded in 1966 to provide the players in the different N.B.C.-tournaments with information on the results in their groups. Furthermore it gave them the possibility to publish games and analysis. The first N.B.C. Dutch Championships were held the following year, and were won by H.Bouwmeester (above H.Holscher and K.Mulder van Leens Dijkstra). This year will see the start of the 25th edition. This event has provided the early experience for a lot of international players. Now 11 Dutch players have the ICCF grandmaster title: K.Mulder van Leens Dijkstra (+), Pieter Seewald (+), (Pieter was the last Dutch player to receive the GM-title. Unfortunately he died two months ago.) H.Bouwmeester, P.Boll, D.van Geet, A.den Ouden, G.van Perlo, H.Sarink, D.Smit, G.Timmerman, Tj.Wiersma and J.van Oosterom. Furthermore there are 21 ICCF-masters and several ICCF International tournament leaders. Beside these individual successes, there were also Dutch team successes to celebrate. One of the reasons was the ability of people like Mulder van Leens Dijkstra to create a teamspirit, even in something as individual as correspondence chess. Its result: bronze medals in the I and III European Team Tournament, and several participations in Olympiad-finals. The city of Den Bosch has won the 2nd International City Tournament. At this moment a Dutch Men's team plays in the XI Olympiad Final and a women's team takes part in the Ladies IV Final. Also, in organising strong tournaments, the N.B.C. has tried to set standards. From 1969-1972 the first NBC Mastertournament was held. This was won by A.den Ouden (NL) above S.Brilla Banfalvi (H) and C.Groeneveld (NL). From 1976-1980, the Perfors Memorial was organised as a tribute to B.Perfors who was a stimulating force in the Dutch correspondence world. It was won by K.Richardson (GB), above second placed D.Smit (NL) and P.Clarke (GB). To Celebrate the 15th anniversary of the N.B.C., two tournaments were held: the Volmac Grandmasters and Masters tournaments. The Grandmasters group was won by H.Rittner (DDR), above Tj.Wiersma (NL), G.Timmerman (NL) and H.Bouwmeester (NL). The Master group was won by D.van Geet (NL) above D.Orseth (N). In 1991 the NBC 25-Jubilea started with 21 players including several top 20 CC Grandmasters. It was finished in 1994. 1. GM G.Timmerman(NL) 17,5/21 2. GM J.van Oosterom (NL) 16, 3. A.Soltau (GER) 14,5 4. O.Ekebjaerg (DK) 14 5. T.Wibe (NOR) 13,5 It looks as if our own tournaments gave a lot of players stimulace to try their best!! The future for correspondence chess in the Netherlands is maybe as good or bad as in all other countries. These are expensive times, uncertain political situations makes it impossible for many people to play chess at their best, the strength of chesscomputers of which a lot of people think it will threaten at least the fun in correspondence chess (I myself am a strong opponent against this opinion.) But on the other hand we have a lot of strong, even very young players who already play for the highest titles in individual and team tournaments. And these players are supported by a lot of older, very experienced players. So beware when your opponent is from the Netherlands: we know how to play chess, even correspondence chess. In which a small country can be big. To give you some examples, I have choosen recent games. (It was also tempting to show you very good games from the past, maybe some other time.) Gert Jan Timmerman ------------------- Gert Jan Timmerman is probably the most successful correspondence chessplayer at the moment. Every tournament in which he recently participates has ended in a win. He was twice Dutch Champion in K/10 (1982) with 11.5/14 and in K/12 (1984) also with 11.5/14. He won the 7th Dutch open in 1985. He has played in several grandmaster tournaments such as the NBC/15 Volmac Jubilea (in second place with 10/14 after H.Rittner), first in the NBC/25-Jubilea above J.van Oosterom (NL), second in the Bdf 40/jubilea after H.Bouwmeester (NL). He also won the ICCF-Cup V Final (1993). In the FinJub 30-tournament his score of 12,5 out of 14 secured a first place. Quoted the game: O.Ekebjaerg (DEN) - G.Timmerman (Netherlands) Frankenstein-Dracula C27 Ger van Perlo ------------- Ger van Perlo is one of the 12 GM's in the Netherlands and also he has had the title for one of the longest periods of time. He has participated in many tournaments including 1/2- and 3/4 Finals of WM. He now is playing in the Olympiad XI-Final and several GM-invitational tournaments. He is a player who will take enormous risks, which often gives him very pretty wins (and sometimes a loss or two of course!). He is author of the Endgame column in Schaakschakeringen to which he provides material from a manuscript on practical endgames. Quoted game: Sowray, Peter ENG- Van Perlo, Ger NED KINGS GAMBIT Peter Boll ---------- Peter Boll is one of the youngest GM's. He reached this title with his win in the Italian invitation tournament the Silli Memorial which he won. He started recently in the XIV-WM final. The first Dutch player to qualify for many years. He was second in the 8th Dutch Championships (after H.Temmink) with 10.5/14. He also reached a Dutch Open-final (1976-1985) in which he was second after GM G.Timmerman. In the following game he scored the point he needed to become ICCF-grandmaster. Quoted game: A.Zanetti (Italy) - P.Boll (Netherlands) Silli Memorial 1990-1993 Queensgambit Noteboom/Abrahams Jeroen Noomen --------------- Jeroen Noomen was the winner of the Dutch Open which started in 1987 and was finished this year. he won the final with a score of 6/6. The following game shows his well thought out style. In the opening his opponent is surprised by a novelty. After this the game is already lost, White only has to prove it: Quoted game J. Noomen (NED) - R.Ritsema (NED) Dutch Open Final 1987 French Defence. Joop van Oosterom ------------------ Joop van Oosterom is the great maecenas behind a lot of NBC-activities. He was a very strong OTB-player in his student years. After a succesful business career (co-founder of Volmac (Vo for Van Oosterom)) he has devoted a lot of time to chess. He is also known as sponsor of the Volmac-team (Rotterdam) and the Melody Amber-tournament. (Melody Amber is the name of his daughter.) Joop van Oosterom was Dutch champion in K/10 (1980). He has won a 3/4-Final for the World Championship which entitled him the right to participate in the WM-Final. Unfortunately he couldn't take part in the XIV-Final. Great successes recently (besides qualifing for the WM-Final) were a second place in the NBC/25-Jubilea tournament and membership of the bronze-winning team in the III-European teamtournament. The next game is from that tournament. Quoted game: J.J.v.Oosterom (NED) - A.Lanc (CZE) Gruenfeld Defence. Evert Poel ---------- Evert Poel is the most recent winner of the Dutch Championships (K/23, 1995). Most points in this tournament where hard fought, of which next game against no 2, Arend Hotting with an equal score, is a good example. Quoted game: A. Hotting - E. Poel Sicilian, Najdorf B99 Games appear in the game section. ----------- END ARTICLE ----------- 6) Swiss Championship (Villars sur Ollon): by Fabian Maeser ================== IM Yannick Pelletier (19) became the youngest Swiss champion ever. He finished second behind English GM Joe Gallagher who lives in Switzerland and who will probably soon be playing for Switzerland, too. The new women's champion is WGM Tatjana Lemachko (Ex-Bulgarian - has been living in Switzerland for many years now). The open tournament was won by Russian GM Miron Sher. 7) Irish National Championships by Kieran English ---------------------------------------------- The 1995 Irish championship sponsored by Morris Insulations was won by Brian Kelly last weekend at the Teachers' Club in Dublin. With a score of 7/9, the young Belfaster finished a clear point ahead of his nearest rivals and becomes, at sixteen years and eight months, the youngest Irish champion by two months ahead of John Moles who won in 1965. Kelly conceded only one loss - to Gerry O'Connell - and two draws - to Antony Fox and Kieran Moynihan - and scored victories over former Irish champion Stephen Brady as well as internationals Conor O'Shaughnessy and Joe Ryan. After a poor start (2.5/5) top seed Colm Daly failed to recover sufficient ground to challenge the champion and had to be content with a share of second place.

All events were successful, the tournament ran smoothly and without major problems or incidents. The Chess Federation of Canada had their bookstore at the site selling their usual sundry of chess books, equipment etc. The idea of 1995 Canadian Open was to do little special events and activities to add special features, the little touches that mean everything. GRANDMASTER PARTICIPATION: Although in Toronto we lack the kind of support one can get in some other communities we found a way to attract three grandmasters. The presence of Kevin Spraggett, Eduardas Rozentalis and David Norwood added spice and stature to the tournament. PRIZES were actually higher than projected and ended up at $17,800. ATTENDANCE: Overall participation of 303 participants is a record for at least 10 years for the Canadian Open. Many fine players were at hand the most interesting being: IM's Deen Hergott, Bryon Nickoloff, Lawrence Day, Zdenko Krnic and Zvonko Vranesic. We should also mention Ron Livshits, Grant Spraggett, Ian Findlay, Ray Stone, Hans Jung, Gordon Taylor, Laszlo Bekefi, Goran Milicevic, Eduardo Teodoro IV, etc, etc. GRANDMASTER LECTURE: Kevin Spraggett held a lecture on pre-game preparation in modern tournament practice. Thirty people attended and were generally delighted with both the lecture and the question and answer period on a variety of subjects that followed the actual lecture. THE BULLETIN: as you know was published including as many games as possible. People contributing their time for the bulletin were Smilja Vujosevic, Noel Daez, Sam Sharpe and Vojin Vujosevic. We felt a major event needs a daily bulletin. SPEED TOURNAMENT: A 74 player Speed Championship was run by TD Ignac Vucko. Josip Mihaljevic of Toronto won with 15 points out of 20 games ahead of Montreal's Thanh Nha Duong with 14.5, Goran Milicevic of Toronto and Lars Veno Jakobsen of Denmark 14 points, Todd Southam of London, Ontario and Roderick Teodoro with 13.5 etc. The winner's share was $140, total prize fund $1,000. SPECIAL CHESS BOARDS: were designed and printed through efforts of Alex Knox of Toronto. They were made of stronger special material to last. The logos of CFC, OCA, and GTCL as well as the name of the tournament were printed on the edges. Players were allowed to take them as souvenirs after the last round. SCORESHEET BOOKLETS: were printed through the efforts of Alex Knox. They were distributed to all the participants. GRANDMASTER LECTURE: Eduardas Rozentalis gave a simultaneous which was unfortunately not well attended. CANADIAN OPEN T-SHIRT: Designed and produced through the efforts of Maurice Smith sold out completely all 96 of them. ORGANIZERS & TD'S: Many compliments were received on behalf of Alex Knox, Maurice Smith, Ignac Vucko, Vojin Vujosevic, Frank Thiele, John Puusa, Noel Daez & Sam Sharpe. Our thanks go to the Downtown Toronto Best Western Primrose Hotel and its manager Mr. Michel Meijer for their continual support of chess in Toronto. In addition to the Primrose Hotel other sponsors were: Greater Toronto Chess League, Ontario Chess Association, Finnair and a bunch of volunteers and contributors to numerous to mention. The "chess circus" moves on to Montreal for the next week's Quebec Open and then to North Bay, Ontario on Lake Nipissing for the North Bay International boasting: GM's Yermolinski, Shabalov, Spraggett, Rozentalis, Kaidanov, Zsuzsa Polgar and an array of IM's and Canadian masters ... vojin.vujosevic@canrem.com 10) A.S.K.

He comments: Closer examination reveals that the Scottish was in fact a 14-player 9-round Swiss. This explains some of the pairings, e.g. in the last Round McNab's victory against Burnett meant that he finished tied for first place and Burnett tied for last! I'd like to know what John Shaw's performance rating was, because I'm pretty sure he made an IM norm (in stark contrast to his efforts at last year's Champ in Edinburgh). Some further thoughts about the Scottish. All players were ...Scottish. Dave Kilgour was down as being of unknown or no country, but he's from the Borders region. His SCA rating is about 2350, but the SCA grader Dougie Bryson thinks that this is not a fully valid rating because he wins most of his games, against 1800s and rarely plays against 2200+s. He doesn't seem to have been in contention for Olympiad team places, for example. Presumably your tables ignore results against unrated players, in that the performance rating for a rated player only involves games against other rated players. McNab played weaker opposition than Shaw, but had a higher rating performance, which I attribute to his draw against Kilgour being unrated ... along with Shaw and Mannion's wins. In that case, Shaw scored a 2451 result against 8 rateds, plus a win against an unrated, which must act in his favour. Quite likely an IM norm, then. 12) Copenhagen Open Tournament games from Under Uret /Flemming Jensen ------------------------------------------------------------------- Just to confirm that the table was complete and correct and that the Copenhagen Open finished after 10 rounds. Bosko Grove has provided a small correction to one of the games. Glek - Borge (10) it is 29. f3 not 29. a3 13) World Open ---------- This was reported in TWIC 40, won by Yermolinsky and played July 1st-4th. A selection of World Open games has been provided by Eduardo Bauza Mercere. 14) Dutch News in brief -------------------- Netherlands Women's Championships --------------------------------- Final Standings: 1 Kouwenhoven (Master norm) 7.5 2 De Kleuver 7 3 Jap T.San (Master norm) 6 4 Jansen 5 5 Sziva 4.5 6 Wuts 4 7-8 Slingerland,Benschop 3.5 9 De Mie 2.5 10 Bos 1.5 A full table should follow next week if I get time. Open Dutch junior championships ------------------------------- In the second week of August the Open Dutch junior championships will take place.

Participants: Timman, Piket, Van Wely, Salov, Polgar,J, Shirov, Seirawan, Nunn, Morozevich, Khalifman, Huzman and Granda Zuniga.

Last year Anjo Anjewierden played and picked up the games. It seems the tournament organisers are willing to hand over the games for publication on the Internet so if someone is attending could they take a floppy disk and port the games? 15) Bad Endbach by Norbert Friedrich -------------------------------- A while ago I told you about a tournament to be held in Bad Endbach.
