1) Introduction
---------------
My thanks to Graham Burgess, Christophe Bouton, Lars Zwisler (and
the very organised team in Denmark), Bjarke Kristensen, Sinisa
Joksic, Christoph Pfrommer, Adolivio Capece, Adam Raoof, Piotr
Nestorow, Roberto Alvarez, Gerald Schendel, John Henderson, Tom
Furstenberg, Graziano Ottolini, Alan Rawlings, Eric van der
Schilden (TASC), Komputer Korner, Danny Mozes, Rod McShane, Dr.
Ulrich Potthoff and the City of Dormund web server
(http://www.dortmund.de/chess.htm), Bertrand Weegenaar. I hope
that is a complete list as these big TWICs 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.

Mark

-----------------------------------------------------------------
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. It's 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 fundamental. 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 player's 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 tournaments, there
have 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.

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 opens, 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 an
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 Olympiad 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...

The games will be available from TWIC on the internet

10) Andres Rodriguez makes his 2nd. GM norm
=======================================
by Roberto Alvarez

IM Andres Rodriguez, from Uruguay, made his second GM norm at the
Rosario International tournament, a 9 rounds closed, FIDE cat. 7.
At the beginning, Andres Rodriguez took the first place, and
ended the tournament with 2 draws in a row, without fight, to
secure the GM result, and clear 1st prize 1,5 points ahead of the
following, who tied for 2nd: 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%, 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
marrying the Scottish Olympiad squad manager, Jonathan Grant,
recently in the City.

13) Fischerandom chess game between Bronstein and Douven

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: Kd1,Qa1,Rb1,Rg1,Be1,Bh1,Nc1,Nf1.

Game in PGN
-----------
[Note from MC]
My experience with FEN notation with PGN is nil. 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.

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 GMs and 2 WGMs
attended, amongst whom was 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 <kor...@iosphere.net>

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 its 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 them (10) Bertrand Weegenaar
-------------------------------------------------------
Books come in steadily from English and American sources, I
conclude in this 10th and little jubilee edition of Books. I have
discussed more than 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 there 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 match books 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 developments 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 let's use our
imagination) who read this. He will start a new Website 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-magazine
Fernschach, which is the official ICCF-magazine. If players,
publishers, autors etc. want to support Tim please let him know:
his E-mail address: thar...@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 main reasons this Books is
rather late). The variety of the subjects is also very good.

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 explains 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

Carl Schlechter!, Life and times of the Austrian Chess Wizard,
Warren Goldman, Caissa Editions, 1994, 537 p. (ISBN
0-939433-18-4) Price: $46

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 career 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 described 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 than 60
thrilling pages. In the 5th game Schlechter took the lead and was
able to defend this lead the next 4 games. The 10th was a tragic
clash where Schlechter attacked and attacked and lost after 71
moves. He also lost the match because Lasker remained world
champion. In this part of the book the author shows 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. (Addendum by JB: I have purchased
and read this book. It is WELL WORTH the $46 asking price.)

An opening repertoire for the attacking player, E.Gufeld, Cadogan
Chess, 1996, 160 p. (ISBN 1-85744-196-6) Price: $21.95

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 taste. 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 to
the enemy's throat at once. A little more uncompromising 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 pawn push
against the Caro Kann. 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 literally
stuffed with aggressive, attacking positions. If you are a club
player who finds attacking more fun then moving around behind
his pawn fortress, 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 opening books 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 successful career,
until he reached the grandmaster title at the age of 15. In these
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 uncompromising 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
picturesque analyses Michael gives. I hope we don'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 an 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 intriguing 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 as 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 aspects, like
Underpromotion, Perpetual harassment 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.
Study 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.
