1) Introduction
------------

My thanks to Shay Bushinsky, Michael Niermann, Otto Borik, 
Norbert Friedrich, Wlodek Proskurowski, Philip L. Peterson,
Ralph Frisch, Darrin Bond, SS Quah and others for their help 
with this issue.

I'm sorry for the rather limited number of games this week
but they have been a little thin on the ground. Hopefully
a fuller quota next week. One of the major reasons I imagine
has been the FIDE Candidates. It has (quite rightly) dominated
the thoughts of many of the sources I use for gamescores.

2) FIDE World Chess Championships Semi-Finals.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A report on a match involving Gata Kamsky would be incomplete without 
an incident involving Rustam Kamsky. This time the problem occured 
before the match began and was aimed at one of Kamsky's seconds rather
than the opposition. It occurred at a party / reception to welcome
the arrival of the players. Alex Shabalov was spending quite a bit of time 
chatting with Gelfand`s girlfriend (Zoe Trann, not sure of the surname
precisely). Shabalov knows Gelfand quite well but he didn't speak to
him. According to Darrin Bond who has spoken to Shablov since his 
return to the States:

"At any rate later at another party Rustam went ballistic sucker punching 
Alex from behind as he was engaged in conversation with someone else.  Blows 
were exchanged (sorry no punch stats) and they were quickly seperated."

"Alex was not sacked.  He left under his own terms in response to Rustam's
actions.  He was not fired, or sacked nor was he asked to leave."

The presumption in most of the press reports I have seen is that 
Rustam didn't want the seconds to speak to the "opposition" (although
Kamsky isn't playing Gelfand this time) and that this brought about the
incident. But who can fathom Rustam Kamsky? I doubt there is anyone
who seriously questions the honesty of Shabalov and moreover one
would hardly choose a party to pass on secret information. 

On the board it was Gata Kamsky showing all the toughness. He ground
out a win in a favourable, but not necessarily favourable ending in
game one and after an easy draw in game two he beat Salov again.
Again in game 3 Salov ought not really to have lost (24. ... Nxe4 seems 
quite level to us). I am however informed that even worse, the game is
actually thoery until move 29! 29.f4 is a suggestion of T.Georgadse in the ECO.
(Norbert Friedrich tells me). In addition in game 4, Salov was probably 
winning but went astray somewhere between move 40 and 60. (I'll leave
that to the experts.) Thanks to Otto Borik for the gamescores and result
from Kamsky-Salov (5) in particular which arrived shortly before the
dealine of TWIC 19. Kamksy won, this match is all over now bar the 
shouting.

Gelfand and Karpov have played a closely contested match so far. 
Gelfand may have missed some opportunities in game one, but 
in game two Karpov probably did have a win just prior to move 40
which he missed in time trouble. Game 3 gave Gelfand a nice moral
boosting win, in a well controlled game. Game 4 seemed to be 
a classic Karpov squeeze, Gelfand's position deteriorated and he decided
to lash out, the results of which was that he was routed. Game 5 was a 
short draw. Its important that Gelfand at least draws tomorrow.

8) PCA World Title Match in Cologne to be sponsored by INTEL
---------------------------------------------------------

At a press conference in Cologne on Thursday INTEL announce their
continued sponsorship of PCA events, such as the rapidplay circuit and
in addition the sponsorship of the PCA's World Title Match.

Perhaps the most important part of the deal as far as publicity is
concerned are the TV deals with BBC (England), WDR (Germany),
Channel 4 (Russia) and ESPN (US). Which events these networks 
are to cover will have to be seen.

Speaking about the British coverage, I have always prefered the 
BBC approach which has been longstanding and quite professional.

The Cologne match between Kasparov and the winner of Anand / Kamsky
which will take place in Cologne in September will be over 20 games.

Kasparov was was dismissive of Kamsky's chances of challenging him
he is quoted as saying:

" Vishy's just a much better player"

Here is a list of the PCA events that I know of this year.

PCA Semi-finals Kamksy/Anand Las Palmas.	Mar. 8th  - Mar. 25th
PCA Riga Super Classic.				Apr. 12th - Apr. 24th
Moscow Grand Prix.				Apr. 27th - Apr. 30th
PCA Novgorod Super Classic.			May  25th - Jun.  7th
New York Grand Prix				Jun. 15th - Jun. 18th
PCA World Championships FINALS. Cologne.	Sep. 10th - Oct. 14th

Additional events that I don't have dates for are the London and
Paris legs of the Grand Prix.

9) FIDE - PCA UNIFICATION DOCUMENTS
***************************************

The first of these is the full document that I quoted in
part (because I didn't have it in full) last week. There
were comments from me appended last week.

PROPOSED MEASURES TOWARDS UNITY

To fulfil the goals set forth in the Declaration of Cooperation
between FIDE and PCA, we propose the following steps:

1. To reunite the two cycles in order to end the current confusion
   among chess players, chess fans, sponsors and media, and to
   present a system that will bring the World Chess Championship
   Match to the core of public interest. To this end, a Reunification
   Match will be organized in 1996 after the completion of the two
   cycles. FIDE and PCA will ensure the appropriate changes in their
   respective regulations that will oblige the winners of the cycles
   to play such a match. This will be the full implementation of the
   World Championship Cycle and both organizations acknowledge that,
   barring physical incapacity of the incumbent, the only way for the
   14th World Champion to acquire the title is by beating his
   predecessor in fair competition. Thus the World Championship Match
   of 1996 will guarantee the unbroken continuity of the 110-year
   history of the World Chess Championship.

2. To agree on the rules and other details of such a Match, a Joint
   Commission shall be formed urgently on an equal representation
   basis and will finalize the regulations by May 1st 1995.

3. To reunite the World Championship Cycle such that it will be held
   under the joint logo of FIDE and PCA after 1995. The Joint
   Commission shall oversee this task and develop a plan for the
   substantial reform of the future cycle with a view to cutting
   costs and simplifying implementation.

4. To make Cost Effectiveness the watchword in this new cooperation
   and to closely examine all official events with a view to reduction
   of costs, ease of organization and better access for the media,
   specially TV.

5. To form a Commission to ensure the gradual unification of the
   rating systems. Both parties agree that the ELO system needs
   improvement due both to the advances in computer technology and
   to errors which have come to light. A new system will be presented
   as soon as possible uniting the FIDE and PCA ratings, also taking
   into account the interests of the average player. The logo will be
   jointly owned by FIDE and PCA. The rating of the top 500 players
   will be published bi-monthly.

6. PCA in its capacity as a commercial entity will manage commercial
   events and will guarantee the annual payment of an agreed
   contribution to FIDE's expenses. The division of profits from
   Joint Events will be regulated by special agreement.

7. FIDE will start a comprehensive restructuring of its own
   organization to make it commercially more efficient. As a first
   step, the payment of Stipends to elected officials shall be
   eliminated.

8. To work together in bringing chess into the Olympic Movement.

***********************************

DECLARATION OF COOPERATION BETWEEN FIDE AND THE PCA

In the spirit of unity and with the view of future cooperation,
we, Florencio Campomanes, as FIDE President, and Garry Kasparov,
representing the PCA Board, hereby declare:

FIDE and the PCA both recognize that the split which occurred in
March-April 1993 could have been avoided had both adopted less
confrontational stances. At the same time, they recognize that
the split engendered positive developments, primarily an increase
in fund-raising activities which have identified new sources of
financial support for chess.

To nurture these new sources and to strengthen the trend towards
commercial and multinational sponsorship which will hasten the
steady development of the chess world, it is now essential to
avoid any possibility of irresponsible action promoted by
factions with vested interests.

This Declaration aims to remove any negative potential of the
current split which will harm not only chess players but also
their Federations. We intend it to lead the way to an Agreement
between FIDE and PCA which will usher in a new chess era based
upon full and vigorous cooperation between the two organizations.

We believe that it is essential now to combine our forces in
order not to lose this historic momentum that has been generated
in the chess world. We are convinced that by integrating our
policies and unifying our efforts we can make chess a professional
self-financed sport capable of diving into the mainstream to
become a marketing by-word and a universal sport.

10) CAMPO EYES BUSINESS VENTURE WITH KASPAROV
------------------------------------------
(a newspaper report from the Malaysian press)

World Chess Federation (FIDE) Florencio Campomanes of the Philippines
intends to work with rival Garry Kasparov of the Professional Chess
Association (PCA) on a business partnership.

Campomanes said Kasparov has offered to help make FIDE financially
stable under a business partnership.

"There is no one better than Kasparov to work with in this venture,"
he told *Chessmate* during a recent visit to Kuala Lumpur.

Campomanes said during the last eight years, he and Kasparov have
made possible the sponsorship of many major chess events.

"The FIDE-PCA unification will benefit both and bring in more revenues
to chess federations around the world. This is what I want to
accomplish. I want to get big business corporations like NEC and IBM
to be involved in our chess tournaments."

He said FIDE will meet to discuss its business ties with PCA as soon
as possible in accordance with the agreement decided at the general
assembly.

"PCA is a business organisation and basically wants to handle the
marketing and principle events of FIDE," said Campomanes. "We will
establish a FIDE-PCA commission to oversee the entire discussion of
all issue pertaining to business venture."

The commission is expected to be formed within the next few months.

11) Another view. (information from Otto Borik)
-----------------------------------------


Some minutes ago (9 Feb 1995) I've received a fax with a statement from
India which has been written in name of all FOUR candidates
but signed only by three of them (Gelfand did not). I have
typed (not edited!) this text, here is it:

STATEMENT
--------
The semi-finalist of the current World Championship matches
present here in Sanghi Nagar: 
World Champion Anatoly Karpov and Candidates International
Grandmasters Valery Salov, Gata Kamsky and Boris Gelfand 
issue jointly the following declaration:

* They are of the opinion that coming match between the 
winners of these semi-finals should be officially designated
as the match for the World Chess Championship. In accordance
with the decision taken at the FIDE  Gereral Assembly held
in Curitiba, Brasil (1993), the winner sould be declared the
World Champion.

* As regards the new proposal for a so called "unification"
match between the winner of this current cycle, i.e. 
"the next World Champion" and the winner of the break-away
PCA-cycle (who will be known later this year), we declare
the following: 
  We are very surprised and upset about the invitation by Mr.
Florencio Campomanes to be MERE OBSERVERS in the FIDE-PCA 
commision that will decide about the future of FIDE and our
careers in chess. May we remind Mr. Campomanes that we are -
by virtue of being semi-finalists - the strongest chess 
players in FIDE at the moment. May we also remind Mr. 
Campomanes that we have consistently looked after the 
interests of FIDE in its hour of need. A majority of the 
present semi-finalists will for these reasons be deemed to
form a quorum to decide on questions of expediency of such
a match, it's organisation and all other details associated
with it.

* The present semi-finalists are of the sincere opinion 
that a number of changes may have to be made in the current
FIDE-regulations that govern the cycle and the matches of 
the World Chess Championship. A majority of the present
semi-finalists will be deemed to form a quorum for the 
proposals that we intend to make for these needed changes
in the regulations.

12) Haifa Category 14 by Shay Bushinsky
------------------------------------

------------------
 ROUND 8 - 05/02/95
------------------
 
Alterman      1/2 Greenfeld
Milov         1/2 Kosashvili
Psakhis       1/2 Yudasin
Dolmatov      1/2 Gruenfeld
Svidler       1/2 Gurevich
Akopian       1/2 Smirin
 
No change in standings after round 8 of play in the GM tournament.
Dolmatov could have moved ahead but he missed a win against Gruenfeld.
In the Israeli derby match Psakhis obtained a worse position after a
poor opening against Yudasin. This match was accompanied with
some pre-match psychological war. He then offered a draw to his long
time opponent who had just recently become Israeli champion at Psakhis`
expense. Milov copied Psakhis` bad opening preparations and granted what seemed
good chances for Kosashvili again. But Yona went wrong and had to settle
with a draw. No other dramatic games as the rest seemed to take it easy.
 
 
------------------
ROUND 9 - 06/02/95
-------------------
 
Kosashvili 1-0 Psakhis
Gurevich   0-1 Alterman
Greenfled  1/2 Akopian
Yudasin    1/2 Svidler
Smirin     1/2 Dolmatov
Gruenfled  1/2 Milov
 
 
Two rounds to go and the under-rated is in the lead
---------------------------------------------------
 
Kosashvili is proving that talent can sometimes be enough to compete
well in a strong GM tournament. Kosashvili, a full time student of
medicine (he is in his final year) is the surprise sole leader of this strong
professional tournament. In round 9 he chose the exchange variation of
the French defense. In a brilliant positional game he reached a
prefered double bishop ending to win again this time against the
experienced GM Lev Psakhis. In another decisive game Alterman and
Gurevich drove into a dangerous alley. Just as the game looked turning
towards Guervich he missed a 2 move mate threat and was downed again.
Akopian decreased his chances of winning this competition as he was
unable to take advantage of his minimal edge and of Greenfelds serious
time trouble. After the time scramble both agreed on a draw. Yudasin
stood very badly against Svidler but the younger opponent went
wrong and conceded a draw. Smirin was content to offer a draw to
Dolmatov after 15 moves only leaving the latter still very much in the
race for first place. Milov settled for an off the board draw with
Gruenfeld who felt ill just before the game.
 
-------------------
ROUND 10 - 07/02/95
-------------------
 
Kosashvili 1/2 Gruenfeld
Psakhis    0-1 Svidler
Dolmarov   1/2 Greenfeld
Akopian    1/2 Gurevich
Milov      0-1 Smirin
Alterman   1/2 Yudasin
 
A round to go - first place is still open
-----------------------------------------
 
A bad game reaching a worse position did not undermine Yona Kosashvili
who still has the best chances to win the first prize in the
tournament. At least three GMs if not 5 are still very able to win
this neck to neck event.
 
Psakhis ruined his last chance to have a say in the final standings
trying to force a win against Svidler. Dolmatov may now have the best
chance to win the tournament as his last opponent will be Gurevich who has
completely lost interest in this event. Dolmatov prefered a very quite
and solid game against Greenfeld's Sicilian and was content after it
ended in a draw. Akopian, who was expected to do much better, did not
take any risks against Gurevich and conceded a draw as well. Smirin
Deployed a very impressive Kings Indian Defence, over-running Milov's shaky
game. Smirin won to get back into contention for a share of first place. 
Yudasin and Alterman settled for a quick draw leaving both with
good chances for a top prize.
 
-------------------
ROUND 11 - 08/02/95
-------------------
 
Smirin    1/2  Kosashvili
Yudasin   1/2  Akopian
Svidler   1-0  Alterman
Gurevich  1/2  Dolmatov
Greenfeld 1/2  Milov
Gruenfeld 1/2  Psakhis
 

Psakhis ruined his last chance to have a say in the final standings
trying to force a win against Svidler. Dolmatov may now have the best
chance to win the tournament as his last opponent will be Gurevich who
completely lost interest in this event. Dolmatov prefered a very quite
and solid game against Greenfeld's Sicilian and was content after it
ended in a draw. Akopian who was expected to do much better, did not
take any risks against Gurevich and maintained a draw as well. Smirin
Deployed a very impressive Kings Indian Defense over-running Milov's shaky
game. Smirin climbed back to become a decider in the final
round. Yudasin and Alterman settled for a quick draw leaving both with
good chances for a top prize.


It is easier to beat someone when he tries to beat you
------------------------------------------------------
 
GM Yona Kosashvili of Hulon Israel scored a remarkable win in this 
very strong tournament that ended yesterday. When the tournament
started he was thought of at all as a potential winner.
Kosashvili, 30, managed to refute Smirin's will to beat him
and share first place, coming back from an inferior position in the
Spanish opening. The game lasted longer than the other matches, which
ended mostly in quick draws. No doubt this is the high point in
Kosashvili's chess career, which is not professional as he entered his
last year of medicine. His result earned him with 22 FIDE ELO points
bringing him as high as 2582 and revealed him to be a strong GM.
The only other decisive game  was Peter Svidler's win against Alterman's Sicilian Dragon. This concluded a nice comeback as he started 0 out of 3
Svidler was also the only player who beat Kosashvili.
This concludes my reporting of this high class event. If you feel
something is still missing, I hope to be able to produce at least some
of it by next week. (Shay is referring to games. 8-) MC)

   Nowadays a player of more than 30 years of age in otb play seems to have

   retirement, please correct me if I am wrong) with a fine miniature that
   was awarded the First Prize.
