My thanks to Sinisa Joksic, George Mirijanian, Kristianus Liem, Ian
Rogers, Jordi Parayre, Sergio Estremera, John Henderson, Goran Tomic, Frank
Berry, Leonid Galperin, Laszlo Nagy, Liubovi, Greg Shahade, Anastazia Karlovich
and everyone else who helped with the issue.
After Topalov's victory in San Luis last week chess returns to
normality. There has been some reaction from Kramnik and Kasparov but the full
ramifications will take some time to become apparent. The 2nd Samba Cup was won
by Baadur Jobava and the Essent Hoogeveen has reached its second round. The
Bundesliga also started this week.
Hope you enjoy this issue.
Mark
The 2nd Samba Cup took place 14th to 23rd October 2005 in Skanderborg,
Denmark. Baadur Jobava won the event with 5.5/9. He defeated the leader Kamil

Garry Kasparov gave an interview with Eugeny Atarov of chesspro about
the recently finished San Luis tournament. Kasparov it appears is happy with
his decision to retire, sees Topalov as his successor and says Kramnik's world
title rights are "extremely disputable".
Kasparov interview in Russian with Eugeny Atarov of chesspro:
http://www.chesspro.ru/inter/kasparov3.shtml
(rough
and ready machine translation)
Vladimir Kramnik says he's willing to play Topalov -
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2694
and asserts only a match can establish the world champion. Responding in part
to Vesselin Topalov's interview:
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2693.
However maybe we can take all this with a pinch of salt. I understand at
least preliminary discussions have already taken place about the possibility of
a Kramnik - Topalov match and both players stand to make a lot of money along
with presumably FIDE for sanctioning it. In addition I think it would get a lot
of publicity for chess. There are more reasons for this to go ahead than not.
More difficult might be how the title is defended. Topalov has endorsed another
San Luis style event whereas Kramnik would want future cycles to end with a
match.

Center ?Sun Star Hotel? as the venue. Without doubt, playing room is one of the
most beautiful rooms for chess.
Davos is well-known tourist place, both winter and summer, popular
congress and meeting place, varied profession, for sure open door for the chess
event. Davos has particular micro-climate very convenient for chess (and all
others!).
Matthew Turner started very well and finished peaceful with few draws.
Petar Benkovic was only serious rival. In the last round nobody wanted to risk.
"Bucholz" decided the winner.
The best Swiss player was Nocolas Curien. Best Lady Erika Reust, best
senior Wolfgang Siebert. In tournament were a lot of interesting and good games
and players really enjoy time in Davos. As Arbiter I didn't have to work hard.

To promote the event there is a special chess challenge on Monday 24th
October 2005. Starting at 12.30pm at the RAC, Pall Mall. Grandmaster Alexei
Shirov, ranked 14th in the world and Spanish number 1, will be partnered by 7
year old Peter Andreev. They will play against Jon Speelman, partnered by 8
year old Edmund Harding. They will play a blitz speed match where the partners
play alternate moves without consultation. Both children are members of
