1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4

The famous Evans Gambit. White offers a pawn to speed up his development. Unlike many old-fashioned gambits, this line is still occasionally played in top-level chess by players such as England's Nigel Short.

Continuing in the gambit spirit

( 10...Nxc4 11.Bxg7 or Qa4+ )

Black's Na5 is badly offside.

...Bg4!? was also possible, and black might like to retreat it to g6 via h5 to bolster the defence

Stopping ...Nf4, uncovering the Bb2, and preparing Bc3/Qa4 to capture the Na5

If Nxe5 the Bb2 would be biting on granite

Now it looks like black will win the Bd3

( 26...Qxd3 27.Qh6!! )

27.fxg7+ Kg8

28.Qh6!! Qd6 29.Qxh7+!! Kxh7 30.f6+!! Kg8

Japan decides: Fischer to be deported Japan has decided to deport former world chess champion Bobby Fischer, who is wanted in the United States for defying sanctions against Yugoslavia. A Japanese official said a deportation order had been issued and Fischer had been notified. Fischer was detained at Tokyo's Narita airport last month allegedly for having an invalid passport.

No date for deportation has been set, and it is not even certain he will be deported to the US, according to Japanese officials. In ordering the deportation, Japan has rejected Fischer's plea for refugee status. Fischer's lawyers have begun legal action to challenge the deportation order.

Notices

Call for nominations for ACF President: The annual National Conference of the Australian Chess Federation (ACF), amongst other matters, will also in each alternate year, elect members of the ACF Executive. The next annual National Conference, which will be held on 06 January 2005 during the Australian Open, will thus need to elect members of the ACF Executive, including the ACF President. Nominations for other members of the ACF Executive, unlike the nominations for the ACF President, can be received up to the time the election to fill each office is due to be held.

The ACF Constitution specifies that candidates for ACF President shall be limited to persons who have "advised the Federation in writing of their willingness to serve as President, [with] such advice having been received by the Federation not less than ninety days before the date on which the Annual National Conference at which elections are due is scheduled to start". The ACF’s rules regarding the election of the ACF president may be viewed at the ACF web site www.auschess.org.au/constitution

Pursuant to the ACF Constitution, nominations are now called for the post of ACF President.

How to submit your nomination:

You can submit your nominations by email or hardcopy. The email address for all nominations is jeydh4@hotmail.com

Should you be unable or not wish to transmit via email, the address for all correspondence is:
Jey Hoole, ACF Secretary, PO Box 308, Strathfield NSW 2135.

The deadline for the submission of all nominations is 30 September 2004. All nominations will be formally acknowledged with 72 hours. If you have not received an acknowledgment of your application by this time, please contact me.

If you have any queries or seek further clarification please contact me on 0411 062160, or (02) 6264 2462.

ICCF World Cup XIV: The International Correspondence Chess Federation is delighted to announce that the Australian Correspondence Chess Federation (CCLA) will be the main organiser of the next ICCF World Cup Tournament and all chess players are invited to enter. The tournament will be played in three stages, with separate postal, Email and Webserver sections in the preliminary stage, which will start in December 2004 at the latest.

Preliminary groups will all have 9-11 players, each with one game against each other player in the group, with the winners of each group qualifying for the Semifinal stage. Other qualifications will depend on the number of entries for the preliminary stage. Any tie breaking, necessary to decide qualification to the next phase will be done in accordance with ICCF rules, principally by use of the Sonneborn-Berger method.

Arrangements for the Semifinal/Final stages will be announced later, depending on the total number of entries and the preferred playing method of those entering the preliminaries.

Allocation of players to the preliminary and Semifinal groups will be made randomly, but geographical distribution, as well as an achievement of reasonable equality of the average rating, will be taken into account. In addition, those players who qualified for World Cup XII and XIII Finals will also be entitled to play in the Semifinal stages of World Cup XIV and the winner of WC XIII Final will be eligible to participate in World Cup Final XIV. Although the number of preliminary groups for each player is unlimited, no player will be able to qualify for more than two Semifinal groups or for more than one place in the Final.

Winners of preliminary and Semifinal groups will receive book prizes. Presumably, a cash prize of 1000 Swiss Francs will be awarded to the winner of World Cup XIV, with a trophy and gold medal. There will also be prizes of 600 Swiss Francs to the silver medalist and 400 Swiss Francs to the bronze medalist. The above prize money is subject to the formal approval of the ICCF Congress 2004 in Mumbai.

The following qualifications can be achieved in the Final: The winner of the World Cup Final XIV will qualify for the Final of the next World Cup Tournament (ICCF Tournament Rules, Article 3.6) and will gain the IM title (ICCF Tournament Rules, Article 8.6.c). The IM title will also be awarded to any players who achieve an IM result according to the Article 8.6.e of the ICCF Tournament Rules. All participants in the Final will qualify for the Semifinal of the next World Cup Tournament (ICCF Tournament Rules, Article 3.6), provided that they do not withdraw. The first and second placed players in the Final will qualify for the Candidates' Tournament of the World CC Championship (ICCF Tournament Rules, Article 1.2.1.e). All participants in the Final who score at least 60% of the possible number of points will qualify for the Semifinal of the World Cup CC Championship (ICCF Tournament Rules, Article 1.1.2.e).

The Australian Correspondence Chess Federation has appointed George Stibal (47 Whitehead Grove, Rosebud, Victoria, 3939, Australia; Phone: +03 5986 7995; Fax: +03 5986 1050) as the Central Tournament Leader (CTL) of this tournament. He will be assisted by a team of Tournament Directors. The appeal instance are the ICCF Appeals Commission (Playing Rules) for cases concerning the application of ICCF Playing Rules, and ICCF Appeals Commission (Other ICCF Rules) for cases concerning the application of Tournament Rules, Code of Conduct and any other rules matters, not covered elsewhere.

Entries (to include name, address and / or email address and the preferred way of transmission) should be submitted to George Stibal. It will also be possible to make multiple entries. Entry Fees will be $24.00* per section. Applications must reach the CTL no later than 15th September 2004, preferably by email. We wish all participants many interesting games and new links with CC friends in other countries, based on the spirit of friendship and the ICCF motto: Amici Sumus!

CC-SIM Tim Runting, President CCLA and George Stibal, Central Tournament Leader

PS. As the host nation, the CCLA is very pleased to announce that for all Australian chess players that are non-members of the CCLA, the $24.00 entry fee will also include their annual subscription (normally $16.00) to the CCLA. We hope that all interested chess players will take up this great offer from the CCLA.
