Olympiad Appeal - donations needed urgently!

The Olympiad Appeal have so far raised only $1630. The ACF Council encourages and urges chess players in Australia to donate to the Olympiad Appeal. Cheques/money orders should be made out to "Australian Chess Federation" and sent to: ACF Treasurer Norm Greenwood, P.O. Box 1840, Westfield Hornsby Post Office 1635. Corporations or business sponsors please call ACF President George Howard on 0414 841575.

Olympiad update: Both are men's and women's teams have been performing well. The Olympiad has been dominated by two teams - China in the women's event, and The Ukraine in the men's - who lead with big margins.

Meanwhile, the ACF's roving reporter Ralph Jackson has arrived in Majorca. He's having trouble negotiating some of the bureacracy, but sent back this report:

"Hi

Watched Round 7 yesterday. The Aussie team hoped for a bit more from Belgium but in the end, the guys weren´t unhappy to have the 4 draws, given several were achieved from less favourable positions. The girls were pleased to win 2-1 against Bosnia-Herzegovina to be equal 21st and Ingela is worth watching for a possible board prize.

The venue is a small (for a casino) casino on a hillside overlooking the sea with theatre halls at each end. Majorca is a mountainous island belonging to Spain and situated sort of south of France. It is maybe 100km or so end to end and fairly mountainous with high peaks over 1000m. Back at the chess, spectators get a view across the games below from a balcony with a selection of 24 games on big screens in the main theatre. In the smaller womens hall, viewers can sit or stand in the rear and likewise follow key games on the big screen. The lobby in between is bustling with expo-like stands and a long bar. Security is airport-style.

The most exciting moment came when someone switched off the power to the whole building. When the lights came back on, Canada and Croatia had a right barney of a dispute going on.

Today we play Turkey and Argentina respectively and both Aussie teams went in aiming for positive territory.

The teams are staying at a 3-star resort town nearby, Santa Ponsa. There´s a nice beach a few hundred metres away and the bay setting is picture-postcard stuff. Backing the beach, bright green parrots flit about the neat No-Picnics Ground. Then all the cafes, souvenir shops, apartments and hotels. While the weather is warm and wonderful, the peak tourist season is over and the atmosphere is quiet. Santa Ponsa´s tourists look like tourists. Dominantly British and German, mostly middle-aged-plus, a few families, not too many young ravers. The Simons and Sarahs go to Ibiza, an island somewhere nearby. While British and Irish themed bars are plentiful, the Spanish home side still dominates the cafe-strip atmosphere. The maturer Aussies have settled on the Dubliner Bar, a short walk from the hotel where the band plays 60s-80s memories with a level of respect appreciated by the patrons. Meanwhile our more youthful combatants have become mates with the Norwegians and chill-out at a bar down the street playing pool. In the mornings, Stephen Solomon sets the example with a 7km run.

Palma, with its old harbour of classy yachts, ancient cathedral and old town, is about 10km away. Busy preparing in the mornings, most of the side are still to visit.

Several adventurous Aussies took to the roads exploring Majorca on the rest day in a hire car, captained by a team member more accustomed to Melbourne´s traffic patterns. After a decidedly bumpy start, it was suggested by the team to drive the rest of the way on the right hand side of the road, falling in with the local custom, and all returned safely with no further encounters of a metallic kind.

We are all bemused about FIDE President Kirsan´s announcement for Australia's Chess City (see last week's Bulletin - Ed) and we will advise any details as they come to hand. Interestingly, us Aussies will be increasing visitors to Dubai, site of the proposed hotel-laden Chess City number 2 (Kirsan´s Elista is number one already). Why? Emirates have orders for 50 (yes, 49) of the new double-beck Airbus A380s, and they'll be flying non-stop the long legs to and from Downunder. Maybe instead of a gymnasium, there could be chess tournaments held on the upper deck? Anyway, Emirates Airlines and Chess City (if it lives up to speculation) will be two of the better known attributes of Dubai, so maybe Australia can hope for some chessy spin off in some way?

Cheers - Ralph Jackson

This can get ugly, given that black hasn't castled kingside

11.Nh2 Rg8 12.Nd2 g4 13.h4 g3 14.fxg3 Rxg3 15.Bxa7 Bh3!?

( 16.Be3 Rxg2+ 17.Kh1 Ng4 18.Nxg4 Rxg4 19.Bf2 is interesting ... )

Nxe4?

This combo seems to be based on a miscalculation ... unless I'm missing something - but despite losing a piece, Solo proceeds to whip up a winning attack in the ending!

17.Nxe4 Bxa1 18.Rxa1 Nxb3 19.Qh6! Qf8

( 19...Nxa1 20.Nfg5! +- so black is forced to swap off queens )

20.Qxf8+ Kxf8 21.Rab1 Na5

This ending should be winning for white if he can hang on to the c-pawn

22.Rb4 Be6 23.Ned2 f6 24.Nd4 Bf7 25.Rdb1 e5 26.N4b3 Nc6 27.Rb6 f5 28.g3 Ke7 29.f4 Kd7 30.c5

It dawns on white that his Rb6 is vulnerable

30...Kc7 31.fxe5 dxe5 32.Bc4 Be8 33.Bd5 Ne7 34.Be6 Rd8 35.Nc4 Bc6 36.Nba5 Be4 37.R1b3 Rd1+ 38.Kf2 f4!

Suddenly the white king's vulnerable

39.gxf4 exf4 40.Nd6 Bh1 41.Ndxb7 Nf5 42.Bxf5 gxf5 43.Rh6 Rg8

Ouch!

44.Rxh7+ Kb8 45.Nd8+ Kc8

46.Rb8+!?

Faced with the threat of mate by ...Rg2 and ..Rf1, white tries an interesting exchanging combo

46...Kxb8 47.Ndc6+ Kc8

( 47...Ka8 48.Ra7# )

48.Ne7+ Kd8 49.Nxg8 f3 50.Nb7+ Kc8 51.Nd6+ Kb8 52.Ne7 Rd2+ 53.Kg3 f2 54.c6 f1=Q 55.c7+

( 55.Rh8+ Ka7 56.Ndc8+ Kb8 57.Nd6+ Kc7 58.Ne8+ Kb6 doesn't work )

55...Kxc7 56.Nexf5+ Kc6 57.Kg4 Rxd6 0-1

Qxg3+ 32.hxg3 +/- Ke8 33.g4 Rh7 34.Bf6 g5!

Otherwise the Rh7 is out of the game

35.hxg5 Rh3 36.Kg2 Rxa3 37.Rh1 e5 38.Rh8+ Kd7 39.Rf8 Ke6 40.Re8+ Kd7 41.Rf8 Ke6 42.Bh8

Preparing g6! and Rf6+

42...Ne7 43.Re8 Kd7 44.Rb8 Ng6 45.Rxb7+! Ke6

( 45...Kc6 46.Rxf7!! Nxh8 47.Rf8 Ng6 48.Rf6+ +- )

46.Bf6 Rxa2 47.c5 Rc2 48.Rc7 a5 49.Rc6+ Kd7 50.Rd6+ Kc7 51.Bd8+ Kc8 52.Bb6 Nf4+ 53.Kg3 Rc3+ 54.f3 Rc2 55.g6 Rg2+ 56.Kh4 Nxg6+ 57.Kg5 Rh2 58.c6 Rh8 59.c7

Nicely done: A fine example of the persistent tactical "harrassment" Smerdon specialises in.

23...Ba4 24.Qc1 c6 25.Qc5 Nd5 26.Bd1

Probably better is leaving the Ba4 where it is, and trying to hold back ...c5 to keep the Ba4 out of the game

26...Bxd1 27.Rxd1 b5!?

Black can cover the backward c-pawn with ...Nd5-b6-c4, and white now has a bad bishop

28.a4?!

Now the b4 pawn is a liability. Maybe e4, f3 and Bg3 is better.
