A comment from ACF President Denis Jessop:
"The Grand Prix is on the verge of a great revival and these attractive prizes add substance to that. But its success depends on event organisers and players giving it their full support and I call on them to do that and make the 2006 Grand Prix the best ever."
Rybka revolution: There's been a great deal of excitement over a new chess engine, Rybka, that has trounced top programs such as Crafty and Fritz in early testing. Rybka was briefly available for free download but the link has now been removed. Rybka is said to play very "human" chess, though I must admit - I can't see it. Decide for yourself with this PGN file.

Dear Sir
This is to inform you that the World Youth U-16 Chess Olympiad
is
cancelled on the advice of FIDE as only one country i.e. South
Africa alone had confirmed participation. The Indian Chess
Federation was eager to organise even now. But with just two
countries India & South Africa, FIDE feels it is not prudent to
go
ahead with the World Youth Olympiad. Hence reluctantly we have
to
cancelled.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Regards
Dear Paul,
I worked on two new pages at my website, you might wish your readers to browse!?
Chess articles I recently wrote at:
I plan to update both relatively regularly.
Best regards, IM Jovan Petronic.

Grischuk beats Gelfand in playoff in FIDE World Cup: In round 5 Ponomariov beat Bareev, Bacrot downed Rublevsky, Gurevich fell to Aronian, and Grischuk downed Gelfand 3-1 in a playoff. In the minor placings, prodigy Magnus Carlsen continued his dream run by beating Lautier, Kamsky beat Sakaev and Malakhov beat Dreev. Carlsen lost to Bareev in round 4. Tournament favourite Vasily Ivanchuk was beaten 0.5-1.5 by Topalov's second, young Bulgarian GM Cheparinov in round 2 - the biggest upset so far. The tournament - a preliminary event in the FIDE world championship cycle - is under way in Siberia. Features a huge assortment of great players.
