1) Introduction
----------------
My thanks to Vojin Vujosevic, Tom Crain, ICC, Einar Karlsson, Margeir Petursson,
Ian Rogers,Horacio Neto and Shay Bushinsky for their help with this issue.
Another big dash. Even more of a rush than last week in the end.
Some excellent chess this week. More FIDE news comes in all the time.
It is now thought that although FIDE have appointed a new President
that Campomanes will retain a key role as Chairman. Pretty sick as
Campomanes clearly cares little for FIDE.
I had written a long piece on this and other matters but that will have
to wait for another time. But I am getting heartily sick of people
acting in their own self interest and against the interests of chess
as one of the World's greatest games. It seems that the politics of
FIDE make it impossible to elect someone with vision to promote the
game. The PCA if anything is actually worse. This "organisation" is
now down to three after Short's resignation. An interesting question
might be who has earned more from chess in the last 3 years. Bob Rice
or Campomanes? We'll probably never know the answer.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) FIDE
----
I hoped to write a long piece here this week, but it will have to wait
as time is running out. It appears that Campomanes' could be more
substantial than suggested last week. I am hoping that this is not
the case.
The New Jersey State Chess Federation www page gives E Steven Doyle's
excellent report about the FIDE Congress. It also gives this:
(http://w3.gti.net/chess/njscf/njfide2.html)
FIDE Verification Commission Report
posted by the New Jersey State Chess Federation
Preface:
The following report was issued on November 22 by the Verification Commission
of FIDE during the recent 66th Congress in Paris. It questions the propriety of
financial transactions during the tenure of former FIDE President Florencio
Campomanes. It appears exactly as it was written.
It is posted here by the NJSCF as a supplement to the report of US Delegate E.
Steven Doyle.
VERIFICATION COMMISSION REPORT
The Verification Commission met on November 22. Members of the commission are
Mr. GELFER, Mr. EINARSSON, Mr. DOYLE. They met with the Treasurer, W. ICLICKI.
A serious question was raised regarding several items, especially Ex Gratia
payments or payments of the pension credits to two non-FIDE employees.
The facts are as follows:
1- Payments were made to President Campomanes and General Secretary Makropoulos
and other FIDE employees in the amount of 304,215 SFR.
This was done by the treasurer on the instructions of the President without any
approval from the Executive Council or General Assembly. And without being
included in the preapproved budget.
2- This represent over half of the current FIDE balance. Mr. Makropoulos
payments are based on stipend.
3- Mr Campomanes payments include stipend and expenses. This is highly
improper.
4- Mr. Iclicki said that this is based on International law. The verification
commission requests that further investigation takes place and an official
decision be obtained from the courts of Lausanne regarding payment to non
employees. And furthermore which type of compensation are to be considered in
the calculation.
5- In the opinion of the commission, inclusion of expenses in the calculation
is inappropriate and payments to non employees may be contrary to the spirit of
the pension credit. This point should also be resolved by legal opinion.
6- Overpayments should be refunded immediately to FIDE.
We therefore recommend that the financial report be accepted only after the
above listed items are rectified and reported back to the next general
assembly.
The 22nd of November 1995.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This incredible tournament finished with Gelfand and Kramnik sharing
first place. Kramnik again winning with a drastic demolision of
Beliavsky. Gelfand grinding down Lautier. I am still after all
the games. I have put all the games I have in the GAMES SECTION.
Vojin Vujosevic reports
In the November 17th issue of the Belgrade evening paper "Politika Ekspres"
there was an interview with Ljubojevic where among other things
he said:
On the talent present:
" Among the participants of this tournament there is no one with the
charisma needed to become the World Champion. I do not wish to
underestimate great talent and accomplishments of such players as
Kramnik and Ivanchuk. Still, a potential World Champion should
impress with the will power to sacrifice all things that are in the
way of chess."
About organization:
" ... this is the tournament that helps set world standards for the
competitions of this type."
On FIDE (this was before the FIDE bombshell in France):
"World chess is one big mess, nothing is functioning. I think it
is the fault of the players themselves especially Kasparov that we
are in the situation we are. For each creative thing he did on the
board there was one aimed at destruction of all chess structures!"

5) Icelandic National Championships Reykjavik

* I am not 100% convinced that this is the right Carlos Rodriguez. A
number of the other non-rated players might plausibly not have their
full names in the FIDE rating list. There are odd games missing, but
Slobodan Kovacevic's result is the most important. (could have
had a bye I suppose.)
