[21/7/04] Manchester Summer Congress, 9-11 July 2004 [21/7/04] EACU Congress, 12-13 June 2004 [21/7/04] Chess - The Musical: Production runs this week (14-17 July) at The Wycombe Swan Theatre, High Wycombe, Bucks - tickets for Wednesday night are 2 for the price of 1, call the Box Office on 01494 512 000. This highly acclaimed musical develops the ancient and distinguished game of chess into a metaphor for romantic rivalries and East-West political intrigue. The principal pawns form a love triangle: the loutish American Grandmaster, the earnest Russian champion, and the Hungarian-American female chess second, who arrives at the international championships with the American but falls for the Russian. From Tyrol to Thailand the players, lovers, politicians, CIA and KGB make their moves to the pulse of this monumental rock score. Several numbers, including "One Night in Bangkok" and "I Know Him So Well", are international hits. [13/7/04] The radio play 'Chess Wars' was broadcast on Radio

season, several English players have been playing chess far and wide. World Chess Championship 2004: Sadly Michael Adams lost the first game of the rapidplay two game blitz match with the White pieces. He secured some pressure, but then seemed to lose his way. Eventually he blundered a piece badly. In the second game he had the uphill battle of trying top win with Black, never an easy task at the best of times. Rustam played the Exchange Ruy with which he had been so successful earlier in the match. This opening has the reputation of starving Black of winning chances. Michael succeeded only in making the endgame somewhat complicated. Eventually they agreed a draw when there was no play left at all. Thus Rustam Kasimdzhanov is the new FIDE World Champion. The series went
So near and yet so far. One has to hand it to the younger man. The Uzbek
