Subject: American Chess Center International Rounds 1-4 GAMES
Summary: London, Ashley leading, Winslow plays!
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1993 07:07:30 GMT

This is yet another tournament in the ongoing phenomenon of Erik Moskow.
Dr. Moskow used to be a "promising junior" and Dragon maniac, then quit
chess to become a successful practitioner.  Last year he came back to
chess, organizing round-robin tournaments (and playing, of course!).

His first event was the US Chess International/Reshevsky Memorial/Milbank
Tweed Grandmaster Tournament, in which he finished 0-9.  But since then he
has been getting creditable results.  The latest tournament is being
played at the American Chess Center (which houses the Manhattan Chess Club
and the American Chess Foundation).  Among other things, it features yours
truly, playing his first rated games since the 1990 World Championship in
New York (No, I mean in the Staff-Journalists match!).  In fact, I don't
think I've ever played any of the other participants before.

Also playing is Kiti Grosar, a teenager from Slovenia staying with the
Waitzkins.  Her 2120 rating is perhaps a bit low; check out her
second-round game.

There are a number of rescheduled games.  Also, the notes below (done "on
the fly" in ChessBase 4.0, for which the usual credit is hereby given!)
are highly preliminary!  Just a quick what-I-thought-I-thought sort of
thing.
