		GM Lautier: The Grandmaster Committee, which was created at the initiative of Yasser Seirawan at the time of his active collaboration with FIDE (right after the Prague agreement of May 2002), has unfortunately not been able to implement any of its intended plans, mostly due to FIDE's appalling inertia.

	Viswanathan Anand demolishes Lautier
		BIEL (SWITZERLAND), July 22: Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand proved his superiority in preparation and tactics scoring a quick-fire win over Joel Lautier of France in the inaugural round of the Credit Suisse Grandmasters Chess Tournament being held here.
		Lautier's Scandinavian Defence as opening choice was a pleasant surprise for Anand, who himself had used it once against PCA champion Garry Kasparov in their World Championship match in 1995 and hence knew the positions well.
		This landed his queen in an uncomfortable position, paving way for a neat combination by Anand, which involved a queen sacrifice, acceptance of which would have led to a mate in three moves.

		The big joke within the camp was that the house sort of took on the appearance and feel of the cult TV show Big Brother – they were all stuck in it and did everything together.
		It seems that your backroom team of Lautier, Illescas and Bareev were much better than Kasparov’s.
