	Cultural Village of Europe 2005 - Kilingi-Nõmme
		In Wijk aan Zee people felt they should make it known that urban culture is not all there is, that there's also a vibrant village culture with a whole lot going for it.
		Wijk aan Zee is a village that dates back to the Middle Ages and has retained its vibrancy.
		As Wijk aan Zee has experienced so often this year, hospitality is a form of culture that is not accorded its due place among the arts.

		As Wijk aan Zee begins to fade into the distance - a tournament memorable more for who didn't win (Kramnik) than who did (Anand, I think) — a brief overview of the forthcoming tournament seems appropriate.
		Gary Kasparov: After his now traditional boycotting of Wijk Aan Zee, it's a relief to see that there's at least one big tournament that Kaspy will still play in.
		If Wijk aan Zee is anything to go by, he's slipped back into bad habits and will probably try to draw every game as quickly as possible.

		This will be Kasparov's third appearance at the tournament, and such was his domination of the first two in 1999 and 2000, the event was nicknamed "Kasparov aan Zee".
		With both now making serious inroads in an attempt to become the second player to breach the 2800 barrier, both stand a good chance of stripping Kasparov of the only title he can now lay claim to: world number one.
		Then again, this could be just the spur that an angry Kasparov needs to once again dominate Wijk aan Zee.

		Dutch Treat by Hans Ree Angry Boss Never inclined to contentedly polish his trophies, Gary Kasparov is still angry about what happened at the Corus tournament in Wijk aan Zee, and in an interview on his website www.kasparovchess.com he spouts his grievances.
		Working for Kasparov is said to have the advantage of receiving a decent salary, but it certainly requires one to have an elephant's skin.
		During the Wijk aan Zee tournament, Van de Mortel had written a report on kasparovchess.com in which he had implied that Kasparov had stood badly in his game against Judit Polgar.

		At the opening press conference of the elite Corus tournament in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, Garry Kasparov and Viswanathan Anand were quizzed about their long delayed private world title match.
		However a few days into the Corus tournament, spectators at Wijk aan Zee were wondering whether the Kasparov-Anand match, now scheduled for September, will be a contest worth watching.
		After four rounds of the Wijk aan Zee tournament, Kasparov and Anand were near the top of the standings, but both were showing that their six month lay-off from top chess, a break which had not affected their world rankings of one and two, had left them seriously short of match practice.

		Ian Rogers When the elite Wijk aan Zee tournament concluded last week, the lead story in Dutch newspapers was not Viswanthanan Anand's victory but the disastrous result registered by Jan Timman.
		Less than 10 years ago local hero Timman was playing for the FIDE world title against Anatoly Karpov; now journalists were asking him whether he expected to play in Wijk aan Zee ever again.
		After Wijk aan Zee, the Dutch press had clearly decided that Timman at 51 was too old and too unprepared to compete in such a high level tournament.

		The first major event of 2003, the Corus Grandmaster tournament which concludes in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, tonight, has proved just how tough top level tournaments can be for a player off form or distracted.
		In Wijk aan Zee, the main victim has been FIDE World Champion Ruslan Ponomariov who has been preoccupied with the negotiations for his title defence against Garry Kasparov, the first step in the proposed reunification of the two world titles.
		In theory Ivanchuk should already be preparing for a June match-up with Kasparov in Florida but instead FIDE keeps extending their deadline for Ponomariov and Ivanchuk, looking more than usually distracted in Wijk aan Zee, probably feels himself to be just another negotiating tool for FIDE against their World Champion.
