{Every year chess "July madness" comes to the eastern coast of the USA. This
time World Open took place in Arlington, Virginia just few miles from the
White House and Capitol. The guests of comfortable Hyatt Regency Hotel saw
hundreds of people constantly crowded in the low ballroom levels . Most of
them were holding sets of chess pieces and chess clocks. Perhaps someone was
surprised by this view but not me - I made some simple calculations (using the
USCF site) and found out that it was my 15th World Open tournament since 1990.
Appereances did not change much during those 25 years, exept that many years
in a row event was held in Philadelphia and since last year it moved to
Arlington. This game was played in 6th round while we both were leading with 4,
5 points. Every year chess "July madness" comes to the one of the cities of
eastern coast of the USA. This time World Open took place in Arlington, just
couple of miles from the White House and Capitoly.} 1. Nf3 {Already surprize,

withdrew from the event while being clear leader with 8,5 points out of 10.
This game was briefly annotated in the Russian language book "Russians against
Fisher" by S.Voronkov and D. Plisetsky. I was hoping that following footsteps
of the great Robert Fisher will make no harm to me, and at the end it proved
to be right!}) 7... Bxe5 8. Bd2 {This modest move indicates that Kovalyov
