A quite small KWA meeting took place
last weekend (20/09/2009) in the Norwegian town of Fredrikstad, four of
our members were present: Øystein Brekke, Calle Erlandsson, Ole
Kristian Førrisdahl and Gunnar Finnlaugsson. The latter currently
participates in the Nordic Senior Championship, just see www.sjakk.net/nordisk-2009/
(the four top boards are broadcasted live). Anyhow Gunnar managed to start
excellently with 3.5/4 and he is still very well placed (4.5/6); the game
against the leading Finnish chess legend Heikki Westerinen in round 6
(24/09/09) ended in a draw.

On
September 10th our members Per Skjoldager and Jørn Erik B. Nielsen
had a great Nimzowitsch performance at the Copenhagen Brønshøj
Chess Club. The considerable number of 50 visitors (instead of the 15 to
20 expected) speaks well for a remarkable interest in chess history and
Nimzowitsch in Denmark. Together with Gunnar Finnlaugsson and Calle Erlandsson
also four KWA members attended this event.
