Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

It begins:

	The tournament was Linares 1999, one of the great
	successes of Garry Kasparov's greatest year. After
	12 of 14 rounds, Kasparov led by 2.5 points, while
	Vassily Ivanchuk, the hero of this week's show, was
	languishing near the bottom with a minus score. It
	was too late for Ivanchuk to salvage a good result
	in the tournament, but it's never too late to play
	well. To make this happen, drastic measures were
	required. In "preparation" for his 13th round game,
	against Veselin Topalov, Ivanchuk almost took his
	life in his hands....
