Greetings.

What happened at (or to) the "75th Anniversary of the Catalan Opening"
tournament http://www.fcde.org/circulars04/circula_40.htm which was
supposed to take place 29nov-3dec with all games beginning 1.d4 d5
2.c4 e6 3.g3 Nf6 and featuring Korchnoi, Felgaer, in, Comas, and
Moskalenko among others ?

The web page hasn't been updated since before the tournament began, and
mention of it has been dropped from www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic.html

Did it take place ? Are there any PGN files ?

You must have missed it in Section 5 of this week's TWIC

http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/twic526.html

The PGN files are at

Yes it did take place, but the only place I know the games are
available is at: http://www.chess21.com/play/a21.asp?g=1

Select the "Live!"-button and scroll down the list. It should have all
five rounds of games. I suppose someone has made the PGN available,
but I sure can't find it.
