1) Introduction

My thanks to Peter Doggers, Paul Dunn, Miklos Orso, Peter Sowray, Haroon Or Rashid, Mike Scheidl, Andoni Madariaga, Eirik T. Gullaksen, Johan Hut, Øyvind Pedersen, Marius Fraenzel, Armando Cañapataña, Moshe Beinart, Gary Suffield, Zsuzsa Veroci, Jeffrey Hall, Patricia Claros Aguilar, Benjamín Góngora Montes, John Henderson, Eduardo Serrano Salvador, Anders Hansen, Anjo Anjewierden, Michael Atkins, Stewart Reuben and everyone else who helped with the issue.

Eventually Vladislav Tkachiev won the tie-break matches to take the European Title from 7 other players tied on 8 points. The final days tie-breaks were not covered live (and I still haven't found any games) and links to the results were not particularly clear. It also seems to have been another in a long line of events where the rules were changed at the last minute and the number of qualifiers was slightly reduced. Lets hope this is the last time. Lots of other interesting stuff this week and coming up next.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 8th Individual European Chess Championships

The 8th Individual European Chess Championships took place 2-16 April, 2007, in the International Congress Center, Dresden (Germany). 11 rounds Swiss system, 90 minutes for 40 moves plus 30 minutes for the rest of the game with an increment of 30 seconds per move, starting from move one. Vladislav Tkachiev won the tie-breaks beating Ivan Cheparinov (1.5-0.5) Dmitry Jakovenko (1.5-0.5) and Emil Sutovsky 2-0 in the final. Sutovsky reached the final by beating Konstantin Sakaev (1.5-0.5) and Dusko Pavasovic (1.5-0.5). Corrections from last week: Beat Zueger - Yukasin (6) Tiviakov - Prusikin (6)

Initially there were 33 qualifiers announced but then this was reduced to 29 as some players had qualified from 2006 including Mikhail Gurevich and Arkadij Naiditsch. 34 non-prequalified players with 7,5 points for 29-7=22 places in the cup, the top 10 by median Buchholz went for free: Volokitin, Gustafsson, Tomashevsky, Almasi, Malakhov, Galkin, Laznicka, Nisipeanu, Nevednichy, Landa. The remaining 24 matched for 12 places. Link: Qualified: Volkov, Vitiugov, Eljanov, Avrukh, Roiz, Iljushin, Motylev, Markus, Tiviakov, Socko, Najer, Gajewski. (info: http://rankzero.de/)
