THE WEEK IN CHESS 851 28th February 2011 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Geoffrey Borg, Emmanuel Variniac, Alexander Prokhorov, David Navara, Christophe Philippe, Holger Lieske, Frank Berry, Mitko Iliev and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 6th FIDE Women's Grand Prix entered its second half as it started the first with plenty of decisive games. The wider context is that this is the final event in the series and winner gets a World Title Match against Hou Yifan. Elina Danielian is in second place and her chances to overtake Yifan seem to have gone but she is already almost assured of second place. Only a big effort from Humpy Koneru can help this. The next week will tell.

If there has been a general contraction in chess it does seem that the various leagues are alive and well. Whilst not as rich as it was it still is the league where the big names are most likely to appear. Baden-Baden the richest club are well on their way to retaining their title yet again. There are also many other league games in this issue including the Indian League which took place this week.

Viswanathan Anand was confirmed as World Number One again as he topped the March FIDE Rating list. Things are still very close amongst Anand, Magnus Carlsen and Levon Aronian and this fight looks set to run and run throughout 2011.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 6th FIDE Women Grand Prix 2011

The 6th FIDE Women's Grand Prix saw a number of surprises in the early rounds. The basic significance of the event is that it is the end of the Grand Prix and the winner will play world chess champion Hou Yifan later in the year for the title. Second place will do if Hou Yifan wins the series, she leads going into the tournament with Nana Dzagnidze holding second place, Tatiana Kosintseva missed the first Grand Prix through playing another event so didn't have a chance of adding to her score. Humpy Koneru also has a chance of qualifying for the match but needs to win in Doha. Instead of these players it was Elina Danielian who started with 5/5 (quick draw in round 6) leaving the field way behind, Dzagnidze started with 2/2 before losing three on the spin, now she will have to rely on her formidable total already built up in other tournaments. Humpy Koneru also had a slow start but is now in fourth, a win in her game against Danielian looks essential.

The first Grand Prix took place in Istanbul 5th-20th March 2009. Top seed Humpy Koneru got off to the perfect start with a win alone with 8.5/11. She was half a point clear of Elina Danielian and Hou Yifan.

The second Grand Prix took place in Nanjing, China 27th September - 10th October 2009. Xu Yuhua took clear first place with 8/11 half a point clear of Nana Dzagnidze.

The 3rd Grand Prix took place in Nalchik, Russia 25th April - 8th May 2010 and saw Tatiana Kosintseva win with 9/11 a point and a half clear of Hou Yifan.

The 4th Grand Prix took place in Jermuk, Armenia 23rd June - 6th July 2010. Nana Dzagnidze won with 9/11 a point and a half clear of Tatiana Kosintseva.

The 5th Grand Prix took place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 29th July - 12th August 2010. Hou Yifan won with 8/11 half a point clear of Antoaneta Stefanova.

The 6th Grand Prix was supposed to take place in Santiago in late 2010, Chile but feel through after an earthquake meant there were other priorities. Doha stepped in and the only question was to find a suitable place in the calendar early in 2011.

4) 3rd Batavia Grolsch 2011

The 3rd Batavia-Grolsch tournament took place 18th - 27th February 2011. A mixture of experience and Dutch juniors compete in the Batavia cafe in Amsterdam. It was however a last minute replacement, Gerald Hertneck who was brought in when Dibyendu Barua felt ill. He started with 4.5/5 before drawing his way to clear first place with 6.5/9. He was half a point clear of Robin Van Kampen who has had some tough tournaments recently.

7) 25th Cannes Open

The 25th Cannes Open took place Mon 21st Feb 2011 - Sun 27th Feb 2011. Joseph Sanchez took clear first place with 7/9. in the main section (called Pierre & Vacances). It seemed very odd that the conclusion to this event overlapped with the start of the Cappelle-la-Grande open, usually things are much more coordinated than that. Only a very tiny number of games from the open are available. Anatoly Vaisser took on Viktor Korchnoi in a legends match with two standard time-rate games and then a day with two rapid and 4 blitz games. All three phases were drawn with the players drawing both standard games, swapping victories in the rapid and then exchanging wins at the start of the blitz before two draws.

31) World Champion Anand back as Number One in March FIDE Rating List

World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand returned to World Number One over-taking Magnus Carlsen after a superior result in the Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee tournament. At 2817 Anand is two points ahead of Carlsen. Levon Aronian is in 3rd place with a rating of 2808. These tiny differences mean that any time these three play there can be changes in the ranking at the top. Vladimir Kramnik remains in fourth.

Vassily Ivanchuk returns to the top 5 in the world after his destruction of the Gilbraltar Masters field with a rating of 2779, Sergey Karjakin, Veselin Topalov, Hikaru Nakamura and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov are all rated between 2772 and 2776 so movement here is likely.

Surprisingly there is a slight fall, 2649 last time, to 2647 this, to actually be in the top 100.
