THE WEEK IN CHESS 854 21st March 2011 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Alexander Prokhorov, Mitko Iliev, Piotr Kaim, Miklos Orso, Dave Clayton and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 20th and final Amber tournament looks like it will be a battle between Levon Aronian and Magnus Carlsen (half a point back) for first, three points off the lead are two legends of the event Viswanathan Anand and Vassily Ivanchuk (who overcame a terrible start to play some of the very best chess in the event) probably too bigger gap for both Aronian and Carlsen to come back to. It is certainly the moment to thank Joop van Oosterom for his sponsorship of the many events he has over the years. We should be in for a terrific finish.

The French Chess Federation has suspended GMs Sebastien Feller and Arnaud Hauchard and IM Cyril Marzolo after finding them "guilty of a violation of sporting ethics". In essence the French Chess Federation found that Sebastien Feller received computer advice via text message during the Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk.

You can read about it here: ChessVibes Report in English, French Chess Federation PDF and Europe-Echecs Report in French and ChessBase. The case is complicated by the fact that the text messages themselves were not allowed as evidence due to legal reasons but may be in higher courts.

I haven't said much about this because even now this case could easily go through several further legal processes before finally being concluded (indeed Feller's lawyer says they intend to appeal and that he still denies the allegations).

Speaking now in general the worsening financial climate, increasing power of computers (and computer engines) and the miniturisation of mobile technology add up to both temptation and ability to cheat at chess at almost any level. I don't believe the accusations against various elite players that were made in recent years but it is absolutely clear that competitive chess as a whole is under threat.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Amber Blindfold and Rapid tournament 2011

The 20th Amber tournament has had its usual mixture of thrilling chess and terrible blunders. The first place battle now seems to be between Levon Aronian and Magnus Carlsen although World Champion Viswanthan Anand and Vassily Ivanchuk could still make a move. Former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik is having a miserable time and is in last place.

Top seed Luke McShane was in 7th half a point further behind leading the group of players on that score. Paul Frigge and Patrek Maron Magnusson did a great job in entering the games.

The events vary wildly in strength, the last was Category III and started January 7th running until March 4th 2011. My thanks to Piotr Kaim for the news.

7) Chinese World Teams Selection Tournament

The Chinese held an 8 player double round robin event to select a player for their squad for the World Team Championships later in the year. Yu Yangyi won the tournament. I couldn't find any games but Chinese isn't a strong point of mine.

8) FIDE Chinese Zonal 3.5

The Chinese Zonal is just part of an explosion of activity in China around this time. This followed an 8 player event to select a player for their World Team Championships side and will be followed, if I understand correctly by the Chinese Championships. The zonal takes place in Tianjing, China and contains only Chinese players including rather surprisingly to me, a number of unrated players. I don't know where a full file of games might be found but there are a small number of games from both groups being broadcast each round.

9) First Saturday March 2011

There were GM, IM and three FM Groups in Budapest as part of the First Saturday March events. Kevin Goh Wei Ming and Levente Vajda finished on 6.5/9 in the GM group. I give all the games again because I got a bit lost as to what corrections I made to results to get the games to match the final tables.

29) Bunratty Chess Festival 2011

The Bunratty Chess Festival rightly has the reputation as an enjoyable chess event. It took place over the weekend of Fri 25th Feb 2011 - Sun 27th Feb 2011. Gawain Jones took clear first place with 5/6 half a point clear of Tony Kosten and Ryan-Rhys Griffiths. Top seed Nigel Short was a further half point back having been defeated by the winner. There are just a couple of games available at the moment. The remaining games should become available later in the month.
