THE WEEK IN CHESS 925 30th July 2012 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Michael Nielsen, Frank Berry, Adolivio Capece, Jack Peters, Sergey Abramov, Oscar de la Riva Aguado, Michael Kopylov, Holger Lieske, Paulo Rocha and everyone else who helped with the issue.

I hear comments sometimes that many major chess websites are "Magnus Carlsen fanboys". However there is no doubt in my mind that Carlsen is the new big beast in the jungle to compare with Kasparov and Karpov in the past. He is the standard by which all other chess players are currently measured. Carlsen and Levon Aronian are the very best reasons to feel glad to be following top chess right now. The fact he achieves his results by moves he finds over the board as opposed to home/computer preparation makes his games all the more entertaining (some players ideal seems to be to play all their games without having to find anything of their own over the board, the days that all results are achieved in this way is the day when top class professional chess dies, although good preparation clearly has a place in the game, far too many players research their way to killing all interesting play in the game, especially with black, in other words they don't back their actual chess skill against their opposition and want to settle things without ever having to think). Today Carlsen beat Wang Hao from a position where a draw was the most likely result. Elsewhere there was much more summer chess with many interesting players.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 45th Biel International Chess Festival 2012

The Biel Chess Festival takes place from 23rd July to 2nd August. Magnus Carlsen returned to defend the title he won last year. Alexander Morozevich also returned to an event where he has seen much success but he lost his first two games and then became so ill he was forced to withdraw and Viktor Bologan stepped in to play the games he was supposed to play. Hikaru Nakamura, Wang Hao, Etienne Bacrot and Anish Giri are the other players in this 6 player 10 round Double Round Robin. The blitz KO tournament was won by Hikaru Nakamura who beat Etienne Bacrot in the final. Bacrot eliminated Carlsen in the first round. Below are the standings and games. The official site has plenty of coverage including live commentary, videos and reports. I have not had the time to devote to doing some of my own reports as I would like to have done. Will be tweeting bits and pieces of news to the end now. Magnus Carlsen beat leader Wang Hao to join him on 13 points. The game looked like it should finish in a draw but yet again Carlsen played wonderfully in a simplified position.

7) 30th Andorra Open

The 30th Andorra Open took place in Erts-La Massana 21st-29th July 2012. Jon Ludvig Hammer took the title on tie-break ahead of last year's winner Kiril Geogiev, Miguel Illescas Cordoba and Julen Luis Arizmendi Martinez after all scored 7/9. Hammer won a large trophy and wondered how much it would cost to transport on Ryan Air. Local resident David Norwood scored a respectable 6/9.

18) 24th Southern California Ch 2012

Jack Peters reports that he and 15-year old Varun Krishnan tied for first place in the 24th annual Southern California Championship, held on the weekends of July 14-15 and July 28-19 in Monterey Park, a suburb of Los Angeles. Peters was pleased to win but says the most important news is that the sponsoring Southern California Chess Federation announced that this will be the last state invitational championship because they cannot afford to run a tournament with a prize fund of $2,300.

30) Russian Team vs Russian Fans Correspondence Match

To Celebrate the 175th Anniversary of a match between Alexander Petrov and three St. Petersburg chess players in consultation there was a match between the Russian Chess team and their fans who could sign up online. Peter Svidler, Alexander Grischuk, Sergey Karjakin and Evgeny Tomashevsky make up the Russian side. The Russian team played a rather dubious continuation which Svidler suggested as giving the game character. The fans soon took a draw by repetition.

38) 2nd Science Park Amsterdam Chess Tournament 2012

The ACP Golden Classic was won by Vassily Ivanchuk with a score of 5/6 undefeated. He beat Anna Muzychuk who nevertheless finished on 50% for an excellent result. Gata Kamsky beat the luckless Jobava Baadur and Le Quang Liem drew with Emil Sutovsky in an excellent final round. The games of the event weren't rated. The event saw adjournments at move 40 for the first time in many years at the top level but it was the extra half hour of thinking time to move 40 that probably made the most difference to the quality of the games.

Somehow I missed putting in the Round 3 game Muzychuk-Jobava in a couple of weeks ago.
