THE WEEK IN CHESS 926 6th August 2012 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Michael Kopylov, Holger Lieske, Paulo Rocha, John Saunders, Manfred Mussnig, Hans Groffen, IVan Kocovski, Matiss Silis, Emmanuel Variniac, Eirik T. Gullaksen, Ivan Kocovski and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The summer season is upon us. Hopefully I've managed to find the best events but this is by no means complete. Wang Hao won the Biel Chess Festival which was scored on 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. Magnus Carlsen would have won under the standard scoring system. It's nice that Wang won, he could do with the profile and the reinvitation but Carlsen gained more rating points and played the most impressive chess. The Russian Championship has many stars but they haven't been doing much winning so far. The World Juniors which is by far and away the most prestigious event for young players is under way. Locally the British Chess Championships was won by Gawain Jones but Stephen Gordon had a half point lead going into the final round and then failed to convert a huge advantage in the first game of the playoff when Jones dropped his queen and even went on to lose the game. Not surprisingly Jones won game 2 also. All this and much much more.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 45th Biel International Chess Festival 2012

The Biel Chess Festival took place from 23rd July to 2nd August 2023. Wang Hao took clear first place with 19 points a point clear of Magnus Carlsen (3 points for a win and 1 for a draw). Wang had a fantastic tournament with 6 wins and just 1 draw and a huge increase in rating. Carlsen also gained rating points and would have won the event with 7/10 on the old scoring system. I guess he won't see it as much of a failure. Hikaru Nakamura and Anish Giri finished on 16 points and gained too. The event was somewhere between bad and catastrophic for Bacrot and Bologan. However it is Morozevich's withdrawal after losses in the first two rounds that may have the most effect. You have to worry for his future in chess. Magnus Carlsen had returned to defend the title he won last year.
