THE WEEK IN CHESS 927 13th August 2012 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Jakub Fuksik, Istvan Brindza, Chris Ross, Frits Agterdenbos, Hans Groffen, Harald Grafenhofer, Ivan Kocovski, Marco A. Zumbado and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 65th Russian Chess Championship saw Dmitry Andreikin win the title after a rapid playoff with 6 other players. Defending champion Peter Svidler had a difficult tournament before beating his friend Alexander Grishuk in the final round and forcing his way into the mix. His loss to Andreikin with white was decisive in the end had he won he would have secured an unlikely retention of his title. Suat Atalik's battle with Ali Nihat Yazici where the Turkish Chess Federation are attempting to ban him on the grounds he won't sign a gagging order preventing him criticising them is going to be a battle that goes to the FIDE Congress. Federations have no place interfering in the professional chess a battle that goes back at least as far as Viktor Korchnoi's defection in the 1970s. No Sebastien Feller in the French Championship thank goodness. I have not seen any denial from him that he cheated only an attempt to get all the evidence thrown out. Olympic sports demand the right to protect themselves from cheating, chess absolutely cannot have players using communication devices to receive advice and needs to have access to those devices to prove this. This is much less intrusive than drug testing on major athletes. Another thing for the FIDE Congress, but in this case FIDE whilst acting slowing have got it right. Feller can go to CAS if he wants, the proper forum for this debate. It would have been intolerable to see him play an Olympiad without them ruling on this. I reported on the finish to the Biel Chess tournament only last week. The chess world is in shock that the organiser Olivier Breisacher drowned on holiday in Mallorca. I only knew him by email but he was always helpful, a fighter for the Biel tournament and this year's coverage was better than ever. He really will be missed and I know the community of chess journalists is very sad about his passing. There is also news that Alexander Morozevich has been replaced by Evgeny Tomashevsky because he is still ill. We don't know what is wrong with him, all I'd say is I hope he gets better because on form he is a truly great player.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 65th ch-RUS Superfinal 2012

The 65th Russian Chess Championships took place in Moscow 3rd to 13th August 2012. Defending Champion Peter Svidler, Alexander Grischuk and Sergey Karjakin were the favourites. The field became crunched following wins for Grischuk and Karjakin in Round 7. Then in the final round Peter Svidler played by far and away his best game defeating Alexander Grischuk setting up a 6 way playoff for the title. Sergey Karjakin, Peter Svidler, Dmitry Jakovenko, Dmitry Andreikin, Evgeny Alekseev and Vladimir Potkin were in the rapid play-off 15 minutes plus 10 seconds per move. Dmitry Andreikin won the title with a score of 4/5 in the rapid playoff. Natalija Pogonina won the women's event by a point from Valentina Gunina.

5) Atalik vs Atalik Match

Suat Atalik continued his battle against the Turkish Chess Federation by playing a match against his wife in Halkidiki as recompense for getting the tournament caught up in his increasingly bitter dispute that is sure to come to a head during the Olympiad. The fact is that National Federations should have no control over their players and if a player breaks the rules as Feller did (Atalik's dispute is basically nothing to do with chess) it should be FIDE that does the punishing. What the Turkish Federation is trying on is feudalism at it's worst. Atalik further challenged the situation by playing the Vienna Open.

Atalik says: "the first wife and husband match organised took place in Halkida,Greece between the days 7-9/August/2012.The normal time control games with 90'+30'' per move increment won by GM Suat Atalik 2-0, followed by rapid games with 15'+10'' also won by GM Suat Atalik by 3,5-0,5.However the in the blitz match IM(WGM) Ekaterina Atalik kept the balance and this section ended up 4-4.So overall Suat Atalik 9,5-Ekaterina Atalik 4,5.The match is organised by Chalkida Chess Academy and Giorgios Tsounis and the arbiter is IA Anestis Mihailidis,the games were not rated." The blitz match time control was 3 minutes plus 2 seconds per move.

6) French Championships 2012

The French Championships 2012 take place 13th to 25th August 2012. After his FIDE ban for cheating Sebastien Feller is reported to have tried to still force himself into the championship through legal action. Thank goodness he failed, I wish he'd just go away.
