Gelfand Challenge 2021 (Games and Results)
Gelfand Challenge 2021
Mark Crowther - Monday 14th June 2021
The Gelfand Challenge was the second rapid event of the Baer Challengers Chess Tour played on the Chess24 servers. This 20 player round robin had some of the best young players competing. The time control was 10 minutes plus a 5-second increment. Players: Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Sarin Nihal, R Praggnanandhaa, Awonder Liang, Vincent Keymer, D Gukesh, Leon Luke Mendonca, Jonas Buhl Bjerre, Tingjie Lei, Volodar Murzin, Dinara Saduakassova, Sarasadat Khademalsharieh, Polina Shuvalova, Zhansaya Abdumalik, Jiner Zhu, Christopher Woojin Yoo, Gunay Mammadzada, Carissa Yip, Olga Badelka, Nurgyul Salimova.
D Gukesh just edged out R Praggnanandhaa on tie-break (he beat him in their individual game and Praggnanandhaa failed to beat last place finisher Olga Badelka in the penultimate round). Third placed Vincent Keymer had a lousy final day starting with 0.5/3 before winning a consolation final game.
