Star Mixed Pair International Chengdu 2014
Mark Crowther - Wednesday 9th July 2014
The Star Mixed Pairs International chess tournament took place in Chengdu, China 6th to 9th 2014. This tournament saw 6 pairs of Men and Women play a 6 round all-play-all rapid (unsure of the time control) Teams: 1) Xu, Yuhua:Yu, Shaoteng 2) Maric, Alisa:Ye, Jiangchuan 3) Zhu, Chen:Seirawan, Yasser 4) Liu, Shilan:Xie, Jun 5) Hou Yifan:Short, Nigel D 6) Chiburdanidze, Maia:Jussupow, Artur. Nigel Short and Hou Yifan were favourites to win after being paired together but as Short said afterwards "Basically we blew it yesterday with a collective collapse of concentration against Yasser Seirawan and Zhu Chen, turning a clearly better position into a dead lost one in the space of about two minutes (and half a dozen moves)." They finished 3rd behind the teams of Zhu, Chen/Yasser Seirawan and Xu Yuhua/Yu Shaoteng both finishing on 4/5.
