5th World Blitz (Concluded)
World Blitz Mini-Site 2009
Mark Crowther - Wednesday 18th November 2009
The World Blitz Championship took place in Moscow following the Tal Memorial. 22 players competed in a 42 round event. Dates: 16th-18th November 2009.
Magnus Carlsen lead by two and a half points with just four rounds to go after beating Viswanathan Anand in Round 38 and wrapped up the title a couple of rounds later. Anand was well clear in second place.
It was great to see most of the best players in the World competing in the World Blitz Championship in Moscow. The tournament was part of the Tal Memorial. In winning the tournament Magnus Carlsen joins a fairly illustrious group of players who have won such tournaments in the past. For the most part World Champions also do well as blitz players.
The first World Blitz Champion according to wikipedia was Garry Kasparov who won the Brussels blitz in 1987. In the Saint John World Chess Festival the following year Kasparov was eliminated in the quarter finals of a knockout in part after he stalemated Kiril Georgiev in a Queen and King vs King ending. Mikhail Tal eventually emerged as champion.
The next world event took place in Warsaw in 2000 and Viswanathan Anand emerged as the winner.
The current sequence of World Blitz Championships started in 2006 with Alexander Grischuk winning in Rishon Lezion, Israel (somehow they managed to record all the games perfectly for posterity).
Vassily Ivanchuk won the World Blitz in Moscow in 2007. In 2008 Leinier DomÃnguez Perez won in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Before these tournaments, the most famous, one might even say legendary, blitz tournament was that held in Herceg Novi, 1970 following "The Match of the Century" and together form the start of Fischer's domination that ended in him becoming world champion. Before that event it was generally held that Tigran Petrosian was the best blitz player (the players used to play each other at blitz in informal games during tournaments and I think there was an annual Moscow blitz event where many of the great Soviet players competed), with Mikhail Tal and Viktor Korchnoi not far behind. However Bobby Fischer dominated the tournament winning with a +17 =4 -1 score. The games of Fischer were fortunately recorded by hand by people watching his games. Fischer was 4.5 points clear of Mikhail Tal. (Players: Fischer, Tal, Korchnoi, Petrosian, Bronstein, Hort, Matulovich, Smyslov, Reshevsky, Uhlmann, Ivkov, and Ostojic.)
The Wijk aan Zee tournament traditionally held a blitz tournament as part of their festival. I think the last of those was 10 years ago in 1999 and that was won by Garry Kasparov.
The blitz chess time control in most of these events was 5 minutes for the entire game. I still think this is the best time control. In Moscow it was 3 minutes + 2 seconds a move. I think increments are a bit wet in this form of chess.
