How I reached 2700 by GM David Howell from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, John Hartmann, David Navara, Robert Baskin, Sandro Leonori, Mikhail Golubev, and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen won the Legends of Chess tournament final against Ian Nepomniachtchi meaning that he won three of the four qualifiers on his tour. Very quickly they moved on to the final where he was joined by Daniil Dubov who won the Lindores Abbey event and the best other scorers on the tour Hikaru Nakamura and Ding Liren. Carlsen then proceeded to lose a mini-match to Ding for the second time on the tour but the semi-final is over 5 such matches and today he emphatically struck back to level the match. Meanwhile Nakamura has one foot in the final after taking a 2-0 lead against Dubov, he only needs to win one of the next three mini-matches to progress. Elsewhere chess continues both over the board and online producing a rather large issue this week.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Legends of Chess 2020

The Legends of Chess was the final online qualifier for the Magnus Carlsen tour final in August and took place July 21st to August 5th 2020. The event returned to the Match Round Robin format they used in the first Magnus Carlsen Invitational. That is there were 10 players and they played a one day match against each of their rivals for a point in the standing. The Legends name was translated into inviting former world chess champions Viswanthan Anand, Vladimir Kramnik, former championship challengers Peter Leko and Boris Gelfand along with 8 time Russian Champion Peter Svidler and Vasyl Ivanchuk. Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri, Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren qualified as the top four finishers in the Chessable Masters.

In the knockout phase Magnus Carlsen made easy work of Peter Svidler winning 2.5-0.5 twice. Ian Nepomniachtchi won the first and third sets while being beaten in the second set by Anish Giri. In the final Carlsen won 2-0 against Nepomniachtchi.

16) Open Championship of Odessa Region 2020

The Superfinal of the Odessa Region Open Chess Championship took place on July 27 - August 4, 2020, it was convincingly and surprisingly won by FM Georgiy Sodol, who scored +7 =2 and made his first GM-norm. FM Alexey Kukelko made an IM-Norm.

Among 10 participants, there were 6 GMs, albeit all under 2500 currently. The tournament was sponsored by Bank Vostok and devoted to the memory of the most famous Odessa grandmaster, Efim Geller (1925-1988).

Games of the Odessa Region open championship Supefinal are provided by the chief arbiter, Valentin Bogdanov. Note that, as it was in 2018 and 2019, grandmaster Nikolay Legky played in a tournament on a condition that his games will not be published by organisers.

Two previous editions of the Odessa Region championship were won by grandmaster Stanislav Bogdanovich who, together with his girlfriend Alexandra Vernigora, tragically died while visiting Moscow earlier this year.

20) Summer Chess Pardubice 2020

The Summer Chess Pardubice Festival took place 29th July to 1st August 2020. The main events were two matches between David Navara and Peter Michalik (Michalik won the Classical section but lost the rapid and blitz) and Viktor Laznicka and Thai Dai Van Nguyen (Classical tied, Laznicka won the rapid and Nguyen the blitz). There was also a final blitz event, a Czech Legends event and a simul format. I processed the Simul event games and also there was a correction of one of David Navara's games which I did eventually correct in TWIC but I give that again too.

21) Titled Tuesday Blitz 4th Aug 2020

There were two back to balc Titled Tuesday events on 4th August to make up for the technical failure last week.

Full marks to Haik M. Martirosyan for finishing second in both swisses but it was David Anton and Parham Maghsoodloo who won the two events. I've labeled the events 10am and 2pm as that's what they were originally scheduled for (Pacific Time) but I'm not sure the second one at least started at that time. 875 entered the first 10am event but attrition saw only 353 enter the second.

23) PNWCC Bullet (1+1) Championship 2020

The PNWCC Bullet Championship was supposed to be a Swiss but ended up being an Arena event. I don't normally cover bullet chess but this was supposed to be easy to process - it didn't quite turn out that way but anyhow Vladimir Fedoseev on 42 points won by a point from Minh Le from Vietnam and Raunak sadhwani of India.

24) TJ Spartak Vlasim A vs Navara Simul 2020

25) FIDE Online Olympiad 2020

The FIDE Online Olympiad takes place 25th July to 23rd August 2020. There will be various qualifiers until the leading teams start to complete at a much later stage. The format seemed overly complicated to me but the documentation starting with the Base Leagues in this issue seems like it will be excellent. The Base League, Fourth league and now the Thrid Division are completed with the top finishers moving on to the next stage.
