How I reached 2700 by GM David Howell from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gunnar Bjornsson, Robert Baskin, Carl Fredrik Johansson and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

The main event was the FIDE Online Olympiad and the final stages could not have been more exciting with many close matches. Russia and India were deserved finalists and tied the first half of their match 3-3 with 6 draws. That however is where things really started to go wrong. Just as the second set of matches were reaching their zenith two Indian players lost on time. It turned out there was an outage quite unconnected with the event. In the end it was decided the teams should share the title, a little unsatisfactory to say the least but there were limited options. I think the experience of Carlsen's online series and now this Olympiad shows the need for detailed and fair regulations on this in advance - these outages and disconnections are going to happen, my guess is there should be an automatic replay of the game - it will favour someone no doubt but if in advance there is no telling who it might favour on a particular day. Perhaps a smarter solution is available, but there should be regulations and a resolution.

Magnus Carlsen made an appearance in a new event, the final of the Katara Bullet tournament and duly went on to win that as well as he continues to dominate online chess at practically every time control. In September Carlsen will play online Chess960 and a Rapid and Blitz in events organised by the Saint Louis Chess Club. There has been some over the board chess including the Czech National Championships won by David Navara and the Spanish Championships which got under way today. We're still quite a way from normal chess and I've certainly decided online is the only serious chess I'm likely to get this year. Plenty to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) FIDE Online Olympiad 2020

The FIDE Online Olympiad took place 25th July to 23rd August 2020. The 8 teams that will competed over the final weekend were China, India, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Russia, Bulgaria, USA and Greece. Russia and India reached the final and drew all the games in the first half - in the return half Russia won three games but two of those were affected by an internet issue and it was decided that the two teams should share the title.

3) Katara International Bullet Tournament 2020

Magnus Carlsen won the Katara International Bullet Tournament on Wednesday 26th August 2020. Carlsen was joined by 15 qualifiers on Lichess for the final of this bullet chess (1 minute) tournament sponsored by the Qatari Chess Association. It was a 16 player knockout where there were matches of 12 games. Carlsen beat Rasmus Svane, Rauf Mamedov, then Bullet Legend Andrew "Penguin" Tang (where he lost the first three games, two to dropped pieces due to pre-moves in the opening) before asserting himself and then he beat Daniel Naroditsky in the final. In the final Naroditsky got off to a slow start losing three of the first four games, he was particularly unlucky in game three to find an amazing combination to win Carlsen's Queen only to discover that his Queen could be attacked and taken at the end, something neither player had time to see in advance. Naroditsky then won three in a row to level the match before losing the last three to lose 6.5-3.5. Naroditsky had earlier soundly beaten Alireza Firouzja in the semi-finals. The match was broadcast by Fiona Steil-Antoni on her twitch channel with Alex Astaneh Lopez. The final broadcast is below, the three Arena qualifiers are also available. I now have all the games from this final knockout phase and they all seem to be correct - there is one additional Firouzja-Paravyan than was necessary played and I also included that.
