Arkell's Endings from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Lennart Ootes, Simon McNamara, Ehud Lahav, Jan Jilek and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Alireza Firouzja emerged as the winner of the FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament in Riga. A fine result of 8/11 included him bouncing back straight away from a loss to Fabiano Caruana in Round 9 with a win over David Howell in Round 10. This is obviously Firouzja's best result of his career so far and it confirms the promise of the 18 year old. Perhaps equally important was Caruana's second place that also qualifies him for the Candidates next year, his recent form hasn't been the best but this result will allow him to get back on track.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament 2021

The FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament took place in Riga 25th October to 8th November. Alireza Firouzja qualified for the Candidates by winning the event with 8/11 - he lost one game to second placed Fabiano Caruana who also qualifies. Lei Tingjie won the women's event with a round to spare. There was a Lindores Abbey Tal Memorial the day after the final round celebrating Tal's 85th year. Kirill Shevchenko took clear first.
