THE WEEK IN CHESS 839 6th December 2010 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luis Blasco de la Cruz, Dave Clayton, Wolfgang Evers, Anuta Laurentiu, Mikhail Golubev, Yuri Vovk, Michael Kopylov, Holger Lieske, and everyone else who helped with the issue.

A little bit of a quieter week. The Women's World Championships have started in Antakya (also known as Hatay apparently) and will run until Christmas. One can't help feeling, just like with the men, this knockout is a format unworthy of the importance of the title. Nevertheless I think that women's chess (especially through their Grand Prix) has done a very good job of promoting its stars recently and this should be a good show. Defending Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk, top seed Humpy Koneru and losing 2008 finalist Hou Yifan all made it through to round 2 with 2-0 wins. The biggest casualty of the first round was number 8 seed Pia Cramling.

This issue is out early as I will be traveling down to London early tomorrow for the start of the London Chess Classic whose first round is on Wednesday. Should be great.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

3) World Chess Championship Women 2010

The Women's World Chess Championships run up until Christmas. Using the same format as the old FIDE format for the men it suffers the same problems of overly short 2 game matches followed by rapid/blitz playoffs until the final. Nevertheless these are very tough tournaments and the winner will certainly have achieved a great deal in just surviving.

A number of the games from the Frauenbundesliga in Baden-Baden were broadcast live this weekend. The results are reported at the German Chess Federation website but I could not find an archive of the games nor a full team list. I seem to remember that these were available somewhere last year but a google search didn't reveal it to me. I will wait for these to become available.

23) Moscow Student Teams 2010

The Moscow Student Teams took place 7th-30th November. A seven round all-play-all section was finished off with semi-finals and finals on the 28th and 30th November. Sergey Karjakin played in this final phase. Sadly these games are poorly documented and I could not really establish what was going on or who played for which team, but could more or less find all the players in the rating list. The earlier games in the group stages are also available but I really couldn't establish for certain who many of the players were so couldn't publish them. A shame really.

28) 46th American Open 2010

The 46th American Open took place in Los Angeles 25th-28th November 2010. Josh Friedel took first place on tie-break from Enrico Sevillano and Melikset Khachiyan after all finished on 6/8. A tiny number of games appeared in an article on the USCF website, I couldn't find anymore anywhere else.
