THE WEEK IN CHESS 841 20th December 2010 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luis Blasco de la Cruz, Dave Clayton, Yuri Vovk, Dragan Babic, Jack Peters, Mitko Iliev, Jovan Petronic, Stanislaw Zawadzki, Michael Kopylov, Holger Lieske, Miklos Orso, Douglas Griffin, Tim Dickinson, Martin Matthiesen, Ivan Kocovski, Daniel Mueller, Georgios Souleidis and everyone else who helped with the issue.

Magnus Carlsen won the London Chess Classic after winning four games, losing two and drawing just one. He won alone as the system of three points for a win and one for a draw was used. A conventional scoring system with Sonneborn-Berger tie-break would have relegated him to third place behind World Champion Viswanathan Anand and Luke McShane, however a different tie-break of number of wins would have seen him in first again. Carlsen turned 20 on November 30th and wasn't quite at his best, but mostly it is due to some real experimentation and over-aggression with black. I think it true to say that he still regards himself as work in progress, he doesn't really seem to try and maximise his results. It shows great self-belief to take the long view. World Champion Anand also could regard himself as a bit unlucky. He almost won a couple more games and looked in good form. Luke McShane is 26 and still finding his way back after returning to the professional circuit just over a year ago. He has just entered the top 100 again and he is clearly on the move up. Top 25 or better is within his reach. Elsewhere there was the European Blitz and Rapidplay with many strong players. I doubt the blitz section games are up to much but the rapid section games seemed pretty to be accurately broadcast online. Seasonal Greetings to Everyone.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) 2nd London Chess Classic

Magnus Carlsen defended his London Chess Classic title with a very easy win against Nigel Short. World Champion Viswanathan Anand shared second with Luke McShane as they had exactly the same tie-break. Hikaru Nakamura took fourth place by virtue of his win against Vladimir Kramnik who also finished on the same score.

The European Rapid and Blitz Championships took place in Warsaw 18th-19th December 2010. The European Blitz Championship took place in Warsaw on December 17th 2010. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave won ahead of Vassily Ivanchuk, there were 13 double rounds, there are some games, not sure what the quality is like. The Rapid Championships saw 6 players tie on 10.5/13. There was a quick blitz playoff (The rate of play in tie-breaks was 5 minutes for white and 4 minutes for black for a game, with an increment of 1 second per move and with draw odds for black. Just one game each round.). Vasily Ivanchuk beat Alexei Shirov in the 3rd-4th playoff. Zoltan Almasi defeated Vugar Gashimov after a wildly fluctuating game in which he was winning, losing and then finally winning again to take the title.
