THE WEEK IN CHESS 844 10th January 2011 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luis Blasco de la Cruz, Chris Bird, Christophe Philippe, Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam, Georgy Pilavov, Dragan Babic, Marek Kolk, Peter Sadilek, Mitko Iliev and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The change to the New Year is definitely over with Reggio Emilia won by Vugar Gashimov over Francisco Vallejo Pons after they tied on 6/9. Hastings too is also over with Deep Sengupta edging out Arghyadip Das. There was also a couple of surprise events with little advance publicity. The Keres Memorial was won by Alexei Shirov in Tallinn and Sergey Karjakin's win over Ian Nepomniachtchi in their University Championships. Saturday sees the start of the Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee tournament. Most of the top players in the World are present and there is a high degree of probability that there will be changes amongst the top three in the world (Carlsen, Anand and Aronian) as they are all playing and so close in rating. A lot to look forward to.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 53rd Reggio Emilia 2010-11

Two quick draws in the final round involving the leaders settled the fate of the Reggio Emilia tournament. Both Vugar Gashimov and Francisco Vallejo Pons had the black pieces and equalised easily enough. They both scored 6/9 but the Sonneborn-Berger tie-break favoured Gashimov mostly by virtue of his victory over Vallejo. Movsesian, Navara and Ivanchuk scored 5/9. The returning Alexander Morozevich was defeated by Ivanchuk for a final score of 4/9. Nigel Short lost to Navara and finished on 3.5/9.

5) ch-RSCU 2011

Sergey Karjakin got a small measure of revenge by beating Ian Nepomniachtchi in a two game rapid (25 minutes) and four game blitz (not stated) match after a final Armageddon (6m-5m) playoff. The pair played off for the Russian Championships in December and in a reversal of positions Nepomniachtchi was the one to mess up a winning position with white and lose the match in the final game with a draw in this format. This was for the title of Russian State Social University (RSCU).
