THE WEEK IN CHESS 852 7th March 2011 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Geoffrey Borg, Emmanuel Variniac, Alexander Prokhorov, Jack Peters, Ankit Gupta, Mitko Iliev, Sean Hewett, Etienne Van Leeuwen, Ciprian Sorin Muntean, Miklos Orso, John Saunders, Nestor Santa Cruz and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 6th FIDE Women's Grand Prix finished in the most exciting manner possible. With two rounds to go it seemed that top seed Humpy Koneru's chances of finishing in first place (as she needed to do, at worst tied with one player) was next to zero. But she managed two wins, the leader Elina Danielian lost in the penultimate round and then let off the badly out of form Stefanova with a drawing variation, and Marie Sebag drew and lost. All a bit rough on Nana Dzagnidze who would have qualified to play Hou Yifan (who won the Grand Prix as a whole with Humpy Koneru taking the necessary second place) for the Women's World Title in a match later in the year (there is nothing organised yet as far as I know). Great times for Indian chess with the potential of two world champions but it should be remember that Koneru doesn't have a very good record against Hou having lost a couple of semi-finals to her. Remember Hou is just 16 and probably has improvement in her too. Elsewhere it has been another packed week of team chess (including the Varsity match), women's chess (three further events), Cappelle-la-Grande finished in a surprise victory for Grzegorz Gajewski. There is also a final qualifier for the US Championships with two places at stake. With some catching up with some of the minor tournaments from the Moscow Open the issue has over 3000 games.

Elite chess returns on Saturday when the 20th and final Amber has its first round. World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand, Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, Vladimir Kramnik, Vasily Ivanchuk, Sergey Karjakin, Veselin Topalov, Hikaru Nakamura, Alexander Grischuk, Vugar Gashinov, Boris Gelfand and Anish Giri is a field worthy of the event. As usual blindfold followed by rapid chess will be played.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 6th FIDE Women Grand Prix 2011

A tension filled final round saw Humpy Koneru survive a lost position against Zhu Chen to beat her and take first (on tie-break from Danielian after both scored 8/11) in the Doha Women's Grand Prix. Earlier long time leader Elina Danielian had to settle for a draw after going down a known line of an Anti-Meran. Marie Sebag did her best to join these two on 8/11 but was never better against Batkhuyag Munguntuul and eventually went too far and lost. This result allowed Koneru to overtake Nana Dzagnidze in the overall Grand Prix standings and thus win a chance to play Hou Yifan in a Women's World Chess Championship match later in the year. Dzagnidze's play looked increasingly distracted towards the end of the event but nevertheless must be bitterly disappointed that a precise series of results for Koneru and her opponents at the top of the standings in Doha cost Dzagnidze her world title shot. Final Grand Prix Standings are also in this article. World Champion Hou Yifan took clear first with 480 points and Humpy Koneru 2nd 468.3.

The first Grand Prix took place in Istanbul 5th-20th March 2009. Top seed Humpy Koneru got off to the perfect start with a win alone with 8.5/11. She was half a point clear of Elina Danielian and Hou Yifan.

The second Grand Prix took place in Nanjing, China 27th September - 10th October 2009. Xu Yuhua took clear first place with 8/11 half a point clear of Nana Dzagnidze.

The 3rd Grand Prix took place in Nalchik, Russia 25th April - 8th May 2010 and saw Tatiana Kosintseva win with 9/11 a point and a half clear of Hou Yifan.

The 4th Grand Prix took place in Jermuk, Armenia 23rd June - 6th July 2010. Nana Dzagnidze won with 9/11 a point and a half clear of Tatiana Kosintseva.

The 5th Grand Prix took place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 29th July - 12th August 2010. Hou Yifan won with 8/11 half a point clear of Antoaneta Stefanova.

The 6th Grand Prix was supposed to take place in Santiago in late 2010, Chile but feel through after an earthquake meant there were other priorities. Doha stepped in and the only question was to find a suitable place in the calendar early in 2011.

7) 129th Varsity Match

This year's Varsity Match between Oxford and Cambridge took place, Saturday 5th March at the RAC Clubhouse on Pall Mall, London, and was once again being generously sponsored by Henry Mutkin. The time control was 2 hours for 40 moves, followed by a 1 hour quickplay finish. GM Amon Simutowe was the top board for Oxford and drew with IM Gabor Pinter. Simutowe doesn't have a March rating as presumably Zimbabwe haven't paid their FIDE dues. Oxford won the match 4.5-3.5. Read John Saunders report on the Varsity Match.
