THE WEEK IN CHESS 908 2nd April 2012 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Alexander Prokhorov, Roland Wimmer, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Dave Clayton, Jan Mazuch, Frank Berry, Miklos Orso, Pavel Matocha and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The 13th European Individual Championship concluded with Dmitry Jakovenko beating Laurent Fressinet to take the title. Right now the Chinese and Danish Championships have started. The Russian Team Championships in Sochi are set to be very strong (Team Listings in Russian) and they take place April 8th-16th. The Kramnik - Aronian match in Switzerland will take place at the end of the month. Plenty of high quality chess to come. There has been an announcement that the Linares tournament will not take place however.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) European Individuals 2012

The 13th European Individual Championship took place in Plovdiv, Bulgaria from Tuesday 20th March - Saturday 31st March 2012 Dmitry Jakovenko trailed Laurent Fressinet by a half point going into the final round but beat him to take the title with 8.5/11. The other top boards finished in draws and so Fressinet at least held on to 2nd on 8 points on tie-break from 13 others on the same score.

3) Chinese Championships 2012

The Chinese Championships take place 27th March - 7th April 2012. Defending Champion Liren Ding leads on 5/6. Women's World Champions Hou Yifan has had a harder time of it. I'm missing the game Jianchao Zhou 1/2 Bu Xiangzhi which was probably played on the rest day.

19) 10th Annual Oklahoma-Texas Match 2012

The 10th Annual Oklahoma-Texas Match was held on March 25, 2012. It has been held the last few years at a casino 55 miles North of the Red River that divides Oklahoma and Texas. This location is equidistant between Oklahoma City / Tulsa in Oklahoma and the two major cities in Northern Texas - Ft Worth / Dallas. With this recent victory Texas now leads the series 8 wins to 2. Players enjoy competing on a team in a different format than the usual swiss system events. My thanks to IA Frank Berry for this report.
