THE WEEK IN CHESS 916 28th May 2012 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction
My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Alexander Prokhorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Jeroen van den Berg, Zbigniew Pyda, Omar Salama,
Varlam Vepkhvishvili, Paulo Rocha, James Alvis Tafur, Sean Hewitt and everyone else who helped with the issue.
The World Chess Championships finished in a 6-6 tie between Viswanathan Anand and Boris Gelfand. There will be a rapid playoff of
four games which hopefully should decided it, if not then they go to blitz. The time for post-mortems will be after the match
but I hope they don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in completely changing the regulations for future matches. Whilst
there have been some interesting moments the over-all feel has been slightly underwhelming with the average number of
moves per game being 29. The players are too close in strength and too similar in style. Anand in particular it seems is
in decline losing quite a bit of his punching power but not much of his defensive ability. Gelfand has done well, perhaps
better than Anand but he too seems to lack the power score full points, particularly he should have made more of a big advantage
in game 9. The new generation of players are pretty exciting and probably a rule banning the offering of draws and an extra
couple of games would be a very positive changes for the next match one of them is surely going to qualify for.
As for the Russian Video coverage with its expert commentators (Kramnik, Svidler and Leko amongst others) in Russian and English
and it's excellent host New in Chess' Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam (for the English broadcast, I couldn't say anything about Smirin for the
Russian) was pretty much perfect. Daily detailed coverage on TWIC. Just one day to go, Wednesday. I just hope it doesn't reach the blitz.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

Chinese League 2012
The marathon Chinese League takes place 28th April to 9th October 2012. First four rounds took place in Beijing. Rounds 4-7 27th-30th June 2012.
It seems we can't believe the dates on chess-results for the Chinese League as a fourth round of games were played. This is a very tricky
league to cover at the best of times without the only reliable English source of information being so wrong.
