1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Jack Peters and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The period straight after Christmas is one of the busiest for opens and this issue reflects that. Of interest was Shirov's appearance in Zurich and Bacrot's in Geneva. The Groningen Open was won by Zaven Andriasian, Alexander Kovchan and Sipke Ernst. Right now the Hastings Masters continues. One of the most interesting events of the week was the Piterenka Rapid/Blitz tournament which was a one day rapid and blitz exhibtion event eventually won by Sergey Karjakin after an Armageddon Blitz game with no increment. The course of the game was simple, Grischuk got a huge position, started winning lots and lots of material but both players had no real time left and he eventually allowed stalemate and as he was white lost the playoff. It seems that a friendly event ended in a way that some of the players thought wasn't so friendly. Even if the video showed the players managing very well with virtually no time it seems to me the modern player doesn't like games ending this way.

Many years ago at the Leeds rapidplay I saw an English GM play for money against a strong untitled player at blitz. The clocks were adjusted down if the GM won so he could start the game with as little as 1 minute vs 5 for his opponent. The only thing that really counted was flag fall especially when down to the last few seconds. Shock moves that make no sense, moving pieces close to the clock etc, the full art of blitz chess for money. It is all a balance between position on the board and position on the clock. With the advent of the increment this knowledge is being lost. I think it is very rarely necessary to have such sudden death games. Pairs of blitz games until there is a finish at the already too fast time control of 3 minutes plus 2 seconds a move is surely the way to go if you want the result to have something to do with chess played on the board (although I think the extensive use of this time control recently has shown that it too doesn't lead to all that good a standard of chess). On the other hand maybe the knowledge on how to play non-increment blitz should be saved.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year and prosperous 2013.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Piterenka Rapid/Blitz 2012

The Piterenka Rapid/Blitz tournament was a very strong one day tournament with Sergey Karjakin, Alexander Grischuk, Ian Nepomniachtchi and Dmitry Jakovenko. There were two parts Rapid 10 minutes + 5 seconds per move and Blitz: 3 minutes + 2 seconds per move. Rapid: Karjakin, Grischuk 4, Nepomniatchtchi 3, Jakovenko 1. Blitz Grischuk, Nepomniatchtchi, Karjakin 3.5/6 Jakovenko 1.5. Thus Grischuk and Karjakin tied for first. In an amazing conclusion to the blitz armageddon final game Grischuk had an overwhelming advantage of two rooks and three pawns up vs rook but allowed stalemate. Many, many moves were played in the final seconds of the game (Grischuk had 5 mins to start (but had to win) and Karjakin 4 no increment). At the end Grischuk had two seconds left, Karjakin one but it was stalemate. You can see the video below. Karjakin thus won land in the Piterenka holiday village in Moscow that sponsored the event.

4) World Cities Team Championship 2012

The World Cities Championship took place 22nd-28th December 2012. Leading players: Tomashevsky, Giri, Vachier, Moiseenko, Fressinet, Wang Yue, Short, Edouard, Kryvoruchko, Ivan Sokolov, Tiviakov etc. Initially 6 groups of 4 teams play 3 rounds to produce teams for the final knock-out phase with 16 teams. Hoogeveen beat Tashkent 2.5-1.5 in the final thanks to a win from Sergei Tiviakov. Novi Sad drew 2-2 with Tashkent in the 3rd-4th playoff, I presume Novi Sad's win on top board meant they finished 3rd on tie-break. Romain Edouard edged out Maxime Vachier-Lagrave on tie-break after both finished on 7/9.

36) Chinese League 2012

The Chinese league was a marathon event over 22 rounds. Rounds: Beijing 28th Apr - May 1st, Taizhou 27th-29th June, Shanghai 11th-13th July (turned out to be Tianjin), Shenzhen 14th-17th Sept, Hangzhou 6th-9th October and finally Danzhou 21st-24th Dec 2012. (info http://blog.sina.com.cn/chessnews). Shanghai Jianqiao Academy Team took the title.

I'm hoping an archive of games turns up still, if anyone sees games from the final rounds let me know.
