Politiken Cup 2010
Mark Crowther - Tuesday 10th August 2010
The Politiken Cup took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, 31st July - 8th August 2010. Actually to be strictly accurate the venue is in Helsingor (Elsinore), 40 kms north of Copenhagen which I will try and remember for the PGN files next year.
The favourite in the main Open was Pavel Eljanov and he won with 8.5/10, half a point clear of the field. There was a celebration of the 75th year of Bent Larsen. Peter Svidler and Peter Heine Nielsen played a 6 game rapid match 2nd-3rd August 2010. (4.5-1.5 to Svidler) They play in a two day blitz 4th-5th August 2010. On day 1 of the blitz they played the Larsen's opening 1.b3, Svidler won 7-3. The second day they played a normal blitz match which was drawn 5-5.
