THE WEEK IN CHESS 838 29th November 2010 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luis Blasco de la Cruz, Dave Clayton, Zenon Franco Ocampos, Michael Kopylov, Holger Lieske, Jack Peters, Ivan Morovic, Sean Hewett, Lennath Eriksson, Frank Berry, Jan Mazuch, John Saunders, George Mirijanian and everyone else who helped with the issue.

Another busy week of chess. The BN Bank Blitz in Norway saw Hikaru Nakamura win but only after a struggle in the final against Simen Agdestein. Sadly the final parts of the event are either lost or incomplete. This is not to pick on them, this has been a bit of a trend in the last couple of weeks. In chess' equivalent of "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" the question of whether if you organise an elite chess event and don't record the games what was the point? This was really quite stark at the World Blitz Championships, perfectly recorded when it took place in Israel, its incarnation in Moscow has relied on electronic boards, which are bound to fail under the pressure of blitz games. Some of those were rescued from videos, not by the organisers but by enthusiasts. But surely if you spend a fortune bringing the best players in the world there, then you can spend the small amount required video all the games and make sure a proper bulletin is constructed. The same problem occurred in a number of events this week, I did wonder if the cleaning up of the games from the Puhajarve Rapid was really worth it, I have the game headers looking nice, I suspect the move text is not. But this even stretched to the Thanksgiving Open by the normally wonderful St Louis Chess Club, lots of pre-publicity about Short's participation. and then apart from the round 3 pairings silence until today. And then still no games either. Other events such as the Italian and Greek Championships, Belgrade Trophy, Cultural Village Tournament (won by Luke McShane and a very entertaining little tournament) all have had nice clear reporting on their sites, it isn't really rocket science.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) BN Bank Blitz Norway 2010

The finals of the BN Bank Blitz took place in Oslo on 27th November 2010. Invited players: Jovanka Houska (England), Leif E. Johannessen (Norway), Kateryna Lahno (Ukraine), Simen Agdestein (Norway), Hikaru Nakamura (USA). Qualifiers: Bergen Abdulla M. Muhsen, Kristiansund Anders Olsen, FM Daniel J. Kovachev, Porsgrunn Anders Hobber, Stavanger IM Vadims Daskevics and Tromso Jon Kristian Royset were joined by Joshua Paul Schmidt who bid for the final place. 3 minutes +} 2 seconds per move per player. A 6 player double round robin stage of two groups produced semi-finalists. Hikaru Nakamura went to 13/13 beating Leif Erlend Johannessen 3-0. Simen Agdestein only just got past Kateryna Lahno 3-2. Nakamura was beaten twice by Agdestein in the final but still won 3-2, however not much remains of the last two games of the event, hopefully the organisers will be able to reconstruct this decisive stage. Lahno took bronze by drawing a final sudden death game after the initial match was drawn 2-2 against Johannessen, again the final stages are missing.

3) 3rd Remco Heite 2010

The third Remco Heite tournament took place in Wolvega, the Netherlands. This tournament is also known as 'the tournament with the horse', (See video about the horse symbol) because the winner receives (besides the main prize) a bonus with which he can donate a horse to an institution for handicapped people. Wolvega hosts one of the best-known horse race tracks in the Netherlands. The Invitation Group of this tournament featured grandmasters Anish Giri, Loek van Wely (the winner of 2006), Peter Heine Nielsen, Luke McShane, Bartlomiej Macieja (the winner of 2008), and Erwin L'Ami. Luke McShane took clear first place with 3.5/5 in the GM group. The rapid open saw favourites GM's Sipke Ernst and Friso Nijboer finish on 8/9.

5) Cultural Village Tournament 2010

The Cultural Village tournament acted as a qualifier for remaining places in the Wijk aan Zee C 2011 tournament. Dariusz Swiercz's victory over Enrico Blees took him to clear first place. Long time leader Sahaj Grover lost to Oleksandr Sulypa in the final round to lose both the place at Wijk aan Zee and his final GM norm. He was awarded a place in Wijk aan Zee's C-Group for 2012. The 2nd spot in the Wijk aan Zee group was for the top finishing Dutch player which rather neatly came down to the game between Twan Burg and Roeland Pruijssers. Pruijssers won and took the final place available.

11) 2nd OCF Thanksgiving Open 2010

The 2nd OCF Thanksgiving FIDE Open (Stillwater Oklahoma) was won with 5 pts from 5 games by FM Conrad Holt of Wichita, Kansas. Conrad has 2 IM norms so far and he is still in high school! Players from 4 states competed in the 5-SS with time control of G-90 + 30 sec. 22 of the 32 players were FIDE rated. The field also included FA Jim Berry who is the USCF President of their Executive Board. Ernie Maldonado and his son "Ernie Jr" completed their FIDE rating norms and will be rated Jan 1st. My thanks to IA Frank K. Berry for this report. He was also the arbiter.

13) 6th Femida Cup 2010

The 6th Femida Cup 2010 took place over three days 23rd-25th November 2010. It produced a number of tense matches with only one being settled 3-1 the rest being 2-2 draws or 2.5-1.5 wins for one side. A DAN DZO-PGMB Chernigov led by Baadur Jobava won and hosts Law Academy Kharkiv finished last. The hard fought nature of the event was reflected in the final game to finish between Illya Nyzhnyk and Oleg V Ivanov which exploded into life on move 93!? and contained some exciting but not really very accurate chess played at 30 seconds a move and which finished in a draw on move 137.

18) 11th Puhajarve Rapid 2010

The 11th Puhajarve Rapid was held 26th-28th November 2010. Tomi Nyback took clear first place with 28.5/31. The event had a rather unusual format. There was a mix of standard of players. So there was a handicap system in operation. 10+10 minutes handicaptime control: all players are divided into 5 groups and the time difference between two adjacent groups was 4 minutes. For example, for two players belonging to the A group the time control will be 10 minutes foreach, an A-B pair gets respectively 8 and 12 minutes and so on until 2 and 18 minutes for a group A player against a group E player. Whether the games were worth recovering is another matter, many were incomplete.

20) Saint Louis Thanksgiving Open 2010

The Thanksgiving Open in Saint Louis took place 26th-28th November in a field including Nigel Short. Rather surprisingly for an organisation that has done so well in covering the US Championships the coverage of this event was pathetic with only a set of pairings for round 3 as an update all weekend followed by final standings and a short report the day after, no games seem to be available. Today Garry Kasparov and Short attend a special event at the chess club.

30) Harry Nelson Pillsbury Memorial 2010

George Mirijanian reports: The Harry Nelson Pillsbury Memorial tournament took place on November 28, 2010 at the Leominster Veterans Center in Leominster, Massachusetts, USA. IM Goran Vojinovic, a noted chess coach from Serbia who moved recently to Wayland, Massachusetts from the state of Ohio, tied for first place with fellow IM David Vigorito of Somerville, Mass., and U.S. Chess Federation life senior master Denys Shmelov of Pepperell, Mass. The trio tallied 3.5-0.5, with Vojinovic and Vigorito drawing each other in the final round. The tournament drew 61 players in three sections and was directed for the sponsoring Massachusetts Chess Association (MACA) by USCF associate national TD Alex Relyea of Bedford, New Hampshire, with assistance from his wife, Nita Patel, and USCF national TD and MACA president Ken Ballou of Framingham, Mass.

32) Ajedrez Unam Quadrangular 2010

As reported last week Judit Polgar won the Ajedrez Unam Quadrangular 2010. She gave a correction to game one of the final. I did add this as a correction last week but if you got TWIC straight away you wouldn't have got it. The table for the open won by Zenon Franco Ocampos is now available. There don't seem to be games available in spite of some being broadcast.
