THE WEEK IN CHESS 846 24th January 2011 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Luis Blasco de la Cruz, Mitko Iliev, George Mirijanian, Harun Taner, Gunnar Bjornsson, Emmanuel Variniac, Jose Vilela, Zenon Franco Ocampos and everyone else who helped with the issue.

Things couldn't be more delecately poised in the Wijk aan Zee A-Group with 5 rounds to go. World Champion Viswanathan Anand and Hikaru Nakamura lead by half a point from Levon Aronian, Magnus Carlsen, Vladimir Kramnik and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave with Ian Nepomniachtchi a further half point back. A strong finish from any of these could grab first place. Almost every round had contained fascinating chess and in addition the B and C Groups are turning out to be big fights also. Tomorrow the Gibraltar Chess Festival starts, the event gets stronger every year and players such as Vassily Ivanchuk, Michael Adams and Fabiano Caruana could just as easily have been playing in Wijk aan Zee. There is a great week of chess ahead.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 73rd Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee 2011

The 73rd Wijk aan Zee tournament sponsored by Tata Steel is delicately poised. Viswanathan Anand and Hikaru Nakamura lead but players such as Levon Aronian, Magnus Carlsen, Vladimir Kramnik and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave are just a half point behind and it looks like a big fight is still ahead.

22) Basel Chess Festival 2011

The Basel Hilton Open took place 1st-5th January 2011. There was a big tie on 5/7. Yannick Pelletier edged out Sergey Ovsejevitsch, favourite Etienne Bacrot, Andreas Heimann, Oleg Korneev,Azer Mirzoev, Hicham Hamdouchi, Farid Abbasov, Mihajl Stojanovic, Vadim Malakhatko, Max Scherer and Sinisa Drazic. Games from the final two rounds still not yet available. I have a feeling they should be on the website somewhere but haven't found them. I got the first five rounds from http://www.chess-international.de/ and they must have come from somewhere. The Partien section seems to be last year's games.

24) Israel Albert Horowitz Memorial

George Mirijanian reports: The Israel Albert Horowitz Memorial tournament took place January 22, 2011 at the Boylston Chess Club in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA. IM Marc Esserman, 27, of Somerville and national master Andrew Wang, 15, of Cambridge, Mass. tallied 3.5-0.5 to tie for first place. Tying as runners-up with 3-1 scores were German-born expert Dr. Bernhard Seehaus, 48, of Boston and fellow expert Mika Brattain, 12, of Lexington, Mass. The tournament drew 23 players and was directed by Bernardo Iglesias of Stoughton, Mass. The event honored the memory of Israel Albert "Al" Horowitz (1907-1973), one of the leading U.S. players during the 1930s and 1940s. Horowitz was U.S. Open champion in 1936, co-champion (with Isaac Kashdan) in 1938 when the event was held in Boston, and champion in 1943. Besides being an author of numerous chess books, Horowitz was the owner and editor of Chess Review magazine from its inception in 1933 until 1969. He was also the first chess columnist for the New York Times, introducing a column for the Sunday edition of the Times on April 16, 1962 and running the column until 1972, when he was succeeded by GM Robert Byrne.

Computer Chess Tournament

Frank Quisinsky is running a tournament amongst 32 of the best computer programs. "Now after 15 months SWCR with 40 moves in 10 minutes I played a computer chess tournament in WM football mode with the strongest 32 chess programs which are available for myself. With maximal conditions = 40 moves in 150 minutes, 40 moves in 150 minutes, rest in 60 minutes the best engines will play a great tourney. I am absolutley sure about it. So you and all others will get very good game material for analyzes. So far 25 of 672 games are online. Tournament started January 10th, 2011 for around 30-40 days on 4 fast Quad Core machines. ."
