THE WEEK IN CHESS 856 4th April 2011 by Mark Crowther

1) Introduction

My thanks to Gujuan Tzu, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Alexander Prokhorov, Miklos Orso, Laszlo Nagy, Roland Wimmer, Adrian Stanca, Jan Mazuch, Sandor Videki, Jonathan Hains, Philip Weiss and everyone else who helped with the issue.

The European Individual Championships finished with Vladimir Potkin edged out Radoslaw Wojtaszek, Judit Polgar and Alexander Moiseenko on tie-break. The event itself was incredibly tough and perhaps it will be seen that Polgar's performance signifies a real return to form of the only woman to reach the top 10.

Philip Weiss Auctions managed to exceed all expectations by selling the chess set used for game three of the most iconic chess match of the 20th Century between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. This set was used for just one game but the one used for the rest is highly unlikely to ever come up for sale unless Iceland has to sell everything in their economic crisis. For those that have the money and appetite for these things perhaps the $67,500 plus buyers premium will look like a bargain. Rather less edifying was the sale of letters Bobby Fischer wrote to Zita Raiczanyi a 17 year old who apparently terminated two preganancies with the middle aged Fischer. It does reveal that Fischer apparently thought he had an alter ego called "BOB". There is a fascination with Fischer's life that continues but just because you are a genius in one area of life it doesn't make the rest of it worth raking over except as an act of prurient voyeurism. I suppose there is some kind of extra insight here but more and more I think that although there are many excuses made for Fischer, it comes down to this, he really wasn't a very nice person at all and his views on the world were deluded and worthless and listening to almost anybody else would be better. That and he shamefully wasted the only talent he did have after winning the World Championship.

A late piece of breaking news is to confirm there will be no Linares Super-Tournament this year. It was really too late to organise such event this year and financing is still tight so this came as no surprise at all. The organisers promise to be back in 2012. They hope to make the Spanish Championship this year as strong as possible as a minor compensation.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) 12th European Individual 2011

The 12th European Individual took place 22nd March - 2nd April 2011. Vladimir Potkin edged out Radoslaw Wojtaszek, Judit Polgar and Alexander Moiseenko on tie-break (performance) after all finished on 8.5/11. 11 players finished on 8/11 including Vallejo Pons, the in the news Sebastien Feller and Peter Svidler. The event was a qualifier for the FIDE World Cup with 23 places. 8 players qualified on 7.5/11. It now seems that Potkin, Svidler and Mamedov were already qualified so 26th place or better qualified players and so there was good news for McShane, Fridman and Motylev. But it does seem to have been a bit of a shambles with both the method of performance calculations and who was already qualified being unclear to the participants which was obviously a bad thing as they didn't really know what they had to do during the final round. Ian Nepomniachtchi, David Navara and Fabiano Caruana all missed out.

3) Chinese Championships 2011

The Chinese Championships take place in Xinghua, Jiangsu 30th March - 10th April 2011. Wang Yue is the top seed. Of interest is the participation of 17 year old women's World Chess Champion Hou Yifan in the men's rather than women's event. Good practice for her world title match against Humpy Koneru later in the year and indeed it seems she is to play a number of matches against GMs in practice also. She is also playing on local ground having been born in Xinghua. The women's event seems to have one game postponed and I seem to have lost the gamescore to one of the women's games from rd3 also which was broadcast live.

The Bunratty Chess Festival rightly has the reputation as an enjoyable chess event. It took place over the weekend of Fri 25th Feb 2011 - Sun 27th Feb 2011. Gawain Jones took clear first place with 5/6 half a point clear of Tony Kosten and Ryan-Rhys Griffiths. Top seed Nigel Short was a further half point back having been defeated by the winner. Full games section now available.

24) 10th Aeroflot Open World Blitz Qualifier

Absolutely the final game from the World Blitz Qualifier extracted from the videos.

25) Chess set used in Fischer's first ever win against Spassky sold

Auction house Weiss Auctions (See their Entry and photos for the set) has sold the chess set used in the infamous Game 3 of the World Chess Championship Match of 1972 between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky for $67,500. The game was the first ever win by Fischer over Spassky and followed a game 2 default by Fischer. The win allowed Fischer to settle down to play chess and he came back from 2-0 down to score 6.5 points from the next 8 games. The chess set is both nice and part of history, there were only two chess sets used in the match, this and the one used for the rest of the match. This one was presented to Gudmundur G. Thorarinsson.

Bobby Fischer's continued participation in the match was very much in the air when he played Game 3. He was complaining about noise that most others found inaudible and was 2-0 down after losing a drawn game in game one and refusing to play game two. Game three was played in an ante-room set aside for table-tennis and was monitored by a close circuit monitor. Fischer played the Benoni, regarded as rather dubious at the time (for a world title match at least), and demolished Spassky for his first ever win. He never looked back.

As the auction site says:

There were two chess sets used at the 1972 World Chess Championship: this set for the 3rd game only, and another set for all the other games which is now in possession of The Chess Memorial Museum in Reykjavik. This chess set was given to Guomundur Thorarinsson, the President of the Icelandic Chess Federation as a birthday present in 1972. Comes with a letter of authenticity which is signed by Guomundur Thorarinsson (President), and Hilmar Viggosson (Treasurer). Also included is a photocopy of the minutes from a board meeting dated November 18, 1972 written in Icelandic. Item number 13 states that the chess set was presented to Mr. Thorarinsson as a gift. A translation of item 13 is "Agreed to present to Gudmundur G. Thorarinsson as a gift a chess board and chessmen used in the match". Incredible piece with provenance!!

The estimate was $30,000 - $50,000 but the final price exceeded this with a final bid of $67,500 plus 13% buyers premium of $8775 for a total of $76,275. I also have to say that the design looks as close to perfection for a chess set as I have seen.

The board pictured was signed by both players in 1972 but wasn't used in the match.

The set used for the remaining games of the match is on display in Iceland and will never come up for sale.

There can't be a better moment to sell this set as interest of the match due to a documentary called "Bobby Fischer against the World" (Bobby Fischer vs. The Rest of the World was the title of a great account of the match written by Brad Darrasch that Fischer hated and although sensationalist it does have the ring of truth about the 1972 match which Darrasch attended as when Fischer re-emerged in 1992 the voice of Fischer presented in the book was the same) and a new book by Frank Brady on Fischer - whose original book was a bit of a fairy story that hid much of his dark side (as a teenager I used to worship at the alter of Fischer based on this kind of inaccurate account - now I just love his games) but now has produced what many say is the definitive account so far - have increased interest in this legend of the game.

The Wikipedia entry on the match describes the game in this way:

Game 3 proved to be the turning point of the match. Lombardy wrote of the beginning of the game:

When Bobby arrived, Boris was, as usual, seated at the table. Bobby did not sit down but went around inspecting the television equipment, and at this point Boris betrayed indignant agitation. Bobby tested the remote-control camera for possible sources of noise. Schmid watched the proceedings and became anxious. He felt the match once more was in jeopardy. Schmid took Bobby by the arm in an effort to get him to the playing table. Bobby brushed off Schmid's entreaties. "The American grandmaster permitted himself great liberty in his remarks, which were very disagreeable to hear," Spassky said later. Finally satisfied with the camera, Bobby settled down for the match.

After (Spassky with White) 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5 4.d5 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.Nc3 g6 (Benoni Defense, ECO code A61) 7.Nd2 Nbd7 8.e4 Bg7 9.Be2 O-O 10.O-O Re8 11.Qc2, Fischer demonstrated his acute intuitive feel for the position with 11... Nh5!? Allowing White to shatter Black's kingside pawn structure looks antipositional, but Fischer's assessment that his kingside attack created significant counterplay proved correct.

Surprised by Fischer's novelty, Spassky did not react in the best way. In particular, his 18th move, weakening the light squares, was a mistake.

White: Boris Spassky

Black: Robert James Fischer
