1. Newa for the week ending June 24 (as of Friday, June 22) |
Edited on Fri Jun-22-07 02:26 PM by Jack Rabbit
The Jack Rabbit Chess Report is being put out early this weekend because I am going away for a few days. I'll be back home Monday and will post updates shortly thereafter.
Karjakin leads in Foros Seventeen-year-old Ukrainian grandmaster Sergey Karjakin leads the 12-player field after Friday's fifth round of the second annual Aerosvit International Tournament in Foros, Crimea (Ukraine) with 3½ points. Vassily Ivanchuk, also of Ukraine, is in second place with 3 points. Karjakin entered the fifth round in a three-way tie for the lead at 2½ each with Ivanchuk and Latvian-born Spanish grandmaster Alexey Shirov. Karjakin, with White, defeated Shirov in 45 moves today while Ivanchuk drew with Russia's Dmitry Jakovenko. Shirov had the early lead in the event after winning his first two games, but has only managed a half point in the last three rounds. Dutch National Championships underway in Hilversum: Stellwagen and Peng set pace Stellwagen leads men's event Daniel Stellwagen of Soest, Holland, leads the men's competition after Friday's sixth round in Hilversum with 5 points. Stellwagen, 20, is riding a four-game winning streak after defeating IM Martijn Dambacher on Friday. Woerden grandmaster Erwin L'Ami is in second place with 4 points. L'Ami began the tournament with three victories in four games before losing to defending champion Sergei Tiviakov. Peng Zhaoqin in front in ladies' competition China native Peng Zhaoqin of Rotterdam leads the ladies' competition after four rounds in Hilversum after four rounds as of Friday with a perfect score. Mw. Peng, who carries a full GM title, is favored to win her eighth consective ladies' championshipship of her adopted country. The matter became almost anti-climatic in Tuesday's second round when Mw. Peng, playing Black, defeated Delft WGM Bianca Muhren, who is expected to be Mw. Peng's closest rival. WIM Desiree Hamelink of Spijkenisse is in second place after four rounds with 3 points. The Bensdorp twins dig in for action against each other in the first round In a small oddity, twin sisters Marlies and Laura Bensdorp played each other in the first round. Marlies, playing White, won the game in 52 moves. Karpov takes third in Valjevo Corus Former world champion Anatoly Karpov, playing in his first event with standard time controls in four years, finished third in the Gorenje Tournament in Valjevo, Serbia, which completed Thursday. Karpov scored 5½ points out of a possible nine. He won three games and lost only one. In tournament news overshadowed by Karpov's paarticipation, first place was shared by Israeli GM Michael Roiz and Saut Atalik of Turkey with 6½ point each. Roiz was declared tournament champion on tie break points. Sparkassen Chess Meeting opens Saturday in Dortmund: Karamnik's participation in doubt The annual Sparkassen Chess Meeting, one of the "big three" events in chess, begins this saturday in Dortmund, Germany. This year's event is a category 20 among eight players: world champion Vladimir Kramnik of Russia; the world's top-ranked grandmaster, Vishy Anand of India; Peter Leko of Hungary and Boris Gelfand of Israel, fresh from their triumphs in the Elista candidates' matches; Shakhriyar Mamedyarov of Azerbaijan; 16-year-old Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen; the reigning Russian national champion Evgeny Alekseev; and the reigning German champion, Arkadij Naiditsch. There is currently some question about Kramnik's participation. It has been announced that the world champion is suffering from a respiratory infection and may be forced to withdraw. The Sparkassen is a seven-round tournament that concludes July 1. Last year's event was won by Kramnik in a tie-break over fellow Russian grandmaster Peter Svidler. Social Page: It's a girl for Alexandra Kosteniuk It was announced this week that Russian grandmaster Alexandra Kosteniuk gave birth to a baby girl, Francesca Maria, on April 22. Francesca was two months premature and weighed only 3 pounds, 3 ounces at birth. However, the child is now home with her parents and "doing fine." More details on ChessBase.com. |
