In the FIDE Grand Prix we see a mixture of very interesting
and fighting games, while others involve surprisingly careful
play. One of the biggest surprises was probably the loss on
time by Grischuk, who defended very well in a very di icult
rook endgame and when the draw was already so near,
Gelfand just won on time. Another big surprise is the win of
Andreikin over Caruana in the moment when Andreikin had
. / and Caruana was the tournament leader with . / . In
the interview, Caruana said that he played a horrible game
beginning from move one .e d ? :) As we can see, the World
Nr is not losing his ”dark” humor.
In the Isle of Man the last rounds will decide of the winner.
Vachier Lagrave, Adams, Howell and Short will probably fight
for the top prices.
In the Croatian league the team of Zagreb is dominating
the Championship with Malakhov and Korobov on the first
boards.
The Millionaire Chess Open in Las Vegas is also under way,
with a st price of
.
Dollars in the main tournament
section. Surprisingly the line-up is everything but great
though, as with the exception of Wesley So and Le Quang,
there are no GMs over
participating in it.
In a few days
interesting matches are going to begin
between Giri-Shirov and Timman-Jobava at the Unive Chess
event
. Of course there will also be an open tournament
running besides the matches.
Enjoy issue Nr
