The most interesting event of the week was definitely the
Vugar Gashimov memorial in Shamkir, which had a dramatic
finish. It was a big race between Caruana and Giri right
from the beginning of the event. With just three rounds to
go, Caruana was leading with / and Giri was only half a
point behind him. This was the moment when the local
hero, Shakriyar Mamedyarov (who was only on / ), launched
his amazing finish. He won his three remaining games,
including two victories against the leaders, which allowed
him to overtake Giri by half point and to catch Caruana. This
meant that a tiebreak was going to decide the fight for the first
place between Caruana and Mamedyarov.
The players started the playo with two rapid games, which
were dominated by Caruana, but the Azeri managed to
draw two suspicious positions and take the match to a blitz
tiebreak. At this time control, Mamedyarov was probably
considered to be the favorite and he indeed won the match
and the title by scoring with Black and making a draw with
the white pieces.
Meanwhile the European Women’s Championship is under
way in Mamaia. We are in the middle of the event and a lot
excitement still awaits us and will decide the winner and the
qualification places for the World Cup.

The French league is also very exciting. There is a race
between the two favorite teams from Clichy and Bischwiller,
as both have very strong line-ups. They are going to face each
other in the penultimate round.
We hope you enjoy the current issue, in which we focus more
on the endgame sections.
