The JR Chess Report (November 15): Kramnik wins the Tal; Magnus new numero uno |
Edited on Sun Nov-15-09 05:06 PM by Jack Rabbit
Kramnik Wins Tal Memorial; Magnus Takes over as Numero Uno
Former world champion Vladimir Kramnik of Russia won the Tal Memorial Tournament for 2009 in Moscow 6 points in nine rounds, a half point ahead of Norwegian teenager Magnus Carlsen and 40-year-old Ukrainian GM Vassily Ivanchuk. Vladimir Borisovich won three games, more than any other player in the tournament, without a loss. Magnus and Ivanchuk scored 2 wins each without a loss. Reigning world champion Vishy Anand of India, who was chasing Kramnik for most of the tournament, lost to Armenia's Levon in the final round to finish tied for fourth with Aronian with two wins and one loss each. Magnus, now training under former world champion Garry Kasparov, was the pre-event favorite following his spectacular performance at the Nanjing Grand Prix a month ago, caught a fever in the early rounds and was taking antibiotics. He may have been a little off his game, drawing each of his games in the first seven rounds. However, Magnus recovered his game if not his health and defeated Ukrainian GM Ruslan Ponomariov in the eighth round and then scored a Black vicotry over Hungary's Peter Leko in the ninth and final round. Magnus' two late-round wins were not only enough to put him in second place, but enough to overtake former FIDE world champion Veselin Topalov by a half point as the world's unofficial highest rated player. Topalov will be officially number one at least until January 1 when the new ratings come out from FIDE, but the leading unofficial rating tracking website run by Hans Arlid Runde shows Magnus currently 0.6 points ahead of Topalov. [br />Magnus, who turns 19 on November 30, making him the youngest numero uno ever. Mikhail Tal (1936-1992) was world champion in 1960-61 and was one of the most popular chess players of all time. Tal was famous for his risky play, which served him extremely well. A man of great wit, he answered his critics by quipping, "There are two kinds of sacrifices: sound ones and mine." Afflicted by kidney disease from childhood, Tal also felt he had nothing to lose by taking risks with his health. When asked for his opinion on postal chess, Tal said, "I drink, I smoke, I gamble and I chase girls; but postal chess is a vice I've never acquired." Tal died in a Moscow hospital at age 55. The cause of death was given as kidney failure, but a friend said that, in fact, all his vital organs gave out at once. 2009 World Youth Chess Championship Begins in Turkey From the official website of the 2009 World Youth Chess Championship The annual World Youth Chess Championship, featuring 2000 players from under 10 to eighteen years old, got under way Thursday in Antalya, Turkey. Unlike the just completed World Junior Championships, which were held last month in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, the World Youth event is grouped into age categories as well as by gender. This arrangment makes the World Youth event less elite, a fact also compounded with the World Junior event being open to players under 21. However, the the players group by age, the World Youth event attracts younger players than any who participate in the World Junior. The official website was having some problems this morning (fortunatly, nothing like the problems the World Junior Championship website had recently), but your humble hare can now report that after today's fourth round Turkish IM Mustafa Yilmaz and Russian FM Nikolay Shukh lead the Boys' 17- and 18=year-old group with perfect scores, while in the same age group for Girls, two untitled players, Anastasia Savina of Russia and Monika Motycakova of Slovakia, are tied for first with Russian WFM Victoria Korchagina with perfect scores. Peruvian WIM Deysi Cori Tello, who just distinguished herself by finishing a very close second in Puerto Madyn, is also competing in the World Youth in the 15- and 16-year-old Girls' Group. She is tied for first in that group with a perfect score through four rounds. La señorita Cori impressed observers in Puerto Madryn with her sharp, tactical play. The World Youth Chess Championship runs through November 22. Calendar World Cup, Khanty Mansiysk 28 November-15 December. London Chess Classic 7-16 December.
