The JR Chess Report (September 27): Kasparov and Karpov Celebrate Their Rivalry |
Edited on Sun Sep-27-09 02:08 AM by Jack Rabbit
Kasparov and Karpov Celebrate Rivalry in Rapid/Blitz Match
Garry Kasparov won three out of four rapid games and five out of eight blitz games to win his much anticipated exhibition match against his old rival, Anatoly Karpov, in Valencia, Spain last week by a 9-3 score. The match began Tuesday with two rapid games on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the start of 1984 world championship match between the two legendary chess players. Between 1984 and 1990, the two would play five matches with the world chess championship at stake in each. The first match was abandoned after 48 games, Kasparov narrowly won the second and third, the fourth ended in a 12-12 tie with Kasparov retaining the title and Kasparov won the 1990 match 12½-11½. There will be another rapid/blitz match between the two great rivals in Paris in December. By winning the second match in 1985, Kasparov, then 22, became the youngest ever world chess champion. Kasparov, now 46, is today a leader of the political opposition to Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and has only engaged in occasional chess exhibitions or rapid/blitz matches since announcing his retirement after the Linares Tournament of 2005, in which Kasparov shared first prize with Bulgarian GM Veselin Topalov. Karpov is reputed to be the wealtiest man in Russia with investments in petroleum production. He seldom plays in a standard time control chess tournament nowadays, reserving most of his energy to rapid tournaments and exhibitions. The rivalry betweeen the two is rightly regarded one of the greatest in sports history. Sutovsky Runs off with Antwerp Tournament http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Q0lTtPVTG40/SrRwFX0Kq9I/AAAAAAAA8dI/RP-TbqRguVo/s400/AOL+Beta+-+Connected,+Signed-On+9192009+124250+AM.jpg Israeli grandmaster Emil Sutovsky, his country's second ranked player behind Boris Gelfand, won the nventi Chess Tournament in Antwerp with 7 points out of a possible 9. GMs Etienne Bacrot of France and Krishnan Sasikiran of India tied for a distant second with 5½ points each. SPICE Cup: Three Grandmasters Tied with Four Wins among Them http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q0lTtPVTG40/Sqlz4zfpsTI/AAAAAAAA7_o/FabWgEut9uc/S217/2009+SPICE+Cup+TTU+Cover+2.tif.jpg In a tournament featuring a number of fighting draws but few decisive games, three grandmasters go into today's eighth round tied for first place in the SPICE Cup Tournament on the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock. They are Jon Ledvig Hammer of Norway, Ukrainian Yuriy Kuzubov and Russia's Dmitry Andreikin. Jon Ludvig is the only player in the tournament with two victories to his credit; Kuzubov and Andreikin each have one win and seven draws. A B-Group tournament is taking place at the same time. In that tournament, American IM Ben Feingold clinched his final necessary grandmaster norm today. Feingold, with 6 points out of eight, leads the B-Group by one point over American GMs Vinay Bhat and Eugene Perelshteyn and 14-year-old IM Ray Robson. Young Robson needs a win tomorrow to secure his final GM norm. If he is successful, he will become the youngest American chess grandmaster ever, a distinction currently held by the late Bobby Fischer. The B-Group tournament ends tomorrow while the A-Group will fight it out until Tuesday. The event was organized by the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE), which is affiliated with Texas Tech University. Short Bests Efimenko in 6-Game Match Resurgent British GM Nigel Short defeated Zahar Efimenko of Ukraine in a six-game match with two wins against one last week in the western Ukrainian town of Mukachevo. Efimenko, 20 years younger than his opponent, struck in round one with a victory with Black, but Short came back in round 2 to score a Black win of his own. Rounds three and four were drawn, but Short scored in his final White game in round five before the sixth round was drawn yesterday, ending the match. The match was organized by UEP, which also organized last year's Anand-Kramnik world championship match in Bonn, Germany. Wang Yue and Hou Yifan Crowned in Jinzhou Grandmasters Wang Yue and Hou Yifan are the King and Queen of Chinese Chess after winning their repective groups at the Maotai Prince Cup National Tournament in Jinzhou last week.

Chess Doubleheader Begins in Nanjing
The second annual Pearl Spring Chess Tounament and the second leg of of the 2009-10 FIDE Women's Grand Prix began yesterday (Monday) afternoon at the Pearl Spring Holiday Resort Hotel in the former Chinese capital of Nanjing. The Pearl Spring Tournament is a double round robin among six players: Magnus Carlsen (Norway), Dmitry Jakovenko (Russia), Peter Leko (Hungary), Teimour Radjabov (Azerbaijan), former FIDE champion Veselin Topalov (Bulgaria) and Wang Yue (China). As was the case last year, the Pearl Spring is a grand slam tournament. The winner will play in Bilbao, Biscay Province (Spain) next August against the winners of the Corus A in Wijk aan Zee, the international tournament in Linares and the MTel Masters in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia. So far, Magnus Carlsen has won both of his first two games, yesterday against Leko and today against Topalov. No other play has won a game. The grand prix is being played among 12 women: nana Dzagnidze (Georgia), Martha Fierro (Ecuador), Ju Wengen (China), Bara Kovanova (Russia), Lilit Mkrtchian (Armenia), Batkuyag Munguntuul (Mongolia), Marie Sebag (France), Shen Yang (China), Xu Yuhua (China), Yildiz (Turkey), Zhao Xue (China) and Zhu Chen (Qatar). After two rounds, Ms. Dzagnidze is the only player with a perfect score. She is followed the two former world women's champions, Zhu Chen and Zu Yuhua, with a point and a half each. The first leg of the Women's Grand Prix was play earlier this year in Istanbul and was won by Indian GM Koneru Humpy. The four remaining tournaments in the series will be played in Nalchik in the Russian Caucaus in April; Jermuk, Armenia in June and July; the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator in July and August; and Santiago, Chile, in Octobe and November, 2010. The action in both tournaments begins at 3 pm Nanjing time (Midnight PDT) and may be followed on the official website of the both tournaments.
