World Championship Game 5: Even Gurgenidze is not enough to win

Chess News Nov 16, 2018 | 03:08 P

In today's 5th game of the World Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana, the two players honoured Georgian champion Bukhtuti Gurgenidze with their opening selection and after a mild-mannered struggle, the game ended in a draw. (The 2017 World Junior Champion GM ARYAN TARI annotates.) The press conference, however, was once again lively. When asked which player Carlsen most admired from the past, he brought down the house with the original reply, "myself from three or four years ago".| Photo: World Chess

Misha in memoriam

Chess News Nov 15, 2018 | 22:13 P

Last week saw the birth anniversary of Mikhail Tal, (1936-1992) 8th World Champion and legendary player. Few players captured the imagination of the chess world as he and Bobby Fischer did. We offered him a small tribute and here is another by our columnist who also draws our attention to a slim volume that deserves to be better known. | Photo: Riga greets Tal

Tense draw in game 5 of the World Chess Championship in London - 5

The Week in Chess Nov 15, 2018 | 19:49 P

The fifth game of the World Chess Championship was drawn in 34rather tense moves. Once again with Caruana as white the gamewent into a Rossolimo Sicilian variation. Carlsen's pace of play slowedconsiderably after 6.b4 although it became clear he knew the theorywell. Caruana's 12.Qe2 seems to be a novelty but I don't thinkit was new to Carlsen. Fairly soon after it became clear thatif anyone was better it was Carlsen, Caruana thought for overhalf an hour on move 19 and it was Carlsen's turn to go intothe tank on move 20. Carlsen presumably was hoping for winningchances but his choice of 20...Kb6 didn't really work out (the computeridea of 20...b5 would surely have been his other choice).Caruana's 21.Bd2 brought about a nice sequence where he gave uppawns for activity and when he finally restore material equalityon move 34 the position was a dead draw.Caruana to NRK: "A well played game with some fireworks."Carlsen: "It was a long preparation from him. But I wasn't very worried about the position that arose.I felt that I had sufficient compensation with my bishop pair.After that I found a way to play for advantage, but I found nothing clear.""I felt that I had a fine[…]

WWCC in Khanty-Mansiysk, Semi-final, Game 1: Ju Wenjun begins with a win

World Chess Federation - FIDE Nov 15, 2018 | 02:00 P

Ju Wenjun begins Semi-final with a winThe Semi-final of the Women's World Championship started in the Ugra Chess Academy on November 15.The defending World Champion Ju Wenjun had Black against Alexandra Kosteniuk. The players went for the French defense. After the opening, White's position looked promising, as she enjoyed a spatial advantage. However, Black regrouped nicely and won White's overextended a-pawn. Alexandra did not find the best move at the critical moment, and her position deteriorated quickly. However, then the Chinese missed the strongest continuation, which could give her a decisive edge. Further simplifications followed, but the extra pawn remained and eventually proclaimed itself. Ju Wenjun celebrated victory.Mariya Muzychuk made a draw with Kateryna Lagno. In the Berlin Variation of the Ruy Lopez neither side could claim any advantage. A draw on the move 23 became a logical conclusion of the game.The return games will be played on November 16. If the matches are drawn after two games, the tie-break will ensue on the next day.Official websiteAlexandra Kosteniuk and Mariya Muzychuk advance to Semi-final of Women’s World Championship The Quarterfinals of the Women's World Championship were concluded on November 14 with two tie-breaks: Alexandra Kosteniuk defeated Anna Muzychuk, and Zhansaya[…]
