May-27-12    whiteshark: < X International Chess Tournament < «World’s Youth Stars» < 11 - 25.05.2012 >>> "The "World's Youth Stars" chess tournament is devoted to the memory of <Vanya Somov <(20 February 1990-31 July 2002)>>. He could have rightfully been a participant of this representative competition. But Vanya's star burned brightly and faded away having no time to shine in the sky if chess. Though young, he was a rightful member of the team of the World champion 1999 Alexander Khalifman at the World Championship in Las Vegas, at the biggest International tournament in Linares (2000) at the math play with the leading young grandmaster of the world P. Leko in Budapest (2000). In his chess biography he took part in such bright events as the Youth Championship of Russia (Sochi-2002), World Junior Championship (Spain-2000), International chess tournaments in Helsinki, Dortmund, Maintz, Sankt-Ingbert. He played for his school, town and Leningrad Region at the All-Russia's competitions, twice he became the winner of chess tasks and etudes in the Academy of Chess Art in St. Petersburg. Vanya was surprisingly talented and kindhearted boy with a big sole and a special sunny smile." -- Gennady Nesis http://www.somovs-memorial.ru/index... May-27-12    blade2012: On 'Scacchi Internazionali' http://biker60.wordpress.com/2012/0... May-27-12    whiteshark: Ti ringrazio molto, <blade2012>! May-27-12    nummerzwei: Wow, Artemiev is one of the youngest kids in here, but he wins! May-27-12    belgradegambit: I like the fact that the kids play a lot more e4 openings than their elders do nowadays. May-28-12    waustad: Is Illya Nyzhnyk too old for this or is he enough better than the competition that it isn't worth his trouble? May-28-12    waustad: Artemiev is listed as the #1 U14 and Nyzhnyk is listed as the #1 U16. http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... May-28-12    Born In 2000: This was an interesting tournament and it deserves more attention. Congrats to Artemiev, this was a great tournament for him and hopefully the start of many successes to come. I hope all of these talented juniors will be our future grandmasters and maybe win the World Junior Championship soon.
