| Ziggurat: <acirce> Ser från din första länk att de i år arrangerar "Chock-SM" - låter intressant. Chock har ju alltid spelats vid sidan om i (skol-, kadett- osv) SM och jag vill minnas från min egen skol-SM-tid att Stefan Solbrand var närmast oslagbar i det (oavsett partner!). Han verkade då som en talang i paritet med Jonas Barkhagen (eller Johan Hellsten, som inte var så outstanding på den tiden) men har nog försvunnit från schacket eftersom han inte ens har en egen sida på cg.com! Det verkar som om han blev ännu bättre på bridge och spelade på hög nivå tillsammans med Olle Wademark, som också är gammal schackspelare. Ursäkta utsvävningen ... |

| acirce: Hehe. Jag minns inte när jag spelade chock senast. Kanske skulle vara kul att prova på igen. Har även bara vaga minnen från min egen skol-SM-tid, (utom från debuten 1989 förstås ;-) ) Lärde för övrigt känna Emanuel och hans far Bo lite grand runt den tiden, men det var förstås länge sedan. |

| Ziggurat: Ja, jag såg idag när jag letade efter resultattabeller att en Ulf H. hade vunnit 1989! Själv kom jag fyra 2ggr och sjua en gång, om jag inte minns fel. Debutåret 1984 kom jag mycket nära att vinna - jag mötte Peter Bergström i sista ronden i ett parti där segraren skulle ta hem pokalen. (Tror att han även skulle ha vunnit vid remi.) Pressen blev för hård för mitt tioåriga nervsystem och i slutspelet missade jag en springargaffel som skulle ha vunnit dam (och därmed parti). Bergström knackade triumferande på gaffelrutan efter att jag gjort mitt drag och lyckades inte bara rädda slutspelet utan även vinna det. OK, nu ska jag försöka hålla mig on topic, som du ju lyckades göra i din post ovan ... |

| acirce: Där ser man, det var så nära även för dig alltså. Hur som helst var det förstås höjdpunkten i min schackliga karriär, sedan dess har det gått stadigt utför ;) Yeah, and maybe we should return to English as well before this turns to the Wesley So page, or at least to what it used to be.. although we have some way to go until we reach the same number of pages. |

| acirce: Yes, he secured victory with a short draw in the final round. 9.5/13 in all. Grattis! |

| whiteshark: Gratulationer till mästerskapet vann! |

|
| acirce: Btw, I think it is -- surprisingly enough -- the first time he wins the title, so it must have felt particularly welcome. He's certainly had his share of 2nd places. |

| BoardLord: GM Emanuel Berg will participate in Arctic Chess Challenge 2009 in Tromsø, Norway with start 1st of August. In connection with this I have written a profile of him that you can read at my blog Sjakkfantomet. It's in English: http://sjakkfantomet.blogg.no/12482... |
|
| Jul-30-09 |
| Pennypacker: Berg also won the Politiken Blitz tourney. There's some nice videos from the semi and the final here: http://ksu.dk/politiken_cup/default... |

| zarg: Looking at the final position in today's game WGM Natalia - GM Berg at Arctic Chess Challenge:
click for larger viewdraw agreed, but it appears Berg had a nice mating attack with 44... Qa1+ |
|
| Aug-04-09 |
| slomarko: line please |
|
| Aug-04-09 |
| slomarko: Qa1 Kg2 Qg1 Kh3 and then what? |
|
Aug-04-09
|
| zarg: I was thinking Qf1+, Rg2, g4+ |
|
| Aug-04-09 |
| slomarko: you are correct, it's an easy win, are you sure the result is correct? i doubt a GM can miss such a variation in a slow game. |
|
| Aug-04-09 |
| slomarko: zarg the score of the game is clearly not correct, they have white playing Qa8 on move 43 which is absurd. |
|

|
| zarg: you can check the final position here

|
| Aug-04-09 |
| slomarko: zarg please replay the last few moves of the game. IMO for example already 42.Qa5 is probably not correct because its a stupid move and black could mate with Rb1. almost certainly 42.f7 or 42.Rb3 was played. |
|
Aug-04-09
|
| zarg: <slo>, when playing through those moves... I fully agree that it look like a transmission error, and I also think you are quite right by assuming that the final position given isn't correct either. Berg had a very long game yesterday, so it wouldn't be too surprising if that had an effect today though. |

and when replaying the moves 39-47, it appears Berg had a nice advantage (which slipped away), but no mating attack. |

| Aug-05-09 |
| slomarko: the only moment i think he had a good advantage is here: 
click for larger view he played Rfb8 but Qe5 seems much better and white would have to find the Qa6-Qh6 idea to keep his head out of the water. |

| zarg: Yup. We did figure it out, and it was all confirmed in phantom's blog: <Emanuel Berg could have got excellent winning chances by the strong centralizing Queen-move 42...Qe5! with a threat of Rb2 among other things. When he didn't find this he didn't get more chances and it ended up in a hard fought draw on move 72. With some 200 moves in the last 2 games for GM Berg it will be interesting to see how much fighting spirit the Swedish Champion can show up with in the next rounds.PS: The LIVE-stream of this game got corrupt after move 41. As broadcasted Emanuel Berg could have mated with a nice Qa1+, with a long forced mate-sequence as several observers saw. This position was never at the board so Berg did never have such a mating attack...
