 | | chessgames.com: Games have now been added for Rounds 1-3 of both the Open and Women's sections of the 2019 FIDE World Team Chess Championship. For news & details, see the official site at http://wteams.astana2019.fide.com/e... |
|
| Mar-08-19 | | sonia91: Underwhelming performances by China (winner of the previous 2 editions and therefore the defending champion!) and Azerbaijan: China lost two matches in a row, against USA in rd 2 and vs Russia in rd 3, in rd 4 drew with India. Azerbaijan lost 3 matches (vs China, England, Sweden) and drew with Kazakhstan. |

| Mar-08-19 | | sonia91: <<Sweden replaced Poland, who declined their invitation. <???>>> Chess24 is missing some steps. Poland declined the invitation, as the top players were already committed to the Praga Chess Festival and the Polish federation didn't want to send a weak team and decided to not participate at all. So Poland had to be replaced by a team from the last Olympiad. The next in line were Vietnam, Armenia, France (Laurent Fressinet twitted that the French federation declined too the invitation), Ukraine (as published by FIDE https://www.fide.com/component/cont...) Evidently they all declined to play (the venue and dates were announced only 6 weeks before the start of the event!), finally Sweden, the next in line from the Olympiad standings, accepted. |
|
| Mar-08-19 | | whiteshark: Thank you for the clarification, <sonia91>! |
|
| Mar-11-19 | | scchess: What a chaos! 6 weeks. |
|
| Mar-11-19 | | Sokrates: Thanks, <sonia91> - as usual, you are a great source of information. - Six weeks notice is ridiculous and almost insulting to the teams. |
|
| Mar-11-19 | | devere: A bad tournament for Sergey Karjakin who now has a negative score for Russia on board 1. In round 5 he blundered away a drawn game against Jumabayev, and in round 6 he was manhandled by Naiditsch in spite of having the White pieces. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets benched in some future rounds. |
|
| Mar-11-19 | | botvinnik64: All games are on chess bomb.com
Egypt drew its match today with China! |
|
Mar-12-19
 | | offramp: Michael Adams seems to be losing against B Amin of Egypt. Howell seems to be winning and Jones is better. McShane is drawish. Could be a win for England. |
|
Mar-12-19
| | offramp: Howell has beaten Adham Fawzy. |
|
Mar-12-19
| | offramp: Chessbase reckons that Adams's game is now ∓, so it has improved! Hopefully he can draw. |
|
Mar-12-19
| | offramp: Hesham v Jones is a rook ending. White has a rook and a b-pawn. Jones has a rook, a b-pawn, and a g- and h-pawn. It looks easily won. |
|
Mar-12-19
| | offramp: At move 50 the Adly-McShane game looks like a certain draw. |
|
Mar-12-19
| | offramp: Baseem Amin missed a win against Adams at move 48! |
|
Mar-12-19
| | offramp: England won 2½-1½. It'll be a while till we see the leader board. |
|
| Mar-12-19 | | devere: Karjakin benched against USA and Russia wins the match 2 1/2 -- 1 1/2 |
|
Mar-12-19
| | offramp: This seems to be the current standings after round 7/9. 1 Russia 12 17½
2 England 11 16½
3 India 10 18½
4 USA 8 15½
5 China 8 15½
6 Iran 7 15
7 Azer 5 12
8 Kazakh 4 11½
9 Sweden 4 9½
10 Egypt 1 8½ |

| Mar-13-19 | | OrangeTulip: Why is the world elite not participating in their country teams?
And what a crappy official website! |
|
| Mar-13-19 | | fisayo123: <OrangeTulip> This is actually one of the best organized team tournaments in a while. The Kazakh chess federation have done a fantastic job. Instead of moaning why not just enjoy the chess and the games played by the great players on show? |

 | | Tabanus: The organizers are using http://chess-results.com/tnr421064.... |
|
| Mar-13-19 | | sonia91: Russia wins with a round to spare after beating Sweden 3.5-0.5. Their last victory of this event was in 2013 in Antalya, Turkey. |
|
| Mar-13-19 | | sonia91: <fisayo123: [...] The Kazakh chess federation have done a fantastic job.> I fully agree. They organised the whole thing in only 6 weeks. <scchess>, <Sokrates>, <OrangeTulip> The new FIDE administration had to sort out the mess left by the old one, which should have announced this event one year ago or so. Since all year was basically already booked for other competition, the new FIDE administration had to set the date of the World Teams at the last minute, nevertheless they managed to found a venue. With that premise and taking account of the tight schedules of the top players, no matter which month this event had taken place, many of them could not have participated. |

| Mar-13-19 | | boz: Good reporting Sonia. |
|
| Mar-13-19 | | Everett: Adams having a tough time, it seems. |
