|
The 11th European Women's Individual Championship was a 158-player 11-round Swiss tournament held in the Center Zamet sports hall in Rijeka, Croatia, 6-18 March 2010, with a day for rest on 13 March, and a day for playoffs on 18 March. It was organized by the Rijeka chess club and the Croatian Chess Federation, under the auspices of the City of Rijeka and the European Chess Union. The first 14 players would qualify for the next World Championship tournament. Time control: 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, then 30 more minutes for the whole game, with 30 seconds added per move from move 1. If players were tied for medals or qualifying places the ties would be broken by knockout matches, each match consisting of two Rapid games (15 min + 10 sec), and if needed two Blitz games (5 min + 2 sec) and an Armageddon game. Prize fund: 60,000 euros. First prize 10,000, 2nd prize 8,000, 3rd prize 6,500 euros. Tournament director: Damir Vrhovnik. Chief arbiter: Mladen Bratosevic. Play began each day at 3:30 pm. Number of games played: 865 Classical + 14 Rapid + 2 Blitz = 881. Pia Cramling took her second European Championship title with 9/11. Cmilyte was once again 2nd, with 8.5/11, and Socko (3rd) beat Sebag (4th) and Dembo (7th) in the tiebreak matches for bronze medal. The six 7.5/11-players having lowest Buchholz score played matches for WC-qualification, from which also Kovalevskaya, Ziaziulkina and Rajlich qualified for participation in the Women's World Championship Knockout Tournament (2012). Tiebreak games: 11th EU-ChW playoffs (2010). Sources

|
| Mar-07-10 | | whiteshark: Women of Europe, unite! |
|
| Mar-08-10 | | gus inn: There is a japanese star who does not wear that many clothes.Her name is Fuko. Wrong page ?? |
|
| Mar-08-10 | | Hovik2009: yes, that is a nice new country to be named of United Women of Europe! |
|
| Mar-08-10 | | whiteshark: FWIW: Today is <International Women's Day>. ;) |
|
| Mar-08-10 | | Hovik2009: Ok I forgot about that, but anyway in this new feminizing era, human race is threatened to be taken over by two formidable forces, one is artificial intelengence lead by mainframe computers and internet, and another is natural intelegence lead by ever awakening women! just kidding girls! |
|
| Mar-08-10 | | whiteshark: "Gender equality and women’s empowerment are fundamental to the global mission of the United Nations to achieve equal rights and dignity for all... But equality for women and girls is also an economic and social imperative. Until women and girls are liberated from poverty and injustice, all our goals -- peace, security, sustainable development -- stand in jeopardy." -- UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

|
| Mar-08-10 | | Etienne: "Women had better avoid chess then."
Haha good one! |
|
| Mar-08-10 | | acirce: Women hold up half the sky!
Here is a little piece by Kollontai from the early years of Soviet Russia about the origin and the real significance of Women's Day, which has become so sadly depoliticized in our days: http://www.marxists.org/archive/kol... |

| Mar-08-10 | | wanabe2000: <technical draw> Indeed, Tatiana is a Grandmaster awarded in October 2009. Her sister is playing very well of late and has past her in ELO ratings. I'm not sure how close Nadezhda is to the GM but she is the highest rated Russian Woman chessplayer (FIDE Top 100 Women January 2010) with 2533. She's the fifth highest rated female chessplayer overall. |

| | Viewer Deluxe: Curiously, Natalia Zhukova just spent over 35min pondering her 17.e5 move vs Svetlana Matveeva (round 4). You won’t be able to find that type of insight in any other broadcasting software. |
|
| Mar-09-10 | | PhilFeeley: The top board is a good game today. No quick draw here! Get Microsoft Silverlight

| Mar-09-10 | | PhilFeeley: Rats! They made a liar out of me. In such a highly competitive tournament, why take quick draws? |
|
| Mar-10-10 | | nuwanda:
After four rounds GM Monika Socko of Poland with 4.0/4 in sole first place. But how hard chess is, even for the best, can be seen in B Kovanova vs M Socko, 2010 good for a patzer like me to see that others have trouble too ... |
|
| Mar-11-10 | | Octavia: after 5 rds 3 are 1st=
Scottish, Polish & Russian.
The reason why Arakhamia-Grant, Ketevan - Kosintseva, Tatiana didn't play it out is because they respect each other too much (very much?). Both achieved the GM title last year.
Keti played 2 exciting games in rd 3 & 5 |

| | HeMateMe: Monica is sockin' them |
|
Mar-11-10
| | Viewer Deluxe: Antoaneta Stefanova sent her knight on quite a journey g6-f8-e6-g7-e8-f6-g8-e7-g6 in her game vs. Arakhamia-Grant in round 6. I can’t believe this has happened in OTB game. Take a look (board #2) http://chesstuff.blogspot.com/2010/... |
|
| Mar-11-10 | | DiscoJew: <HeMateMe: I believe this page is now open for general comments, Shakesperean diatribes and Japanese Haiku poetry.> What about a little after dinner raconteuring? |
|
Mar-11-10
| | HeMateMe: Ok. Why don't we start an investment company that guarantees a 20% return for all investors? I'm sure the chessplayers here will trust us... |
|
| Mar-11-10 | | alexapple: How many players will qualify for the Women's world Championship in Turkey? |
|
| Mar-12-10 | | DarthStapler: I notice that the description on the front page lists the name Kosintseva twice, I know there are two of them playing but to the less informed readers they might think it was a mistake, so perhaps adding the player's first initial before one of them would be prudent. |
|
| Mar-12-10 | | Atking: <Viewer Deluxe:> Yes this knights moves are amazing but I'm more impressed by this light Bishop still alive even closed in the queen side. Almira does pretty well too. |
