FIDE Online Steinitz Memorial (Women) (2020) |
The FIDE Online Steinitz Memorial featured two 10-player double round-robins on chess24 from May 15-17 to celebrate the 1st World Chess Champion Wilhelm Steinitz (1836-1900). In the Women's section (this page), the prize fund was €12,000. Time control: 3 minutes per player for all moves, with a 2-second increment from move 1. No draw offers allowed before move 30. If two or more players scored the same number of points, the tie was decided by: a) the results of the games between the players involved in the tie, b) the total number of wins, c) Sonneborn-Berger score. A tie for 1st would be decided by an Armageddon game, where White had 5 minutes to Black's 4 but a draw counted as a win for Black. Organizers: FIDE and chess24. Chief arbiter: Nebojsa Baralic. Top seed and World Blitz Champion Kateryna Alexandrovna Lagno beat Tingjie Lei in the Armageddon game (Tingjie Lei vs Lagno, 2020) and won the first prize of €3,000. Elo 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10

May-18-20 | | et1: The last game between Kateryna and Tingjlie in Armageddon will be famous one day. It lasted 152 moves which must be a record in that format. Furthermore between move 101 and move 128 Kateryna who only needed a draw to win moved her bishop of white colors 28 times back and forth between b7 and c6. Incredible. This is what great sport is about. Check here - https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/202... |

May-19-20 | | SirChrislov: be famous one day or left in oblivion?
embarrassing play by both sides I'd say, a back and forth silly dance until white had to do something but had no good moves so ended up losing. she won legally and I know 1st prize was at stake but the game left a bad image.
As GM Eduard Gufeld used to say...
"this is not chess." |
|
May-19-20 | | SirChrislov: Zhansaya Abdumalik of Kazakhstan scored 10 out of 18, that's amazing for someone in the weak trio of the group. congrats to her. |
