 | | Messiah: There are several very-very-very interesting opening choices already in Round 1. The Jaczek Szwed - David Anton Guijjaro is, for example, 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 e6 4.O-O Nge7 5.c3 a6 6.Ba4 b5 7.Bc2 Bb7 8.Re1 g6 9.d4 cxd4 10.cxd4 Bg7 11.d5 Na5 12.d6 Nec6 13.Nbd2 g5:

Can you find the mate in 3? |
|
| Mar-03-23 | | AlicesKnight: <messiah> Yes, it's pretty; 23.Rh8+ and both options for Black lead to rapid demise. |
|
| Mar-05-23 | | apexin: I havent seen Ponomariov play for quite a while. |
|
| Mar-06-23 | | little ernie: Why are Russians playing ? I realize they're not all in favor of the war. But I thought that, as a group, they would not be welcome. |
|
Mar-06-23
 | | HeMateMe: Could these be Russians not presently living in Russia? |
|

 | | Troller: <Russians> are still able to compete as individuals and not under the Russian flag, same as in a lot of other sports. There are currently 2 Russians in the tennis top 10 for instance; but probably they cannot play the Davis Cup. As usual, this event draws a huge number of GMs up to just below 2700. Mostly it serves as a qualifier for the World Cup with 23 spots on the line. |
|
| Mar-08-23 | | goodevans: <apexin: I havent seen Ponomariov play for quite a while.> Nor I. I know he had issues getting a visa to play in India which ruled him out of at least one tournament there last year and probably the Chennai Olympiad (2022) too. Anyhow, he got beaten in a highly entertaining game in round 5 by fellow Ukrainian Anton Korobov (who was at the aforementioned Olympiad). |

 | | Dionysius1: <apexin: I havent seen Ponomariov play for quite a while.> FIDE's database is always good for a reality check. https://ratings.fide.com/profile/14... |
|
| Mar-10-23 | | goodevans: I watched two fascinating endgames play out involving the guys who currently have the two top spots. First Gledura vs G Quparadze, 2023 then A Korobov vs S Kourkoulos-Arditis, 2023. Very different from each other but both worth a look for those who appreciate an endgame. |
|
| Mar-12-23 | | virginmind: It's getting interesting for Shevchenko. Good luck today against Gledura! |
|
| Mar-12-23 | | virginmind: He won today and with 8/10 points is equal first with Sarana (who has drawn his game). They will probably be paired tomorrow. |
|
Mar-12-23
 | | Check It Out: Two rounds to go and this tournament is tightly packed at the top. Anyone could break out a win. |
|
| Mar-13-23 | | goodevans: Lots of quick draws in the final round today including Alexey Sarana vs Kirill Shevchenko, joint leaders going into the round. Among those still slugging it out for the full point are Anton Korobov and Benjamin Gledura. These guys were first and second going into round 8 where they agreed a draw in just 8 moves. Wonder if they're regretting that now. Korobov could join the leaders with a win (not so, Gledura) and there are three others for whom a win would give them a share of the lead. The official website states, "The order of players that finish with the same number of points shall be determined according to the ECU tie-break criteria rules". These can be found in section B.6 here: https://www.europechess.org/wp-cont.... Depending on how many players are involved, I'm glad it's not me working it out. |
|
| Mar-13-23 | | goodevans: Korobov leaves his K out in the cold to go grab a pawn and Daniel Dardha pounces to grab a share of first place. Can't find anything on the official site yet to say who won the tie-break but chess.com has Sarana first ahead of Shevchenko then Dardha. |
|
| Mar-14-23 | | Olavi: Korobov just made the World Cup in the end; some players may now regret their short last round draws. I haven't checked who had a berth in the WC going into the Ech, so not everything is necessarily how it seems at first. |
|
| Mar-14-23 | | virginmind: The official site has Sarana as winner, followed by Shevchenko and Dardha. Congratulations! |
|
Mar-14-23
| | Check It Out: <Olavi> are you implying that this tournament can qualify you for the world cup? |
|
| Mar-15-23 | | Olavi: <Check It Out> Yes, the first 23 qualified. And it goes further down in case among those 23 there are people who have already got a spot. |
|
Mar-15-23
| | Check It Out: Thanks, didn't know that. |
