  REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)  

Kibitzer's Corner
May-05-23  fabelhaft: Gukesh won again in the second round and is now only 6 Elo from a top ten spot. Gelfand lost with white also in the second round, to Svidler this time.
May-06-23  fabelhaft: Gukesh is improving so quickly one already wonders if there are many better players in the world. In his last 17 super tournament games he has scored +6-0=11, with draws against Carlsen, Nepo, Giri, So, Aronian (twice).
May-06-23  goodevans: 'Only' a draw from Gukesh today against Grandelius allowing both Svidler and lowest-ranked Mishra to join him in a three-way tie for first after three rounds.

Both Mishra and Gukesh have yet to play Gelfand, who sadly is having a complete nightmare so far.

May-07-23  ultrausurper: It's sad to see Gelfand struggling this badly, earlier this year he scored a respectable 7½/11 at the European Championship, winning four games and losing none. Maybe he's just been getting unlucky here, but hope to see him win at least 1 one game.
May-07-23  syracrophy: Abhimanyu Mishra achieved two BIG victories so far!
May-08-23  goodevans: The average ELO rating in this tournament is 2675 (2692 if you exclude Mishra whose rating struggles to keep pace with his stellar advance).

With the proliferation of rapid and blitz, classical tournaments of this strength aren't as common as they once were so you'd think they'd want to spread them out a bit. At the very least not have a more than 70% overlap with Superbet Chess Classic Romania (2023).

May-08-23  goodevans: The only decisive game in round 5 saw Erigaisi, as Black, blunder on move 47 in an equal position (R+3P vs R+3P).

It allowed van Foreest to force a string of trades down to K+2P vs K+2P where White's K and f-pawn were further advanced giving him a simple endgame win.

May-09-23  goodevans: Final round tomorrow. Mishra possibly slight favourite despite Gelfand having stopped the rot after the first three rounds.

Hope he or Gukesh wins it. Would be good for chess if one of the up and coming youngsters really makes a mark - I mean at the Carlsen sort of level - in classical chess now that Carlsen can't be bothered with it any longer.

May-10-23  ultrausurper: Congrats to Svidler! Experience triumphed over youth in this event, with Gelfand taking down Mishra in a tough last game. I was rooting for Gukesh, but certainly a deserved win by Svidler, who I wasn't really expecting a lot from going into this event.
