|
The 4th Aeroflot Open was a 102-player 9-round Swiss held in Hotel Rossija (Russia), Moscow, from 15-23 February 2005. Because of the huge number of GMs participating the A group was from 2005 on split in two parts, A1 and A2. The A1 group, for players rated above 2549, saw 96 GMs with Etienne Bacrot as top-seed fighting for the $30,000 first prize and a place in the Dortmund tournament in July. Total prize fund (including groups A2, B and C): $175,000. Time control: 120 minutes for the first 40 moves and 60 more minutes for the next 20 moves, then 15 more minutes to the end of the game, with 30 seconds added per move from move 61. The organizers were Aeroflot, the Association of Chess Federations and the Russian Chess Federation, in cooperation with the Committee on Tourism of the Municipality of Moscow. Tournament director: Alexander Bakh. Chief arbiter: Geurt Gijssen. Emil Davidovich Sutovsky won on tiebreak ahead of Kharlov, Ivanchuk, Motylev and Akopian, all five with 6.5/9. Sutovsky qualified for participation in Dortmund Sparkassen (2005). Elo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

| Feb-23-05 | | aragorn69: Is Sutovski definitely qualified for Dortmund ? What is the tie-break rule ?? |
|
| Feb-24-05 | | suenteus po 147: I'm a little new to the whole tournament circuit thing. Do I understand correctly the winner of Aeroflot has an automatic invitation to Dortmund? Where is Dortmund? How else does one qualify for Dortmund? What makes Dortmund one of the "big three?" |
|
| Feb-24-05 | | iron maiden: <suenteus po 147>
1. Dortmund is in Germany.
2 & 3. Dortmund is the third-biggest tournament of the year; clearly behind Corus and Linares, but ahead of everything else. It usually contains most of the top five players, plus two or three outsiders--the winner of Aeroflot, the top German, and one of the child prodigies. A sampling of past line-ups: 2003 had Bologan, Anand, Kramnik, Leko, Radjabov and local player Naiditsch, and last year featured Anand, Kramnik, Leko, Svidler, Bologan, Rublevsky, Naiditsch and Karjakin. |

 | | cu8sfan: My prediction which I posted on the Shakhriyar Mamedyarov page was Ivanchuk, Sutovsky and Bacrot. I'm happy that two of the three made it into the first three. Sutovsky is a great attacking player. It's fun to play over his games. |
|
| Feb-24-05 | | ARMENIA: Armenia now has two 2700 players ! That's an improvement ! Of course Vaganian wasn't in his best form after the Olymiad but it is interesting to see that almost all of the Armenian players had positive improvments. Regards |
|
| Feb-24-05 | | suenteus po 147: <iron maiden> Thanks for the answers. So Sutovsky is in. Who else will attend? Naiditsch no doubt, and probably Anand, Kramnik, Leko, and Bologan (if the last two years are any indication). Does anyone know when it starts? |
|
| Feb-24-05 | | iron maiden: Usually it takes place from late July to early August; not sure about the exact date for this year. |
|
| Feb-25-05 | | Maroczy: Will chessgames post games from the 9th round? |

|
| Feb-25-05 | | Maroczy: Once again: will the 9th round be posted? |
|

|
Mar-03-05
| | cu8sfan: <Maroczy> Happy Birthday! (-; |
|
| Mar-03-05 | | Maroczy: <cu8sfan> Thanks. I just like his games and the era he played, it's not a cult thing:). |
|
| Mar-03-05 | | Open Defence: is it Geza MAroczy's b'day ? or the User Maroczy ? |
|
Mar-03-05
| | cu8sfan: According to http://www.chesscafe.com/ it's Geza Maroczy's 135th birthday. <Maroczy> Your avatar goes very nicely with that time. I like the fact that's your Holmes is not smoking the calabash people usually associate with him. That image of Holmes was made popular through a movie. Conan Doyle never specified what kind of pipe Holmes was using. |
|
| Mar-03-05 | | Maroczy: <cu8sfan> I like the Basil Rathbone Holmes films; I recently bought " The Hound of the Baskervilles ", my favorite. That's when Hollywood made decent movies with good actors. There are good films today but I like the 30's & 40's films. How about Greer Garson? I haven't seen anyone that's even close in contemporary films. Just my opinion, don't mean nuthin'. |

| | chessgames.com: We finally received the round 9 games of the Aeroflot open. |
|
| Mar-09-05 | | yoozum: Aeroflot is a horrible company. Their fleet is primarily composed of planes from the 70's. I had some unpleasant experiences with them several years ago. |
|
| Mar-10-05 | | azaris: They're a good methaphor for the chess played in the tournament: Often a bit shoddy but never a dull moment. |
|
| Jul-03-11 | | checkmateyourmove: how do i view the standings for this tourney? or any one have the top 3 finishers here? |
