- Corus Group A 2003
|
The 65th tournament in Wijk aan Zee (Beverwijk from 1938 until 1967) was played in the De Moriaan Community Centre, Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, from January 11 (Round 1) to January 26 (Round 13), with rest days on January 13, 17, and 22. For the second year in a row, it took place without the participation of Garry Kasparov (Elo rated #1 in the world), who preferred to play a match against the computer program 'Deep Junior' (FIDE Man - Machine WC (2003)). Missing were also Peter Leko (#5) and Michael Adams (#6). Seven Top 10 players took part: Classical World Champion Vladimir Kramnik (#2), Viswanathan Anand (#3), Veselin Topalov (#4), FIDE World Champion Ruslan Ponomariov (#7), Evgeny Bareev (#8), Alexey Shirov (#9) and Alexander Grischuk (10). Also playing were: Judit Polgar (#13), Vassily Ivanchuk (#15), Anatoly Karpov (#20), Loek van Wely (#30),
Michal Krasenkow (#56), 15-year-old Teimour Radjabov (#68) and Jan Timman (about #110). The drawing of lots took place in Velsen-Noord on January 10, with play to start at 1:30 pm the next day. First prize: 10,000 euros. Former (2000-2001) FIDE World Champion Anand won with 8.5/13. A good result, considering he had not played classical chess since Linares (2002) and FIDE World Cup (2002). Polgar, who had managed to reach 2700 in rating and was the world's best female player, took second place. It was probably her best ever result. In Round 4 (Karpov vs J Polgar, 2003) she had the privilege to ruin the castling of a former world champion:

Last year's winner Bareev took 3rd place. The 15-year-old Radjabov, who had achieved a 2nd place in Corus Group B (2002), made a honorable 50% score (+3 =7 -3). Kramnik disappointed this time with 7/13. Ponomariov did not do well either, and possibly he was affected by the circumstances around his expected unification match against Kasparov. For Anand, it was third win in Wijk aan Zee, counting his shared wins in 1998 and 1989. He took home 10,000 euros, while Timman, who ended last, cashed in 250 euros. <Wijk aan Zee, The Netherlands, 11-26 January 2003>

Played in De Moriaan sports centre, Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, 16-28 January 2001, with rest days on January 19 and 24. The main attraction was 13-year-old Teimour Radjabov, who had won the First Saturday GM tournament in Budapest, Hungary in December with a full point above the GM norm. The highest rated player (by a good margin) Mikhail Gurevich won with 8/11, and took home the first prize of 5,000 Dutch guilders (about $2,150, i. e. $3,075 in 2019 value). Radjabov in second place achieved his second GM norm. The 14-year-old Pentala Harikrishna also took his second GM norm, and received 1,000 guilders in prize money besides his 2,000 guilder appearance fee. table[

Played in the De Moriaan community centre, Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands from January 15 (Round 1) to January 27 (Round 11), with rest days on January 18 and 23. In addition to teenager Werle and the other IM's and GM's, there were three female players: Stefanova, Zhaoqin Peng, and Skripchenko. The event was won by Krasenkow with 8/11. Krasenkow had a 2702 rating only a few years earlier. He had been one of the world's top 10 players and a FIDE World Championship quarterfinalist, but he was now second seed behind Sokolov. The quiet-spoken Russian émigré went from a high of 2731 into a freefall with a drop to 2573 and obscurity by the July 2001 list. He had played very well in late 2001, however, and with this win he got another crack at the elite, as his victory guaranteed him an automatic placing in next year’s Group A. <Wijk aan Zee, The Netherlands, 15-27 January 2001> table[

The 30th Dortmund Sparkassen Chess-Meeting took place in the "Golden Hall" of the Westfalenhallen Congress Center in Dortmund, Germany 6-21 July 2002. Rest days (except for tie-breaks): July 12 & 17. The tournament in 2002 also served as a Candidates tournament, to select a challenger for world champion Vladimir Kramnik. Chief arbiter: Andrzej Filipowicz. The eight players were divided into two groups (A and B), each playing a double round robin with Classical time control. Then the two best in each group played a knockout tournament with four Classical games, and if necessary Rapid and Blitz games. Peter Leko won the event by beating Topalov 2½-1½ in the final: Group A (6-11 July):

Leko advanced to the Kramnik - Leko Classical World Championship Match (2004). The victory was no doubt deserved, but Garry Kasparov (who felt he should have a re-match with Kramnik), Viswanathan Anand (who was bound by his contract with FIDE), Ruslan Ponomariov (the FIDE world champion) and Vasyl Ivanchuk did not participate. The match between David Baramidze and Alisa Maric was won by the former with 4½-3½. The match between 16-year-old Arkadij Naiditsch and Jan Timman ended 4-4. The Open A swiss tournament was won by Tigran Nalbandian with 9/11. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dortm...

Sponsored by the Sparkasse Dortmund, the 28th Dortmund Chess Meeting was played from July 6th to July 16th, 2000. Nine grandmasters participated: the World Championship challenger Vladimir Kramnik (Elo ranked #2 in the world), Viswanathan Anand (#3), Michael Adams (#5), Peter Leko (#7), Evgeny Bareev (#11), FIDE World Champion Alexander Khalifman (#25), Vladimir Akopian (#28), Jeroen Piket (#34), and Robert Hübner (#66). In additon, and for the first time in such an event, a computer chess program (Deep Junior 6) was entered into the contest. [(1, 2, 3)] One of the four white wins in Round 1 was Adams' win against Piket, who lost on time. [(4)] In Round 2, Junior beat Hübner in 20 moves, while Leko played the Nimzo-Indian for the first time in his career (with the black pieces). [(4)] The star of the event was Kramnik who had just surpassed Anand on the rating list. Kramnik started out well but lost against Adams in Round 4. To prevent Adams from putting his knight on f5, he should have exchanged bishops and been almost equal with
click for larger view45...Bh6. Play went instead 45...Bf6? 46.Bxd4! Kramnik must now have realized that 46...cxd4 47.Nf5 Qe6 48.Rc2 Rc7 49.a4! (creating an outside passer) would probably lose. He tried 46...Bxh4, but after 47.Bxc5 the situation was equally hopeless (Stockfish). This was Kramnik's first loss in 85 games. [(5)] A round later (after having defeated Junior) he stated in an interview that he did not take the event very seriously, but rather as a training before the upcoming Kasparov - Kramnik Classical World Championship Match (2000) in October. [(6)] However, this did not prevent him from beating Anand in Round 6, and Hübner in Round 8. Kramnik and Anand tied for first, as they did in Dortmund (1996), and Kramnik was declared the winner, based on his better Sonneborn-Berger score. [(5)] It was his fifth win at Dortmund.

0 games, - Gelfand - Adams Candidates Quarterfinal
|
The match on this page, sponsored by the Hoogovens Group and organized by tournament director Piet Zwart and others was one of six (!) quarterfinals held at the Dorpshuis de Moriaan in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, 16-23/25/27 January 1994. The other five matches were the Kramnik - Yudasin Candidates Quarterfinal (1994), Timman - Lautier Candidates Quarterfinal (1994), Kamsky - Van der Sterren Candidates Quarterfinal (1994), Salov - Khalifman Candidates Quarterfinal (1994) & Anand - Yusupov Candidates Quarterfinal (1994). The draw for pairings was made soon after the Biel Interzonal (1993). The matches were held in order to reach a final match in 1996 for the title of FIDE World Champion. The event was opened in the presence of FIDE president Florencio Campomanes. Gelfand and Adams had both qualified for the match at the Biel Interzonal (1993). Adams was seconded by John Nunn. The match was best of eight games, or the first to achieve 4½ points. Game 1 was set to start at 1:30 pm. The match winner would receive 15,000 Swiss francs (about $11,000), the loser 9,000 (about $6,500). Chief arbiter: Mikko Markkula. <Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, 16-27 January 1994> table[

Gelfand went on to the Gelfand - Kramnik Candidates Semifinal (1994). The competing organization PCA (Professional Chess Association) now had their own 'cycle', and Adams had also qualified at the Groningen PCA Qualifiers (1993) for the PCA quarterfinals in 1994. "This match was considered by many the most interesting of the six. From a pure chess perspective, these two players were very evenly matched. Boris Gelfand must be considered slightly better, and certainly he has more knowledge of the openings, but Michael Adams has had many extremely impressive performances during the last two years, including defeating Gelfand in the final round of Tilburg '92 to win first prize! Michael also made a very good move before the match by hiring GM John Nunn to be his second, thus giving him considerable support for his openings. The even nature of the match would have been enough to make this battle very interesting, but there was another, personal aspect that heightened the interest of those "in the know." Gelfand had stolen Adams girl friend before the match! Michael had gone out with the same woman for over a year, but towards the end of their relationship she had expressed an interest in Boris. The "exchange" became official during the fall and has not done any good for the personal relations between the players. Many people wondered how this would affect the match. (And there was a cynical joke going around that perhaps there was an extra prize for the winner.) In fact, the match lived up to expectations for being close, much closer than the final score reveals. Although Gelfand won by two points, he could easily have lost the seventh game (which he drew), and only won the eighth game because Adams pressed so hard to win with the Black pieces. It must be said that while Nunn is a powerful addition to any analytical team, it seems that Adams was not able to use Nunn's expertise. Adams tried to play very sharply against Gelfand's favorite Najdorf in the first two games, but though he got good positions both times, he failed to convert either game. It was in the sixth game that he scored his first and only win, and this by playing 2. c3 against the Sicilian! Adams play with the Black pieces was abysmal. He was lucky that Gelfand played 1. e4 with his first White, as Gelfand is usually a 1. d4 player and only occasionally opens with the king's pawn, so that Adams was able to hold without too much trouble. He lost every other Black against 1. d4. It is true that he got a good position in the eighth game, but this was due at least as much to the nervousness of both players than to his opening."
