REYKJAVIK RAPID 2004: KASPAROV
VICTORIOUS
A
strong field duked it out March 17th to
the 21st. In this event, those losing
their two game mini-matches (25 minutes each
with five seconds a move added) were knocked
out of the tournament.
First
round results:
Kasparov
over M Carlsen by 1.5 - .5
Short
over S. Kristjansson by 1.5 -.5
Karpov
over H. Stefansson by 1-1 (1-0 in the blitz
playoff)
Timman
over Hjartarson by 1.5 - .5
Aronian
over H. Olafsson by 2-0
Dreev
over Petursson by 1.5 - .5
Sutovsky
over Nataf by 1.5 - .5
P.H.
Nielsen over Epishin by 2-0
Kasparov’s
first round victory was anything but easy,
since he was actually losing to the youngster
in the first game (though he managed a draw
then won the second).

ROUND
TWO: Karpov spoiled a winning position and
ended up losing his match to Dreev (1.5 - .5).
Short
moved on to the next round by taking out Aronian
(1.5 - .5). His game with Black is notable
since he played in important theoretical novelty
in the Trompowsky.
After
making an easy draw as Black, Kasparov mowed
down Timman to advance.

ROUND
THREE: This round featured two very tough matches,
with Kasparov facing Peter Heine Nielsen (who
won Hastings in 2003) and Short matching wits
against the extremely solid Dreev.
Kasparov
vs. Nielsen: The former World Champion wasn’t
able to achieve anything in the first two games
and this forced the match into overtime. Kasparov
had White in the third game and, as in the
first two, his opponent achieved a solid position.
However Nielsen was the first to crack under
the pressure, made a material-losing mistake,
and lost both game and match.
Short
vs. Dreev: The first game featured a not too
interesting draw. In the second Short played
his favorite Advanced Variation against Dreev’s
favorite Caro-Kann. A long, difficult battle
ensued with Short eventually coming out on
top.

ROUND
FOUR: The final between Short and Kasparov
almost seemed a continuation of their wild
and wooly 1993 World Championship match where
Short would go after Kasparov’s Sicilian
with all guns blazing. However, even though
he would often build up good or even winning
positions, the Englishman would still end up
on the short end of the stick.
Here
too he pounced on Kasparov’s Najdorf
and achieved an extremely promising, perhaps
even winning, game. Kasparov though, held tough
and, after Short missed some chances and continued
playing for a win even when he should have
grabbed the draw, the tide turned. This victory
as Black more or less ended matters in favor
of Kasparov, and it was Short fighting for
a draw (and eventually getting it) in the final
game.

TOURNAMENT: GRISCHUK WINS ON TIEBREAKS
This
powerful tournament was held from the 17th to
the 26th of March. Though Rublevsky
went into the last round with a half point
lead, he could only draw Zvjaginsev in the
final game while Grischuk defeated Zhang Zhong.
This led to a first place tie between Grischuk
and Rublevsky, but tie breaks favored the former.
Final
results: 1st - 2nd Grischuk
and Rublevsky (6 pts), 3rd & 4th Bologan
and Sokolov (5.5 pts), 5th Zvjaginsev
(5 pts), 6th Onischuk (4.5 pts),
7th Lautier (4 pts), 8th & 9th Aleksandrov
and Zhang Zhong (3.5 pts), 10th Malakhov
(1.5 pts).

KASPAROV’S ILLEGAL VANISHING
ACT
John
Donaldson Reports:
GM
Alex Baburin in the excellent online daily Chess
Today (http://www.chesstoday.net) recently shared
some information about some strange incidents
involving Kasparov at Linares.
Dmitry
Komarov in the Ukrainian newspaper Facty told a story about a little known aspect of the recent Linares
tournament. Below is our translation of his
text (in Russian): "A real detective story
happened in the last rounds of the Super tournament
in Linares. According to Silvio Danailov, manager
of Ruslan Ponomariov, when playing against
Vallejo, Kasparov before making his move suddenly
stood up and left the playing hall. He did
the same the day before when he played against
Topalov.
In
accordance with the rules such behavior is
strictly prohibited because of the possible
computer assistance and is punished with a
defeat. The arbiters noticed Kasparov's strange
maneuver and asked the girl who was working
in the press center to follow him. Garry went
to his hotel room and stayed there for about
fifteen minutes. Coming back he explained to
the arbiters that he had had to take some medicine
urgently. The arbiters gave Kasparov just a
warning, while at the last European Team Championship
Ponomariov lost a full point for a lesser offense – an
accidental mobile phone call."
It's not at
all clear that Kasparov was cheating, but can
you imagine what his reaction would be if one
of his opponents left the board for an extended
period of time without consulting an arbiter?
Though unquestionably one of the greatest,
if not the greatest player of all time, Kasparov
is not likely to be remembered as having great
board manners. One only has to recall his actively
utilized repertoire of facial grimaces and
the incident with Judit Polgar where he violated
the touch move rule.
NEW U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP DATES
The
2004 U.S. Championships will take place November
25th - December 5th at
the Hilton Torrey Pines, La Jolla San Diego,
California.
America’s
Foundation for Chess (AF4C) and their co-sponsor
the NTC Foundation expect to maintain its $250,000
prize fund along with corporate sponsor Chessmaster®.
Already
half of the 64-player field has been seeded
directly into the championship as the nation’s
top players on the February 2004 United States
Chess Federation Rating List, or have won through
by qualifying from the 2003 cycle of major
U.S. tournaments. Next month sees the start
of the 2004 qualifying cycle with a further
32-players looking to do battle over the chessboard
in the coming months for the honor of completing
the line-up. Further details of who has qualified so far and which events
make-up the 2004 cycle can be found at http://www.af4c.org/events.asp.
The
event offers something for chess fans and non-chess
players alike. During this year’s Kids
Simul event, more than 400 children will be
given an opportunity to play against America’s
finest chess players, with one grand master
playing against 25 children at one time. Other
events will range from chess demonstrations,
opportunities to meet the masters and a fund-raising
party.
