Kamen — Sun, 28 May 2023 21:44:59 +0000

Norway Chess is a 10-player round-robin featuring Top 5 stars Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja and Hikaru Nakamura taking place in Stavanger, Norway from 30 May to 9 June. Each of the 9 rounds consists of a classical game where a win is worth 2 points and a loss 0. If the players draw they play an Armageddon game, where the winner earns 1.5 points and the loser 1 point. No draw offers are allowed before move 30. The classical time control is 2 hours for all moves, with a 10-second increment per move only after move 40. For Armageddon White (the same player who had White in the classical game) has 10 minutes to Black’s 7, with a 1-second increment from move 41. Black wins if the game ends in a draw. A tie for 1st place will be decided by two 3+2 blitz games followed, if necessary, by a 5 vs. 4-minute Armageddon game.

Dommaraju Gukesh is the youngest chess player ever to beat Magnus Carlsen as World Champion

nikita — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 21:36:00 +0000

Indian teenage chess star Dommaraju Gukesh today broke another record as he became the youngest chess player ever to beat Magnus Carlsen as World Chess Champion. Earlier this year, Gukesh became the youngest Indian player to cross the 2700 rating, and became the youngest Indian player to break into World Top 100.

Gukesh defeated Magnus Carlsen in the 9th round of the Aimchess Rapid, the 8th event on the $1.6 million 2022 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. Having black pieces, Carlsen had an almost winning position after critical 25.Rc7, but terribly blundered with 25…Re8? Gukesh didn’t miss his chance and forced the World Chess Champion to resignation after only a few moves. (Replay all games here)

“Obviously, beating Magnus is always special but I was not really very proud of that game,” said Dommaraju after the game. Commenting on his losses against Indian young grandmasters, Carlsen said: “Pragg is the only one I’ve lost multiple times to. As for Arjun and Gukesh: Arjun I’ve generally beaten; Gukesh very similar. (…) I think Gukesh has been extremely impressive in classical chess recently. Perhaps this rapid win wasn’t his proudest effort, even though getting a win is always nice”. Aimchess Rapid Day 3 recap

Oliwia Kiolbasa is the Gukesh of the Women’s Chess Olympiad

Sergio — Sat, 06 Aug 2022 16:15:00 +0000

As MrDodgy (aka ChessProblem) would put it, D Gukesh is the Alireza of the Chess Olympiad 2022. Having collected 8,0/8, Gukesh is now the second strongest Indian player and has officially entered the world top 20 with live rating 2729 ELO. Read about D Gukesh scoring 8,0/8 here

An equally great feat is going on in Chennai. To put it MrDodgy’s way, Oliwia Kiolbasa is the Gukesh of the Women Section of the Chess Olympiad 2022. With her win against India 3, Kiolbasa is now rocking the perfect 8,0/8.

Both Gukesh and Kiolbasa follow the footsteps of their great predecessors. Gukesh in the footsteps of Paul Keres, who won gold with the Soviet Union team and scored 13½/14 on board 4 in ’54. Kiolbasa chasing the performance of Judit Polgar 12.5/13 in the ’92 Olympiad.

In the 1954 Chess Olympiad, Keres won gold with the Soviet Union team and scored 13½/14 on board 4 – one of the best results ever achieved at Olympiads.

There are a few legendary performances in chess history- Bobby Fischer's perfect 11 in the US Championship, @GMJuditPolgar's flabbergasting 12.5/13 in the '92 Olympiad.
Well, @DGukesh is doing something similar- as he decimates Fabiano Caruana in Round 8, now with 8/8! pic.twitter.com/uJLyzu5F4D

16-year-old Gukesh D shines in Chennai with 5/5 points!

nikita — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 18:29:15 +0000

16-year-old Dommaraju Gukesh played brilliantly to defeat former World Championship Challenger Alexei Shirov even as his India Team B shocked fourth seed Spain with a 2.5-1.5 score at the ongoing 44th Chess Olympiad being played at Mamallapuram, Chennai. Replay the match here

This was Gukesh’s fifth victory on the trot and also a fifth victory for his India B Team. Gukesh, incidentally after this victory overtakes Vidit Gujrathi in Live ratings to be the third highest rated player in India after Anand and Harikrishna. He holds the second position on the live rating junior lists being behind Alireza Firouzja. After the game, Gukesh commented: “I got a fine position after an error from him and slowly outplayed him. It’s a pleasure to play Shirov and to beat him, is special”. Round 5 results (open section) / Round 6 team pairings

The game incidentally was an old Sicilian where Shirov tried an unconventional 9th move. Gukesh was quick on the uptake and started pressing for victory after blunting out Shirov’s pieces. His King personally escorted one of his pawns to the queening square with the help of his two rooks, prompting Shirov’s resignation on the 44th turn in a position which was beyond repair. The 16-year-old summed up “My strategy was to provoke him and being an aggressive player, he could not resist aggressive moves, ones which I anticipated. There were lot of checkmating patterns arising in the game“. Replay all Gukesh’s games from the 2022 Chess Olympiad below
