Aimchess Rapid Div 3 Winners

Kamen — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 20:18:43 +0000

The Aimchess Rapid, the 4th event on the $2 million 2023 Champions Chess Tour, features three Divisions of 8, 16 and 32 players. Each division is a double-elimination knockout where if you lose one match you drop down to a Losers bracket and can still win the tournament. In the Grand Final if the player from the Winners bracket loses, there’s a rematch. The total prize fund is $235,000, with a top prize of $30,000 (150 Tour points) in Division I, $10,000 in Division II (50 points) and $5,000 (20 points) in Division III. The top 3 in Division I and the winner of Division II qualify straight to Division I of the next event on the Tour. The time control for normal games is 15 minutes per player for all moves, with a 3-second increment each move. In Division I and II the Winners bracket matches are played over four games, while in the Losers bracket there are two games. In Division III all matches are over two games except the 4-game Grand Final. A tie in a match is decided by an Armageddon game with no increment, where the players bid for time they are willing to play with. The lowest bidder gets that time and can pick colour, while the opponent gets 15 minutes. Black only needs a draw to win the match.
In the Quarterfinals of Aimchess Rapid Div 3 Winners wll play the following pairs :
Quang Liem Le – Leinier Dominguez / Tuan Minh Le – Laurent Fressinet / Alexander Grischuk – Rauf Mamedov / Alan Pichot – Yangyi Yu

Arjun Erigaisi leads Satty Zhuldyz Chess Festival 2023

Sergio — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 06:17:37 +0000

300 children and youth of Kazakhstan began playing the Bibisara Assaubayeva Cup this morning, part of the Satty Zhuldyz Chess Festival 2023. Clocks were started at 11:00 local time with a ceremonial first move made by the Minister for Culture and Sport of Kazakhstan. The Minister awarded local star IM Bibisara Assaubayeva with the Honor of the Master of Sport on behalf of the Republic of Kazakhstan. “It’s a great pleasure to see and support the work of the Bibisara Assaubayeva Foundation and Satty Zhuldyz”, he said, “this is a welcome initiative to help develop the children and youth of Kazakhstan in chess.” He then made the ceremonial first move on the top board on both the U20 and U10 tournament. The children then played three rounds of the rapid, with several players currently in first place – with 14 year old IM Aldiyar Ansat currently in the lead of the U20 event on tie-break.

The first round of the Masters super-tournament began at 17:00 local time. There was a clash of former classical world champions, as Vladimir Kramnik was paired against Hou Yifan, with a ceremonial first move made by Ziyadin Malika, winner of the Kazakh Championship in her age group. Likewise, there was a clash of current and former Women’s Blitz World Champions as Bibisara Assaubayeva played Kateryna Lagno, with a ceremonial first move made by Kenenbay Alibi who won bronze medal in his age group in the National Championship.

In Round 1, Bibisara Assaubayeva had a lucky escape against Kateryna Lagno, as under time pressure Lagno’s winning position crumbled into a draw. Some of the veterans of the tournament, Boris Gelfand and Levon Aronian, both saw off the new Uzbek wunderkinds, Jakhongir Vakhidov and Javokhir Sindarov respectively.

In Round 2, players had zeroed in their sights – with 5 of 6 games being draws. The one decisive game was played between the Indian prodigy Arjun Erigaisi and the Uzbek prodigy Javokhir Sindarov. Despite Sindarov looking much better for most of the game, a fast time control allows blunders and mistakes to be made under time pressure – with Sindarov blundering his advantage and allowing Erigaisi to win.

Round 3 was also slightly less vicious than the first round – with Bibisara Assaubayeva drawing Vincent Keymer, Gelfand drawing against Lagno, and Grischuk drawing Aronian. Meanwhile, Arjun Erigaisi continued his hot streak with three wins in a row, beating Hou Yifan.

The final round of the day saw Arjun Erigaisi take the sole lead with an impressive 3.5 / 4, with a quick draw against Alexander Grischuk. He is a clear point ahead of second place, with both Boris Gelfand and Levon Aronian on 2.5 / 4. There is a large chasing pack on 2 / 4, including Bibisara Assaubayeva who came very close to an impressive victory over Vladimir Kramnik. However, the conversion of the position was not clear and provoked much analysis that lasted almost an hour, between the players and two other participants even after their game in a beautiful display of sportsmanship and respect for each other and the game.

Meanwhile, Javokhir Sindarov picked up his first win of the day against Kateryna Lagno – an important result for him after three losses. Hou Yifan likewise took a full point from Haik Martirosyan with a dominant and instructive control of the center.
