The Julius Baer Generation Cup, the 5th 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.

Julius Baer Generation Cup Div 2 Winners Round of 16 are Ian Nepomniachtchi – Maksim Chigaev, Andrey Esipenko – Vladimir Fedoseev, Eduardo Iturrizaga Bonelli – Aydin Suleymanli, Nodirbek Yakubboev – Bassem Amin, Aleksey Dreev – Laurent Fressinet, Vladislav Artemiev – Evgeny Alekseev, Rauf Mamedov – Levon Aronian and Alexey Sarana – Nihal Sarin.

Alexey Sarana is European Individual Chess Champion 2023

Sergio — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 01:53:56 +0000

GM Alexey Sarana is the new European Individual Chess Champion 2023! The thrilling last round of the championship determined the medalists. GM Alexey Sarana (FIDE, 2668) and GM Kirill Shevchenko (ROU, 2668) met each other in the direct last-round encounter for the first place. The game finished in a draw after one hour of play, and the two youngsters waited for other results and tiebreak criteria to see the final standings.

GM Daniel Dardha (BEL, 2610) defeated GM Anton Korobov (UKR, 2658) to score 8.5 points and joined Sarana and Shevchenko on the top. For most of the game, Dardha held the equality, but Korobov pushed too hard for a win and eventually dove into troubles without the possibility to escape.

GM Dardha: I am excited about crossing the 2600 mark
