The format, as is normal, comprised Open and Women’s sections, with matches contested over four boards, chosen from squads of five players. The final standings after 11 rounds were determined by team match points. A total of over 300 teams competed in what was one of the largest of such events in recent years. In the Open section, sixth seeds England, sponsored by Jupiter Asset Management, were represented in board order by Michael Adams, David Howell, Luke McShane, Gawain Jones and Nigel Short, accompanied by Peter Wells (coach) and Malcolm Pein (captain). Russia, led by Karjakin and Kramnik, were seeded first, followed by the USA, including for the first time Caruana and So, and reigning champions China. In the Women’s event, the participation of Hou Yifan made China favourites, with Baku’s Crystal Hall was certainly an impressive sight, both internally and externally. However, trips Ukraine, including both Muzychuks, and to the toilet and certain searches by the arbiters were to prove somewhat more problematic. Russia the next seeds. The England team consisted of Jovanka Houska, Dagne banned from the playing hall (sensibly, the IBCA and Indonesia.

  • Es Nouvelles Du Championnat Belle Démonstration De Son Envie D'en Découdre
    86e championnat de France d’échecs Au fil des rondes... EN PISTE... Ils sont quatre à se détacher, avec une demi-longueur d'avance, au terme de cette 2e journée du National : Laurent Fressinet, Etienne Bacrot, Hicham Hamdouchi et Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Comme la veille, la deuxième ronde s'est achevée sur 2 résultats décisifs et quatre parties nulles. Si trois de ces dernières affichaient une volonté de ne pas trop forcer "entre amis" et se sont donc conclues rapidement, ce n'était pas le cas de la partie qui a opposé Emmanuel Bricard à Laurent Fressinet, et qui a tenu en haleine les spectateurs de l’amphithéâtre et de la salle de commentaires au "Chess Café". Il est probable que le champion de France 2010 a raté plusieurs opportunités : notamment, selon lui, il fallait jouer 23… Rf7 au lieu de 23…Txc8. Ce qui est certain, c'est qu'Emmanuel Bricard, un joueur pas facile à affronter et atypique, a su saisir ses meilleures chan- ces pour arracher la nulle, comme hier face à Shchekachev. Dans sa partie contre Andreï Shchekachev, Etienne Bacrot a offert au public une es nouvelles du championnat belle démonstration de son envie d'en découdre.

  • Right of Reply in Reply to the Armenian Delegation Statement Which Was Full
    Statement by the Delegation of Azerbaijan Human Dimension Implementation Meeting Working Session 13: Fundamental Freedoms I (freedom of movement) Warsaw, 27 September 2016 As delivered by Fidan Mahmudova Embassy of Azerbaijan to Poland Right of reply In reply to the Armenian delegation statement which was full of groundless accusations against my country, we wish to state that Armenia bears the responsibility for unleashing the war against Azerbaijan, by using force occupied twenty percent of Azerbaijan’s territories and carried out ethnic cleansing and committing other atrocious crimes. With regard to the 8-year old boy, who was travelling to Baku, we call on the Armenian delegate to end disseminating inaccurate information, as Luka was accompanied by his mother who did not possess travel permission for the child from his father which is required for individuals travelling under the age of 18 (the permission of both parents is required). Furthermore, Armenians and people of Armenian origin do not face any obstacles entering Azerbaijan. Thus, Armenian delegation participated in the First European Games held in Baku last year. In their interview Armenian sportsmen expressed their satisfaction with the participation. If there were any problems, they would have never participated in the next such kind of events. We also wish to state that last year the Armenian delegation took part in the chess competition which also was held in Baku in 2015. And finally, we’d like to remind the Armenian delegation that the Azerbaijani President personally awarded the sportsman of Armenian origin during 1st European Games in 2015 who won the second prize.
