London Chess Classic Day 9 Round-Up
13th December 2015 LONDON CHESS CLASSIC DAY 9 ROUND-UP Yesterday’s round-up predicted it could be a late night at the Olympia Conference Centre on the last day of the London Chess Classic, but little did the fans know they were in for a high intensity 10-hour chess marathon. Magnus Carlsen, winner of the London Chess Classic and of the Grand Chess Tour The final and decisive round had started at the usual 2 pm weekend kick-off time and, for the seventh time in the tournament, there were four draws and one decisive result. Adams-Caruana, Aronian-Vachier Lagrave, Anand-Giri and Nakamura-Topalov were all balanced draws. The one decisive result (which was incidentally also the last game to finish) was crucial as Magnus Carlsen ultimately got the better of Alexander Grischuk. Carlsen was very lucky as Grischuk first missed a promising continuation with 30...Rxg4, then a forced draw, before sacrificing a rook for a non- existent perpetual check. Both players made the same oversight. This last-gasp win enabled Carlsen to join Giri and Vachier-Lagrave in the lead and thus force a 3-way play-off. As stipulated by the official regulations, ‘The two players placed lowest on tiebreak shall contest a two game Rapidplay match at a time limit of Game / 25 mins + 5 secs / move throughout’, which meant Giri and Vachier- Lagrave would have to face off first for the right to challenge Carlsen for tournament victory. In the first game, Giri opted for a Berlin (another one!) with the black pieces and played a perfect game to score an all-important victory. -

Unfortunately, the denial of a player to play a game was not the only negative in the story. The action was promoted at the highest level, the player becomes an example who fulfilled his dream to meet the country leader and the message of hate was sent through chess is clear enough. There is a view till now with many supporters, even in official positions, that tolerating these actions, we protect and give the chance to more people to play chess as also more states to support financially our sport. ECU Secretary General Theodoros Tsorbatzoglou But is this our role in chess? When we adjust in silence our rules, we do not the same time justify and these policies? We do not encourage, political leaders or chief priests of any religion or extreme groups to apply more rules for us and promote their hate policies through sports? European Chess Union has its seat in Switzerland, Address: Rainweidstrasse 2, CH-6333, Hunenberg If we wish a "fair play" in chess, is not enough to strengthen our anti- See, Switzerland cheating measures. We should maintain an equal opportunities policy and European Chess Union is an independent discriminatory free environment, adopting related policies. -
