NEWSLETTER 148 (March 18, 2014) NEWSLETTER 148 (March 18, 2014) EICC 2014 – TITLE FOR MOTYLEV, YEREVAN GREAT HOST The 15th European Individual Chess Championship, which was dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the great Armenian chess player, the World 9th Champion Tigran Petrosian, has come to an end. The Championship started spectacularly, with a beautiful opening ceremony held on 2nd March 17, 2014, at the National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet in Yerevan/Armenia. A truly great chess atmosphere prevailed in the hall. The President of the Republic of Armenia, who doubles as the President of the Armenian Chess Federation, Serzh Sargsyan, FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the President of the European Chess Union Silvio Danailov, a number of state officials, over 260 chess players from 27 participating countries and a great number of chess lovers were present at the ceremony. © Ecuonline.net Page 1 We witnessed many surprises in the first round already, and during the whole tournament there was a lot of excitement and many great games. Many of the players achieved norms, some of them even after 9 rounds. After 11 exciting rounds Russian Grandmaster Alexander Motylev triumphed with 9 points, with 7 wins and 4 draws. He had a lousy start, as he drew with lower rated IM Ali Marandi Cemil Can (ELO 2380) from Turkey in the first round, but he won 5 games in the row and took the lead, which eventually turned into a title. In such a strong and long open tournament, everything was „open“. That's why it was difficult to predict who will win, or who were the favorites for the title. GM Motylev played a very solid tournament, managed to stay focused enough not to lose a single game, and these were some of the reasons why he won the title. As the crown of excellent organization came the closing ceremony of European Individual Chess Championship, which was held on 14th March at Elite Plaza Business Center in Yerevan. Mr. Ashot Vardapetyan, the Chief Arbiter of the Championship, announced the winners, while the trophies were awarded by Mr. Smbat Lputian, Chair of the Organizing Committee of the European Individual Chess Championhip. Yerevan and Armenia are well-known for being a very good host, which was proven once again with the organization of this tournament. © Ecuonline.net Page 2 Final Ranking – first 30 positions Rank Title Name Rtg FED Pts RtgØ 1 GM Motylev Alexander 2656 RUS 9 2633 2 GM Anton Guijarro David 2559 ESP 8 2644 3 GM Fedoseev Vladimir 2641 RUS 8 2642 4 GM Solak Dragan 2610 TUR 8 2632 5 GM Eljanov Pavel 2723 UKR 8 2630 6 GM Lupulescu Constantin 2643 ROU 8 2606 7 GM Navara David 2700 CZE 8 2604 8 GM Saric Ivan 2661 CRO 8 2546 9 GM Lysyj Igor 2655 RUS 8 2539 10 GM Melkumyan Hrant 2613 ARM 7½ 2651 11 GM Wojtaszek Radoslaw 2713 POL 7½ 2625 12 GM Jakovenko Dmitry 2723 RUS 7½ 2623 13 IM Artemiev Vladislav 2621 RUS 7½ 2614 14 GM Smirin Ilia 2644 ISR 7½ 2612 15 GM Fressinet Laurent 2709 FRA 7½ 2612 16 GM Sargissian Gabriel 2676 ARM 7½ 2607 17 GM Areshchenko Alexander 2705 UKR 7½ 2600 18 GM Perunovic Milos 2617 SRB 7½ 2598 19 GM Cheparinov Ivan 2681 BUL 7½ 2597 20 GM Iordachescu Viorel 2583 MDA 7½ 2596 21 GM Zhigalko Sergei 2671 BLR 7½ 2578 22 GM Ter-Sahakyan Samvel 2572 ARM 7½ 2558 23 GM Balogh Csaba 2651 HUN 7½ 2539 24 GM Oparin Grigoriy 2526 RUS 7½ 2508 25 GM Najer Evgeniy 2633 RUS 7 2656 26 GM Pashikian Arman 2612 ARM 7 2629 27 GM Grigoriants Sergey 2574 RUS 7 2616 28 GM Kryvoruchko Yuriy 2706 UKR 7 2608 29 GM Laznicka Viktor 2681 CZE 7 2601 30 GM Riazantsev Alexander 2689 RUS 7 2599 We are proud of the fact that it was dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the great Armenian chess player, the World 9th Champion Tigran Petrosian.
