Resta il fatto che l'Italia è stata una delle protagoniste del campionato europeo senior a squadre, disputato quest'anno a Rogaska Slatina (Slovenia) dal 27 marzo al 4 aprile. Protagonista al punto che, opposta al terzo turno sulla prima scacchiera alla corazzata Russia '1', da sempre dominatrice del torneo, ha imposto un sorprendente 2-2, rimanendo in corsa per il podio fino all'ultimo turno: quando, purtroppo, i sogni degli azzurri si sono infranti contro il più quotato Montenegro (nella foto la sfida) , che si è imposto 3-1. Tutti i componenti della squadra italiana, comunque, hanno contribuito a conseguire un ottimo quinto posto, che migliora di altre due posizioni il settimo ottenuto lo scorso anno in Grecia: Stefano Tatai ha totalizzato 5 punti su 9 in prima scacchiera (praticamente su 8, visto che al secondo turno ha perso senza giocare), Sergio Mariotti 4 su 8 in seconda, poi Carlo Micheli 6 su 9, Antonio Rosino 3,5 su 6 e Giuseppe Valenti 2,5 su 4.

  • GM Yu Yangyi from China Now Leading Alone with 4,5 Point and Rating Performance 2858! 2Nd Indonesia Open Chess Championship 2012
    Kristianus Liem GM Yu Yangyi from China now leading alone with 4,5 point and rating performance 2858! 2nd Indonesia Open Chess Championship 2012 Inside This Issue: Cover 1 Inside This Issue 2 Today’s Review 2 Behind these bulletin : Prizes 3 Kristianus Liem Peter Long Results Round 4 4 Stefani Dian Cheri Virda Rizka Aulia Results Round 5 5 Evi Lindiawati Interview with Player : Jan Ehlvest 7 Tournament Schedule 9 Pictures Gallery 10 Games 13 Today’s Review China’s Yu Yangyi Sole Leader Today was the second of the three days with double rounds but there was little letup by the players with the majority of games going all the way. We now have a sole leader on 4.5/5 in China's Yu Yangyi who beat the Russian GM Dimitri Bocharov with the black pieces in the top board match up. Several players had the chance to match that score but the draws by Lu Shanglei, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, Surya Sekhar Ganguly, Avetik Grigorian and Merab Ganunashvili allowed Li Chao, a convincing winner over Dao Thien Hai, Ivan Sokolov who downed Xiu Deshun, and Boris Chatalbashev who beat Marat Dzhumaev to be the eight players in second place half a point behind on 4/5. Local hope Susanto Megaranto remained in contention with an unbeaten 3.5/5 after full blooded battle with IM Oliver Dimakiling that ended in a draw. They are joined by Bocharov, John Paul Gomez, Viorel Iordachescu, Wei Yi, Vladislav Tkachiev, Oleg Korneev, Ehsan Ghaem Maghami, Xu Jun, Nguyen Duc Hoa, Wang Chen, and Wan Yunguo.
