    The Chess Player Still Having a Perfect Score in the 3Rd Indonesian Open

    The chess player still having a perfect score in the rd 3 Indonesian Open Chess Championship after four rounds of play is GM Ivan Ivanisevic (2632) from Serbia. On Saturday 12 October 2013 when two rounds were played, Ivanisevic won, in su ccession, against GM Darwin Laylo (2497) from the Philippines and GM Avetik Grigoryan (2577) from Armenia. As a result Ivanisevic stands alone at the head of the current tournament standings with 4 points!

GMs Alexander Moiseenko, Vaibhav Suri, Nigel Short, Vadim Malakhatko, john Paul Gomez, Aleksey Dreev, Gundavaa Bayarsaikhan, and Surya Sekhar Ganguly were therefore joined by GMs Antoaneta Stefanova and Igarza Renier Vazquez who had the only really quick draw and Hoang Thanh Trang who held off Jaan Ehlvest on 2.5/3. On board five GM Ivan Ivanesevic won against GM Darwin Laylo and on board eight the unfancied but very determined GM Avetik Grigoryan stopped giant killing local FM Anjas Novitas to take the lead and will play each other in Round 4.
  • First Gold to Eastern Europe

    First Gold to Eastern Europe

    Chief Editor: Jos Jacobs, Layout Editor: George Hatzidakis Bulletin 3 - Tuesday, 7 October 2008 FIRST GOLD TO EASTERN EUROPE Alexandra Kosteniuk On Sunday evening the first two national anthems were heard in the Convention Hall No. 3 of the BICC. They were the well-known hymn of the Russian Federation and the less well-known anthem of its neighbour state Ukraine. This was in celebration of the first two gold medals won at these 1st World Mind Sports Games. Both finals were a completely Eastern European affair. The countries of Eastern Europe have been dominating the world chess scene for many decades already, as was proved again here in Beijing.
