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. -

IN THIS ISSUE - ECF News 2-4 Grand Prix 11-12 Tournament Round-Up 5-6 Book Reviews 13 Junior Chess 7-8 Supplement --- BCC 9 Chess Editorial 4-6 1 ECF NEWS Tradewise agree generous funding to assist English chess The English Chess Federation and the Tradewise Insurance Company are pleased to announce that Tradewise have agreed generous funding to assist English chess. Building on its sponsorship of the Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival – acclaimed as the world’s leading open chess tournament pioneering women’s participation – Tradewise will now be sponsoring the English Chess Federation, in order to enable — 1) The Hastings International Chess Congress, the world’s oldest tournament, to continue as a fixture in English chess heritage; 2) The ECF Grand Prix to incorporate new prizes for club players, and incentives for female participation; 3) Assistance for promising players to earn international title norms in England Tradewise Chairman James Humphreys stated, “This is a great step forwards in the modernising of chess sponsor- ship. All with a motor vehicle must purchase insurance, and with every policy purchased via Tradewise 64, the greater the benefit for the world of chess. I sincerely believe this initiative is one that will be noticed, and applaud the ECF for making this happen” ECF President Dominic Lawson remarked, “I am delighted my initial discussions with James Humphreys, during the recent Tradewise Open in Gibraltar, have ultimately led to this agreement, which will safeguard the Hastings tour- nament – a fixture on the international chess scene since 1895” Tradewise will become the English Chess Federation’s official insurance provider. -

Copa Do Mundo 2013
P4R.COM.BR O site do Xadrez - 1/6 COPA DO MUNDO 2013 Entre 10 de agosto e 03 de setembro está sendo disputada a Copa do Mundo de Xadrez, na cidade de Tromsø, Noruega, local onde os dias duram bastante. Participam 128 enxadristas de diversas partes do mundo, entre eles os astros Levon Aronian e Vladimir Kramnik. Tromsø e o sol da meia-noite O sol da meia noite é um fenômeno natural observado em locais que ficam ao norte do Círculo Polar Ártico ou ao sul do Círculo Polar Antártico, onde o sol fica visível durante as 24 horas do dia, nos solstícios de verão e inverno, respectivamente. Quanto mais próximo se chega dos pólos, o número de dias com o sol da meia noite vai aumentando. Visto que a área polar do hemisfério sul é pouquíssimo habitada, povoada somente por uns poucos pesquisadores e militares, as regiões habitadas onde se pode ver esse fenômeno estão todas no hemisfério norte: Alaska, Canadá, Groelândia, Noruega, Suécia, Finlândia, Rússia e o extremo norte da Islândia. Visão do centro da cidade, com o porto ao fundo.
