Im Mittelpunkt steht bei jedem der Grand Prix-Turniere ein Ziel: durch eine Spitzenplatzierung einen der beiden Plätze für das WM-Kandidaten- turnier zu erhalten. K. Lagno schaffte es hier noch. Die deutsche Abonnement-Beste hatte für das Finale der Grand Prix-Serie nur noch eine eher theoretische Chance; für sie war ein gutes Turnierergebnis mit Sicherheit das primäre Ziel. Das ist ihr gelungen.

  • Q&A Session – , 1.5.2020 Lecture (Ukraine) 'S GM Anna Muzychuk
    GM Anna Muzychuk's (Ukraine) lecture, 1.5.2020 – Q&A Session Transcription: Yevgeny Levanzov Editing: Nir Klar First Topic – Being a Chess Player Esther: What helped you advance in chess and win throughout your career? Anna Muzychuk: There were a number of things that helped me advance in chess and it's actually a combination of several factors. First of all, I started playing at a very early age – when I was two years old! Also, from a very young age my parents invested a lot of time and worked very hard to help me obtain achievements. Another thing is the motivation you get when you start winning tournaments. I started winning Eur opean Championships for kids from the age of 6, the motivation boosts you continue working hard and win more competitions. Last but not least, If you like chess you just keep going. In other words, it's a combination of great passion and love for the game, hard work, and successes from the beginning of my career that pushed and motivated me. These are the 3 main things, in my opinion. Inbar: Do you consider yourself to be more of an attacking/tactical or more of a positional player? Anna Muzychuk: I addressed this earlier in a way. I am a more active player. I do not like playing defensively. I aim for an interesting game, initiative, combinations, attack, etc. Keren: Who is the player you most associate with his/her style of play? Anna Muzychuk: Maybe I'm wrong, but among the modern players I think that my style is most similar to the one of Fabiano Caruana.

    Junior Four Nations League - a report by Mike Truran This season’s competition was bigger and better than ever, with teams of all ages competing over three weekends in two separate divisions. Like its senior equivalent, the Junior Four Nations Chess League (J4NCL) has the advantage of taking place in excellent qual- ity playing conditions in premier hotels across the UK. This season’s competition took place at Barcelo UK’s flagship Hinckley Island Hotel, so parents could also have a relaxing week- end away at a top four-star hotel while their children locked horns over the chess board. And with bedrooms and meals at the usual discounted 4NCL rates it meant that a family weekend away wasn’t going to break the bank either. 1 As well as the high quality playing conditions, the J4NCL and winning team members being presented with medals differentiates itself from most other junior events in and a trophy. So everyone got something to take home as offering free structured coaching between rounds for all a memento. the children, and the coaches also go through games on a one-to-one basis with any juniors who finish their games The standard of the chess was generally excellent, and early. This season’s coaches (GM Nick Pert, IM Andrew various parents commented on how much better many of Martin and WFM Sabrina Chevannes) did a fine job; on the juniors were playing by the third weekend compared occasion the job seemed (to this observer at least) to be as with the first. Children do of course improve fast at this much an exercise in riot control as anything else, but the age, but we like to think that the J4NCL coaching had coaches all came through in grand style and we had lots of something to do with it as well! Nonetheless, in any event compliments from parents about the quality of the coach- with a range of chess playing ability some memorable ing.
