  • Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017
    Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017 Monday 23 January - Thursday 2 February 2017 Round 6 Report: Sunday 29 January 2017 - by John Saunders (@JohnChess) Battle Royal on the Rock Round six of the Tradewise Gibraltar Masters proved remarkably bloodthirsty as the top seven boards (and fifteen of the top twenty boards) ended in decisive results. Three leaders emerged victorious from the smoking carnage to stand together on 5½/6: Hikaru Nakamura, still on course for a third successive title, English number one Mickey Adams, and Spain's 21-year-old star David Anton Guijarro. But the highlight of the day was the defeat of the world number two Fabiano Caruana by a reinvigorated Nigel Short. Maxime Lagarde of France seemed to have good chances of holding against Nakamura until about move 28 when 28...c4 would have been an improvement but, slightly short of time, he allowed this important pawn to drop off and resigned when his a-pawn was similarly doomed. Hikaru Nakamura playing Maxime Lagarde After playing and defeating the women's world champion the previous round Mickey Adams found himself up against the women's world number two Ju Wenjun today. I believe I proffered some advice about not taking Ju Wenjun's e-pawn in an earlier report. In fact, Mickey did do this but only after the e-pawn had captured and become a d5-pawn. I'm not sure whether that counts. Anyway, Mickey was already well on course for victory by the time this occurred and he later expressed relief that he finally managed a shorter game than his previous marathon encounters.

  • Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017
    Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017 Monday 23 January - Thursday 2 February 2017 Round 3 Report: Thursday 26 January 2017 - by John Saunders (@JohnChess) How to Draw with Your Dad Nine players – Mickey Adams (England), Nikita Vitiugov, Vadim Zvjaginsev (both Russia), Sam Shankland (USA), Eduardo Iturrizaga (Venezuela), Emil Sutovsky (Israel), Maxime Lagarde (France), Kacper Piorun (Poland) and Ju Wenjun (China) – share the lead on 3/3 after another tough round of chess in the Tradewise Gibraltar Masters at the Caleta Hotel in Gibraltar. The elite 2700+ players are still finding it very hard to impose themselves on the group of players rated 200 or 300 points below. Veselin Topalov picked up this point in his master class on Wednesday, stating that these days there is little or no difference in the quality of the first 10 to 15 opening moves between 2300-rated players and the elite. So the big names have to work harder to get their points, perhaps adopting a Carlsen-style approach, avoiding long, forcing lines in the opening and outplaying their opponents in endgames. This has been exemplified in Gibraltar by the only two 2700+ rated players to figure in the group on 3/3, namely Adams and Vitiugov, who have been grinding out the wins in long games. Mickey Adams ground out a long win against Bogdan-Daniel Deac (Romania) Perhaps the most enjoyable game for the audience in round three was the battle between Peter Svidler and Nitzan Steinberg. The 18-year-old IM from Israel has made quite an impression in Gibraltar, drawing with the second seed Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and now the sixth seed.
