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.

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.
