Very excited for round 3 of Tata Steel tomorrow

Caruana vs Gukesh is a huge matchup. A big challenge for the young champion and with them leading the tournament so far, its going to be must watch.

Arjun vs Pragg should be fun, a bit of a rough start for Arjun so far and Pragg is a tough opponent. Should see some fireworks in that one.

Keymer vs Wei Yi is also one to watch for. Keymer's resiliency (and a bit of luck) has him tied for first but Wei Yi is a very strong opponent who is still looking for his first win in the event.

[ad_1] Arjun Erigaisi and Pentala Harikrishna at the Tata Steel Chess (PC: Tata Steel Chess/X) Hidden beneath the one-two finish by R Praggnanandhaa and D Gukesh at the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands are the exploits of two other Indians. They finished way down the ladder in the 14-player elite event, but snatched crucial points at critical stages, which tilted the balance in favour of the top two. Without those, this may not have happened. As things unfolded gradually in the town of Wijk Aan Zee, Nodirbek Abdusattorov of Uzbekistan emerged the biggest threat for eventual champion Pragg and runner-up Gukesh, who were either on top or near the top of the table for most part of the tournament. Slovenia’s Vladimir Fedoseev was also close on the heels of the leaders until the last three rounds. World No. 2 Fabiano Caruana of the USA and defending champion Wei Yi were off-colour in this event. This is where Arjun Erigaisi and Pentala Harikrishna — who finished 10th and seventh — made an impact. They were never in contention and Arjun spent most of his time at the bottom of the field. However, they pulled off results against the tide that helped the Indian cause. Both Pragg and Gukesh benefited from what Arjun and Harikrishna did towards the end of the 13-round event. After Pragg eliminated Fedoseev from title contention with a comprehensive win in the 10th round, Abdusattorov was the lone man challenging the Indians. At the end of the 11th round, Gukesh was leading with eight points. The Uzbek World No. 6 and Pragg were half-a-point behind. Abdusattorov was going great guns and had drawn with Gukesh despite keeping the world champion under tremendous pressure in a sixth-round encounter played over nearly six hours. Winless until then with a record of seven draws and four defeats, Arjun almost ensured an Indian one-two by beating Abdusattorov. It was the only defeat that arguably the performer of the tournament until then suffered. It was a massive outcome. In a clash of the present and future of chess, the 21-year-old put behind a nightmarish previous few days and took down his high-flying opponent aged 20. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Arjun Erigaisi and R Praggnanandhaa (Image: Tata Steel Chess) It was almost 90 per cent certain that the title was coming to India after that game. Gukesh and Pragg were joint-leaders with 8.5 points apiece. Abdusattorov was a full point behind. But the remaining 10 per cent said that if the two Indians lost in the final round and the Uzbek won, it would go to a tie-breaker between the three. Arjun once again provided a twist to the tale by putting it across Gukesh in just 22 moves. It was a significant result not only taking into account the impact it made. It was the first defeat for the 18-year-old after he became the youngest-ever world champion. Pragg lost to Vincent Keymer of Germany in a marathon battle. It was exactly what Abdusattorov would have hoped for. In another twist, Harikrishna denied Abdusattorov a shot at the crown. Having won three, drawn six and lost three of his previous 12 games, the veteran held the player in form with black pieces. It happened after Gukesh had lost and before Pragg did. This draw made sure that the top two would be Indians. Harikrishna was the underdog, and yet, it wouldn’t have been as smooth had he lost. Tata Steel chess 2025 will be remembered for a historic Indian one-two. It was a continuation of the march which changed the world order in 2024. The point to note is that Indians were the winners as well as the king-makers. Gukesh and Pragg may not have been champion and runner-up without the contributions of Arjun and Harikrishna. This is depth. In other words, teamwork.

Carlsen wins the last big chess competition he’s never won before

Except for this chess competition, Magnus Carlsen has won everything under the sun—at least up until this point. The Norwegian phenom has finally added the final missing feather to his cap with a nearly faultless run through the knockout bracket that culminated in a matchup against 18-year-old Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa in the grand final, even as he reiterated his continued lack of interest in taking part in the world championship cycle. The chess world has long run out of superlatives when it comes to Magnus Carlsen. He is the highest-rated player in the world right now, with the highest all-time peak rating to boot, having topped the charts for 158 consecutive months—admittedly still a far cry from Garry Kasparov’s 255. He is also one of the select few to have become world chess champions, and he’s defended his classical title on five separate occasions before abdicating in 2022, citing a lack of interest in the super-slow format. Perhaps to underscore the point, he’s also reclaimed both the rapid and the blitz world champion titles in the same year. From prestigious invite-only super tournaments to the biggest of open competitions, Carlsen has won them all—with one exception. The FIDE World Cup (not to be confused with the world championship) is a special affair, an eight-round single-elimination bout that pits the players against each other in back-to-back matches in classical time control before moving to faster tiebreakers all the way to three-minute games with two-second increments. Carlsen’s had a topsy-turvy history with the tournament in the past. At a young age, he declined to attend on multiple occasions, and later on, regulations barred him from participating when he was the world champion. Last year, he crashed out in the semis against young Polish upstart Jan-Krzysztof Duda. 2023, however, would prove to be the Norwegian’s year. The world No. 1’s run featured a solitary defeat in the classical portion along the way, and he scored notable victories against the new generation’s emerging players, dispatching Vincent Keymer and Gukesh D along the way before facing Pragg in the grand final, where he steered the classical games to two draws while battling with food poisoning, then decisively defeating his young Indian opponent in the rapid playoffs. https://twitter.com/MagnusCarlsen/status/1694683166462672968 He has also confirmed along the way that he has no interest in participating in the Candidates Tournament, the event that decides the next world championship challenger, clearing up at least some of the concerns and considerations involved with the drama. Now, all three other semifinalists can be safe in the knowledge that they’ve earned themselves a spot—something that made the third-place decider between Fabiano Caruana and hometown hero Najit Abasov a little less intriguing than it otherwise would have been. After falling behind in game one, the American grandmaster managed to strike back and fully turn the tides in the rapid games to secure himself the bronze. Over in the women’s section, IM Nurgyul Salimova won the event as the 29th seed and immediately earned herself the grandmaster title for her troubles. Read the full article

Tin ieuro2020: Quang Liêm lại thua Carlsen

Lê Quang Liêm khởi đầu không tốt ở ngày đầu giải cờ nhanh online Generation Cup, khi chỉ kiếm hai trên 12 điểm tối đa tối 18/9.

Xem thêm:  Clip bàn thắng

Kể từ khi hạ Carlsen ở Esports Cup tại Oslo, Na Uy hôm 23/4, Quang Liêm đã thua hai ván liên tiếp trước kỳ thủ số một thế giới. Ở vòng bốn Generation Cup, kỳ thủ số một Việt Nam có lợi thế cầm quân trắng, nhưng rơi vào thế thua sau khai cuộc trước Carlsen. Ván đấu mang nặng tính chiến lược và vị trí đúng với sở trường của Quang Liêm, nhưng anh vẫn không tránh khỏi thất bại sau 43 nước cờ.

Thất bại này khép lại ngày thi đáng quên với kỳ thủ TP HCM. Anh hoà hai ván đầu trước Radoslaw Wojtaszek (Ba Lan) và Vincent Keymer (Đức). Ở ván ba, Quang Liêm đạt ưu thế thắng trong thế cờ nặng tính chiến thuật trước Erigaisi Arjun, nhưng anh tính toán không tốt và thua ngược.

Sau bốn ván, Quang Liêm đứng thứ 14 trên 16 kỳ thủ dự giải. Vẫn còn 11 ván phía trước cho anh tìm mạch thắng và vươn lên Top 8 để vào tứ kết. Quang Liêm đang kém vị trí thứ tám của Anish Giri ba điểm, tương đương một ván thắng.

Carlsen đang độc chiếm đỉnh bảng với 10 điểm, khi anh thắng Erigaisi, Adhiban Baskaran, Quang Liêm và hoà Anish Giri. Có bốn kỳ thủ đang được chín điểm, gồm Praggnanandhaa Ramesbabu, Vasyl Ivanchuk, Hans Niemann và Erigaisi.

Trong ngày thi thứ hai bắt đầu lúc 23h thứ ba 19/9, giờ Hà Nội, Quang Liêm lần lượt gặp Adhiban, Giri, David Navara và Niemann. Còn Carlsen lần lượt đấu Navara, Niemann, Levon Aronian và Praggnanandhaa. Tâm điểm ngày đấu là cặp Niemann - Carlsen.

Generation Cup là chặng thường của Champions Chess Tour, chia làm hai giai đoạn. Giai đoạn một từ 18/9 đến 21/9, các kỳ thủ đấu vòng tròn một lượt 15 ván cờ nhanh. Tám kỳ thủ điểm cao ở vòng này sẽ phân nhánh đấu loại trực tiếp từ 22/9 đến 25/9. Quỹ thưởng của giải là 150.000 USD, trong đó 25.000 USD trao cho quán quân.

[ad_1] R Praggnanandhaa and D Gukesh at Tata Steel Masters (Image: @tatasteelchess) Shortly after midnight (IST), R Praggnanandhaa had a non-committal, neutral look on his face, probably not believing what he had just achieved. At the opposite end of the board, D Gukesh sank in his chair, head tilted skywards, with a blank stare. The Tata Steel chess tournament in Wijk Aan Zee was all about India on a manic Sunday. The main protagonists were still to come to terms with it. In an eventful meet in the serene town in northern Netherlands featuring 14 players including five from the world’s top-10, Indians reigned supreme. Pragg claimed the title of his career and Gukesh came agonisingly close to following up his World Championship triumph with another in the very next outing. Both lost their final games and still made it to the tie-breaker for the top spot as joint-leaders after 13 rounds. It was the longest day of his life for the 18-year-old Pragg. He saw Gukesh lose against Arjun Erigaisi and soon found himself in trouble. Germany’s Vincent Keymer had a clear edge with white and the Indian could do little but defend. He did that for a long time and lost after nearly seven hours of struggle. Before the tie-breaker, which took place about 10 minutes after Pragg’s game, he was exhausted. Gukesh was fresher because his game had lasted just 22 moves. Recovering from his first defeat as world champion, Gukesh won the first blitz game with white. Playing for survival, Pragg came back with a win with white in the next one. This began the sudden-death, where the first winner would clinch the crown. Things happened at electric speed and Gukesh was soon seen ruing a blunder. It was Pragg’s day in the end by the thinnest of margins. On dramatic final day at #TataSteelChess, @rpraggnachess beats world champion D Gukesh in a tie-breaker to win the title. Pentala Harikrishna plays key role by holding nearest contender Nodirbek Abdusattorov in the last round @atreyom @tatasteelchess https://t.co/y5eQVViuKP — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) February 2, 2025   On a cheeky note, Pragg thanked his good friend Arjun for keeping him in the hunt by beating Gukesh. “Should probably buy something for Arjun, yeah? I didn’t really expect it,” Pragg told the official channel on a lighter note. “At some point, I felt Gukesh was better. When I saw the result, I had already misplayed it. I was in such a difficult position that I could not really do much other than sit and defend,” said the player, who was overshadowed by Gukesh and Arjun in 2024. Pragg began the event, also called the ‘Wimbledon of chess’, with a draw against Uzbekistan’s Nodirbek Abdusattorov, who was close on the heels of the Indians until the end. He did well to remain unbeaten until the ninth round. After that defeat against Anish Giri of the Netherlands, he bounced back with three straight wins, including one against World No. 2 Fabiano Caruana of USA. “When I came here, I wanted to win the event. But the field was very strong. I didn’t really think about it much until yesterday. Can’t really express… I’m really happy,” said the World No. 14 in the January rankings. He is certain to be back in the top 10 after this. “Last year, I wasn’t going my way, and I was quite motivated for this tournament. The fans were always there for me. Huge thanks to all the fans,” said the first Indian after Viswanathan Anand to win this event.   Other than being Pragg’s biggest competition win, this edition of the prestigious Tata Steel event will also be remembered for the domination shown by the Indians. After a stupendous 2024, they were carrying the pressure of expectations. There was a reputation to protect. By claiming the top two spots in the year’s first elite meet, the Indians have shown that last year was no flash in the pan. A 19-year-old winning this crown and an 18-year-old finishing second is a testament of strength of the powerful pool India possesses. These things don’t happen every now and then.

Add to this the 21-year-old Arjun, who finished a disappointing outing with wins in his last two games against the best players and impacted the outcome. It also gives an idea of what the chess world is coming to terms with.

GRENKE Chess 3: Svidler catches Carlsen

[ad_1]

Peter Svidler beat Georg Meier to join Magnus Carlsen in the GRENKE Chess Classic lead after the World Champion allowed Vishy Anand to escape twice over the course of another six-hour marathon. Fabiano Caruana was the day’s other winner, but the world no. 2 flirted with defeat until 14-year-old Vincent Keymer cracked in the run-up to the time control. The other games were drawn, but…
