Gigantic Suitcase

A great period will start for me soon, one which I can't wait to begin!

I haven't played chess so much lately, my last tournament was somewhere in the middle of May... I was caught with lots of exams at University (don't mean to gloat- but I passed all of them and now-I'm officially in my last year of Uni ).

A difficult task is now to be solved- how to pack a suitcase for 2 months? :))) I will go to the EIWCC in Plovdiv on the 4th of July, then a little vacation in Greece, after that- Olympiad and Turkish League, and I will be back home in September The difficult part about it is that the Olympiad will be held in Norway, Tromsø, where it's more an early spring than a real summer in August.

A nice attacking game by Fabiano Caruana, who intuitively sacrificed two pawns for longterm compensation.

Wednesday, 25 June 2014


The 5th edition of Danzou super tournament is underway in China (June 25 - July 5, round robin). Previously only Chinese players used to participate in it, but this time ex-FIDE World Chess Champion Ruslan Ponomariov and German #1 player Arkadij Naiditsch have been invited as well. Notable absentees are Wang Hao (2729), Wang Yue (2713) and Li Chao (2711). Could it be a qualification event for the upcoming Chess Olympiad in Norway? Who knows.

The time control is 90m/40 moves, another 30m added after move 40, 30s/move increment starting from move one. The official prize fund is 320,000 yuan (roughly $50,000).

Round 1 results:

Ding Liren (2714) - Zhao Jun (2603), 1-0
Arkadij Naiditsch (2705) - Xiu Deshun (2550), 1/2-1/2
Bu Xiangzhi (2693) - Ma Qun (2609), 1-0
Wey Yi (2634) - Yu Yangyi (2675), 1/2-1/2
Ruslan Ponomariov (2723) - Zhou Weiqi (2601), 1/2-1/2
