Christmas Games

NM Maga vs Sol Cruz

Training Simul on Sicilian Defence (45'-30')
MERALCO, Pasig City

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6
Sicilian Najdorf Variation.

6.Be3 e6
This is Kasparov's pet line: Short-Kasparov in London 1987 and Belfort 1988, Topalov-Kasparov in Moscow Olympiad 1994, Anand-Kasparov in Dos Hermanas 1996, Shirov-Kasparov in Linares 1998, Timman-Kasparov in Wijk aan Zee 1999, Adams-Kasparov in Sarajevo 2000, Anand-Kasparov in Fujitsu 2000, Polgar-Kasparov in Linares 2001, Shirov-Kasparov in Astana 2001, Adams-Kasparov in Linares 2002, and Anand-Kasparov in USSR vs World 2002.

7. f3 Be7
This position was played in Short-Kasparov in Belfort 1988, Morozevich-Short in Sarajevo 1999, Kramnik-Leko in Dortmund 2003, Leko-Morozevich in World Championship 2005.

Black can play 7... Nbd7 as in Short-Kasparov in London 1987 and 7... b5 as in Polgar-Kasparov in Zuerich 2006.

8. g4
This position was played in Svidler-Bologan in European Cup 2003 and Spoelman-L' Ami in Wijk aan Zee 2005.

8... h6
Bologan replied with 8... Nc6 while L' Ami played O-O.

9. Qd2 Nbd7 10. Bc4 Ne5 11. Bb3 Qc7 12. Qe2 b5 13.Rg1 Nc4 14. Bxc4 Qxc4 15. Qxc4 bxc4 16. h4 Rb8 17. O-O-O



17... d5?
The blunder move. Correct is either Bb7 or Bd7, which keeps the position equal.

18. g5 +-
Rybka rates this as +1.99. Thus, the rest is just a matter of technique - meaning: end is near.

PH chessers slam India, play China for gold medal

by Ed Andaya

Thursday, 25 November 2010 20:45

GUANGZHOU, China –  In a performance worthy of the gold medal, the Philippines brought down India, 2.5-1.5 , to set up a keenly-awaited showdown against host China  in the 16th  Asian Games chess competitions at the Guangzhou Chess Institute. GMs Rogelio Antonio, Jr. and Eugene Torre  pulled off similar hard-earned triumphs, while GM John Paul Gomez  came through with the much-needed  draw  to  clinch the victory that mattered most for the Filipinos  on the penultimate day of competitions in this quadrennial meet,  dubbed as the  ‘Olympics of Asia.’ The win enabled the sixth-seeded  Filipinos to arrange a gold medal match against  China, which edged Iran, 2.5-1.5, on the lone victory by GM Wang Yue over GM Morteza Mahjoob. India and Iran will dispute the bronze  medal. Antonio,  who was reinstated to the  team  at the last-minute to bolster the country’s chances for the gold medal,  came through with an inspring victory over  GM Krishan Sasikiran  in 75 moves of the  Sicilian defense. And Torre, the most recognizable figure in local chess since becoming Asia’s first-ever  GM in Nice, France in 1974,  capped the Flipinos’ day of triumph by humbling GM G.N. Gopal in 50 moves of the King’s Indian defense. Gomez agreed to a draw with GM Surya Shekhar Ganguly  in 66 moves of the French defense. The smashing victories by Antonio and Torre and the  draw by Gomez came  after GM Wesley So lost his top-board match to GM Pentalah Harikrishna in  only 31 moves of  another King’s Indian. “It was a big day for Philippine chess,” said National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) president/chairman Prospero “Butch” Pichay . “I salute  GMs Joey and Eugene for taking up the cudgels for the team after Wesley’s  setback. Now, it’s time to set our sights for the gold medal match against China  tomorrow (Friday),” said  Pichay. NCFP secretary-general and Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino  congratulatd the  Filipinos for their  second straight narrow victory over India, but urged them to  “play even harder to win the gold medal against China.” Antonio, who played white,  turned a slight initiative into a  crushing victory  over the higher-rated Sasikiran in their  thrilling board-two encounter. The 48-year-old pride of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro forced  the Indian champion  to give up his rook for a knight on the 35th move and  steered the match into  an endgame where he had a rook, bishop and  four pawns against his opponent’s two bishops and five pawns. When the end came,  Antonio is  poised to capture Sasikiran’s  remaining pawn  to set the stage for an unstoppable advance of his two pawns on the fourth and fifth ranks. It was a fitting vindication for Antonio, who was nearly stripped of his  place in the team  following misunderstanding  with the federation. But he was immediately reinstated to the team after a heart-to-heart talk with Pichay a few weeks before the team’s departure to Guangzhou. Equally impressive was Torre, who was inserted as the fifth member of the team. The 59-year-old veteran campaigner from Quezon City kept Gopal on the edge of his seat for most of the match and capitalized on  the Indian’s horrendous blunder  on the 48 th  move where he lost his queen on a discovered check. The  higher-rated Gopal (ELO 2609) resigned immediately. But  while Antonio and Torre weaved their old magic, So came up empty-handed this time. So played one of his worst games in years, losing to Harikrishna in 31 moves of  the King’s Indian defense. The 17-year-old Filipino champion blundered with his queen move on the 23rd move, allowing the higher-rated Indian player to capture one of his two rooks. Sensing victory, Harikrishna  went for the kill with his active rooks and bishop, gobbling up  So’s remaining rook and knight  to force the Filipino champion to resign. When the end came, Harikrishna had a queen,  two rooks, bishop, and four pawns against So’s  queen, bishop, knight and  four pawns.   http://www.journal.com.ph/index.php/sports/23022-ph-chessers-slam-india-play-china-for-gold-medal.html

Indian men and women out of race for gold

PTI, Nov 25, 2010, 10.07pm IST

GUANGZHOU: India's men and women chess teams' gold medal hopes went up in smoke after suffering defeats on Thursday but their bronze medal chances are still alive. 

Second seed men's team suffered a shock 1.5-2.5 defeat at the hands of Philippines in the eighth round while the women lost by the same margin to Uzbekistan at the International Chess Centre. 

Some of the Filipinos had left the auditorium after having finished their games and when they returned to get an update on the tie, they were stunned after learning about the upset win over India. 

India actually took the upper hand when P Harikrishna shocked Wesley So in 20 moves after a two hour, 20-minute battle. 

But So's other teammates stood up to be counted and his country won a stunner. 

A defensive K Sasikiran, down to his single bishop and one pawn after a relentless attack down the middle by Filipino opponent Antonio Rogelio Jr, resigned while Surya Sekhar Ganguly drew his encounter against John Paul Gomez before G N Gopal was decisively beaten by Eugene Torre.

GM  Rogelio Antonio, Jr.  also  did his part by drawing with GM Krishnan Sasikiran in board two.

National  Chess  Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) president/chairman  Prospero “Butch” Pichay had  kind words for the Filipino  chessers. “They (Filipinos) are really making all of us proud right now,” said Pichay, who congratulated the  team  through delegation head/coach  Willie Abalos. “The players  are performing to  expectations  even against  our traditionally-strong  Asian rivals.  I  like our chances now  even with still four  rounds left,” added Pichay.     NCFP secretary-general and Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino also congratulated the team, and urged them to continue to do well and bring  honors to the country. The Filipinos’ sixth-round opponent is  former Russian republic  Uzbekistan,  which drew with Kazakhstan, 2.-2. The Uzbeks are bannered by GM  Rustam Kasimdzhanov and  Anton Filippov.
