Blitz in Beijing: Day Two

by Alejandro Ramirez
12/14/2014 – How the standings have changed, at least in the open section! MVL took the day by storm and leads by a full point. Ivanchuk had a solid showing and is only a point behind, as is Grischuk. Aronian is tired for fourth while Leko's disastrous day lands him all the way down in twelfth! Gunina still trails Hou Yifan, though both ladies had a few gifts from their opponents...
Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.

On December 11th the World Mind Games began in Beijing, China. One week some of the word's best players compete in Chess, Go, Draughts, Chinese Chess, (Xiangqi), and Bridge. In chess 16 top men and women play rapid, blitz and Basque chess. After four rounds of rapid Nana Dzagnidze, Wang Yue, Wang Hao and Alexander Grischuk are the leading mind acrobats.

The chessplayers will play rapid, blitz and Basque chess (two players play two games simultaneously against each other - one with white, one with black). All in all 24 medals can be won. The first chess tournament is the rapid competition for men and women (Thursday and Friday). After that follows blitz (Saturday to Monday) until the Basque chess tournament finally rounds it off (Tuesday and Wednesday).

Open Blitz - Day Two

Day two under way

What a day! The leaderboard changed dramatically after the three leaders from yesterday had drastically different results. Ivanchuk scored 6.0/10. This keeps him in a solid second place with 13.0/20, along with Grischuk.

8.0/10 is quite a feat for anyone in this field, but Pentala Harikrishna's
score puts him only half a point away from last!

Aronian did not have a great day. He started losing to the current tournament leader, Vachier-Lagrave. The Armenian finished the day with 4.5/10, enough for a tie for fourth with 11.5/20 but a few points below the leader. Leko, the other leader from day one, had a dismal 1.5/10 and is nowhere near the top positions.

Wang Yue had an extra knight against Nepomniachtchi but he could not break
down the Russian's defenses... even after 109 moves!

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is, of course, the story of the day. He scored a monstrous 8.0/10 today and is a point above Grischuk and Ivanchuk going into day three. One point is not a big lead in a blitz tournament that has ten rounds left, but it is still nice to have! Some highlights from day two:

30...Qh5 Grischuk also received a nice gift from Aronian in round 16. The Armenian is a clear pawn ahead and has excellent winning chances. Black threatens a perpetual with Rd1+ so he prevents this... in the most awkward way possible. 31.g4? 31.Qc2!± 31...Qh4 the tables have already turned. Rd8 followed by Qxg4 is a serious threat. 32.a5 Rf6? 32...Rd2! 33.Rf1 Rd8! 34.Qc2 Qxg4+ 35.Kh1 Qf3+ 36.Kg1 Bd6 and White will not survive. 33.Nd5?? 33.Rb2 Rd6 34.Rb1 goes back to the previous line. 33.Nd7! is a computer like save!

Women's Blitz - Day Two

The World Champion, Hou Yifan, extended her lead

What a day for Hou Yifan! She extended her lead by scoring 8.5/10, including a four game winning streak to finish the day.

Everyone seems to be in good spirits at the tournament!

Gunina was not far behind scoring her own 7.5/10. The frontrunners did not face each other today but will do so tomorrow. Meanwhile Muzychuk leads the fight for bronze, two points behind Gunina who currently holds silver, while Kosteniuk and Stefanova are stepping on her heels with only half a point less.

The way to the top, however, did come with some help from Gunina's and Hou Yifan's opponents!
