Groningen 2016

Jinshi Bai is serious about his chess. He was born in 1999, is coached by Chinese Grandmaster Li Chao, and one day wants to be among the very top. 2015 he told Schachbundesliga.de, the site of the German Bundesliga: "I stopped going to school for one year to focus entirely on chess. ... I love it to travel to play chess and one day I want to mix things up among the very top."

With two draws the Chinese started slowly into the tournament but then he turned up the heat and after scoring 6.0/7 he finished with 7.0/9. In his game against Lucas Van Foreest he showed that a knight on the rim sometimes is indeed dim.

Nd5 10.Bd2 e5 This natural move is a novelty. 11.Na3 After 11.b5 Black retreats with Nb8 and White will lose the pawn on c5. 11...a5 12.Nh4 Better was 12.b5 and after Bxc5 13.Nc4 Na7 14.Nxa5 the engines consider the position to be roughly even - Black has definitely enough compensation for the pawn. 12...Be6 13.Nc2 e4!
This leaves the knight stranded on h4. 14.g3 Be7 15.Rc1 Ne5 16.Be2 Bh3 Threatening ...g5. 17.Ne3 White hopes to counter Black's threat tactically but this fails. Nxe3 18.Bxe3 g5 19.f4 Nd3+ 20.Bxd3 Rxd3 21.Bd4 Probably White relied on this move. He now saves his knight but his king is too exposed. Rd8 22.fxg5 Bxg5 23.Rb1 axb4 24.Rxb4 Bg4 Black now has a winning attack. 25.Rb1 Bd2+ 26.Kf2 e3+ 27.Kg2 e2 28.Bf2 Be6 29.Rhg1 Bd5+ 30.Kh3 Be6+ 31.Kg2 Bxc3 32.Rbc1 Bd5+ 33.Kh3 Be6+ 34.Kg2 Bd5+ Black wins time on the clock to find the winning blow. 35.Kh3 Rd1! 36.g4 Bc6 37.Rxc3 Rxg1 38.Re3 Rf1 39.Rxe2 Rxf2! A nice tactical finish to an energetic game. After 40.Rxf2 Rd3 White has to give material to avoid the mate. 0–1

After 9 rounds Bai thus shared first place with open specialist and ChessBase Sergey Tiviakov. Tiviakov drew the first game, then won four games in a row and finished the tournament with three draws. In his game against Maksim Chigaev Tiviakov also made use of a classical strategic motif: the power of the bishops:

Tiviakov,S2609Chigaev,M25311–02016B1854th Groningen Open 20166.1

Sergey Tiviakov

But Tiviakov had the worse tie-break and had to content himself with second place. A very close decision. His direct encounter with Jinshi Bai had ended in a draw, they both  had the same number of Buchholz points (the first tie-break criteria) but the Chinese had 0.25 Sonneborn-Berger points (the second tie-break criteria) more than Tiviakov and this made him win the tournament.
