Mind Games Day 5: Yifan, Karjakin gold

by Alejandro Ramirez
12/17/2013 – In two close blitz tournaments the final results came to the very last round. In the men's section Aronian and Karjakin tied at the top, but the Russian edged his opponent out on tiebreaks as he had bested the Armenian in the individual encounter. In the Women's section Gunina could have won if she defeated Hou Yifan in the last round, but she blundered and lost. Analysis of a blitz game!

SportAccord Mind Games will be held in Beijing, China between the 12th of December and 20th December 2012. The World Mind Games was held for the first time in 2008 and consisted of 5 disciplines: chess, bridge, draughts (checkers), go, and xiangqi (Chinese chess). SportAccord, the organizer of the Mind Games, is the umbrella organization for both Olympic and non-Olympic sports as well as for major organizers of conferences and sporting events.

Day 5: Blitz - Men

Karjakin won thanks to his better tiebreaks: he defeated Aronian in the personal encounter 1.5-0.5

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, MVL, scored well, but not fantastically, every day and that added up to a third place finish

Everyone knows that when the cap is going backwards things are getting serious

Blitz chess wouldn't exist without controversy

Day three was a very close race. Ponomariov and Karjakin were the ones that scored the most points with 7.0/10 each. However close behind were Aronian, Giri and Grischuk with 6.5/10. Because of their previous results, however, Giri, Grischuk and Ponomariov needed more than that to opt for medals.

The leader after day two, Mamedyarov, was only able to score 4.0/10 and that also bumped him out of the top three positions. Karjakin, though, was able to catch up to Aronian and the two scored 19.5/20. The tiebreak system favored the Russian, though, as he has won the direct encounter 1.5-0.5 It was definitely a close tournament that could have gone to anyone even in the latter stages! The somewhat surprising third place was Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who didn't have a single fantastic day but a series of good results put him in the podium.

Day 5: Blitz - Women

The World Champion was not happy with today's results, but she still got the gold medal. She scored 5.5/10 today.

Kosteniuk unfortunatley could not continue her winning streak after being victorious in today's first two games

Ushenina had a fantastic day two but not such a great day three, She finished only one point behing Muzychuk who was third.

The somewhat surprising "winner" of day three with 7.5/10: Antoaneta Stefanova

Pia Cramling scored 10.0/30, will she rebound in the Basque? Muzychuk proved it was possible to come back from a bad set of games!

The women's section was also very close, despite the fact that at the end Hou Yifan won it with two points to spare, it simply does not tell the whole tale. The entire tournament could have finished differently if Gunina had seen an important resource in the final round:

Blitz Prize Giving Ceremony

Muzychuk went from having an atrocious rapid result to getting a medal in the blitz

Gunina was the leader after day one, and she was one win away from taking the gold!

The winners: Gunina, Hou Yifan and Muzychuk

Proudly Chinese, or China's Pride?

MVL from France obtained the third place, Aronian applauds before going to take his second place in the stand

Karjakin edged out the victory, but a gold medal is a gold medal!

Tomorrow starts the unique Basque system, in which players will face each other in two rapid games simultaneously against each other, one with White and one with Black.
