Naiditsch wins Delhi Open

by Sagar Shah
1/18/2018 – When the 2700+ rated GM confirmed his participation for the Delhi International 2018, questions arose whether he would be able to win the tournament or not. With the under-rated Indian players, it was not going to be easy. However, Naiditsch showed to the world that he was a class apart as he easily won the tournament with 8½/10. He paced himself in exemplary style and was never in danger of falling behind. Ziaur Rahman finished second and Nubairshah Shaikh was third. We bring you the final round report along with some pictures of the prize giving ceremony. | Pictured: Top three winners of the tournament with Bharat Singh Chauhan and Arkadij Naiditsch (centre), Ziaur Rahman (left) and Nubairshah Shaikh (right) | Photos: Niklesh Jain

If the Delhi International 2018 was a 10-kilometre run, then Arkadij Naiditsch zoomed past everyone is the first 8 kilometres and then walked his way to the finish line in the last two. He seemed simply in control of everything during the tournament and scored a clinical 8½ / 10 (with draws against Ratnakaran, Akash PC Iyer and Alberto David).

The final round clash between Naiditsch and Alberto David ended in a quick draw. Naiditsch was happy with a draw, because even if Ziaur Rahman won, Naiditsch knew he would win the event due to direct encounter being the first tiebreak, and Arkadij had beaten Rahman in round seven.

Rahman,Z2472Naiditsch,A27010–1201816th Delhi GM Open 20187

Ziaur Rahman was one of the stars of the tournament, hugely out performing his initial seeding as number 23, and turning in a 2701 performance rating. The Bangladeshi number one revealed that he "was very scared" playing against Naiditsch, but he immediately bounced back with wins over GMs Ivan Rozum and Sergei Tiviakov.

For Rahman this was one of the most important performances of his chess career. Not only did he finish second and took home Rs. 4,00,000 (about €5,100 euro), but he also gained 31 Elo points. This means that he is back into the 2500 league! A place where he deserves to be.

Karthikeyan,M2580Rahman,Z2472½–½2018B5916th Delhi GM Open 201810

Accept the Morra Gambit with confidence. Tame the Grand Prix Attack. Put fear into the heart of every tedious 2 c3 player. You can make 1...c5 a dangerous weapon whether it's an open or closed Sicilian.

The find of the tournament was Nubairshah Shaikh who scored 8.0/10, earned his maiden GM norm and also finished third. Nubair's tournament was already very successful after he had achieved his GM norm in nine rounds. Hence, he offered his opponent Vignesh a draw after just three moves. But Vignesh was in a fighting mood and went for a full-blooded fight. Nubair played a model game in the Caro-Kann and won in style.
