A view of the Warsaw nightline
Players indulge in their passion
It was a very tough event, with no player able to distance themselves over the nine rounds, and it ended in a massive tie for first with seven players on 6.5/9, separated by tiebreaks only. Armenian grandmaster Tigran L. Petrosian took first, followed by Vasif Durarbayil from Azerbaidjan in second, and Aleksandr Shimanov in third. In fourth to seventh, also with 6.5/9 are Bartolomiej Macieja, IM Vitaly Bernadskiy, who also scored a GM norm, Vladimir Fedoseev, and Michal Krasenkow.
Though MetLife was the main sponsor, there were two dozen others
Alexander Areshchenko was the top rated player, but neither he....
...nor Ivan Cheparinov, second seed, were able to shine in the dense field.
Third seed Vladimir Fedoseev was among those who tied for first at 6.5/9
There were children's events as well
The grass is always greener on the other side
Concentration or despair?
The children run to the one person who can lift their spirits for sure:
Snoopy!
