Homestretch at the Reykjavik Open 2018

American dominates "Fischer-Random" Cup

After the fifth round "halftime" at this year's Reykjavik Open, only one player in the tournament's top ten remained in the leading group. Mustafa Yilmaz, was finally nicked for a draw against Emre Can. Yilmaz, the ninth seed, had been the only player to remain on a perfect score through four rounds after beating Suri Vaibhav. Top seed Richard Rapport gave up another draw against in-form GM Elsan Moradiabadi. The surprise was the Icelandic veteran Johann Hjartarson with his victory over Pavel Eljanov. The US duel Friedel against Kamsky ended in a draw. The young Indian Nihal Sarin impressively beat the strong Egyptian Ahmed Adly.

The round brought a Turkish duel on top board, which ended in a draw, Aleksandr Lenderman prevailed against Hjartarson, and Nihal Sarin joined the lead group and is on course for a GM norm after another nice win over Moradiabadi. After the round, there were three players with 4½ out of 5 (Yilmaz, Lenderman and Sarin) and a dense group of 13 players with 4 points. Incidentally, on board eight we saw the "spouse duel" Cornette vs. Cornette, which ended after the minimum 30 moves for a draw, and the marriage was thus secured.

The Cornettes

The top game of the sixth round was Lenderman against Yilmaz, who split the point. Nihal Sarin played on second board and held his own against no one less than Gata Kamsky. Richard Rapport scored a much-needed win with Black against Joshua Friedel and Adhiban with White against Alejandro Ramirez. Maxime Legrande scored a point against Eugene Perelshteyn. Thus, after six rounds, there were six players with five points each in the lead.

In round seven, the top seed finally got back into the pole position. Rapport knocked off co-leader Lenderman, actually delivering mate on the board.

 
Rapport vs. Lenderman
White to move

After 23...d4 the attack got rolling with 24.h4! Lenderman's reaction 24...h6 was logical to keep the knight out of g5, but fatally weakened the g6 square. 25.Nh2 h5 26.Qg6 and White is winning.

On board two, Adhiban had the better end of a bishop ending, but was still a bit lucky to have it end so quickly when Maxime Lagarde made the curious time-trouble decision to trade into a losing king and pawn ending.

 
Lagarde vs. Adhiban
White to move

39.Bf4? Other bishop moves are far from clear but after 39...Bxf4 40.gxf4 Kg3 the Frenchman had already seen enough and resigned.

Sarin, meanwhile, gave up another half point but is still having a fantastic tournament.

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be2 e5 7.Nf3 Be7 7...h6 is another move if Black wants to avoid the 'pure Sveshnikov' type of position, but of course White has a creative reply: 8.Nd2!? 8.0-0 Be6 9.Re1 Nbd7= is harmless. 8...Be7!? 8...b5 was MVL's choice, but I think White stands better. 9.Nf1!? 9.a4 b4 10.Nd5 Nxd5 11.exd5 Nd7 12.a5 also gave White something in Hansen,T-Kovalenko,I chess.com INT 2018, though he later went slightly wrong. 9...Bb7 10.Bf3 Nbd7 11.Ne3 Nb6 11...Be7!? 12.Nf5 0-0 makes White find something now, and it's not clear there are many resources in his position. 12.0-0 Rc8 13.Qd3 g6 14.Rd1 14.a4!? b4 15.a5 bxc3 16.axb6 cxb2 17.Bxb2 Qxb6 18.Rfb1 14...Be7 15.a4 b4 16.Na2 a5?! 17.Qb5+N 17.c3? b3 18.Nb4 was unsuccessful in Carlsen,M-Vachier Lagrave,M Paris 2017 17...Nfd7 18.Qxa5 Ra8 19.Qb5‼± Black is in trouble. 9.Nc4 b5 10.Ne3 Nbd7!?N 10...Bb7 seems fine too, as played in a recent practical example by one of the leaders of the current tournament: 11.a4 b4 12.Ncd5 Nxd5 13.Nxd5 Nd7 14.0-0 Nf6!= 14...Bxd5 15.Qxd5 0-0 16.a5 Nihal,S-Thogersen,R Stockholm 2017 11.a4 b4 12.Ncd5 Nxd5 13.Nxd5 Nf6= 8.Bg5 Be6 9.Bxf6 Bxf6 10.Qd2 10.0-0 seems like a more popular choice at the top levels, in recognition of the fact that the White queen could want the e2-square instead of d2 in some lines. Now the key idea for Black is ...Nd7-b6. Be7 Maybe Black can economise on .. .Be7, i.e. 10...0-0!? 11.Nd5 Nd7 12.Bc4 Nb6= 11.Nd5 Nd7 12.Bc4 Rc8 13.Qe2 Nb6! 13...b5 14.Bb3 Nc5 15.Rfd1 0-0 16.a4 bxa4 17.Bxa4 f5?! 18.exf5 Van Foreest,J-Kokarev,D Riadh 2017 14.Nxb6 Qxb6 15.Bb3 0-0 16.Rfd1 g6 In a high-level game, Black 'drifted' for a few moves: 16...Kh8 17.h3 Rcd8 18.Nd2 Bc8 19.Nc4 Qc6 20.a4 Caruana,F-Grischuk,A Saint Louis 2017 17.h3 Kg7= Black is thinking of ...Qb5, and forming counterplay along the c-file. 10...Be7 11.Nd5 Nd7 12.Rd1 Rc8 By now the position is equal and there are various ways to play it. 12...Nf6!? 13.Nxf6+ 13.Nxe7 Qxe7 14.Qxd6 Qxd6 15.Rxd6 Nxe4 16.Rb6 0-0-0!= 13...Bxf6 14.c4 14.Qxd6 Qxd6 15.Rxd6 Rc8!= 14...Be7= 13.c3 13.c4!? at least plays for something. Bxd5 14.Qxd5 Qb6 15.b3 13...Rc6 14.0-0 Nf6 15.Qc2 Bxd5 16.exd5 Rc8 Now Black has a good version of the "Najdorf with ...Bxd5" position-type, and White has to be careful not to end up worse. 17.c4 17.Nd2 0-0 18.a4 looks a bit more fluent: White wants Nc4 and f4. 17...0-0 18.b4 Re8 19.Qb3 Bf8 20.Rfe1 g6! Now it transpires that Black will get ...e4 in, in a good way, and White has no way to make the c5-break have any impact. 21.Bf1 Bh6 There is no real need to play ...e4 absolutely immediately. 22.g3 Not a bad move, but it imperceptibly weakens the f3-square, on which Black can now try and land a knight. Nd7 23.a3 Bg7 24.h4 Preparing to meet ...e4 by Ng5. Against a non-move, e.g. 24.h3 Black might have intended e4 25.Nd4 Bxd4 26.Rxd4 f5 with ...Qf6 and ...Ne5 to come, thanks to White's 22nd. 24...Bh6 24...e4 25.Ng5 Nf6 was in any case the correct continuation for Black. 25.c5! An ambitious and correct move, trying to take advantage of the tempi that Black may have just misplaced. 25.Nd2!?= is solid 25...dxc5 26.d6 b5 27.bxc5?! 27.Qd5! c4 28.Bh3 c3 29.Ng5!? Bxg5 30.hxg5 Rc4 27...e4 28.Nh2? 28.Ng5 Bxg5 29.hxg5 Rxc5 30.Bg2 keeps the game a bit interesting, but Black should be better. 28...Nxc5 29.Qd5 Qd7! Only move, but good. 30.Bg2 Bg7 31.Ng4 h5 31...Qxg4 32.d7 Nxd7 33.Qxd7 Qxd7 34.Rxd7 Rc4-+ was the technical solution. 32.Ne3 Nd3 33.Bxe4 33.Rf1 Re5-+ 33...Nxe1 34.Rxe1 Re6 35.Rd1 Rd8 36.Nf5 Bf8 36...Rxe4 is good, as is almost anything by now. 37.Bb1 Rde8 38.Kh2 Re5 39.Ne7+ R8xe7 0–1

The surprising Sicilian - Shock your opponent with an early ...Qb6

The Kveinys Variation : 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 e6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Qb6! is surprisingly little-played, yet gives Black excellent chances and on this new ChessBase DVD, Andrew Martin explains how the system works.

Aleksandr Lenderman wins Fischer-Random rapid tournament

On the day of rest of this year's Reykjavik Open, a Fischer-Random rapid tournament was held in honour of Bobby Fischer for the first time. The tournament was supported by the European Chess Union. The best European player received the title "Fischer-Random European Champion 2018". The tournament was attended by the Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, who also made the first move on the top board in a final round.

Some GMs probably played voluntarily and gladly. Other GMs would have preferred to use the rest day for recreation or preparation but were more or less indirectly forced to play — it was a prerequisite for receiving conditions from the tournament organiser. The tournament was therefore quite well attended. Nine rounds were played according to Swiss system with 10 minutes plus 3 seconds increment per move per player for the game.

The hall became remarkably quiet after each drawing of a new starting position. All players rushed to their boards quickly, followed by between 5 and 10 minutes until the first move could be played. It was as quiet as a church during prayer; one could have heard the drop of a pin. While players otherwise pass the time with small talk in this case these few minutes was devoted to "preparation" of the game,  working out a strategy the first few moves. For me as a spectator, it was always very interesting to see how, on the one hand, the concentration phase before the game was over and on some boards, similar positions emerged. Depending on the basic position and playing strength, similar or even identical strategies were chosen to treat opening from a given position.

After a thrilling drama, the American Aleksandr Lendermann won on tiebreak score with 7½ points edging out second-placer Elshan Moradiabadi, followed by Josh Friedel (7 points), also from the USA. The best European was Richard Rapport ahead of Konstantin Landa (7 points each) and Pavel Eljanov (6½ points).

The best woman in the field and thus title winner "European Fischer-Random Women's Champion" was IM Alina l'Ami who's having a great performance in Reykjavik this year. The best players under-20 were FM David Shailesh (13th, 6 points), IM Nihal Sarin (18th, 6 points) and IM Ramesh Praggnanandahaa (20th, 6 points).

It was a very nice and interesting event and the players enjoyed it very much. The Icelandic Chess Federation is considering a similar tournament in years to come, as a continuing part of the Reykjavik Open. WGM Susan Polgar was present at the awards ceremony and donated cash prizes to the tournament.
