Wijk R11: Anand beats Magnus Carlsen, Aronian leads

by ChessBase
1/25/2008 – It was like the irresistible force meeting the immovable object: young Magnus Carlsenthrew everything into a kingside attack that looked quite overwhelming; while Vishy Anand defended calmly and took the full point. In the B Group Nigel Short has advanced to second place, in the C Group Fabiano Caruana is a full point ahead. Nine black wins today, just two for White. Express report.

Group A

A black day for the white pieces, as the second player wins three out of four decisive games. Tournament leader Carlsen burnt his boats in an attempt to mate Anand's king, but there turned out to be no mate, and the world champion escaped with his booty intact.

Aronian won nicely against van Wely, who has now lost three straight, whilst Radjabov sprung out of what John Nunn considered a strategically lost position, to mate a time-troubled Gelfand. Eljanov opened his winning account at the expense of Polgar, whilst the other three games were drawn.

Group B

In this group all five decided games were won by Black! Joint second-placed Bacrot advanced, after catching Krasenkov in a pretty endgame mating net.

The other joint second-placer, Nigel Short, matched him by beating Smeets with Black, after the latter sacrificed unsoundly.

I could not help noticing that since the Appeals Committee met on Sunday evening to reach their curious decision regarding the Cheparinov handshake incident, Nigel Short has played four games of chess, from which he has scored 3.5 points. In the same period, the three members of the Appeals Committee have played nine games between them, out of which they have scored 4 draws and 5 losses! Now, far be it for me to draw profound theological conclusions from such flimsy empirical evidence, but it would appear to lend just a smidgeon of support to certain theories, regarding the existence and nationality of a postulated deity!


You'll never guess hou beat Armenian GM Gabriel Sargissian: 13-year-old Hou Yifan, that's who!

Group C

Whilst the second-placed trio of Nijboer, Negi and Reindermann all drew (the last two with each other), Caruana extended his lead to a full point by beating Ushenina.

Ljubojevic upset Korchnoi (in more ways than one) by beating him with Black, to leave the two of them tied for first place going into the last round.
