World Juniors: Jeffery Xiong continues to win

by Johannes Fischer
8/19/2016 – In round ten of the World Junior U20 Championships in Bhubaneswar, India, 15-year old Jeffery Xiong scored his fourth win in a row. He beat Polish IM Grzegroz Nasuta with fine endgame play and now leads with 8.5/10. His closest rival is Vladislav Artemiev who won against Iraki Beradze. With 7.5/10 Artemiev is one point behind Xiong and with three rounds to go the direct encounter between these two will probably decide who will become World Junior Champion 2016.

After a wild tactical win in round eight and a positional victory in round nine Jeffery Xiong proved his endgame skills in round ten game against Polish IM Grzegroz Nasuta. From the start Xiong, who played with White, put his opponent under pressure which paid off when Nasuta cracked in a difficult endgame.

The time-control is reached and White has a better endgame which Xiong gradually and patiently turns into a win. 41...b5 42.Nd6 b4 43.Ke2 White wants to bring his king to the queenside to stop and capture Black's b-pawn. Then he hopes to win with his extra-pawn on the kingside. Bf8 44.Nc4 Kg7 45.Kd3 Kf6 46.Nb2 Bc5 47.Nd1 Bxe3 48.Nxe3 Ke6 49.Kc4 Nb8 50.Kb5 b3 51.Nc4 Kf6 52.Nd2!

Now Black gets into zugzwang and loses the pawn on e5. 58...Ne7+ 59.Kd6 Nc8+ 60.Kc5 Ke6 was more tenacious. 59.Kd6 Nd3 60.Nc4 g4 61.fxg4 hxg4 62.Ne3 Kg5 63.Ke6 Ne1 64.Kxe5 Nf3+ 65.Kd6 Nxh2 66.e5 Nf3 67.e6 1–0

The first move in the game between Xiong and Nasuta

Xiong's biggest rival is now Vladislav Artemiev, the tournament's top seed. With 7.5/10 Artemiev trails Xiong by one point and can catch Xiong if he beats the American in their direct encounter in round eleven. In round ten the Russian GM won a tense tactical game, in which his opponent made only one mistake - which was enough to lose.
