World Rapid: Carlsen, Duda and Jobava co-leaders

by Klaus Besenthal
12/27/2021 – The first five rounds of the World Rapid Championship were played on Sunday. Three players are sharing the lead on 4½ points: defending champion Magnus Carlsen, local hero Jan-Krzysztof Duda and Baadur Jobava from Georgia. On the women’s tournament, Alexandra Kosteniuk and Valentina Gunina have a perfect 4/4 score after the first day of action. | Foto: Michal Walusza

World Rapid Chess Championship

In the first round we got to see a prime example of how an elite player can somehow slowly win against an inferior — yet strong — opponent.

Carlsen has a rook in the open a-file, which Black cannot neutralise. This tiny advantage doesn't really mean anything, but it remains on the board for a long time and undoubtedly means a certain stress factor for the Georgian player which demands permanent attention. 10.h3 h6 11.Nc3 d6 12.Bd2 Re8 13.Nd5 Bf8 14.Qb1 Be6 15.Nxf6+ Qxf6 16.Ra6 Nd8 17.Bxe6 Nxe6 18.Qa2 Qe7 19.Ra1 Rec8 20.Ra7 Qe8 21.Qd5 c6 22.Qa2 Rc7 23.Qa5 Rxa7 24.Qxa7 Qc8 25.Qa6 Be7 26.Qxc8+ Rxc8 The a-file still belongs to White, and it still doesn't mean much. Carlsen, however, is in no hurry and first improves his position on the other side of the board. 27.g3 Kf8 28.Kg2 Ke8 29.Be3 Bg5 30.Nxg5 hxg5 31.Kf3 f6 32.Kg4 g6 33.h4 Without moving a pawn, he would get nowhere. gxh4 34.Kxh4 But he wants to keep his structure intact, so he captures here with the king. Rc7 This rook wants to go to h7. 35.Kg4 Kf7 36.Ra8 In addition to possession of the a-file, there is possession of the eighth, but even this does not give White any significant advantage. d5 37.f4 dxe4 38.dxe4 exf4 39.gxf4 Ng7 40.Kf3 f5
Here the game was completely even. 41.Bd4 With 41.e5 Ne6 White makes no progress. 41...fxe4+ 42.Kxe4 Nf5 43.Bc5 Rd7 44.b4 Rd2 45.Ra7+ Ke8 46.Ke5 Rxc2 47.Rc7 Re2+ 48.Kf6 Re4! Grabbing the f4-pawn should guarantee Black the draw. 49.Kxg6 Rxf4 50.Kg5 Rf1 51.Rxc6 Kd7 52.Rb6
There is a complete balance, but White still has the initiative. 52...Ng3 53.Rd6+ Kc7 54.Re6 Kd7 55.Re5 Rf3 56.Kg4 Rb3 57.Kf4 Kc6 58.Re6+ Kd7 59.Re5 Kc6 60.Bf2 Nf1 61.Be1 Nh2 62.Rc5+ Kb6 63.Bc3 Nf1 64.Be1 Ne3 65.Ke4 Nc4 66.Kd4 Rb1 67.Bc3 Rd1+ 68.Ke4 Nd6+ 69.Kf4 Rd3 70.Be1 Nc4 71.Bf2 Kb7 72.Rxb5+
The reward for the seemingly endless dance: White grabs the black pawn. Now it is foreseeable that the game will eventually turn into an endgame with rook and bishop against rook. 72...Ka6 73.Rc5 Nd6 74.Ke5 Nf7+ 75.Ke6 Nd8+ 76.Ke7 Kb7 77.b5 Rd2 78.Be3 Rd3 79.Re5 Kc7 80.Re4 Rd5 81.Rc4+ Kb7 82.Rc3 Kb8 83.Bb6 Rxb5 84.Bxd8
Now we have reached this endgame. Since it does not occur so rarely in practice, every professional chess player should be well versed in it - and from both perspectives. 84...Kb7 85.Kd6 Rb1 86.Be7 Rd1+ 87.Ke6 Kb6 88.Bd6 Kb5 89.Rc5+ Kb6 90.Kd7 Rh1 91.Rc2 Rh7+ 92.Ke6 Rh5 93.Be5 Rh1 94.Bd4+ Kb5 95.Kd5 Rh5+ 96.Be5 Kb6 97.Rb2+ Ka6 98.Kd6 Rh6+ 99.Kc7 Ka5 100.Bd6 Rh1 101.Kc6 Rc1+ 102.Bc5 Ka4 103.Rb4+ Ka3?? For 102 moves the bravely fighting Georgian had played only good moves and demanded everything from the World Champion - and then this! 103...Ka5= 104.Rb1+ 1–0

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 Bb4 5.cxd5 exd5 6.Bg5 h6 7.Bh4 0-0 8.e3 Bf5 9.Be2 Nbd7 10.0-0 c6 11.Qb3 Ba5 12.Bg3 Qb6 13.Nd2 c5 14.dxc5 Nxc5 15.Qxb6 axb6 16.Rfc1 Rfc8 17.a3 Bxc3 18.Rxc3 Na4 19.Rxc8+ Rxc8 20.Be5 Rc2 21.Bd1 Rxd2 22.Bxa4 Ne4
At this point in the game Duda had the better position: in addition to the bishop pair, the Polish star also had the better structure. 23.f3 In view of the invading black rook, however, Duda probably had to consolidate first with 23.Rf1 which would have avoided weakening the e3-square; the a4-bishop could have gone to d1 first if necessary. 23...Nc5 24.Rd1 Re2! Now the white advantage has decreased markedly. 25.Bb5 Rxe3 26.Rxd5 Bd3 27.Rd8+ Kh7 28.Bxd3+
28...Nxd3 Already here 28...Rxd3 was better. 29.Bc3 Nf4 30.Rd7 Now it looks like White will be able to collect the black pawns at will, but this move is not the best. Better was 30.Kf1 to first deal with the potential knight's check from e2. 30...Re2? This move, which at first seems logical, loses. After 30...Rd3! White must exchange the rooks, after which he has only a slight advantage. Capturing one of the black pawns does not lead to an advantage, because Black now has Ne2+ followed by Nxc3, etc. 31.Rxf7! White simply ignores the threat against g2. Ne6 The capture on g2 would have led to an immediate loss of material. 32.Re7 Nd4 33.Rxb7 Nf5 34.g4 Ne3 35.Rxg7+ Kh8 36.Re7+ Kg8 37.Bd4 1–0

In Round 5, Duda and Baadur Jobava, the only players standing on 4/4 at the time, had a wild exchange of blows which finally ended in a draw.

It was a chance for Magnus Carlsen to catch up with the leaders, and the defending champion took it in his stride.

Much like in the first game, Carlsen again has a bishop against a knight. 43.Kg2?! Shirov voluntarily gives up his pawn - which was not necessary. He could have played 43.Nd5 43...h5 Carlsen doesn't want to block the h-pawn in case he has to play Kh6. 44.Rf2 This is why Shirov could have repeated with 44.Nd5 44...Rxc3 45.Ne6+ Kh6 Now Carlsen is absolutely in his element: equipped with an extra pawn he can now torment his opponent - without any risk, and for a long time! 46.Rd2 Be5 47.Re2 Bb8 48.Rb2 Ba7 49.Ra2 Be3 50.Re2 g5 51.Nc7 Rd3 52.Nd5 Bd4 53.Ne7 Bc5 54.Re5 Rd2+ 55.Kf1 Rc2
And, as in the first game, Carlsen's opponent, tired from the constant pressure, makes a decisive mistake. 56.Nf5+? Kg6 57.Ne3 57.Ne3 Bxe3 58.Rxe3 Rxh2 is hopeless for White. 0–1

Women’s tournament

After three rounds, Elisabeth Paehtz was one of five players who started with a perfect score.

However, Paehtz went on to lose her game against Valentina Gunina in Round 4. Apart from Gunina, only Alexandra Kosteniuk remained perfect on the first day of action — with 4/4 each, the two Russians will start the second day of the tournament as co-leaders.

1.d4 e6 2.c4 Bb4+ 3.Bd2 a5 4.Nf3 d6 5.g3 Nc6 6.Bg2 e5 7.0-0 Nxd4 8.Nxd4 exd4 9.Bxb4 axb4 10.Qxd4 Nf6 11.Qd2 c5 12.Rd1 Ra6 13.a3 0-0 14.b3 Qe7 15.Ra2 bxa3 16.Rxa3 Rxa3 17.Nxa3 Rd8 18.Nb5 Bg4 19.h3 Be6 20.Qa5 g6 21.Qb6 Ne8 22.Kh2 Rd7 23.e3 h5 24.Rd2 Kg7 25.Qa5 Nf6 26.Qa1 Bf5 27.e4 Be6 28.Rd3 Kg8 29.Nxd6
Given the limited thinking time, it was of course difficult to find the right answer to this tactical shot. 29...h4? This does not work. After the obvious 29...Rxd6! 30.Rxd6 Qxd6 31.Qxf6 Qd2 32.f4 Qd3! White can hardly make any progress in the face of the well-positioned black queen. 30.e5 hxg3+ 31.fxg3 Ne8 32.Qa8 Kf8
33.Qa7? This move, releasing the pressure, does not look sensible. It was worth to consider 33.Be4 which would have protected the uncovered d3-rook. 33...Nxd6 Playable was 33...Bxh3! 34.Bxh3 34.Kxh3? Qxe5 even gives Black an advantage in view of the mate threat on h5. 34...Qxe5 35.Bxd7 Qe2+ with a perpetual check. 34.exd6 Qg5 35.Qa1 Kg8 36.Qd1 Qe5 37.Qd2 Kg7
We see White keeps an advantage, which could now have been developed further with h3-h4 and Bh3. 38.Qf4?! Qxf4 39.gxf4 Kf6 40.Kg3 Bf5 41.Rd2 Ke6 42.b4
42...b6! 42...Rxd6 43.Bd5+ Kf6 44.bxc5 Rd8 was not entirely bad either. 43.bxc5 bxc5 44.Bd5+ Kf6?! But this is doubtful. 44...Kxd6! 45.Bxf7+ Kc7 46.Rxd7+ Kxd7 should result in a draw. 45.Bc6 Rd8 46.h4 Be6 47.Bb5 Ra8 48.Kf2 Rh8 49.Ke3 Ra8 50.Ke4 Rd8 Better was 50...Rc8 and White's following idea does not work: 51.f5? Bxf5+ 52.Kd5 Be6+ c5 and c6 cannot be reached by the white king. 51.Ke3 Already here White could go for 51.f5! gxf5+ 51...Bxf5+ 52.Kd5+- 52.Kf4+- with two passed pawns. 51...Ra8 52.Rd3 Rd8 53.Rd1 Ra8 54.Ke4 Rd8 55.Rd2 55.f5! See above. 55...Ra8 56.d7 56.f5! 56...Rd8 57.Rd6 Ke7 58.Rb6 Rh8 Hier ging 58...Bxd7! 59.Rb7 Ke6 60.Rxd7 f5+‼= 59.Rb7 Kd6 60.Ra7 Bf5+ 61.Ke3 Rd8 62.Ra6+ Ke7 63.Ra7 Kd6 64.Kf3 Bxd7? Now this is wrong - we already know why! 64...Ke7± 65.Rxd7+ Rxd7 66.Bxd7 Kxd7 67.Ke4 Ke6 68.f5+ Kf6 69.Kf4 Kg7 70.Kg5 f6+ 71.Kf4 Kh6 72.fxg6 Kxg6 73.Kg4 f5+ 74.Kf4 Kf6 75.h5 1–0
