Hi everyone,
All that excitement and involvement with the Istanbul Chess Olympiad 2012 may have taken away some of the spotlight from other chess open tournaments. So, here’s a nice report via Chessdom from the very interesting Botvinnik Chess Memorial 2012.
Hi everyone,
All that excitement and involvement with the Istanbul Chess Olympiad 2012 may have taken away some of the spotlight from other chess open tournaments. So, here’s a nice report via Chessdom from the very interesting Botvinnik Chess Memorial 2012.
With a large field of 2600+ Grandmasters, the contest is pretty close after six rounds with GMs Alekseev, Areshchenko, Popov, Aleksandrov, Romanov, Bukavshin, Hovhannisyan and IM Demchenko all leading the field with 5,0/6.
They are closely followed by a large group of players with 4,5/6, among which are GMs Onischuk, Khairullin, Lysyj, Zvjaginsev, Khismatullin, Inarkiev, Khalifman, etc. GMs Timofeev, Tiviakov, Matlakov, Andriasian are trailing behind, but in a field of 237 players anything is possible to the end.
Follow the games daily live at the official website.
