Campionato del Mondo Scacchi Torneo dei Candidati 2011
Impressioni Secondo Giorno
Il Campionato del mondo di scacchi 2012 si svolgerà nel 2012 tra il campione in carica Viswanathan Anand (vincitore del Campionato 2010 e campione del mondo in carica) e Boris Gelfand, che si è qualificato attraverso un torneo dei candidati ad otto giocatori, sotto l'egida della FIDE.
L'organizzazione del campionato ha subito diversi cambiamenti nel corso del tempo: il campionato era inizialmente previsto per 2011, e l'ultima fase di scelta dello sfidante è passata da un match tra due giocatori ad un torneo, svoltosi a Kazan', in Russia, dal 5 al 26 maggio 2011.
World Chess Championship Candidates 2011 Kazan Russia
The FIDE Candidates took place in Kazan 3rd-27th May 2011. 8 players competed to produce one world championship candidate to face Viswanathan Anand. The first and second round matches were four games plus rapid and blitz playoffs if required. The final was of six games.
Topalov (BUL) -- Kamsky (USA)
Kramnik (RUS) -- Radjabov (AZE)
Aronian (ARM) -- Grischuk (RUS)
Gelfand (ISR) -- Mamedyarov (AZE)
I love the internal conversation Grischuk has with himself. But I wonder...has this "new guard" of Chess gone drawish for safety?
More than anything else, the excitement of SPARKING a new move! Starting a chain of events on the Chess board where the ending ISN'T for sure.
Liquid, so to speak.
As well as your great music choice! Gets five stars from me!

@MisterBoneman Thx a lot for the kind comment. Month of preparation for opponents they might know half their life by using the same engines and programms and playing a modus where one loss might be the end of all dreams leads to a high rate of neutralization and lot draws. Some day the forced path to draw will end high level chess.

The Week in Chess "Gata Kamsky defeated Veselin Topalov in the first decisive game of the Candidates in Kazan, Russia. Topalov varied from a previous Kamsky game with a very risky queenside castling idea, things went bad pretty quickly and Kamsky pressed home his advantage impressively. Grischuk-Aronian, Gelfand-Mamedyarov and finally Kramnik-Radjabov were all drawn without too many adventures"
