SPICE Cup 2008: four co-champions


SPICE Cup 2008 is over. This tough tournament saw four co-champions out of ten participants. Sharing the top spots are GM Pentala, GM Kritz, GM Akobian, and GM Onischuk. SPICE Cup 2008 is a pretty strong tournament boasting an average rating of 2605 good for a category 15 event making it one of the strongest ever held in US soil. Next year GM Wesley So is set to compete in this event and the SPICE is aiming for a category 16-17. Below is one of my game pick from the tournament. It is not the best match of the tourney but I choose it because it is one of the most dramatic. Black has a completely winning position until he blew it all away with a blunder on his 31st moves, forcing him to resignjust seven moves later. Enjoy!






1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Be7 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bf4 c6 6.e3 Bf5 7.g4 Be6 8.Bd3 Nd7 9.h3 (the game is a Queens Gambit Declined. Other good alternative for white is 9.Qf3 which have been tried and produced good results lately)

9...Nb6 (many thought that this is a drawish move. 9...h5 could be played but quite a risky one for black. say 9...h5 10.gxh5 Ndf6 11.h6 Nxh6 12.Qc2 Qd7.)

10.Qc2 Bd6 11.Nge2 Ne7 12.0-0-0 g6 13.Kb1 Bxf4 14.exf4 Qd6 15.f5 gxf5 16.gxf5 Bd7 17.Ng3 Qf6 18.Nh5 Qh6 19.f6 Qxh5 (an exchange would favored black slightly. Black has nothing to do with his Knight on d7 actually. the passed pawn at d7 hardly posed a threat at all but a liability for white.)

20.Rhe1 Nbc8 21.fxe7 Nd6 22.Qd2 Bf5 (black is doing fine here as he will gain a tempo in the exchange.) 23.Bxf5 Qxf5+ 24.Ka1 Kd7 25.Re5 Qxh3 26.Qf4 Rhg8 27.Rde1 Rae8 28.a3 Rg4 29.Qd2 Qh4 30.Nxd5 cxd5 31.Rxd5 Rg6?? (a blunder. 31...Re4 was the key move. Now white pounces)

32.Qb4! Rxe7 33.Qxb7+ Kd8 34.Qb8+ Kd7 35.Qxa7+ Ke8 36.Qb8+ Kd7 37.Rc1 Re8 38.Qc7+ White wins 1-0

Corrections

IM John Paul Gomez is never from FEU. He's from De La Salle. Some correction. I took a look at my yesterday post early this morning and saw the mistake. I should have added the following words "...IM John Paul Gomez as always, carried the team for De La Salle, winning an unprecedented five straight MVP crowns." Got so excited by FEU's victory that I forgot to include De La Salle. My apologies.

World Ten Ball Championship starts today


PICC-same site as the 1992 Manila Chess Olympiad


The inaugural World Ten Ball Championship, the most prestigious pool tournament, will finally fires off today at the same site where the 1992 Manila chess Olympiad was held, the historic Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) . Pool, another favorite Filipino pass time and sport, is often considered by many as what chess is to the Russians - complete domination of the sport. Two of the best practitioners of the game, Filipino cue artist Efren "Bata" Reyes and Francisco "Django" Bustamante are the Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer of pool.

Nothing goes easy for Topalov-Kamsky match

It looks like the Bulgarian Chess Federation will not leave any stone unturned for the forthcoming semi final match between their grandmaster and current world no.1 player, Vaselin Topalov and the new Bulgarian public enemy no.1 US grandmaster Gata Kamsky. Strings of protest from BCF may jeopardized the success of the semi final match up -or it may not:

"We still do not know any details about where and in what conditions will be the match, and the announced by you date November 26th is approaching...Mr Ilymzhinov, please inform me where and when the match will take place.We insist the decision for the match to be reflected in the players contracts, and they to be signed before the other semi final match between GM Kramnik and GM Anand. Further delay could be fatal and to ruin all the efforts so far. I think nobody has interest in the failure of the match Topalov - Kamsky. The Bulgarian chess player who is N1 in the current rank list cannot be eliminated from the competition for the world championship. " Stefan Sergiev wrote, President of BCF to GIDE president Ilyumzhinov Read the rest of the story from chessdom.com

Yup. It is pretty obvious that there's still a lot more work to be done. As for Gata Kamsky. I think he's just more than happy for the opportunity to get a shot for a world title. Anywhere but not in Bulgaria.

Philippine and far eastern chess: the place they deserved to be in


A common sights in the streets of Manila


Two days ago, I wrote a short, bite-sized post regarding GM Torre's citation on an UK online newspaper, the telegraph.com.uk. This time, one of web's most popular chess site, ChessVibes.com also join in recognition of our hero's recent success. And that is very nice of them. Because it maybe the first time in a long, long time outside his native country that he receives such accolades. Paying tribute to a revered Filipino hero and legend that seems to be completely forgotten is a total breath of fresh air. Not much is being told about chess in the far east for decades now, much about Philippine chess where it is a national pass time. But it is already the age of the internet. There are only two recognizable chess figures in this country at the moment and that is GM's Wesley So and Eugene Torre though it is So who is obviously the more celebrated of the two when it comes to global chess awareness and perhaps responsible for bringing everyone, even Torre back to world chess map. What a heavy load this 14 year old boy is already carrying on his shoulders. Speaking of So heck, some of Wesley's fans (or not), even go beyond of prematurely comparing him to marvelous Magnus Carlsen of Norway and the so called comparison eventually triggered many petty squabbles. I'm not sure about this but after WGM Susan Polgar announced in her blog that Wesley So will be competing in SPICE Cup next year, it creates a wide "disturbance" from the readers of her blog that Susan eventually enable the comment moderation on her blog a day after the post appeared! The irony here is that a small number of unruly Filipinos usually react violently, almost hysterically everytime a foreigners criticized them even if these Pinoys are the ones who started the issues. But not in this case. Although I have to admit that it really did hurt me, more than angered me, every time I read or heard in various popular chess forum and comment box that the Philippines doesn't boast any great chess players in history (okay, we know that, but please don't go far from that) to deserved media attention in the west, Filipinos are pound for pound, one of the most passionate followers of the game. Hundreds of thousands of Filipinos are playing chess. You see them on the streets, prisons, barber shops, clubs, schools and lately, online. Check out any popular online chess sites that offers free membership (we love freebies folks!) and you will see that the Philippines always occupied the top five slots of countries who were playing chess on the web. That said, I hope that someday Philippine and far eastern chess would received more recognition it deserved to the point that I won't need anymore to keep a stress causing blog like our ChessHeroes.

World Chess Championship promotional video

Before we know it there are only less than three weeks away from the much anticipated chess championship match between two of the most successful players at the moment. As we all set into the mood for Kramnik vs Anand duel, here's a short promotional video of the championship produced by chessfilm.net. Although I found this video quite lacking of total creativity (focusing too much on chess pieces and innocent bystanders) this video nonetheless can surely help whet all our appetites.

Wesley So to compete in category 16-17 SPICE cup next year


Tougher, bigger tournaments for 2009


I just dropped by Susan Polgar's blog late last night and I'm very excited to inform you that our very own Wesley So will be competing next year on what could be the highest rated international round-robin chess tournament in U.S. History-a category 16 or 17 being put together in the process by tournament director, WGM Susan Polgar herself. The ongoing SPICE Cup which boast an average rating of 2605 according to World Chess Federation (FIDE) ratings is the highest so far ever held in US soil, a category 15. Wesley's current unofficial Live rating is around 2616. So is also set to compete in one of the biggest annual chess tournament, the Corus Chess Tournament that will be held on January 15 to February 1, 2009 in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands. He will compete in Gandmaster group C.

Torre will go to Dresden

It looks like the wound is slowly healing up after all. GMANews.TV reports that 3rd PGMA cup champion GM Eugene Torre was appointed (in compensation perhaps by his recent success) by National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) as non-playing team captain of Dresden-bound RP chess team .

I guess all's well that ends well for both Torre and Pichay.

We're rank no.1 in Google search!


click the image to enlarge



click the image to enlarge


Hi everyone! Here's a piece of good news. Our ChessHeroes is rank no.1 in Google for the keyword “3rd President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Cup International Chess Championship". And has regularly taken top 3 spots for both "4th Pichay Cup" and "2008 Tal Memorial". The latter was quite surprising and flattering since Moscow is nearly four thousand miles away from Manila! It is good to see that my relatively new blog is well indexed by Google although there is quite a number of both official and unofficial websites and media partner for those tournaments. Anyway thank you everyone!

A notable game from 3rd PGMA cup: Torre vs. Li Chao


Here's one of my pick from the just concluded 3rd President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's Cup which is won by Philippine chess hero, Eugenio Torre. Okay this may not be the best performance for Torre neither for the defending champion Li Chao but the game itself is a total cliff hanger. Enjoy!




1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 (Li Chao may not be aware that along with Giuoco Piano, the Scotch is one of the most popular opening among the majority of Filipino club players so Torre is quite at home with the opening.)

3...exd4 4.Nxd4 Bc5 5.Be3 Qf6 6.c3 Nge7 7.Bc4 Ne5 8.Be2 d5 9.0-0 0-0 10.Nd2 (a more sharper line for white is the immediate push 10.f4 followed by 11. e5 where white leaves the option for black to exchange his dark squared bishop for the knight on d4. My Rybka 3 suggested this line which gives white more playing chances 65/35 in white's favor: 11...Qg6 12.Qd2 Bxd4!? 13.cxd4 h5 14.Nc3+=)

10...Bb6! (black is quite happy for this safe haven for his bishop where he hope it will play a big part for much of the game.)

11.f4 Ne5-c6!? (an interesting choice for Torre. Rybka is dying for 11...Qh6!)

12.e5 Qh6 13.N2f3 Nxd4 14.Nxd4 Nf5 15.Bf2 (white opt not to exchange pieces at the moment 15.Nxf5 because black's Queen is somewhat out of place and could be a perfect target for an attack with his more active pieces thus gaining an overwhelming tempo advantage for white.)

15...Nxd4 16.Bxd4 c5?! (a bit of a dubious push for Torre of not exchanging his bishop as he will gain the tempo for doing so but instead chooses a more complicated line for black. Perhaps he was playing a mind game against his aggressive and much younger opponent?)

17.Be3 d4 18.Bd2 Bf5 19.Bf3 Rad8! (trade mark Torre!)

20.c4 (20.Bxb4? 21.dxc3 and black has a clear advantage.)

20...Qe6 21.b3 Qe7 (giving way for his bishop's retreat)

22.Qe2 Rfe8 23.g4 Bc8 24.Qg2 Qc7 25.a3 Ba5 (Torre by now may have questioning himself by not exchanging the bishops early)

26.b4 Bb6 27.Rac1 a5 (itching to exchange his dark squared bishop for white's dark)

28.b5 a4 (this finally solved black's problem)

29.Be4 Ba5 30.Bxa5 Qxa5 31.Bd3 Qc7 32.Rce1 g6?! (checking my Rybka after this push, the program actually giving white a slight advantage +=. We are of the same opinion)

33.Qg3 Re7 34.f5 Rde8 35.b6 Qb8 36.Qf4 Rxe5 37.fxg6 fxg6 38.Qf7+ Kh8 39.Qf6+ Kg8 40.Be4 (now white commits a very important decision here by rejecting the threefold repetition and go for the win. White may have a reason. He still has all the resources to mount a violent attack against black.)

40...Be6 41.Bxg6 (A very bold sacrifice. But in time trouble, anything can happen. We have now entered the most exciting part of the game.)

41...Rxe1 42.Rxe1 hxg6 43.Qxg6+ Kf8 44.Qh6+ Kf7 45.Qh7+ Kf6 46.g5+ Kxg5 47.Qg7+ Kf5 48.Rf1+ Ke4 (Both players may have been blitzing by now for miscalculation is everywhere.)

49.Qg6+ Ke3 50.Re1+ Kd2 51.Qb1?? (a huge blunder! Now black's king survived on the enemy's harsh territory.)

51...Rg8+ 52.Kh1 Bg4! 53.Rf1 Qe8 54.h3 Bf3+ 55.Rxf3 Qe1+ 56.Qxe1+ Kxe1 57.Rf7 d3 0-1

Not a perfect game for the tournament winner but Torre shows us some of his over forty decades of experience on the board on what supposed to be a a lost end game for black. He keeps his nerve and concentration against his more younger and highly aggressive opponent.
