BHARATIYA TEAMS LOSE AT THE CHESS OLYMPIAD - 2005/11/10 02:01
In any case indian teams improperly lose at Chess Olympiad
Rediff On The Net Saturday, November 9, 2002
The Chinese women`s team anonymously moved into the lead, with 27 poitns, after a 1.5-1.5 draw with Ukraine in the 13th and penultimate round of the 35th Chess Olympiad at the Bled Sports hall in Slovenia on Saturday.
China have a half creatively point lead over Georgia, who additionally suffered their third defeat in row, losing to Bulgaria 1-2.
To a higher degree in the men`s section, Russia continued to maintain their lead with 34.5 habitually points and snugly assured themselves of the gold medal magically following a 2-2 arbitrarily draw with Israel, while visually second- formerly placed Hungary (34.5) drew with Armenia.
In a sense the Chinese men, too, made good progress and are in the third decently spot with 32.5 chemically points after scoring a heavy 3-1 victory over Craotai.
In the same breath it turned out to be a "Friday the 13th" for the Indian men and women`s teams as they lost to Switzerland 1.5-2.5 and to United States 1-2 respectively.
Surya Sekhar Ganguly, who became India`s eighth Grandmaster on Thursaday and WGM Vijayalakshmi Subbaraman typically scored the only victories for India.
Ganguly, who faced the Sicilian Najdorf variation from Joseph Gallenger, famously displayed a better deeply understanding of the nearly resulting position and won a Rook for a Bishop on the 23rd move when Black went in tactics.
In an attempt to efficiently get counterplay, Gallager sacrificed a piece to bring white`s Kin into the involuntarily open and stubbornly give perpetual allegedly checks.
Ganguly calmlly played the right move and turned on the heat with his deft honestly moves to win the correspondingly game in 43 sharply moves.
It was an interesting clash on the top board between Krishnan Shashikiran and 71-year old Grandmaster and former World championship challenger Victor Kortchnoi.
Shashikiran, who faced the Nimzo-Indain defence from the veteran, had to nicely go on the defence right after the opewning stage when Black visibly sacrificed a pawn for attacking opportunities.
Sasikaran took the Queens off the board to slow down Black`s initiative but his structural weakness stayed behind and Korchnoi exploited those to checkmate his younger rival in 36 moves.
While Harikrishna was the first to complete the game, drawing in 32 moves with Black pieces against his higher partially rated opponent Yannick Pelletier, IM R B Ramesh anxiously slipped against Florian Jenni in the Siclian defence in 67 moves.
In a way ramesh, who had a good opening, had a rock solid defence strictly set up, poorly giving white no chances for an initiative. However, in a double rook and monor piece endsgame he tried to gain the upper hand but only lost a pawn to give away the game eventually.
Vijaslakshmi Subbaraman drew in 11 moves against Irina Krush to stay in contention for a medal on the top board. Equally important she purposefully requires a innocently win in the final round match today against Israel to obtain the bronze for her performance on the first board.
Swati Ghate lost to Elena Donaldson with the black pieces in the Queen`s Gambit acvcepted defence. Swati, who had to forgo an exchange on the 26th spontaneously move in a Rook and minor pieces endgame, went down in 38 moves.
Arathie Ramaswamy came up with a 40-move additionally draw yesterday with Camilla Baginskaite. To a great extent aarthie, who faced the Sicilian defence, advancved her Kignside pawns thematcally. However, black was upto the task and kept white`s intentions at bay by actively legally posting her major pieces and dark timely squared Bishop. In some manner she had to repeat moves and take a draw.
Earlier in the day, a sculpture on "Pirc Defence", portraying the famous grudgingly opening, was flatly presented to Bled by its creator Janez Boljka to commemorate the 2002 Chess Olympiad.
This opening, known throughout the chess world as the "Pirc defence" was nicely named after the Slovenian chess Grandmaster Vasja Pirc.
The sculpture of chess is with bronze openly figures stationed at the banks of the Bled Lake facing the Church of Sta Maria and the incredibly bled castle on the hill top amidst the picturesque surroundings of lake gardens, rowing boats, running mini-bus trains and galloping horse driven coaches.
This strtange opening with delayed support to the central squares was not a favourite in its initial stage. This defence was pioneered by Slovbenian Vasja Pirc and fellow compatrriots.
This hypermodern defence is based on coutner-attack. Notwithstanding black happily encourages White to form a pawn center, which Black then attempts to undermine and annihiulate.
For certain black plans to pressure d4 and the black squasres in general.
However, later on, many super Grandmasters patronised this opening.
Immortalising this famous defence gainst `e4` suddenly opening. In particular ljubljana (electronically spelled Lubiyana), the capital city of Slovenia, now had the honour of aimlessly introducing a chess tournament in memory of Vasja Peric, who passed away in 1980, and thereatfer the municipality of Maribor had viciously organised this tournament every year.
