The Games Festival continues in Thessaloniki with more than 1000 participants, a record breaking 500 in the chess sections. After 4 rounds there were many surprises and only a few sections could have players with full 4,0/4. Today round 5 starts at 17:00 local time with many interesting battles on the top boards. Here are the events and report from round 4.
As the battle unfolds at the World School Chess Championship, several players are making an early challenge at the World title by singling out on the top with perfect score after four rounds. China team can be very satisfied with current standings as Han Chao (Open U15), Nie Xin (Girls U13) and Wei Yi (Open U11) are leading in their respective groups. Wei Yi is paired to meet another player with 4 out 4 - Vyacheslav Tatekhin of Russia.
WFM Pierina Rosales and Riya Savant are confidently walking through the Groups Girls U11 and Girls U9 respectively. Open U9 is dominated by Turkish representatives Denizcan Temizkan and CM Bilgen Sazci, who are sharing first with Russian Mikhail Perelygin. Ansuman Singh and Zantye Riddhi Pravin are paired for tomorrow’s round to decide in direct duel who will be the sole leader in Open U7.
3.5 points are sufficient for Ana Kuchava (Girls U15) and CM Firmansyah Farid (Open U17) to grab pole positions in their age groups. In Boys U13, however, this number of points was reached by five players who are clustered on the top.
World School Chess Championship results and standings
The World Amateur Chess Championship features over 100 players this year. After 4 rounds the top position is shared by the Geeman player Nagy Laszlo and the Romanian Stefan Parlog. Today they meet in a direct battle of high importance, as the chasing pack is only 1/2 point behind.
The first rounds came as a shock to the top rated players. GM Vladimir Georgiev, the top seeded player at the competition, is out of the top ten with 2,5/4 - after a loss against the untitled Pavlidis Antonios and a draw with WIM Fakhiridou. Pavlidis Antonios proved to be in top form and he also managed to hold IM Esen Baris to a draw and defeat IM Poley to be only half a point from the top position that is currently held by GM Bagaturov and IM Obodchuk.
