 International Youth Team
Chess Tournament among Teams Representing Shanghai
Cooperation Organization Countries was held at
Yekaterinburg,
Sverdlovsk Region,
Russian Federation
some 1700km south-east of Moscow from June 15th -
June 24th. The tournament was carried
out by Russian Ministry of Sports and was sponsored by
Penetron (Designers of Hydro-electric facilities). The
Indian team comprising of CH.Savitha, M.G.Gagan,Viani
D’Chuna and Jerome Jeorge Ebenezer with National
Instructor Mr.K.Ganesan as coach participated in the
championship
Eight countries took
part in this unique competition which comprised of 4
different events namely:
1.
Classical
2.
Rapid
3.
Problem Solving
4.
Simultaneous against Russian Grandmasters
The countries were
India, China, Russia -1 & Russia – 2, Uzbekistan,
Kyrgyzstan, Khazakstan, Tajikistan.
Each team comprised of 4
players playing Board 1, Board 2, Board 3 and Board 4
respectively. Change of board order was not allowed.
Indian Team Board
Order:
Board – 1: M.G.Gahan
Board – 2 : Viani
D’Cunha
Board – 3 : Jerome
George Ebenezer
Board – 4: C.H.Savetha
In Classical chess we
stood 4th behind Kazakhstan, Russia-1 and
Russia -2. C.H.Savetha tied for the first place on Board
4 but got only a silver medal based on tie-break.
The rapid event was also
dominated by Uzbeks and Russians although Viani D’Cunha
got an individual gold on Board-2 for India. Uzbekistan
players won the team gold in this event.
Problem-Solving contest
was a heartbreak for India though we won two individual
gold on Board – 1 (M.G.Gahan) and Board – 2 (Viani
D’Cunha). Our 3rd and 4th board
players let us down which cost us the team gold.
Simultaneous against the
grandmasters was a reasonably good show by Indians where
we won a silver medal (Team). Here too M.G.Gahan and
Viani D’Cunha held the grandmasters to get individual
Silver medals. Uzbekistan also stood first in this
event.
I was very impressed by
the Uzbekistan 3-Board player named Nigmatov Ortik who
is hardly ten. Indians should definitely watch out for
this boy in the future. Uzbekistan won the team gold in
all the four events!
