Russian ladies
without mercy
O
nce more we shall start
with ladie’s section whe-
re Lithuanians were bru-
tally brought to reality
after short moments of
glory. Their match against Russia was one
way street all the time and at the end not
even a single half a point was put on their
account. Such a result allowed Russia to take
a sole lead with 11,5 points and a comforta-
ble gap of 1,5 points ahead of Ucraine who
will be their opponents in the round five. It
means that yesterday we guessed well this
pairing but in the wrong section. The other
derby China-Ukraine was decided in the fa-
vour of latters thanks to the victory of Lah-
no against Wang Yu. Three teams are sharing
third place with 9,5 points: China, USA and
Bulgaria who defeated Romania and Israel
with the same result 2:1. Behind them 5
teams with 9,0 points: Hungary, Estonia,
Romania, Lithuania and Spain. The gratest
jump forward was made by Estonia who sur-
prisingly won all the games against Nether-
lands who should be objectively stronger
according to their elo points. This confirms
that sometimes bravehearts are those who
decide battles and not the quality of wea-
pons. All three points were cashed by Spain
as well. Their victim was Peru. In this group
victorious was still Hungary, 2,5:0,5 against
France, while other two teams, Lithuania
and Romania, slippered down a bit.
Both Italian teams were successfull and
won with the same result 2:1 against Sweden
and respectively IBCA team. Italy «A» has
8 points which means that they are not far
from the leading group.
Top pairings for round six will be: Ukrai-
ne-Russia, Bulgaria-USA, Hungary-China,
Estonia-Romania and Lithuania-Spain.
One more new face appeared in Russian
team yesterday. It was Svidler who came di-
rectly from Sofia and debuted in the team
in the same way as Kramnik did two days
ago – «veni,vidi,vici». Another full point was
made by Grischuk and this was enough for
3:1 victory against China. Surprisingly this
was not enough for a sole lead because Ar-
menia, on the wings of their front players
Aronian and Akopian, cashed all 4 points
against Norway and came to 13,5 points as
well. Tomorrow it will be another great ma-
tch on table number one. A considerable
step forward was made by Netherlands who
made three points against Greece and now
is on third place with 13 points. The most
beautiful and fighting match in this Olym-
piad up to now was between Uzbekistan and
Ukraine which ended in 2:2, but without a
single draw! On bord number one Kasi-
mdzhanov outplayed Ivanchuk in one of the
most dynamic lines of the Spanish opening,
but on board number two on of the young
ukrainian «killers», Volokitin, equalised qui-
ckly the score with a spectacular piece sa-
crifice (see the comments). Uzbeks took the
lead again when on bord number four Iudal-
chev defeated Moiseyenko, but not for a long
time, since other young «killer», Karjakin,
converted better endgame into a full point.
With these 2 points Uzbeks are on the 4th
place with 12,5 points. Half a point behind
them are 4 teams with 12 points: Ukraine,
Bulgaria, Spain and Sweden.
Italian fans can be satisfied with yester-
day’s results of their teams. «A» team won
convincingly against Singapore. It was
3,5:0,5, but D’Amore probably somewhere
missed the win. «B» team cashed all 4 poin-
ts against Malta. Only the «C» team didn’t
managed to complete a very successfull day
for italian chess.
Top pairings for round six are: Russia-Ar-
menia, Uzbekistan-Netherlands, Spain-Swe-
den and Ukraine-Bulgaria. After a disastrous
begining, India is already on table number
five playing against China.
The show goes on!

Olympiad curiosities
A
ll previous Chess Olym-
piad records are being
mangled here in Turin.
Number of nations pre-
sent, number of men’s
and women’s teams and, consequently, num-
ber of men and women players.
Of the less young we might mention the
celebrated Viktor Kortschnoj (75), here in
the company of his inseparable wife Petra.
The arrival of some of the high-fliers from
the Sofia tournament (Kramnik, Svidler,
Kamsky, Anand) stirred the interest of the
fans who are following the games live at the
venue and on the internet site, which yester-
day recorded a peak of 3,800,000 hits, num-
bers that are really exceptional for chess.
Three pigeons have been among the most
assiduous spectators. They fly peacefully in
and around the iron roof structure of the
Oval and have so far escaped every attempt
to capture them or drive them away; at least
up to now they have avoided coming to rest
on the boards during the games.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the fire fighters
netted a baby falcon that was also loose in
the building, maybe hunting its lunch in the
form of the pigeons.
Today sees the start of the World Com-
puter Championship; about thirty programs
will fight it out (in the first hall, next to the
Fiat Auto stand) for the title of best chess-
playing software. Among the personalities
present is David Levy, famous for his bet of
£1250 in 1968 that no program would be
able to beat him in the next ten years.
Ten years later he just scraped past the
then world champion chess program, so he

won the bet but lost one of the 4 games!
The Turin Olympiad is being followed
all over the world and some 300 journalists
are accredited: dozens and dozens of articles
are coming out in every country and in eve-
ry language, on every continent, every day.
Chess really is a universal language!
But the internet is not to be taken lightly
either: we have touched a record 3,800,000
hits but as things start to heat up, this num-
ber is destined to increase.
Curiosities on the stands in the first hall
include the pieces made out of taps, that of
Trenitalia, that of Fiat Auto (you can ask for
a free run-out in one of the cars) and that of
the Turin Chess Club, whose idea it was to
organise the Chess Olympiad here in Turin.
Also worth a visit are the stands of the Re-
gion, Province and Municipality to help you
get to know the city, environs and the region
of Piedmont as a whole.
And let’s not forget the Dresden stand,
advertising the city that will be hosting the
Olympiad in 2008.
The fourth round saw the first official
complaint: for reasons of privacy we cannot
publish the names of the people involved
but here are the facts. In one of the games
in the women’s tournament, a player alleged
that her opponent was not the same as the
player shown on the identity card, but some-
body else with another name. The game was
paused for a time but, after in depth investi-
gation, it was confirmed that everything was
in order: the player whose identity was in
doubt was recognised by two arbiters from
a neighbouring country.

Open
tournaments

T
he over thousand players competing in the Olympiads are not really alone
in Turin. When most of their games are finished, and only a few endings are
on the main stage, a lot of chess enthusiasts sit down in the nearby hall in the
same Oval venue and start fighting.
After having looked at the champion games, spectators can play themselves
in contests of all kinds in the City of Turin International Chess Festival. Maybe this is not the
best period of the year for holding tournaments for amateur chess players, as summer holiday
time has yet to come, but the Olympiads chance was worth a bet. And the bet has indeed been
successful, as numbers are showing.
For the lovers of serious play an array of open
tournaments is available. Open A is the main event,
with nine rounds and 114 players with a FIDE rating
or an equivalent natio- nal Elo. Players of a wide
range of strength take part, from the 1402 rating of
a club player to the 2410 Elo of the only GM in the
tournament, Igor Naumkin from Russia, who compe-
tes for the 800 € first prize with a handful of. IM such
as Sergei Simonenko (Tu- rkmenistan) and Vincent
Colin (France). Almost half of the players have a rating
above 2100, thus ensuring that everybody has the
chance, at least in the first rounds, to meet master
strenghs opponents.
For less ambitious players Open B allows to meet opponents with a rating up to 2100 Elo
and has 68 participants.
Open C (up to 1800 Elo) and D (up to 1500 Elo) are dedicated to club players and if locals
clearly are the majority of the 170 participants, even here players from other countries can
also be found.
For those who are not willing to spend hours on a single game on the chessboard, or simply
cannot afford to take a holiday week, Active Chess (30 minutes thinking time) and Blitz (10
minutes) tournaments are the perfect choice for one or two evenings of real fun.
