His position is subjectively better; he has 2 pawns for the exchange so material is approximately even. Oh well, hopefully the tournament organizers, in this and other tournaments, have learned from this fiasco and they will give more thought to the tiebreak procedures for other tournaments. What’s in store for the coming months for the chess fans? I mean, he could have won both of his last games too, but that is just how it goes.". What's "natural" to me might be "unnatural" to you and vice versa. I have said the same thing several times, most recently in Tata Steel Masters (2021) (kibitz #416) where I said "Of course, both Carlsen and So [after mentioning some of their experiences with the arbiters] were mature adults and Firouzja is still only 17, so I would excuse his behavior, even though this is not the first time that he has thrown a tantrum when he disagreed [with the organizers]. I don't know if that's arrogance or not since arrogance, like beauty, is mostly in the eye of the beholder, so I'll let the readers decide.

Maybe that's another indication that sometimes you miss the context of the text? Many people consider the situation a disgrace and complain about how poorly Firouzja was treated. To the online viewers, it looked like Giri lost on time in a winning position. Winning a Pyrrhic victory takes a heavy toll that negates any true sense of achievement or damages long-term progress.>.

In the final position, he couldn't prevent his opponent from queening a pawn, and as he leaned back in disbelief, he resigned while letting his clock run down to zero. If a tie for first place between two players there would be two Blitz playoff games (5 min + 3 sec), and if necessary an Armageddon game (5 vs 4 min, with 3 sec added per move from move 60). Van Foreest: "I felt bad for Anish, and I felt a bit bad about this game. So the total is around 11-15 pawns structures with black. If you prefer black playing Caro-can instead, then white has the following (main) structures that black should be familiar with: The advanced variation (that you gave here), the classical variation, the exchange variation, the panov variation, and maybe count the two-knights variation as well (although that one usually transposes to the classical or the exchange pawn structures). It was a really tough game, and I think happiness will come later," said van Foreest after this game, not realizing how prophetic these words would be. The oldest brother from a large family of chess players won the "Wimbledon of chess," a tournament of 13 classical rounds over the course of 16 days by remaining undefeated, scoring plus four, and winning the blitz playoff in the armageddon game.

I only added that comment about the context as an addition to the above (since it seemed like you missed the reason I said all that about the K-factor). (and before you'll start asking me if I think or tend to think that, I'll clarify that I am talking here from my own experience, and from the impression I got when talking with other chess players). I would think that during the 13th and final round Firouzja would have wanted to know how the games of his competition for first place had finished. . I do think that you tend to focus on every small detail, which is one of your biggest strengths, but sometimes it comes on the expense of noticing other considerations, or seeing the bigger picture if you like (or the "context" for that matter). I gave a detailed and fully coherent explanation there, as to why I told that the K-factor mechanism can be used to protect higher rated players, as long as it is line with the purpose of the rating system (including its K-factor of course, which is one of its mechanisms).

In my example, the black player played the Sicilian, and I explained how many major pawn structures white can choose, and how many black can choose against the main line (the open Sicilian).

It also does not rely on additional tiebreak games played at faster time controls which, IMO, have no relevance in determining the better player in a tournament played at slower time controls.

One guideline that you can have there, is whether the opening variation has a name, and how popular that name is. "After he sac'ed the exchange, I think I was considerably better. However, the first move after the time control is still a transition-move, where players take the time to relax, to realize what was going on during the time trouble, what is going on the board now, and how they want to move on.

Surely Firouzja would have wanted to find out as soon as possible the results of the games between his competition as listed above. (4) If Firouzja drew and Van Foreest won Van Foreest would be ahead in SB points, 52.75 to his 48.00. As to fide-rating, here Sonas explains how rating-floors could affect rating inflation (that I mentioned in regard to rating floors), and why (overrated) players that join the pool temporally (and then leave it) donate rating points: . If a tie between three or more players the ones to play the Blitz playoff would be decided by 1) mutual result, 2) Sonneborn-Berger score, 3) N games with black, 4) drawing of lots. As I said, that's just an intuition, and I don't intend to investigate it any further. Rest days: 20, 25 and 28 January. There is a point when you stop being a gentleman." National ratings usually have rating floors that players cannot drop below them, without them leaving the player pool (or turn into unrated players). The formula itself wasn't designed to have artificial restrictions such as: player rating can't drop below some level, or player leaving the pool when he drops below some level, or two players can't play against each other due to gender considerations, or players getting sudden rating bonus (we had that too, for women), etc. The sweet reward of 3rd place and the prize money.

The match went down the wire with an all-decisive armageddon game. As for your attacks on me using the "Context" word: In the 3 links that you gave there (one link was a duplicate), I didn't even say once that the other user missed the context of my posts ("context" was mentioned there for different reasons). Frankly, I consider repeating the statement that I take words out of context as a mild form of an ad hominem attack; if you can't come up with reasons why you disagree with a position that a person has, you try to demean the person as a means to reduce the credibility of his argument. The regular round saw two more decisive games. In that specific example, white is giving the tone about the pawn structure. So a draw was the likely outcome even if Firouzja was "rattled" by the situation. 12 Wojtaszek 34 2705 ½ 0 0 0 ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ * ½ ½ 5 ", The youngest of the two Dutchmen, who is a friend and has helped Giri as a second in the past, praised Giri: "Full credit to him, he played a really good tournament, really deserved to win it. Van Foreest: Score = 7.5, SB = 43.25. From this it's not hard for his team to figure out before the beginning of the last round that: (1) If Firouzja and Caruana both won they would both finish with the same 8.5 score but Caruana would be ahead in SB score, 50.50 to 50.25. Jorden Van Foreest played enterprising chess throughout the event, showing great opening preparation (his win over Nils Grandelius was particularly remarkable), combined with energetic middlegame play. You can shorten it even more in future posts by referring to me as "AKDP". (2) If Firouzja drew and Esipenko won, both would finish with the same 8.0 score but Firouzja would be ahead in SB score, 50.25 to 49.25. For example: if you ask someone "what does this guy play against 1. e4" then: "he plays the dragon" or "the Najdorf" or "Sveshnikov" or "French Winawer", etc. The 2021 edition of the “chess Wimbledon” at Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee will go down as perhaps the most remarkable, surprising and controversial of all … and there is a reason for that.
