Day 5: Carlsen and So on collision course

The semifinalists returned to action after the rest day ready to fight, as Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So took a commanding four-point lead over Levon Aronian and Fabiano Caruana respectively. The matches mirrored each other in results, as neither Caruana nor Aronian was able to find their footing and score a single win. Even with a big score discrepancy, neither match is in the bag as wins in games 11 and 12 will be worth three points each, leaving room for big comebacks. Tomorrow, the two Clutch Chess International finalists will be decided. Magnus Carlsen vs Levon Aronian 6-2 The World Champion was merciless yesterday, although the match could have taken a different turn had Aronian converted his big advantage with the black pieces in the first game. The Armenian Grandmaster collapsed in the time scramble, grabbing a poisoned pawn and resigning three moves later. In the second game, Carlsen opted for the Alekhine Defense, an unusual opening choice at the top level. Aronian was severely punished for leaving his king in the center for too long. After drawing a balanced game in round three, Aronian again missed chances in game four, the final encounter before the clutch games, letting his opponent escape unscathed. Carlsen extended his lead to 4 points with a kingside attack after his opponent failed to create active counter chances. Disaster could have really struck in the final game had the World Champion blundered in a completely winning position, allowing his opponent to get away with a perpetual. In the postgame interview, Carlsen expressed his satisfaction with both the result and the quality of the games, while Aronian shared his strategy for tomorrow of “going berserk” to keep his chances alive. Wesley So vs Fabiano Caruana 6-2 The two rivals met again a mere 12 days after the final battle in the inaugural Clutch Chess USA. In the first game, Caruana took a gamble with a risky opening that he described as a bluff but it still required precision from his opponent. So’s opening preparation was superb as was his play in the rest of the game. His win in the second game came as a result of Caruana’s mistake on move 66 when instead of equalizing the game with some tactics, the world number two went astray. The two games before the clutch portion were relatively quiet draws, with So being on the better side of it in game four. In the first clutch game, Caruana opted for another surprise in the opening, the Evans Gambit. He reached a winning position as his pieces moved to the kingside to attack his opponent’s exposed king. After letting the advantage slip, Caruana didn’t backtrack at the right moment, allowing his opponent to create a mating net himself. Caruana tried to squeeze water out of stone in the final clutch game but never had any realistic winning chances. In their postgame interviews, both players agreed that the match isn’t over with six points on the line in the final two games. So also observed that his opponent employed a different strategy in this match, surprising him in the opening.

Day 4: Aronian and Caruana make it to semifinals

Congratulations to Levon Aronian and Fabiano Caruana on defeating Alexander Grischuk and Leinier Dominguez respectively and qualifying for the semifinals. Both matches were highly contentious and were decided in the final clutch game. Dominguez and Grischuk are eliminated from the event, earning $15,000 each, with Grischuk picking up an extra $4,000 for his clutch game victories. Two very exciting semifinal matches are ahead as Aronian takes World Champion Carlsen, while Caruana and So show a rematch of Clutch Chess USA finals. The action will resume on Thursday as players take a rest day today. Levon Aronian vs Alexander Grischuk 10-8 It comes as no surprise that the match between these two entertaining and creative players was a nail-biter. Even though Aronian entered the day with a two-point lead, the match could have gone either way at any moment. After a draw in the first game, Grischuk punished his opponent’s adventurous pawn grab, narrowing the gap. Although Grischuk is a three-time World Blitz Champion, he is notorious for time trouble in longer games and was severely punished for it in game three. Game 10 ended in a draw after Grischuk missed several opportunities to score the victory. However, the game was irrelevant for the standings, as the Russian Grandmaster needed to score a win and a draw in the final two clutch games to advance to the semifinals. He accomplished the first part of this task in the penultimate game with an aggressive attack right out of the opening, leapfrogging his opponent and only needing a draw in the final game. The dramatic final game was the perfect culmination to the match. The evaluation of the position changed several times throughout the encounter, but it was Grischuk who made the decisive mistake, allowing a beautiful tactical sequence that sealed the deal for his opponent. With this true clutch win, the Armenian Grandmaster earned an extra $4,000 and a spot in the semifinals. Fabiano Caruana vs Leinier Dominguez 10.5 – 7.5 This back and forth match was a fierce battle, which resulted in four decisive games. Surprisingly, the tumultuous pre-clutch games all ended in Black’s favor. Since the disaster in the first game, Caruana’s Caro Kann has held up quite nicely, yielding him two points on the second day of the match. Dominguez’s wins were in the Nimzo-Indian after long technical battles. His second win of the day came as Caruana blundered on move 81, finding himself in a zugzwang. Dominguez entered the clutch games with a three-point deficit but could still advance to the semifinals with a win and a draw. Caruana mishandled the winning rook endgame in a time scramble in game 11, allowing his opponent to escape with a draw and keep his hopes alive. In the final game, the world number two’s new pet line, the Caro Kann Defense, proved to be unbreakable as Caruana earned a draw to qualify for the semifinals.  Text: WGM Tatev Abrahamyan You can watch the action LIVE at USChessChamps.com (official website) Press Contact: Rebecca Buffington rbuffington@saintlouischessclub.org

Anniversary chess match Space – Earth ends in a draw

On June 9, the second chess match between Space and Earth took place in the main hall of the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics. The event has been co-organized by the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics, the Roscosmos State Corporation, the Chess Federation of Russia, and the social network VKontakte. The match featured pilot-cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin, Hero of the Russian Federation, and test-cosmonaut Ivan Vagner, who played from aboard the International Space Station.  Representing team Earth was Sergey Karjakin – a former Rapid and Blitz World Champion, and two-time winner of the world team championships as part of the Russian team. He was making his moves in the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics. The match was timed with the half-century anniversary of the first Space – Earth chess game played on June 9, 1970. Just like 50 years ago, the first move advantage belonged to the space crew. The game ended in a draw after a sharp tactical battle in the Ruy Lopez. The VKontakte platform attracted more than 800,000 people watching the match broadcast. A cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin noted that it was a great honor for cosmonauts to hold their ground against a grandmaster. Sergey Karjakin also shared his impressions of the game: “In this game, my emotions ran higher than in any game I played in the world championship match. This is because when you play against team Space, you have no idea what to expect. The game was very interesting and sharp, and, at the same time, quite a correct one in terms of chess content. I do not think the opponents have made any mistakes; therefore, a draw is a natural outcome. A human brain seems to function extremely well in space. Space brings people together, they say. As we have seen today, chess can indeed help people of various professions reach each other even across space. With this in mind, let us organize such matches more frequently than on a once-per-50-year basis. The anniversary match became the culmination of celebrations dedicated to the legendary chess game. A well-known TV presenter and sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev and the head of the Museum’s press service Daria Chudnaya hosted the show. The Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Oleg Matytsin, Director General of the Roscosmos State Corporation Dmitry Rogozin, and the Museum of Cosmonautics Director Natalya Artyukhina sent greetings to the participants of this match. During the stream, the audience had a chance to watch a video telling a story behind the legendary space chess set used in the first Space – Earth match and an interview with the multiple World Champion Anatoly Karpov. You can watch the match with commentary in English on the YouTube channels of Roscosmos and FIDE.

Day 3: Carlsen and So through to semifinals

Congratulations to Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So on qualifying for the semifinals after defeating Jeffery Xiong and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave respectively. So clinched the match with a round to spare while the battle between Carlsen and Xiong was a close affair decided in the final game. Vachier-Lagrave and Xiong are both eliminated, earning $15,000 each, with Xiong collecting a bonus of $2,000 for defeating the World Champion in clutch game number 5. Carlsen will face the winner of the Levon Aronian vs. Alexander Grischuk match, whereas So will square off against one of his countrymen, the winner of the Fabiano Caruana vs Leinier Dominguez match. These aforementioned matches will resume today. Magnus Carlsen vs. Jeffery Xiong  11.5 – 6.5 Jeffery Xiong started the day off strong by getting a better position out of the opening then capitalizing on a blunder by his opponent, thus equalizing the score. The 19-year-old also had winning chances in the second game, but the World Champion created enough opportunities to escape unscathed. Xiong felt that the third game was the critical point of the match, one he did not recover from psychologically. As the commentators were ready to call the game a draw, the American mistakenly traded down to a lost king and pawn endgame, resigning several moves later. Xiong’s mental anguish was clear in the next game, as he allowed a brute force attack on his king and resigned in 25 moves. Even with a two-point deficit, the American grandmaster had the better tiebreaks in case of a tie as he had previously won a clutch game. He needed to score a win and a draw in the remaining two clutch games, where each win was worth three points. After a comfortable draw for Carlsen with the black pieces in the penultimate game, his opponent had a monumental task ahead of him: a must-win situation with the black pieces. Carlsen had the advantage in the middlegame and sealed the deal after his opponent’s blunder. He also picked up the $8,000 rolled over bonus for this win. In the postgame interview, Carlsen observed that the match could have gone either way and shared the frustration he felt in the first two games due to playing poorly and not winning. The young American star received a lot of praise both from his opponent and the commentators and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to face the World Champion. Wesley So vs. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave 13-5 The fast-paced match ended before Carlsen and Xiong were even halfway through theirs! Maxime Vachier-Lagrave entered the match three points behind his opponent but still had excellent chances to turn the tables. The first two games ended peacefully after both players had missed a few opportunities. The third game could have been the breaking point in this match as well and was the perfect example of why rook endgames are notoriously difficult and need to be played out until the end. When it seemed as though the game was heading towards yet another draw, So went astray, allowing his opponent to clinch the win with a pawn sacrifice taking advantage of his king being cut off. The fourth game was also Vachier-Lagrave’s to take, but a pawn grab cost him everything, as the Frenchman allowed so much counterplay on the back rank, that he was the one who had to force the draw. The American clinched the match in the penultimate game but not without some problems. While choosing between two moves in a winning position, So chose the one that blundered a pawn and was very obviously an upset on camera. However, he still showed his brilliance by finding a tactical shot that ended the game. The final game ended in fifteen moves as Vachier-Lagrave seemed too jaded after the previous two games to concentrate fully. With this win, So earned all the clutch bonus money, totaling to $10,000. Unsurprisingly, the former US Champion is a big fan of this format but keeps his focus on his play rather than bonus prizes.

Day 2: Caruana and Aronian pull ahead

Day two of Clutch Chess International featured two exciting matchups: Fabiano Caruana vs Leinier Dominguez and Levon Aronian vs Alexander Grischuk. The all American pairing was a rematch from their last encounter in the previous Clutch Chess USA, which Caruana won in a dominant fashion. He finished the first half of the match with a three-point lead. Aronian and Grischuk are two of the most entertaining, creative, and well-liked personalities in the chess world and their match today did not lack any flavor. The tumultuous game-six fight ended in the favor of the Armenian grandmaster but could have easily gone in the other direction. Caruana and Aronian picked up an extra $2,000 each for their clutch game victories. These two matches will resume on Tuesday, as today the two semifinalists of the Magnus Carlsen vs Jeffery Xiong and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave vs Wesley So will be determined. Fabiano Caruana vs Leinier Dominguez  5.5 – 2.5 After their last encounter in the first edition of Clutch Chess, Dominguez finally got his chance for vengeance. He started off with a crushing win in the Caro Kann where Caruana was on the defense from the opening. The world number two had winning chances in the second game but blundered his extra piece to a simple pin. Game three is when things went downhill for Dominguez. In an equal endgame, he blundered with a pawn capture, allowing his opponent to trade down to a winning king and pawn endgame. The commentators felt that the result was a shift in the momentum as the former World Blitz Champion never seemed to recover from the mistake. He was outplayed in game four, thus entering the two clutch games with a one-point deficit. Caruana’s Caro Kann held up much better as not only did he successfully survive the opening but managed to build an attack on the light squares against the enemy king. Dominguez stopped the bleeding with a draw in the final game but ended the day three points behind his opponent. Caruana was confident throughout the match even though the first two games were a struggle; he felt as though his opponent did not overcome the psychological pressure after losing the crucial third game. Levon Aronian vs Alexander Grischuk  5 – 3 The match between Grischuk and Aronian produced some highly instructive endgames and attacking motifs. In the first game, Aronian pressed too hard for a win with the white pieces, ultimately giving up too many pawns for the exchange. The second game could have resulted in a disaster for the Armenian player as he found himself under attack but survived by the skin of his teeth by finding the only defensive method after his opponent’s error. Aronian’s decision to sacrifice an exchange to weaken his opponent’s king and create some practical chances paid off and allowed him to tie the match. The score remained even in the next two games as both players missed winning chances with the white pieces. The final game was a complete rollercoaster ride with the evaluation changing from winning for Aronian to complete draw in the time scramble. While both players made a series of mistakes, but Grischuk was the last to err, which cost him the game and put him two points behind his opponent. Aronian felt that the level of the play was below their abilities but was nonetheless happy to end the night on a high note. In his postgame interview, Aronian pointed out that it was nearly 3 in the morning for him and 2 in the morning for his opponent.
