    Hoogeveen Chess Tournament 2017

    September 22, 2017

    By Peter Boel on the official site:

    http://hoogeveenchess.nl/en/hoogevee...oreest-adhiban

    The participants for the Hoogeveen Chess Matches are known. World top player Vassily Ivanchuk will play the highly talented Wei Yi from China, on 21-26 October in the town hall of Hoogeveen. The Dutch top talent Jorden van Foreest is paired against the strong grandmaster Adhiban Baskaran from India.

    Vassily Ivanchuk, from Ukraine, has belonged to the world chess elite for thirty years and is still able to surprise an audience with his brilliant discoveries on the board and his erratic behaviour off it. 18-year-old Wei Yi has been regarded as Magnus Carlsen’s possible successor for several years, and has won various big tournaments already.

    The great Dutch talent, Jorden van Foreest, also 18, won the national Dutch title last year. He will play one of the greatest exponents of current Indian chess, Adhiban Baskaran. Adhiban is an engaging personality, who surprised everyone early this year with his third place in the Tata Steel tournament.

    The tournament has received a financial injection from a group of 32 local entrepreneurs, who will make a contribution to the event under the name ‘Corps 32’.

    The matches will be played daily from Saturday 21-Thursday 26 October. The games start at 14.00h. At the same time, a strong open tournament will be held in the Hoogeveen town hall. This open starts on Saturday 21 October and ends on Saturday 28 October (9 rounds). At this point, grandmasters Abhijeet Gupta (the winner of last year), Sipke Ernst, Roeland Pruijssers and Sahai Grover (like Gupta, from India) have already applied.

    Two amateur tournaments will also be held on the same days as the open tournament, one of them in the mornings and the other in the afternoons.

          Does Wei Yi fashion a fortress that Ivanchuk cannot break through?

          Playoffs
          Matches


          All games are rated, even the games played after one player has already won the match.

          If a match ends in 3-3 the two players have to play a tie-break match. They play a two-game mini-match at the rate of all the moves in 3 minutes with 2 seconds added on for each move from move 1. If this match is tied a new drawing of lots for colours will take place. The winner will be the first winner of a game. After each odd-numbered game the colours will be reversed.

            Hoogeveen Tournament 2017

            Report on the Playoffs

            Ivanchuk and Van Foreest win playoffs


            Vassily Ivanchuk and Jorden van Foreest were both too strong in blitz for their opponents. The playoffs alternated between the two boards, in front of quite a big audience.

            In the first game Wei Yi won a pawn but got under pressure and used a lot of time. Ivanchuk ended up a few pawns to the good and missed (or didn't want to play) the pseudo sacrifice Rxf5 for a lot of moves. When he finally played it, it was soon over.

            Jorden van Foreest opened the first game with the London System, and overpowered Adhiban with white and won a piece.
            In the return game Ivanchuk played the Scandinavian with black. Both sides castled queenside, but after Ivanchuk's 14... e5 break in the centre, White was in trouble. He couldn't keep defending the knight on f5 and after 18... b5 Wei Yi shook his head and resigned.

            Adhiban was slowly working on an attack in the final game of the other match when Van Foreest started grabbing some pawns. 24... Nxc3 was incredible - White could just take the knight. And two moves later 27. Qd7 would have won on the spot. After this Van Foreest was really on fire and countered very sharply to the win: also 2-0! So Jorden van Foreest has finally won his first match in Hoogeveen.

            Paintings for the match winners

            At the prizegiving of the matches, Vassily Ivanchuk and Jorden van Foreest received a painting of them and their opponents made by the Dutch artist Frans Drummen.

            The 'losers' got another prize: Wei Yi and Adhiban Baskaran will be playing a Basque match tomorrow in the Marriage Room, while Ivanchuk is going to play checkers with Jan Groenendijk tomorrow at the province house in Assen.

            'It was nice to see Vassily play the Sicilian', Van Wely said. 'You asked me - I had no choice!' Ivanchuk replied laughingly. 'Only in blitz I allowed myself a Scandinavian'. And yes, it brought him success.

            'Hoogeveen is a very nice place', the Ukrainian said after his remarkable recovery. 'It was a big pleasure to be here.'
