Mike Klein at chess.com brings us up to date on the chess-go match:

https://www.chess.com/news/chess-go-...ing-match-2272

Three small excerpts:

Held in conjunction with the 60th European Go Congress in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Hillarp Persson and Alexander Morozevich played two games of rapid chess and two games of go (All games were roughly G/30.). They alternated between the two. Had there been a need for a tiebreaker, a coin-flip would have determined in which discipline the tiebreak game would have been fought.

Morozevich won the first game of chess.

Next up, they put away their pieces and picked up their stones. Morozevich started with Black. In go, the black stones have the first play, and White receives 6.5 compensation points (Komi). The compensation points are added to White's final score. In a small surprise, Morozevich took that opening game. One of our own Chess.com staffers reviewed the tape and estimated the final score to be 42 to 26 in Black's favor.

Morozevich won the second chess game.

With Morozevich now up 3-0, the match was decided with one game of go remaining. Hillarp Person got on the scoreboard by taking the final battle.

Re: On the Morozevich Watch

Lol, I loved Klein's rhetorical annotation on Morozevich's 5.h4 in game one, to wit, "Out of Rapport, Williams, or Morozevich, who's more likely to push his h-pawn on move 5?

Morozevich proceeded to trump that move in game two with 3. ...g5?! Klein comments, "About half of the iterations of this rare move are attributable to Morozevich." :)

Russian Rapid and Blitz Championships

The Tal Memorial is on – it has Kramnik, Tomashevsky, Nepo and Svidler. There is a huge Open on the Isle of Man, but not a single Russian among the participants. Where have all the Russians gone?

A partial answer would be to Sochi for the Russian Rapid and Blitz Championships (Oct. 1-4), which have about 150 players from Russia and 15 or so from Ukraine, Germany and Armenia.

Dmitry Andreikin with an Elo of 2743 is seeded first and Alexander Morozevich at 2716 is rated second. Daniil Dubov gave up his commentating duties at the Tal to come to Sochi and play with Artemiev, Popov, Dreev, Alekseev, Vitiugov, Motylev, Khismatullin and the rest.

The second and final day of rapids was today and the final ranking after 10 rounds is:

1. Andreikin 8.0
2. Dubov 8.0
3. Moiseenko 8.0
4. Artemiev 7.5
5. Riazantsev 7.5
6. Dreev 7.5
7. Bologan 7.5
8. Savchenko 7.5

Morozevich was 17th, sharing 7.0 points with eleven others.

http://chess-results.com/tnr241274.a...1&rd=10&wi=821

I can find 8 of his games from the rapids and I give his four wins. We musn’t lose sight of this talented player.

December 20, 2016

The traditional Nutcracker tournament is on in Moscow. In it, seasoned grandmasters (the Kings) are playing “youth” (the Princes). The venue is the Central Chess House on Gogolevsky Boulevard in Moscow.

There is also a match of Queens vs Princesses. The Russians seem to have a penchant for such things. I recall that back in March of 2015 there was the contest of Blondes vs Brunettes. It seems non-PC to me, so I will just cite a reference:

http://www.chessdom.com/match-blonde...-at-ostankino/

_______

Anyway, getting back to Kings vs Princes, the teams are:

Kings

1. Boris Gelfand
2. Alexander Morozevich
3. Alexei Shirov
4. Alexey Dreev

Princes

1. Vladimir Fedoseev
2. Daniil Dubov
3. Vladislav Artemiev
4. Girgoriy Oparin

As always, the tournament follows the Scheveningen system with one member of each team playing all members of the other team.

Classical chess games were played on December 17-20, and on December 21 and 22, the players will move to rapid chess. The winning teams will be determined by the total number of points scored by the players. For the classical part, it's 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. It's 1, ½ and 0 respectively for rapid.

https://www.chess.com/news/view/gene...ournament-7101

The Kings have a small lead over the Princes (17-15) in the classical.

I give the four games of Morozevich, all draws:

Re: On the Morozevich Watch

On the Morozevich Watch

April 19, 2017

Alexander Morozevich recently gave a lecture at the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth and Tourism.

Some extracts below:

https://chess24.com/en/read/news/mor...d-than-carlsen

http://press.sportedu.ru/item/grossm...a-na-partiyu-v
_______

When I was in the elite I needed to follow and get to grips with such information. Now I’m playing for pleasure, doing more coaching and writing methodological material and I’ve got absolutely no interest in getting into the minor intrigues of FIDE.
________

Carlsen, in my view, has a better feel than anyone else for changes on the board. I don’t have the impression that he’s the most talented, if I have the right to judge chess talent. I’ve played a lot of games against all the elite players, and that’s my “experienced” opinion. Carlsen is very balanced. He has outstanding drive, he’s exceptionally strong-willed and ambitious. That’s visible in all games, even when in training sessions we played basketball on one hoop. For us that was a way of switching off and relaxing, but for Magnus it was another arena for victory. Of course the majority of elite players have that “killer instinct”, as otherwise it would be tough to achieve similar heights. During games against him I got the feeling that I was playing with an intelligent opponent. In tricky situations he makes not the best, but intelligent moves – it’s hard to explain. That’s the reason he so invariably plays rapid and blitz well. No other sportsman has such stability. In my opinion there are players more talented than Carlsen: such as Ivanchuk or Nepomniachtchi. But they always lack that desire, that drive. Therefore Carlsen is for now the number one.
________

When talented people leave a country it’s undoubtedly a loss. People look for stability and, perhaps, they find it. I didn’t have that need. At 17 years old, when I won a rapid tournament in New York, certain people actively worked on me: “Look at the events taking place in Russia – stay here, and with us you’ll be a millionaire, we’ll organise everything for you”. I said that I want to become a chess player and not a cash cow, and therefore being in Russia was optimal for me. I had a period when I worked for half a year as a coach in Qatar. It was a good experience, in order to grasp how things are “over there”, but no more. I consider Russia a good place for a chess player.
________

At a meeting of the participants it was decided to continue the tournament in a rapid format, with expensive souvenirs as the prizes. I managed to catch hold of Vassily Ivanchuk and used every means I could to lure him into playing blitz. Naturally he looked at me without enthusiasm: he was third in the world, while back then I’d only made it to the bottom of the Top 100. For third place in the rapid tournament they awarded me a box of wine. In order to get Vassily’s attention I generously put my whole box up for grabs. Back then such a chance to play was unique. Now you have the internet at your disposal and you can find the most varied players, even the elite, and play games against them. A huge stream of information is available: databases, books, annotated games, magazines, articles. From the point of view of knowledge chess has become more accessible, and thanks to that, young players should develop faster.

Moro is presently playing in the TePe Sigeman Tournament in Sweden. This is a 6-player round-robin tournament taking place from 4-8 May 2018 at the Hipp Theater in Malmo, Sweden featuring GM Vidit Gujrathi, GM Alexander Morozevich, GM Nils Grandelius, GM Benjamin Gledura, GM Aryan Tari and IM Linus Johansson. There are no tiebreaks nor playoffs.

On the official website there is an interview with Alexander in which he discusses what he is now doing:

Alexander Morozevich

“I consider myself to be a positional player”

Interview by Ingemar Falk

http://www.tepesigemanchess.com/alexander-morozevich/

You don´t play so many classical tournaments anymore. What made you decide to play in TePe Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament?

”I have never been to Sweden and I still like to play small classical round robin events”.

Your peak rating was world number 2 in 2008, but only two years later you barely played a tournament game. What happened? Was it because of lost inspiration?

”Sometimes we all need a break, and the other top players had it too. I was back in 2011, refreshed, and showed a good and stable results.”

What is your goal as a chess player nowadays?

”I stopped playing professional chess at the beginning of 2015, so as a chess player, I have no goals. As a chess master I still have goals and duties – to share my knowledge to raise my students, to contribute to the popularization of chess all over the world. As well as with the other board games.”

You still have a huge fan base – in what way do you feel the big support?

”If you mean the number of viewers of my blitz games vs Carlsen on Youtube – I still believe it has much more to do with the name Carlsen, rather to my small efforts. Therefore, the mentioned “huge fan base” remains a bit of mystery to me, and I almost never were in contact with them.”

You are famous for your unorthodox playing style. Shall we prepare for that also in TePe Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament?

”Popular opinion about my play, but strangely enough, I always considered myself to be a classical and positional player. Maybe the Tepe Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament will give us an answer?”

You turned 40 this summer. Did you have any special feelings for your birthday, or do you see 40 only as a number?

“It was special in a way that everybody told me that its strictly forbidden to celebrate it, so apart from very modest boat trip, I almost did nothing that day. Feeling wise it’s not as awful as I thought – half way-half done – with the point being to be on the brighter side of this ’half’”

You have had a great chess career. Which achievement do you rank as number 1 so far?

“I still remain an interesting person to people from very different social classes, and still able to create an auditorium on topics absolutely not related to chess. That’s clearly something I am very proud of about my professional chess career.”

You have the ranking of 2 kyu in Go, and you beat Tiger Hillarp Persson in a Go game in 2016. How much Go do you play nowadays?

“That match in 2016 was really something historical and I am happy to be part of it. I am also very grateful for Tiger for making it possible, hope that despite the result he enjoyed it too. Recently I moved even to the 1 national dan but overall Go is my hobby and I was never very serious about it. It’s just another brilliant and very deep game which I can compare with chess. I did play lots of small tournament in Russia for the last 1,5 years but in 2018 I have another calendar with almost no Go events, and with bridge and archery tournaments most likely to come.

Re: On the Morozevich Watch

In your 4th post in this thread you comment
"There is a huge Open on the Isle of Man, but not a single Russian among the participants. Where have all the Russians gone?"
Which sparked an old Peter, Paul & Mary tune memory in me with 'new' lyrics >>>>

Where have all the Russians gone?
Gone to Gulags, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the Gulags gone?
Gone to freedom every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where has all the freedom gone?
Gone to Putin every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where has all of Putin gone?

He's not going anywhere.
Get used to it!

With apologies for my poor composition. And also arrived at a dead end with Putin, hence the prose lines at the end. :)

The 2018 Russian Blitz Team Championship took place in the Zhemchuzhina Hotel in Sochi on October 10. The 15-round Swiss tournament featurd 26 teams of four players. The time control is 3 minutes for all moves with a 2-second increment from move 1. Standings are determined by match points (2 for a win, 1 for a draw) then game points. Official website: ruchess.ru

A tweet on chess24.com said simply:

He’s still got it!

and gave the scores with Morozevich’s 14 opponents from which he garnered 13 points.
