Re: Cappelle La Grande - International Chess Open 2011

Sadly, Kevin Spraggett lost [horribly] to Vovk in the final round. Overall he did pretty well though and finished on 6/9 (+4 = 4 -1) with a 2608 rating performance. Not bad for a veteran!

Dreev played the variation Kevin used today, with success. He played 13. exf5 which seemed to give him fluid play.

Kevin is white against Yuri Vovk

He is a Ukrainian chess player which became a Grandmaster in 2008, at age 20.
His major success has been the victory in February 2009 of the colossal Cappelle-la-Grande open in France, above 106 Grandmasters and 76 International masters (610 players), with 7.5 points out of 9:

Re: Cappelle La Grande - International Chess Open 2011

Kevin has a big game in his final round. He still has a chance for a first place tie if he wins. Kevin has white.

Board 1 has to be a draw and the other leader on board 2 has to draw or lose for a big first place tie.

Re: Cappelle La Grande - International Chess Open 2011

Kevin Spraggett beat Henrik Teske and is in joint 2nd place with 5.5/7 (+4 =3 -0). He is the only 'veteran' near the top of the standings. Hopefully he can do well in the remaining rounds.

He faces Hans Tikkanen (2550) with black in Round 8.

Re: Cappelle La Grande - International Chess Open 2011

I'm certainly not master level, but after 9 c3, NCO has +/=. My computer thought the game was even for quite a while.

Computers have a horizon effect. I figure NCO is simply wrong with that evaluation and maybe they used a computer analysis.

In any case, if the line is good for black you'd see it more in top play.
