  • Shirov brings fire on board to Ottawa

    Super GM Alexei Shirov will make a return visit to Ottawa this coming February. In addition to his usual simul against up to 40 opponents alternating White and Black, participants in his lecture will be treated to his analysis of their games. The events will take place at the RA Centre in Ottawa. The simul is at 7 p.m. on Thursday 23 February and the lecture the following Saturday at 2 p.m. For registrations in December the charge will be $80 for the combined simul/lecture plus $10 for non-members of the Ottawa RA Chess club. For the simul alone it will be $40 plus $5 for non-members. If seats remain, the price will increase by $10 ($5 for simul only) in January.
    I will be taking registrations at the RA on Thursday evenings and at the start of the National Capital Open later this month. Alternatively, please mail your cheque in the appropriate amount to Gordon Ritchie, 1837 Juno Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario, K1H6S6.
    It should be an interesting and unique opportunity to have a superGM analyse his game against you in the simul---especially if you win!

    Desjardins - Shirov on ChessCafe

    Gary Lane analyzes the "Frankenstein-Dracula" game between Michel Desjardins and Shirov from last year's RA Chess Club Shirov simul.

    He even suggests Michel try the line again when Shirov comes to play in Feb 2012. :D

      Just a reminder that I will be taking registrations for these events at the NCO this Friday through Sunday. This is a unique opportunity not only to play a superGM but then to have him present his analysis of the game.:)

        There are still a couple of seats left for the Shirov lecture/simul. As of January 1, the price is $100 for the lecture/simul or $50 for the simul alone ($10 off the lecture and $5 off the simul for RA members). To date, the following have registered for the combined lecture/simul:
        Halldor Palsson
        Gordon Ritchie
        Stijn De Kerpel
        Bill Doubleday
        Keven Eyre
        Amos Kuttner
        Simon Kuttner
        Francesco Dunne*
        Jacub Krolczyk*
        Donel Doneev*
        Anthony Ivanenco
        Ryan Yang
        Ramon Cova
        John Upper*
        Plus several players from the Friday simul in Gatineau.
        These players will see their own games against Shirov analyzed by the grandmaster himself at the lecture.
        The following additional players are registered for the simul alone:
        Kamal Balazadeh
        Roger Hubley
        Eric Nguyen
        Mate Marinkovic.
        There are still seats left but, if past experience is any guide, they will fill up quickly between now and the end of January. Priority will be given to those signing up for the combination lecture/simul.
