Aug-20-12    chessgames.com: Official site: http://www.escc2012.eu/ There's a women's section as well, we'll be getting those games shortly. Aug-21-12    paavoh: Ooh, memories from the 70s: Hecht, Balashov,... Aug-21-12    HeMateMe: Is this age 60 and above? Aug-21-12    waustad: Thanks CG. If the rules are the same as in the senior WC, it is 60 for men and 50 for women. Aug-21-12    Strongest Force: Whatever happened to that German GM named Huebner (I think)? He was elite back in the day. He was a candidate but became an egg-headed PHD. Aug-22-12    uscfratingmybyear: No Korchnoi? Aug-22-12    waustad: Huebner has played in the Snowdrops and Old-hands (2011) tournament recently. Also, since Tatyana Fomina is playing in the women's section, women in their 50s are eligible. Aug-22-12    waustad: Since Korchnoi is in a wheel chair now, he may not be travelling as much. Aug-23-12    Troller: Hübner is a character all right, but I don't think he's ever played these senior championships. Karpov could also play now, I guess. But I seem to recall that new distinctions are going to be made, so there will be 2 different senior age groups in the future? Aug-24-12    Octavia: Why are only 3 rds shown when they're playing rd7 today? Also, unfortunately Murey is not playing. Aug-25-12    mike1: 8 rounds played. standing: 1 IM Bogdanov Valentin UKR 2374 6.5 2 GM Balashov Yuri S RUS 2450 6.0 3 GM Kupreichik Viktor D BLR 2434 6.0 4 GM Pushkov Nikolai RUS 2390 6.0 5 GM Chernikov Oleg L RUS 2411 6.0 6 IM Mochalov Evgeny V BLR 2394 6.0 7 FM Gruzmann Boris RUS 2284 6.0 2420 8 IM Maryasin Boris ISR 2324 6.0 2397 9 FM Malmdin Nils-Ake SWE 2297 6.0 and a lot of payers at 5.5 Aug-28-12    brankat: Isn't this event supposed to over by now? Does anyone know the final standings? Thank You. Aug-28-12    chessgames.com: We've learned that Pushkov, Kupreichik, and Mochalov all finished on 7/9. It's unclear if they employ a tiebreak system. The official site still hasn't made the round 9 games available, sorry. Aug-28-12    cro777: Nikolai Pushkov won the European Senior Chess Champion title in the last round. Valentin Bogdanov was a leader before the last round. Half a point behind were eight other players, including Pushkov. Bogdanov lost to Mochalov and Pushkov has defeated Mishuchkov, thus winning the tournament. http://chess-news.ru/en/node/9138 Final crosstable http://chess-results.com/tnr79343.a... The break system According to tournament regulations, the order of players that finish with the same number of points is determined by application of the following tie-breaking procedures : (a) Performance Rating (b) Buchholz cut-1 (c) Buchholz (d) Number of wins.

We have to delete the game from our database as we cannot abide illegal chess moves. Perhaps a move would make sense there and the scoresheet was illegible. Sep-03-12    Shams: <cg.com> Black's 30th must be either ...Qd7 or ...Qe6, with the former making more sense. Sep-14-12    FSR: I hate tiebreaks. They should just declare co-champions.
