| Jun-18-17 | | whiteshark: Rd1:
In the open section top seeds China and Russia both had an easy start, but Turkey held Ukraine to a draw and the USA only squeezed past Norway. Poland beat India in the match of the round, with Duda and Piorun brilliantly making up for Wojtaszek losing to Vidit. https://chess24.com/en/read/news/ru... |
|
| Jun-18-17 | | faulty: a tournament about which many participating nations hardly care at all (considering the team list of Russia and their failure to beat TURKEY of all countries). in this context, the percentage of draws is huge. round 2 disappointed me. little fight |
|
| Jun-18-17 | | fisayo123: <faulty> Russia has most of its highest rated players with conflicting schedules. Turkey also has a team of four grandmasters, many of them being young players with a lot of ambition and enthusiasm to fight. It is hardly a stroll in the park for Russia. Besides, Turkey has already beaten Russia before in past team competitions, namely the 2013 European Team Championships. As for the games, I think you need to pay a bit more attention. With the exception of Ukraine whose team has decided quick draws are the way to go for some weird reason, both rounds have featured a lot of tense, fighting games despite some of them being draws. Round 2 was very exciting. Entertainment wise, I prefer these sort of events from the usual stuff we see in the super elite closed tournaments. |
|
| Jun-18-17 | | faulty: well, tastes differ. today, i mostly watched india-china, and i did not see any ambition from the india side |
|
| Jun-18-17 | | botvinnik64: Why does this link only provide standings and games from the Male gender section? |
|
| Jun-18-17 | | botvinnik64: Anyone, Poland brought their A Team as did China minus Ding; Russia, Ukraine and USA have strong teams, but so many other tourneys to play in...I think China should take this one. |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | amateur05: No one from top 10, no Ivanchuk or Grishchuk, no Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, France, Hungary ... Where are they all? |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | et1: chessgames is duplicating the open secition and omitting the woman's one. |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | sonia91: <amateur05: No one from top 10, no Ivanchuk or Grishchuk, no Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, France, Hungary ... Where are they all?> They did not qualify for this event. Top 10 players, as <fisayo123> pointed out, have conflicting schedules. |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | whiteshark: <FIDE World Team Championship: Turkey holds Russia to draw> Day two of the FIDE World Team Championships saw a lot of hard-fought games with the favorites not always getting their way. After a surprise draw against Ukraine, <Turkey> was able to hold Russia to a draw as well, and it was not for lack of effort on the Russians' part. <China> overcame India in a match that could have gone either way... Large illustrated report with many games analyzed by GM Alex Yermolinsky. http://en.chessbase.com/post/fide-w... |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | paavoh: <Top 10 players, as <fisayo123> pointed out, have conflicting schedules.> Would have been great to see Ivanchuk, who started his participation in this competition in 1989 for the Soviet Union. |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | PhilFeeley: <CG> should twin the above table with the team results. It's not as large. |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | PhilFeeley: <no Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, France, Hungary ... Where are they all?> They did not qualify for this event. > And Egypt did? |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | botvinnik64: What's going on here? No women's games being offered? Not even standings, let alone games? Strange and unacceptable! |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | nok: Maybe there aren't any women in the main event. |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | cro777: Ten teams qualified according to the following criteria: - The previous event's World Chess Team Champion. - The three highest-placed teams in the FIDE Olympiad prior to the event. - The four Continental Champions (European, Asian, Panamerican, African) - A team from the organizing federation.
- A team nominated by FIDE President (Belarus). |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | cro777: The FIDE Open (Men's) and Women’s are separate sections of the World Team Chess Championships 2017. The link to World Team Chess Championship (Women) at chessgames.com is incorrect: Chessgames Home Page |

- A team nominated by FIDE President (Belarus).> <And Egypt did?> Egypt's spot in the World Team Championship is pretty much guaranteed as African champions (the last African Team Championship took place in 2011, btw). As for the other teams, I guess USA qualified as American champions (from 2013), India as Asian champions, China as previous world champions (of 2015) & Russia as host. This leaves an empty spot for European champions, since it was also Russia, so apart from the wildcard Belarus (?!?) the four remaining spots were based on the rankings of last year's Olympiad: 1.USA (already qualified) <2.Ukraine> 3.Russia (already qualified - twice) 4.India (already qualified) <5.Norway 6.Turkey 7.Poland>. |
|
| Jun-19-17 | | Nf8: <a tournament about which many participating nations hardly care at all> As was already mentioned, some the teams are missing their top players due to conflicting schedules (mainly USA & Russia, also Norway without Carlsen). But what I find really funny in this context is that Egypt sent a B team; with teams like Belarus & Norway minus Carlsen & Hammer, they might be missing on a historical chance to contend for 9th place. |

| Jun-19-17 | | Pedro Fernandez: << botvinnik64>: Anyone, Poland brought their A Team as did China minus Ding; Russia, Ukraine and USA have strong teams, but so many other tourneys to play in...I think China should take this one.> A rational conclusion my dear <B64>, (please, let use this acronym referring to you if you let me). But China team is a young Team and I'm afraid Russia could impose their experience, I'm not sure though. Greetings my dear lady! |
