Parnu (1971) The tournament was played in Parnu, a coastal resort town in Estonia. Thirty-two per cent of the games were drawn. Of the grandmasters, Bronstein seemed to have the least interest in winning against the tail-enders, as he proposed several short draws. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Stein X 1 ½ ½ ½ ½ 1 1 1 ½ 1 1 ½ 1 10.0 Keres 0 X ½ ½ 1 1 ½ 1 ½ ½ 1 1 1 1 9.5 Tal ½ ½ X ½ 0 ½ 1 ½ 1 1 1 1 1 1 9.5 Bronstein ½ ½ ½ X ½ ½ ½ ½ 1 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 8.5 Karner ½ 0 1 ½ X 1 ½ ½ 1 ½ ½ ½ ½ 1 8.0 Etruk ½ 0 ½ ½ 0 X ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 7.5 Nei 0 ½ 0 ½ ½ ½ X 0 1 ½ 1 ½ ½ 1 6.5 Lutikov 0 0 ½ ½ ½ 0 1 X ½ ½ 1 0 1 ½ 6.0 Tarve 0 ½ 0 0 0 ½ 0 ½ X 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 5.5 Pohla ½ ½ 0 0 ½ 0 ½ ½ 0 X ½ 1 ½ ½ 5.0 Kivioja 0 0 0 ½ ½ ½ 0 0 ½ ½ X ½ ½ 1 4.5 Oim 0 0 0 0 ½ 0 ½ 1 0 0 ½ X 1 ½ 4.0 Vooremaa ½ 0 0 ½ ½ ½ ½ 0 ½ ½ ½ 0 X 0 4.0 Vark 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ½ 0 ½ 0 ½ 1 X 2.5  page 1 of 2; games 1-25 of 44  Game   Result Moves Year Event/Locale Opening 1. Lutikov vs Bronstein   ½-½ 24 1971 Parnu B20 Sicilian 2. A Vooremaa vs U Tarve   ½-½ 39 1971 Parnu D34 Queen's Gambit Declined, Tarrasch 3. H Karner vs H Pohla ½-½ 39 1971 Parnu B51 Sicilian, Canal-Sokolsky (Rossolimo) Attack 4. A Vooremaa vs Stein   ½-½ 55 1971 Parnu B04 Alekhine's Defense, Modern 5. T Oim vs H Karner   ½-½ 47 1971 Parnu E15 Queen's Indian 6. Keres vs I Nei   ½-½ 27 1971 Parnu C53 Giuoco Piano 7. Tal vs Lutikov ½-½ 24 1971 Parnu E12 Queen's Indian 8. Bronstein vs Tal ½-½ 39 1971 Parnu B83 Sicilian 9. H Karner vs A Vooremaa   ½-½ 37 1971 Parnu D35 Queen's Gambit Declined 10. I Nei vs H Pohla   ½-½ 28 1971 Parnu B50 Sicilian 11. H Pohla vs K Vark   ½-½ 51 1971 Parnu C02 French, Advance 12. Stein vs H Karner   ½-½ 22 1971 Parnu E09 Catalan, Closed 13. T Oim vs I Nei   ½-½ 15 1971 Parnu B40 Sicilian 14. A Vooremaa vs R Etruk   ½-½ 15 1971 Parnu A41 Queen's Pawn Game (with ...d6) 15. E Kivioja vs Bronstein   ½-½ 24 1971 Parnu B95 Sicilian, Najdorf, 6...e6 16. R Etruk vs Stein   ½-½ 23 1971 Parnu A26 English 17. Lutikov vs H Pohla ½-½ 45 1971 Parnu B20 Sicilian 18. I Nei vs A Vooremaa   ½-½ 43 1971 Parnu B81 Sicilian, Scheveningen, Keres Attack 19. Bronstein vs Keres ½-½ 31 1971 Parnu C23 Bishop's Opening 20. K Vark vs T Oim   ½-½ 47 1971 Parnu D83 Grunfeld, Grunfeld Gambit 21. U Tarve vs E Kivioja ½-½ 73 1971 Parnu A07 King's Indian Attack 22. Keres vs Tal ½-½ 57 1971 Parnu A10 English 23. I Nei vs H Karner   ½-½ 20 1971 Parnu E17 Queen's Indian 24. R Etruk vs U Tarve   ½-½ 15 1971 Parnu A22 English 25. R Etruk vs I Nei   ½-½ 15 1971 Parnu A06 Reti Opening  page 1 of 2; games 1-25 of 44    REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)     There is no kibitzing for this page, yet.   NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
