Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012
Hi everyone,
GM Nigel Short delivering a lecture in Edmonton.
British Grandmaster Nigel Short has just added another chess trophy to his 'private collection'. Nigel Short won the 7th Edmonton International by 3 points (3 points for a win) from Viktor Mikhalevski (who beat Short in the first round).
Players of the main event: IM Leon Piasetski, GM Anton Kovalyov, FM Vladimir Pechenkin, GM Nigel Short, IM Irina Krush, GM Victor Mikhalevski, NM Robert Gardner, IM Edward Porper
The seventh edition of the Edmonton International Chess Festival is one of only two annual competitions in Western Canada that offers international norms opportunities. The competition took in the Edmonton Chess Club and consisted of round robin with ten players. You can check out the official website for lots of photos and details.
Meanwhile, here is a nice game from the event with Irina Krush going for the big battle in an endgame against a gritty defence!
