Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2013
Hi everyone,
The two winners of the 13th European Individual Senior Chess Championship, GM Mark Tseitlin (ISR) and WGM Margarita Voiska finished with 7.5 and 7 points, respectively. Unlike the women’s tournament, where Voiska had secured her title one round before the final leg, the final ranking in the men’ section was not clear until the last moment, according to a chess news report via Chessdom.
GM Mark Tseitlin (ISR) drew quickly against GM Nikolai Pushkov (RUS). With a grandmaster technique in the endgame, GM Evgeny Sveshnikov (LAT) squeezed a win against Anatoli Shvedchikov and got the silver medal with 7.0 points. Six players shared 3rd to 8th at 6.5/9. However, the bronze was awarded to former European senior champion GM Nikolai Pushkov on the tiebreak criteria, followed by GM Evgeni Vasiukov (RUS), GM Petar Velikov (BUL), GM Bosko Abramovic (SRB) IM Mark Berkovich (ISR) and Victor Bojarinov (RUS) etc.
GM Petar Velikov arrived 5th and had the best ranking among Bulgarians in this section. In the last game of the round and on this tournament GM Ermenkov Evgeny drew against IM Vladimir Karasev (RUS) and finished 11th with 6 points. GM Ivan Radulov is 13th with the same score.
The Bulgarian hosts are jubilant. Eleven-time individual champion of Bulgaria for women, participant in 15 Olympic Games, and winner of countless tournaments, WGM Margarita Voiska (BUL) achieved another triumph – European senior champion for women. While Voiska was dominating throughout the whole tournament, there was a tense fight for the distribution of the rest top rankings.
