Exactly as Adults

February 6, 2016
Exactly as Adults

Traditionally the Moscow Open RSSU Cup opens new talents, but can it be differently if the festival is so huge? Many of young chess players prefer to play in the Moscow Open tournaments for adults but not for children, achieving high results at that.

For instance, in 2014 the grandmaster from the capital Urii Eliseev, aged 16 at that time, won a strong round-robin tournament for grandmaster students. This year grandmaster Eliseev became older and is the undoubted leader of the main Moscow Open competition – the Men’s Cup of Russia stage. In the Round 6 Urii was playing with the white and won over the prodigy, star of the Russian chess 17-year-old Vladislav Artemiev.

However, even younger chess players are close on the heels of the recognized masters of chess. Thus a significant number of talented chess players under 17 are playing in the Men’s Cup of Russia stage.

Russian Semen Elistratov, Alexey Sarana, Olexandr Triapishko (all born in 2000), Arseniy Nesterov (born in 2003), Ukrainian Kirill Shevchenko (born in 2002) scored 4 of possible 6 points, exactly as many famous grandmasters. The last, by the way, won the blitz tournament for children, organized within the frames of the RSSU Cup. 

The guests from Uzbekistan are also dangerous. FIDE master Shamsiddin Vokhidov (born in 2002) beat Alexandr Predke, Nikita Matinian and Vladimir Zakhartsov, and Nodirbek Abdusattorov, born in 2004, became the sensation of the Mikhail Chigorin Memorial in St. Petersburg. 

There is no way to leave without attention Muscovites Saveliy Golubov, Semen Lomasov, Vitaly Gurvich and very young Ilya Makoveev from Gelendzhik, who even hasn’t turned 10 yet. With a little bit fewer points scored, they show much promise.

The best result among the representatives of fair sex, playing in the men’s tournament, belongs to the young chess player from Azerbaijan Gunay Mammadzada, born in 2000.

14-year old Alexandra Obolentseva from Moscow has been showing a 100% result for a long time in the Women’s Cup of Russia stage. Her winning streak was interrupted by the ranking favorite Anastasia Bodnaruk in the Round 6. Now Sasha is sharing the third place.

4,5 points were scored by the multiple winner and medalist of the Russian, European and World Championships Elzaveta Solozhenkina and Ukrainian chess player Olena Martynkova. We should mark that Solozhenkina as well as Makoveev have received personal grants from the Liga Stavok bookmaker company.  

Liza’s constant rivals Ekaterina Goltseva with 4 points and Aleksandra Maltsevskaya with 3,5 points show a little bit worse result.

For sure, the Moscow Open will become a very important step in the sports life of these kids. Let’s wish them best of luck!
