Candidate Matches

The playoff games in the first round of the 2011 Candidate Challenges gave us some surprises, some quite extraordinary. After a hard-fought games in the regular games of the matches, which ended matched, it was necessary to continue the playoff stage games at a rapid pace. Aronian was regarded as the favorite, given its excellent performance in rapid chess tournaments elite and, for example, his victory in the Amber tournament in Monaco. Still, it was Grischuk who managed to succeed first with an impressive victory in the first game. Aronian tied in the next game and tied for third. The fourth game was a Queen's Gambit and rejected. The game was well matched, when Aronian suddenly let out a coup (18.b5!), And suddenly came to be worse. Grischuk played outstandingly at this time and won a queen for a rook and a cabballo. Despite his material advantage, it was unclear if he would win and the great masters of top world were following the games on Playchess.com, it seemed likely that the game would end in a draw. Grischuk felt otherwise and pressed him to open up step up the enemy king with a decisive attack. He succeeded and won the duel.

Round 1 playoffs

Chronicle by Albert Silver

Levon Aronian, Boris Kutin press officer, and Alexander Grischuk in the press conference

While he was contesting the final game, Kramnik and Radjabov had reached the playoffs in the blitz. The reason for this was that they had begun their rapid games before a game Aronian and Grischuk. In other words, Aronian and Grischuk started his first game while Kramnik and Radjabov played the second. Unfortunately, as in the games at a slow pace, also ended the phase of fast games with the scores level with a few tables. The blitz games, however, would be another story.

The structure of blitz games was a mini duel two items, reflecting a period of 5 minutes per player, plus three seconds increment per move. Each game is potentially decisive and up to five items should be sufficient to determine the winner.

In the first game, Kramnik stood in the flames of the fire and gave a movement before being killed. This had meant that Kramnik were in a situation where you had to win force to avoid being eliminated. Things looked like they were not in their favor because the position of lead paint was a draw. The pieces were eliminated, no sign of any weakness, and finally was on the board vs. a final tower. opposite colored bishops and all considered the item as completed. But Kramnik played to the end and when both players were only 15 seconds left on the clock (by the increment of 5 seconds per move), this is what happened:

We are on the move 60 . Kramnik plays 60.Td7 + and press the clock.

Radjabov responds almost instantly to 60 ... Kf6, after which ...

... suddenly breaks down the clock, reset to zero (as if it were the beginning of a new game)!

Both players were petrified. The referee ran over to give instructions.

players discussing the situation while the referee Alex McFarlane told to calm down

The clock has to be reiniiado with the remainder of both players took about 13 minutes before they could resume the game. During that time the players walked across the stage to look forward to continue (one might think that they used to reconsider the position.) When the game went on, quickly collapsed Radjabov committing a series of mistakes and lost. Therefore, it was necessary to play another mini chess match by quickly, and this time Kramnik won the first and second, Radjabov dropped the flag when he was caught in a perpetual which the match would have ended anyway.
