SIB CMS 52nd National Premier & Zone 3.7 Chess Championship, Kottayam
The 52nd edition of National Premier Chess Championship, sponsored by South Indian
Bank and co- sponsored by CMS College, Kottayam was held at the picturesque CMS College campus from 4th to 18th December 2014. Thirteen players eight grandmasters and
five international masters participated in the round robin format championship, comprising
thirteen rounds. Former under 14 world champion Vidit Santosh Gujrathi of PSPB was the
highest rated player in the tournament, with a rating 0f 2625 and it had one more super
grandmaster in SP Sethuraman, also of PSPB. Average rating of the tournament was 2487,
a category 10 event. As in Olympiad and World Cup, the duration of play was 90 minutes
each for the first 40 moves and 30 minutes each for the remaining game, with an increment
of 30 seconds per move. The championship also gained importance, as the winner of the
tournament will qualify for the World Cup, to be held in 2015.
Fierce fighting was witnessed from the very beginning. Both top two players Vidit and
Sethuraman were held to a draw in the first round by former Commonwealth champion MR
Lalith Babu of PSPB and IM P. Shyam Nikil of Tamil Nadu respectively. In the second round
too, Vidit had to concede a draw to his team mate and former national champion Abhijit
Kunte. GM Deep Sengupta of PSPB, Lalith and Sethu scored two successive wins each in
third and fourth rounds to lead the table with 3 points, at the end of the fourth round.
All the six games were drawn in the fifth round, the lead still remaining in the hands of the
three grandmasters, Sethu, Lalith and Deep. In the sixth round, Deep outwitted Swayams
Mishra, the international master form Orissa, to wrest sole lead. This was possible because
of the shocking defeat of Lalith at the hands of Delhi GM Sahaj Grover and Sethuraman had
a rest day. Sethuraman dealt a blow to Deep in the seventh round and Lalith overcame RR
Laxman, grandmaster from Railways, enabling the trio to share the lead again together,
with 4.5 points each. Deepan Chakkravarthy of Railways and Sahaj were breathing at their
shoulders, with 4 points each.
Eighth round witnessed the emergence of a sole leader in Sethuraman, who defeated IM PDS
Girinath of Railways to reach 5.5 points, one point ahead of five other players. Lalith Babu
suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Swayams Mishra in this round. IM Karthikeyan P
of Railways also rose up to second spot with a win over Tamil Nadu IM VAV Rajesh. Sethuraman maintained a half point lead over three others with 6 points, after securing a draw
against Lalith Babu.
Sethuraman defeated Abhijit Kunte and Sahaj closely followed him with a win over Deepan in the tenth round. Sethu remained alone at the top with 7.5 points, at the end of the
eleventh round, after being held by Vidit in the crucial and much anticipated tie. Sengupta
and Sahaj remained in contention for the title with 7 points. Deepan Chakkravarthy had an
ignominious hat trick of losses, this time against RR Laxman.
In the penultimate round, P. Karthikeyan dashed the hopes of Sahaj by beating him, which
also fetched him his third GM norm. Both Deep and Sethu drew the games against their respective opponents. Sethu needed half a point in the final round to clinch the championship.
AICF CHRONICLE
JANUARY 2015
Sethuraman ensured the title by securing a formal draw with Deepan Chakkravarthy, which
also enriched his bank account by 2.5 lakh rupees. Both Karthikeyan and Deep Sengupta
1st Sameen Singh FIDE Rated Chess Tournament-2014 for below 2000,Amritsar
scored 8 points and had equal number of wins. Sonneborn Berger tiebreak favoured Deep
Sengupta to finish second and Karthikeyan secured the third spot. Vidit suffered a shocking
loss at the hands of veteran IM PDS Girinath in the final round. Sethuraman received two
lakhs and fifty thousand rupees for his efforts, out of total prize money of Rs. ten lakhs.
After six hard fought rounds, the players enjoyed a refreshing trip to Kumarakom, a popular
boating resort. The very big lake of back waters, extending by 83 KMs by length and 14
KMs by width was worth visiting, which also had a bird sanctuary. Players relished every
second of the three hours boating.
Rt. Rev. Thomas K Ommen, Deputy moderator, Church of South India presided the inaugural
function and Honourable Minister for Sports, Government of Kerala, Sri. T Radhakrishnan
inaugurated the championship in the august presence of Dr. Alexander Jacob, Director General of Police, Kerala, Sri. TC Mathew, Chairman, National Cricket Academy and Mr. Shelly

India retained the World Youth Chess Olympiad title by racing ahead
of Iran and Russia at the end of the tenth round at Gyor in Hungary
on December 21, 2014. Significantly, India is winning this title for
the fourth time.In the final round, India faced an unexpected setback
on board one when Diptayan Ghosh lost his only game of the event
but the trio on the others boards won to help India defeat Turkey
3-1. India won nine matches and lost one to
IM. Karthikeyan Murali
Kumaran 4.5/9; G.K. Monnisha 0.5/3. Aravindh was Indias best player
gaining 19.4 Elo while Karthikeyan Murali made 10.1 Elo and also became
a Grand Master mid-way through this event.
IM. Diptayan Ghosh
Experienced coach, Grand Master R.B. Ramesh was the coach of the
Indian team. He runs his own chess academy, Chess Gurukul in Chennai. He trains most of
these young players personally as well.
Indias advancement can be seen in the context that our main Olympiad
team played from 1956 to 2014 and won a bronze medal this year in
2014. Our Youth are faring better and have won
the titles in 2007, 2008, 2013 and now 2014.
Our youngsters are building strongly from what
our senior players have achieved.
Final placings (match points): 1 India (gold)

Vishy Anand won the 6th London Chess Classic on tie-break from Vladimir Kramnik and Anish

them were garlanded and offers flowers and sweets. That is Chennai's own way of welcoming

champions. This tradition started in 1987 and is happening more and more often these years.

this year.
B Kumaran, G.K. Monnisha were the other two players who arrived. Among those who received
the team were V. Hariharan (AICF Secretary) and his wife Malarvizhi Hariharan, Sakthi Prabhakar,
The 3-1-0 scoring system ensured that the outcome was in doubt right down to the final result.
Things looked a little ominous at the start as two Berlin Defences appeared on the board. But
Indian team won this event for the fourth time. India had won it in 2007, 2008, 2013 and
now 2014. With many talented junior stars in our line up more such titles are on the way in
the years ahead. India was fortunate to have two stars from the successful team of 2013
which is Diptayan Ghosh and Karthikeyan Murali. Both are world beaters in that age category.
The World Youth Chess Olympiad is for players under 16.
Coach R.B. Ramesh had been part of the Indian youth success in the past. Once he said players
perhaps weve been a bit too quick to condemn the modern super-GMs all-purpose antidote
to 1.e4 as it produced the one decisive result of the round, and indeed decide the destination
of the trophy.
Incidentally, there was one interesting exchange in the commentary room after the AdamsAnand game. Nigel Short told Vishy that There were some inner groans when the Berlin was
played." Vishy shot back by now it can just be called the London! Do you know, hes got a
very good point: given that 3...Nf6 against the Ruy Lopez played a vitally important role in

for renaming it the London defence to the Ruy Lopez/Spanish. Or, if you like, the Tower of
London rather than the Berlin Wall. For me the clincher is that Vishy says so: if the Tsar of
Russia had the right to name the first grandmasters, then a world champion should have the
privilege of naming opening variations anyway he chooses.The Adams-Anand game was the
first to finish. Having given our heartiest congratulations to Vishy, we must also pass on our
heartfelt commiserations to Mickey Adams, whose tournament started so well but ended so
disappointingly, with losses in the last two rounds. His fourth round loss was grim but he had
reasonable chances in the fifth game. If things had turned out differently, he might easily have
been the man receiving the plaudits instead Press Release 12: 15 December 2014, John Saunders
of Vishy as a win for him in this final game would have won him the tournament on tie-break.

I cant count the times I have lagged seemingly hopelessly far behind, and nobody
except myself thinks I can win. But I have
pulled myself in from desperate [situations].
When you are behind there are two strategies
counter-attack or all men to the defences.
Im good at finding the right balance between
those.
