The Jack Rabbit Chess Report (February 10): Timofeev, Anna Muzychuk win Moscow Open |
Timofeev, Anna Muzychuk win Moscow Open
Timofeev defeats Inarkiev to take first prize in Group A Artyom Timofeev defeated fellow Russian grandmaster Ernesto Inarkiev in a 117-move marathon to take first prize in the Moscow Open earlier today. Timofeev finished alone in first place with 7½ points out of nine rounds. Inarkiev, with 7 points, finishes in a tie for second with Russian GMs Alexander Lastin, Alexander Riazantsev, Sergei Volkov and Igor Kurnosov, Georgia's Baadur Jobava, Ukrainian GMs Zahar Efimenko and Alexander Moiseenko, and Murtas Kazhgaleyev of Kazakhstan. Inarkiev entered the ninth and final round leading with 7 points out of eight and needed only to avoid loss to claim first place clear. Inarkiev was stunned in the first round by losing to Russian FM Andrey Okara, a player rated nearly 280 Elo points beneath Inarkiev. Inarkiev then won his next seven games, most of it against stronger competition, before falling to Timofeev today. Anna Muzychuk wins Ladies' Competition Anna Muzychuk, a native of Ukraine who plays under the Slovenian flag, won the Ladies' Competition at the Moscow Open that was completed today with 8 points in nine rounds. Ms. Muzychuk, who turns 18 on February 28, was assured of first prize on tie-break points even before today's play started. She drew her last round game with India's Dronavalli Harika, who finishes with 7 points in a tie for third place with two Ukrainians, GM Katya Lahno and WGM Natalia Zhukova. Anna Ushenina of Ukraine, who won her game today against Irina Krush, the reigning American women's champion, finishes in a clear second place with 7½ points. Ms. Muzychuk has a younger sister, Mariya, who is a leading international star among girls 16 and under. |
