[lang_nl]De Hongaar Zoltan Almasi is met 6 uit 9 eerste geworden van het 50e Torneo Capodanno in Reggio Emilia. Tweede werd Vugar Gashimov uit Azerbeidjan, die de schoonheidsprijs won voor zijn overwinning op Tiviakov. (Gelukkig wordt-ie in sommige toernooien nog uitgekeerd.)

Second was Vugar Gashimov of Azerbaijan, who won the brilliancy prize for his win against Tiviakov. (Good to see that some tournamenst still give brilliancy prizes.)

Uitleg door de spelers na afloop was ook in Reggio gebruikelijk. Hier Navara.

Even iedereen op de kiek: de spelers en de organisatoren

Wat doe je als Reggio-winnaar? Je geeft een simultaan aan dertig deelnemers, want dat was afgesproken...

...maar DIT hadden we niet afgesproken! (Na veel hilariteit maakten de vijf grootmeesters plaats voor vijf amateurs.)

Post-game explanation by the players was common in Reggio too. Here Navara.

Korchnoi and Tiviakov analysing

Everyone smile - the players and the organizers

What do you do as the Reggio winner? You give a thirty-board simul, as was agreed beforehand...

...but THIS we had not agreed! (After a big applause and lots of smiles, the five GMs gave their places to five amateurs.)

Finally a success for Alm?ɬ°si. He is such a good player, but he seemed to be a little bit short of luck. Now i'm happy to see him at first place in this strong tournament.

Great report, Peter! I will just add another touch of colour. Upon seeing the 5 GMs, Almasi wore his best and most surprised smile. Then he simply added with a grin: "OK now, all you other guys can go home and I will play with these five!". Champions are born... :-)
