Linex-Magic and Monte Carlo win the European Club Cup
10 October 2007 8:46 AM | Last modified: 8:23
With a convincing 4-2 win over Economist SGSEU-1 Saratov, Linex-Magic has won the European Club Cup yesterday. In the final match Kamsky, Rublevsky and Cheparinov scored important victories against Alekseev, Tiviakov and Roiz repectively. The team from Mérida (Spain) won the tournament with 13 points out of 7 matches. Second finished Ural Sverdlovskaya and shared third were Tomsk-400 and OSC Baden-Baden. In the women’s section, Cercle d’Echecs de Monte-Carlo only needed to score one game point to grab the cup and that was exactly what they did: a surprising last-round loss (1-3) against AVS Krasnoturinsk was just enough. Update: game selection 7th round added!
Personal top scores
The winning team consisted of Gata Kamsky (3/7), Michael Adams (4½), Sergey Rublevsky (5½), Gabriel Sargissian (4½), Ivan Cheparinov (6) and Manuel Perez Candelario (5). On board one, Krishnan Sasikiran had the best tournament of all with a 85,7% score (6/7, a performance rating of 2806). Alexei Shirov scored the highest performance rating (2875). Shakhryiar Mamedyarov, Pavel Eljanov, Peter Svidler and Sergei Rublevsky also scored performances above 2800. Humpy Koneru, who passed the 2600 mark on the October FIDE rating list, continues her fantastic year with an amazing 6,5 out of 7 and a 2800 performance in the women’s section. Something I think hasn’t been done before by anyone else than the world’s no. 1, Judit Polgar.

Een reactie nav de opmerking over de tpr van Koneru en dat alleen Judith Polgar zoiets ooit presteerde: Zsófia Polgár behaalde eens een tpr van 2928 (Rome 1989, 8½ uit 9)

Oké! Ik voegde er al voor de zekerheid ‘volgens mij’ aan toe in dat zinnetje.
“with an amazing 6,5 out of 7 and a 2800 performance in the women’s section”
A mistake there Koneru only played 6 games.
With other words, she got a result of 5,5 out of 7 and a 2800 performance in the women’s section.
Woops, that must be 5,5 out of 6 instead of 7. Darn you for not putting in an edit button.
Aha yes of course. It’s getting less and less special. Oh well, let’s see what she’s up to next tournament.
