Tiviakov & Lahno European Champions

3 May 2008 11:45 AM | Last modified: 22:03

Yesterday Sergey Tiviakov won the European Chess Championship in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Tiviakov was leading with 7 other players and in the last round he was the only player to win his game. Kateryna Lahno finished clear first in the women’s section.

Today the tiebreaks are played, to determine the silver and bronze medals as well as the tickets for the World Cup and the Women’s World Ch, but the champions are known already. While most of the leaders were satisfied with a quick draw, avoiding the tiebreaks and securing a trip to Khanty-Mansiysk, Sergey Tiviakov defeated Emil Sutovsky from Israel in typical solid style:

    Hulde!

    Could some one tell the person that is interviewing the chess players on the FIDE site to please get a jack splitter and an additional mic so that the person he is interviewing can speak when they want.

    This is so unbelievable to have professional people being interview and they can only speak or be heard unless the interviewer puts the mike in front of them. If he can’t afford the equipment email me and I will pay for it!
