The high number of decisive games delights the spectators so far, except the members of the Swedish Facebook group “A draw is good for both players” (loose translation).
It was a
good round for the colonna destra
players. They both defeated grandmasters, Smith
beat Hector and Lindberg beat Hillarp
Persson. Again Tiger tried a funky opening.
1.e4, c5
2. Nf3, a6
3. c3, d6
4. d4, Qc7
Lindberg played natural moves and his position grew
better with each and every one of them.
After only 29 moves the game was over.
Smith and
Hector went for an Exchange Slav where White took a pawn on b7 at an early
stage and then put the queen back from b7 to d1 straight away.
Exactly Hector’s kind of play but against Smith’s prepared computer moves he
didn’t drum up an especially dangerous attack this time. After 20 moves his
position was pretty bad and then he also lost a pawn, then an exchange, then
another rook…
Attention
quickly has to be turned to the sole leader of the tournament. Grandelius had the White pieces against
Wiedenkeller, who also had a
positive start.
Yesterday Grandelius
went for slow opening play against Smith,
but today he had other thoughts…
A brilliant
game from Marley Grandelius who now
has the lead by a full point.
In second
place we now find Hans Tikkanen who had a nice attacking
position today against Pia Cramling.
Somehow Black managed to defend her king and Tikkanen must be really disappointed with only sharing the point.
Brynell remains the most solid player in the
tournament. Today he did his best to kill all play against Pontus Carlsson and managed successfully to steer the game into an
early dead drawn position. The above mentioned Facebook group has found its
hero!
Tomorrow we
look forward to Tiger Hillarp Persson
vs. Marley Grandelius.
Can Tiger fight
back after two consecutive defeats?
Can Stellan
Brynell produce a fifth consecutive draw as Black against the out of form Jonny Hector?
