The JR Chess Report: Ukrainian Men, Russian Women Bring Home Olympic Gold |
Ukraine Wins 39th Chess Olympics General Group; Russian Women Perfect
The Ukrainian men, led by 41-year-old Vassily Ivanchuk, won the gold medal in the general group of the 39th Chess Olympiad which concluded earlier today in the Siberian oil town of Khanty-Mansiysk. Ivanchuk took home a gold medal for his outstanding performance on board one. The silver medal in the general group was won by Russia 1 (there were five Russian teams in the general group and two more in the women's group), which was led by Alexander Grischuk on board one and powered by Sergey Karjakin, playing in his fist olympics as a Russian. Sergey Alexandrovich took home a gold medal for his performance on board four. When a team has a player as strong as Sergey Karjakin on the last board, it's certain to win some matches. Isreal, led by Boris Gelfand on board one, took home the bronze medal after narrowly beating out Hungary. In the women's group, Russia 1 with the Kosinseva sisters and reigning women's world champion Alexandra Kosteniuk scored a perfect 11 match victory in 11 rounds, far ahead of silver medalist China. led by sixteen-year-old Hou Yifan. Georgia took home the bronze medal. Individual gold medals in the women's group included Tatiana Kosintseva on board and Nadezhda Kosintseva on board two. The only bad news out of the festivities was the re-election of Kirsan Illyumzhinov, the George W. Bush of Chess, as President of FIDE, the world governing body of the game. FIDE and most of the world's leading grandmasters will be forced to suffer four more years of corruption and incompetence from a man who is proud of being an "Asian autocrat" (Kirsan was until recently also president of the Russian Autonomous Republic of Kalmykia) who has expressed admiration for the governing style of America's former usurper president. In typical Bush style, Kirsan stole the vote of the Russian federation from his rival, former world champion Anatoly Karpov. |
