Sinquefield 2017, biggest prized tornament, highest ELO
1st MVL !
FRANCE / EU
FRANCE is BACK ! bye So, Naka, Caruana, beware Magnus!!
MVL ELO : 2nd !!! next challenger for the WCC 2018+.
funny : not tooo many files on that Sinquefield, i wonder why.
MVL 2nd player in the world ELO FIDE > = 2804!
he started with low opponents 2400 2600 2565 ... then Grischuk 2788 ! a very nice increase to get warmer till ...the final (SO 2792).
tomorrow the 2nd game, he'll get white against ARONIAN!! (1/2 1/2 today easy for MVL blacks, Grûnfeld and not Sicilian Najdorf he is the master of, he will use thsi defense in the final i guess)
Aronian 2803 is a very serious "customer" , which can pretend to be the 1st too.
Like SO., with the outsider ding Liren 2740, who is each year better in the, sooner or later, 1st country for chess: China, (WC teams 2015 1st ; who was the first chess board ? Mr Ding Liren) so many good players there, and ...charming too HOU YIFAN? best woman in chess playing ony with men to show how strong she is, no one beside her among the women since Judith Polgar's retired ! a come back
?
Other table : So Ding liren 1/2 1/2 after a fantastic game, chances for SO (note SF 1.xx )........only for SFish alas, it was relly difficult to fine line in a typical "Carlsen final"
** even if u get a +3, from SF, it doesn't mean that u find the good line to win ! ask Giri! .
We'd like a final MVL vs SO, but DING LIREN is those days really tought (yesterday he made a fantastic game with white vs SO, and was really close to the win).
All four deserve that title!
