Re: World Senior Championships, November 2016
"Fingers crossed for Keith - I think he can win from that position."
Mm - dunno, the extra time will be helpful certainly but I don't see a winning R and 3 v R and 2 and, if not, it's going to be very long term. I am slightly worried about commenting on Keith's endgames for obvious reasons 'cos he might come on here and point out something simple but there we are.

Re: World Senior Championships, November 2016
The most plausible explanation for that would be that some irregularity occurred. Perhaps Danielsen adjusted the pawn on g6 without saying "j'adoube" first and was forced to move it.John Moore wrote:That game, with Vlassov White started 1 e4 g6 2 Nc3 Bg7 3 h4 c5 4 h5 Nc6 and finished when Henrik failed to find the obvious 10 ... Bh5 (this is a joke by the way!) and after 10 ..g5 11 Qg5 was so disgusted with his position, that he resigned.

Re: World Senior Championships, November 2016
Keith`s game looks like a draw (move 39 ) although Keith wins many Rook and Pawn endings which look drawn.

Yes indeed, drawn for normal players, but Keith isn't normalBarry Sandercock wrote:Keith`s game looks like a draw (move 39 ) although Keith wins many Rook and Pawn endings which look drawn.

Re: World Senior Championships, November 2016
Unfortunately Tony Stebbings lost to ex-senior champion GM Vaisser after almost 90 moves and over five hours, making a blunder trying to valiantly defend B+3 v N+4.
However he has still had a great first week and his 4.5/6 is easily the best British performance of week one in the 65+.
In the 50+ Keith Arkell is on 5/6 (two draws) and Terry Chapman has 4.5, both very well placed.
Day off tomorrow fortunately.

Re: World Senior Championships, November 2016
50+, the 2 leaders meet, Keith is half a point behind with 2 others, who play each other round 7 pairings
Terry Chapman plays his third GM; Peter Gayson still doing well too
65+ round 7 pairings
Rest day in the main event, but blitz and rapid events
Good luck to all our players

Re: World Senior Championships, November 2016
Arkell 6/7, Vlassov and Reprintsev 5.5/6 and playing each other in a drawn position, will likely share the lwad in the 50+ world championship with four rounds left. Terry Chapman on 4.5/6 stands level with the No3 seed from Ecuador, Matamoros, though plenty of play remains in that game.

I used to think it was juniors that were underrated

Re: World Senior Championships, November 2016
I don't think Keith can get more than a draw from this game (move 44)
