Fischer-slembiskákarmótinu í St. Louis lauk í gær. Fyrirkomulagið var óvenjulegt. Ekki bara fyrir þá sök að keppendur tefldu Fischer-slembiskák heldur fyrir það að tefld voru fimm 5 einvígi. Garry Kasparov var að sætta sig við tap gegn Veselin Topalov, 11,5-14,5. Þrettándi heimsmeistarinn virðist ekki hafa sömu snerpuna og hann hafði en það bætti þó skap hans að hann tvær síðustu skákirnar.
Úrslit einvígjanna urðu sem hér segir
Ýmislegt spaugilegt gerðist á mótinu. Eftirfarandi frásögn má finna á Chessbase.
All throughout the week, the participants analysed the given position with a colleague before the day’s rounds began, and Peter Svidler was very happy about being able to analyse with none other than his childhood hero — Garry Kasparov. Hence, it is particularly striking that Peter set up the wrong position when he sat down opposite Garry before the final day’s action. After 29 minutes of deep analysis, Giri showed up and gave the Russians the bad news — they did not have the right position on the board!
Kasparov: „We spent 29 minutes with Peter analysing a different position.
And then Giri showed up and said, „Wait a second, guys, are you sure it’s the right position?“ I don’t want to spread blame, but actually Peter looked at the position… 🙂#ChampionsShowdown— chess24.com (@chess24com) September 14, 2018
