Aleksandar Indjic is now a full point ahead in the European Individual Chess Championship 2024

16 Nov, 2024by gprevenasΣκακιστικά νέα

GM Aleksandar Indjic (SRB, 2623) took the sole lead in round 6 of the European Individual Chess Championship and today in round 7 expanded it after defeating the top seeded GM Vladimir Fedoseev (SLO, 2712). Replay the game here

Playing with black pieces, Aleksandar Indjic reached an equal position straight after the opening. He improved it to gain a slight advantage and started repeating the moves. However, Fedoseev refused a three-fold repetition, and entered a worse position which Indjic used to create a beautiful mating motive on Fedoseev’s weakened kingside.

Round 7 games: David Gavrilescu – Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus / Maksim Chigaev – Yahli Sokolovsky / Aram Hakobyan – Jan Malek / Rasmus Svane – Misratdin Iskandarov / Evgeny Romanov – Jaime Santos Latasa / Daniil Yuffa – Valentin Dragnev / Gabriel Sargissian – Ihor Samunenkov / Rauf Mamedov – Stamatis Kourkoulos-Arditis / Max Warmerdam – Szymon Gumularz / Bogdan-Daniel Deac – Viktor Gazik / Daniel Dardha – Shant Sargsyan / Alexander Motylev – Alexander Donchenko Ivan Cheparinov – Manuel Petrosyan / Robert Hovhannisyan – Frederik Svane / Vladimir Fedoseev – Aleksandar Indjic

Taking a win today, Indjic secured a full point lead in the tournament ahead of 13 players who tie for second place scoring 5.5 points each: GM Frederik Svane (GER, 2654), GM Bogdan-Daniel Deac (ROU, 2687), GM Maksim Chigaev (ESP, 2605), GM Robert Hovhannisyan (ARM, 2613), GM Ivan Cheparinov (BUL, 2632), GM Daniel Dardha (BEL, 2606), GM Ihor Samunenkov (UKR, 2523), GM Rauf Mamedov (AZE, 2651), GM Alexander Donchenko (GER, 2617), GM Manuel Petrosyan (ARM, 2612), GM Aram Hakobyan (ARM, 2623), GM Alexander Motylev (ROU, 2577) and GM Daniele Vocaturo (ITA, 2597).

20-year-old WIM Sofia Pogorelskikh (SRB, 2252) is currently the best-ranked female player in the event with the impressive score of 5/7 points. Sofia Pogorelskikh today heroically drew against the 2023 World Junior Chess Champion GM Marc’Andria Maurizzi (FRA, 2585) to secure herself WGM and IM norms with two rounds to spare. Earning 63 rating points and performing with rating 2607, Sofia keeps her chances for a GM norm in the next rounds.

Many young chess players used the opportunity to show their talent at the European Individual Chess Championship 2024. One of them is 13-year-old FM Atilla Kuru (TUR, 2371) who today drew with black pieces against GM Jobava Baadur (GEO, 2587). Atilla Kuru scores 5/7 points and performs in the event with incredible 2750 rating, earning 68.4 ELO points.

After today’s game, Atilla Kuru joined the ECU TV studio to analyze his game with our host GM Alojzije Jankovic.
