Tournament Review

GM Viktor Korchnoi Took Two Laps of Honour

A total of 111 players took part in the National Tournament, the strongest section of the Swiss Individual Championships. Apart from the creaking floor, the sports centre in Grächen offered very good playing conditions. In particular, the participants could not complain about a lack of space. The new rule also proved successful: a player arriving late at the board received a warning on the first occasion and lost the game on the second. Only a few warnings had to be issued, and no game was lost in this way.

After the first six rounds, nobody would have expected the battle for the tournament victory and the gold medal for the national title to become so exciting. Top seed GM Viktor Korchnoi (Wohlen, Aargau) was cruising alone at the top of the standings, stringing together one win after another. He made short work of FM Wolfgang Schmid (Germany) and the Italian Franco Misiano, who nevertheless finished ninth, beating FM Thomas Heinatz (Germany) and drawing with the considerably higher-rated IM Julien Carron (Bramois), among others. IM Markus Klauser (Belp) did not withstand the tournament favourite's combinational strength for much longer either.

The subsequent collapse was therefore all the more surprising. After beating IM Petar Benkovic (Serbia) in round six, Korchnoi lost in round seven to the eventual tournament winner, GM Simon Williams (England). In round eight, IM Roland Ekström (Basel) inflicted another defeat, giving Korchnoi no chance. By beating IM Branko Filipovic (Basel) in the final round, however, Korchnoi at least kept his chances of a play-off alive. Williams, meanwhile, secured first place in the tournament with a draw against Ekström.

IM Roland Ekström's draw with Mosab Ghattour (Geneva) made for a less than ideal start. He then launched a pursuit that culminated in his victory over Korchnoi in round eight. A win against Williams in the final round would have enabled Ekström both to retain his Swiss championship title and to win the tournament. He managed “only” a draw, however.

Then came a flurry of calculations to determine who would contest the necessary play-off. IM Andreas Huss (Lausanne), playing a solid tournament after his disappointing performance in the Mitropa Cup, defeated IM Hansjürg Kaenel (Ostermundigen, tenth place) in the final round and also reached seven points. However, he had the lowest tie-break score of the three play-off contenders and took the bronze medal.

Master Hitchcock took over the direction of the two play-off games. Roland Ekström won the first game with Black, leaving Viktor Korchnoi needing to win the last game to claim the championship title. The way the 78-year-old veteran accomplished this deserves the highest respect. He won a pawn, safely converted his advantage and, with the play-off tied at 1–1, celebrated his fourth Swiss championship title thanks to his superior Buchholz score.

Not all the favourites were equally satisfied with their performances. GM Florian Jenni (Zurich), for example, who had won the championships when Korchnoi last participated three years earlier, had surely hoped for more than twelfth place. Although he did not lose a game, he drew six times—too often to remain among the leaders. Nico Georgiadis (Schindellegi), tenth on the starting list, lost to Numa Bertola (Nyon) in the opening round. With 3½ points from his next five games, he temporarily worked his way back into the chasing group, but two further defeats ultimately left him in 59th place.
