The Eighth International chess tournament among jouniors - "Young stars of the world - 2010".
Vanja Somov's memorial.

Town of Kirishi, Russia 08.05 - 20.05.10

Nearing completion VIII-th International Youth Tournament "Young Stars of the World" Vanya Somov's memory with a norm of international grandmaster. Opponents left to four meetings. As expected, the juniors are playing in combat. It has already been played a lot of interesting games. Elo-favorite Jaroslav Zherebukh strong lead with six points. In a number of parties it good luck, but luck, as you know, stronger. The membership has changed in half. Other words, six juniors playing firstly. Only the youngest of them, Gregory Oparin from Moscow can not find his game. He obviously need to gain experience and exposure like the other graduates of the "factory of stars". I believe that most of the participants' Junior Linares arrived in Kirishi with ambitious intentions. The children each year become stronger and more capable of surprises on the board any opponent. In pursuit of the leader of the second-third line with four and a half points divide the grandmaster of Samvel Ter-Sahakyan and international master tavern Seturaman (India). Indian masters accompanies his coach GM Alexander Goloshapov from Ukraine. Armenian grandmaster started discouraging 1,5 of 4, but three ordinary victories significantly improve his standings. Among the fallen was a favorite competition, his colleague in command, A. Shimanov. Recently, Alexander has shown uneven results. Hopefully, the young player at the finish is quite able to show exceptional strength of will, which he has repeatedly demonstrated. With four points, do not lose the chance to get to the prize three missed only one of the memorial Grandmaster Daniel Linchevsky from Gatchina, Muscovite Vladimir Belous Vitaly and FIDE Master Bernadskii from Ukraine. By the way, Vladimir, Russian champion and 18 this year, the last two games lost, and before that was one of the leaders. Enumerate awards and titles of all the young stars in the best sense of the word would take the lion's share "of seats. Note that Russian woman grandmaster female A. Kashlinskaya worthy acts in a strong tournament. Alina, as Gregory Oparin, is their coach, GM Sergey Dolmatov. The tournament is held in strict compliance with the regulations. A panel of judges, demonstrators, journalists covering the tournament, working cohesively as a team. All depends on the finish. Today, the weekend juniors rest, gain strength, visiting one of the most beautiful suburbs of Saint Petersburg city fountains, Peterhof. As noted above, there is no through-parties, the guys fight to the end of each meeting. Very interesting endgame arose in the party I.Bukavshin - V.Belous, which was played in the fifth round.
