Round 8 - 30 September 2006
The four leaders. Left to right: Akopian, Areshchenko, Bartel, Kobalia
John Saunders reports: Suddenly, at 5pm, we had a new leader
in the clubhouse. Alexander Areshchenko blew Kobalia away with the black
pieces, just after Bartel and Akopian agreed a draw. Areshchenko was one
of the joint winners last year but lost out on the trophy on sum of opponent
scores. As sole leader going into the last round, he has a good chance
of doing so again this year. There was an admirably fought game between
two other Ukrainians, Kuzubov and Efimenko, which was won by the 16-year-old.
Craig Hanley had a good win against Mark Ferguson, while Stewart Haslinger
beat Joanna Dworakowska after sacrificing a rook - look out for the lovely
27...Ne3! which wins the house. Peter Wells tried something exotic, reached
a lost position, then suddenly it was won - but then lost again with a
time pressure blunder. I'm pretty sure 33 Rxc7+! wins. Bobras was better
against Yakovich but fell for a fiendish tactic. Subbaraman Vijayalakshmi's
excellent run came to an end when she lost to Sergey Volkov. She still
has chance of a GM norm if she wins in the last round, and is tied first
for the women's prize with Elisabeth Paehtz. David Eggleston beat his
second IM of the tournament when he overcame Mohamad Al Sayed who, it
has to be said, is playing very poorly here. Some surprise results among
the last games to finish - Richard Palliser beat Kazhgaleyev, Steve Mannion
beat Ikonnikov, and Bjarke Sahl beat Keith Arkell.
