Report from Wijk aan Zee by Steve Giddins

Today saw the start of the Honorary Group, a new event for Wijk aan Zee. This brings together four legendary former winners of the tournament: Victor Korchnoi, Jan Timman, Ljubomir Ljubojevic and Lajos Portisch. Between them they have won the tournament no less than eleven times (four each for Korchnoi and Portisch, two for Timman and one for Ljubojevic), and this year, they will contest a double-round, all play all tournament. It makes a nice contrast with the youthful feel of the A, B and C Groups, and shows once again that Wijk aan Zee is a true chess festival, which has something for everyone.

Group A

Levon Aronian scored a convincing win over Teimur Radjabov, while Vishy Anand was shocked to discover that he had the same position on the board against Judit Polgar as exactly ten years earlier in the same hall. That time he lost, this time it was Judit who, pressing too hard for a win, suffered a traumatic loss. Loek van Wely was lucky to escape the pressure of Pavel Eljanov, then after fighting back was unlucky not to win the game. Adams-Mamedyarov was a fought-out draw. The other games were also drawn.

Group A standings

Full analysis of the key games will follow tomorrow...

Group B

Tournament leader Bacrot drew as Black against a relatively unambitious opening from L'Ami, but his rival Smeets went down to 13-year-old Hou Yifan.

Group B standings

Group C

At the first rest day, after four rounds, the C Group looked a two-horse race, as Braun and Caruana had seven and a half out of eight between them. In three rounds since then, they have both been pegged back. Today, Braun's start came to a shuddering halt, as he was hammered by Grivas. Caruana took advantage, by beating Carlsson.
