Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hello everyone,
Congratulations to GM Viktorija Cmilyte of Lithuania for a solid performance in Tbilisi, Georgia to win the European Women's Chess Championship. She notched up 9 points in 11 rounds. Congratulations to former Women's World Chess Champion GM Antoaneta Stefanova of Bulgaria for taking the silver medal with 8.5/11 and to GM Elina Danielian of Armenia for taking the bronze on tie-break. Congratulations to all the women who took part in this tough tournament and giving the world some beautiful chess this month.
The 12th European Individual Women’s Championships took place May 6-18, 2011 in Tbilisi. It was organized by the Georgian Chess Federation, under the auspices of the Tbilisi City Hall and the European Chess Union. The tournament hall was in the Sheraton Metechi Palace Hotel of the Georgian capital. The tournament was open all female players representing the federations which comprise the European Chess Union (FIDE zones 1.1 to 1.10) regardless of their title or rating. The championship was an 11-round Swiss. The rate of play was 90 minutes for 40 moves plus 30 minutes for the rest of the game with an increment of 30 seconds per move, starting from move one.
Viktorija Cmilyte had an excellent start and won her first five games. By then she was leading by a full point, but in the next round she lost to Antoaneta Stefanova. Eventually this would be her only loss. After an easy win against Russian IM Marina Romanko and a draw with Black against IM Bela Khotenashvili, some crucial games followed. Cmilyte beat two experienced grandmasters in a row: Pia Cramling with White and Ketevan Arakhamia-Grant Ketevan with Black. Two quick draws on the top boards in the final round meant that, the Lithuanian lady kept her sole lead in the final standings. You can access the official website of the tournament here for the complete results and games. Meanwhile, here all the games of Viktorija.

European Women's Chess Championship in Georgia from May 6, 2011
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hi everyone,
The European Women's Individual Chess Championship 2011 is going to be held in Georgia. The ECU Office received three offers for the organization of the European Individual Women’s Championship 2011 by the application deadline. The offer from Italy was not approved by the Italian Chess federation, so it was not taken into account.
The remaining two offers were from the Georgian Chess Federation (Tbilisi) and the Turkish Chess Federation (Gaziantep).
The President of the European Chess Union, Mr Silvio Danailov, decided that the Championship would be held in Tbilisi. The competition will take place in “Sheraton Metechi Palace 5*” Hotel, May 6-19. The prize money will be in the amount of 110,000 EUR (88,000 EUR for the players and 22,000 EUR for the ECU).

Cmilyte leads Euro 2 rounds left
Hello everybody!
[Event "11th EICC Women"] [Site "Rijeka CRO"] [Date "2010.3.15"] [Round "9"] [White "Socko,M"] [Black "Cmilyte,V"] [Result "0-1"] [Eco "C63"]
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5
3. ... f5!? 4.d3 fxe4 5.dxe4 Nf6 6.O-O Bc5 7.Bxc6 bxc6 8.Nxe5 O-O 9.Bg5 Qe8 10.Bxf6 Rxf6 11.Nd3 Bd4 12.c3 Bb6 13.Nd2 d5 14.e5 Rf8 15.Kh1
( The game between Hernandez Hol 2287 - Gomez F 2462 , 2001 Holguin 82/(300) continued with 15.Qe2 Bf5 16.Ne1 Qg6 17.Kh1 Rae8 18.b4 c5 with compensation for the sacrificed pawn)
15. ... Qg6 16.Nb3 Ba6 17.Nbc1 Rf5 18.Qd2 Raf8 19.a4 Rh5 20.Re1
Here Cmilyte found the very strong continuation - 20. ... Rff5! with the threat to play 21. ... Qg3!! and then after 22. fxg3 Rxh2+ and Rh5#. That's why Monika replied with 21. h3
( If 21.a5 then 21. ... Qg3 !! 22. fxg3 Rxh2! 23. Kxh2 Rh5# )
The position before the 21st move of Black.
But Cmilyte continued the attack with the brilliant 21. ... Rf3! and soon was able to win the game
22.Nf4 Qh6 23.gxf3 Rxh3+ 24.Nxh3 Qxh3+ 25.Kg1 Qg3+ 26.Kh1 Bxf2 27.Qxf2 Qxf2 28.Nb3 Qxf3+ 29.Kg1 Be2 30.Nd4 Qg3+ 31.Kh1 Bd3 32.e6 Be4+ 33.Rxe4 dxe4 34.Rf1 Qh4+ 35.Kg2 Qg5+ 36.Kh3 e3 37.b4 c5 38.bxc5 Qxc5 39.Kg2 g6 40.Rf3 Qe5 41.Nc2 e2 42.Kf2 Qxe6 43.Ke1 Qe4 0-1
So after the 9th round, Viktorija Cmilyte is in clear first place with 7,5 points out of 9, followed closely by Anna Muzychuk, Antoaneta Stefanova and Pia Cramling, all with 7 points. There are 2 more rounds to go and we can be sure to see some exciting games. The game live can be found on the official web-site fo the organizers, here.
