Festival de Ajedrez, Ciudad de Mexico 2006
Reported by Diego Garces

It was a most wonderful Chess Festival in Mexico today
(10-22-2006.) In the quadrangular tournament Alexandra tied for
silver with GM Viktor Kortchnoi (and beating him in the direct
encounter) behind the winner Sergei Karjakin. Apart from that the
city of Mexico beat the Guiness World Record of maximum number of games
played in simuls on one day (14,065), and Anatoly Karpov also beat the
Guiness World Record with the maximum number of autographed books
(1,951), congratulations to all! We've put a monster photo album
on
Chesspics. |

Alexandra had a superb performance in Mexico City by
winning 2 out of her 3 matches, against Mexican GM Gilberto Hernandez
and against legendary GM Viktor Kortchnoi from Switzerland. She
only lost one match, against GM Sergei Karjakin of the Ukraine, who
eventually ended up winning the tournament, with 4 points.
Alexandra Kosteniuk and Viktor Kortchnoi share the second-third spot,
with 3 points each. The Mexican GM ends the tournament table with
2 points. |
