Radjabov Wins Airthings Masters GM Teimour Radjabov won the Airthings Masters on Sunday. The Azerbaijani grandmaster beat GM Levon Aronian in one more game and drew twice to clinch the $60,000 first prize. GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave came third after beating GM Daniil Dubov in their second match. Aronian vs. Radjabov 1-2 The match started with an incredible game where Aronian got to sacrifice a rook with check, similar to the famous 1960 Spassky-Bronstein game that was used in the 1963 James Bond film "From Russia With Love." In the opening scene of that movie, we see "Kronsteen" and "MacAdams" at the "Venice International Grandmasters Championship." James Bond On Chess https://youtu.be/qdCo8UVxeXU It's the end of the Spassky-Bronstein game that is shown (with White's pawns on d4 and c5 removed, by the way), but the star move of that game was 15.Nd6. Aronian knew that game of course and mentioned it in his post-match interview: "I think I got very excited in game one when I got to sacrifice the rook with check. It reminded me of the game that Spassky won against Bronstein in the King's Gambit. It's basically kind of similar, you also give your rook with check, and then there is no defence." "The first game was really bad, seriously bad," said Radjabov. "I don’t know if I had lost it if I had been able to come back somehow, but I was really happy that I saved it." Despite Radjabov's remarks and the fact that it ended in a draw, this was an early candidate for Game of the Year 2021 As he needed to win this best-of-four to force a tiebreak, Aronian started to take risks as early as his first black game. This time playing the Grunfeld from the black side, he sacrificed a pawn on move 21 as a way to avoid a move repetition, but never saw it back. Radjabov's technique was excellent: Holding a rook endgame to a draw, Radjabov secured the last half-point he needed to win the tournament and the $60,000 first prize. Aronian won $40,000 for second place. Radjabov was quite emotional on camera, holding his head in his hands for a while. "Today it was really tough," he said. "Trying to keep the focus and concentration till the very end takes a lot of emotions as well, to keep this way of calmness that I'm trying to produce, not to show if I'm happy or not happy about my position. It took me so much energy, I am completely exhausted." Once again we see Radjabov proving that, although he is not playing many tournaments, he is still an absolute top grandmaster. He made that clear as well when he won the 2019 FIDE World Cup. The Azerbaijani denied that he ever retired from chess, saying: "I played this 2013 Candidates Tournament and I just started to lose all of the games against the top players, so I said: should I just stop it, like, brutally? I just stopped playing, that was the only way to proceed because I was playing the super-tournaments, I was lacking confidence after the Candidates, so I just tried to take a kind of break and work on my chess. I completely changed my repertoire, started to play the Berlin and so on. Before, I was only playing the King’s Indian and Sicilians and stuff, and from time to time the King’s Gambit, so [coach GM Vladimir] Chuchelov said this is not the way, you have to be a trendy professional chess player, and I just changed my style and tried to play in some official events." It's a pity that Radjabov didn't get to show his skills at the 2020-2021 Candidates. With the pandemic still raging all over the world, his decision not to play back in March is all the more understandable. For now, he can celebrate. In fact, he said he planned to celebrate "until the morning," also catching up on the New Year's Eve celebrations with friends that he skipped. Regards @Satwixx Satwik Thx to chess.com news
