by Shahid Ahmed - 07/10/2022

Vishy Anand scored an important win for his team CSU ASE Superbet in the fourth round of European Chess Club Cup 2022. The maestro scored a fantastic victory over Shakhriyar Mamedyarov to ensure his team draws with Schachclub Viernheim 1934 e.V. Magnus Carlsen defeated Pentala Harikrishna, still his team Offerspill Chess Club lost to Novy Bor Chess Club 2.5-3.5. Vidit Gujrathi registered his fourth consecutive victory to become India no.4 in the live ratings. Novy Bor will face Superbet in the fifth round which means it will be Harikrishna vs Anand. They will face each other for the first time in a rated game since November 2019 at Tata Steel India Rapid and Blitz. Round 5 starts today at 2 p.m. local time, 5:30 p.m. IST.

CSU ASE Superbet - Schachclub Viernheim 1934 e.V. : 3-3

Vishy Anand (2756) scored the most important win over Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (2747) for CSU ASE Superbet in the fourth round. Gukesh lost his game and the remaining four games ended in draws.

Ahmad - Mamedyarov

Position after 28...Bh4

White's position might look absolutely uncomfortable here. His king is exposed, pieces are cramped, on the other hand, Black's position looks absolutely pleasant. Vishy Anand was playing with the white pieces. It goes without saying that he can obviously find and see things which mere mortals cannot. 29.Rf1 Ne5 30.f4 Nc4 31.Nxc4 Qxc4 32.f5 Bf7 33.Rf4 Qd5 34.Rd4 Qe5 35.Bf4 Qe2 36.Qxe2 dxe2 37.Re4 e1Q+ 38.Rcxe1 Bxe1 39.Rxe1 White completely turned things around in just ten moves.

Vidit - Tari

Position after 27...c4

Tari went wrong 27...c4 in an already difficult endgame. Vidit seized his opportunity 28.bxc4 dxc4 29.Qe4 Qd7 30.Ke2 Nd6 31.Qa8+ Kh7 32.Qxa5 Qe6 33.Qe5 Qg6 34.Kd1 Nc8 35.Qg3 and Black resigned, as the queen exchange cannot be avoided.
