From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Official logo of the Olympiad

The36thChess Olympiad (Spanish:La 36a Olimpíada de ajedrez;Catalan:La 36a Olimpíada d'escacs), organized by theFédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE) and comprising an open[note 1] and a women's tournament, as well as several events designed to promote the game ofchess, took place between October 14 and October 31, 2004, inCalvià on the Spanish island ofMallorca. There were 129 teams in the open event and 87 in the women's event. In total, 1204 players were registered (some of whom did not play, though).

Both tournament sections were officiated byinternational arbiterIgnatius Leong (Singapore). Teams were paired across the 14 rounds of competition according to theSwiss system. The open division was played over four boards per round, whilst the women's was played over three. In the event of a draw, the tie-break was decided by 1. TheBuchholz system; 2. Match points; 3. TheSonneborn–Berger system; and 4. TheMedian-Buchholz system.

Thetime control for each game permitted each player 90 minutes for all their moves, with an additional 30 seconds increment for each player after each move, beginning with the first.

Open event

[edit]

The open division was contested by 129 teams representing 125 nations. Spain, as hosts, fielded three teams, whilst theInternational Braille Chess Association (IBCA) and theInternational Physically Disabled Chess Association (IPCA) each provided one squad.

Led by first boardVasyl Ivanchuk, the seventh highest-rated player at the tournament, who recorded 9½ points over 13 rounds, and second reserveSergey Karjakin who, aged just 14 years, won 6 of his 7 games (surrendering adraw only to AmericanGregory Kaidanov),Ukraine scored all four possible points in each of their first three matches before "only" defeating Russia 2½-1½ in the fourth round, eventually accumulating a nearly insurmountable three-point lead after the penultimate round. The Ukrainian team nevertheless scored three points against France and claimed their first title, three points ahead of Russia, who had entered the tournament as the topseed, having brought four of the tournament's nine highest-rated players, and as defending six-time champions.

Armenia, one of just four teams to draw a match with Ukraine, paced by second boardLevon Aronian, who did not lose in 12 games, and third boardRafael Vaganian, who scored 8½ points in 11 games, lost 1½-2½ to Russia in the eighth round. Ultimately, on the strength of a 3½-½ final round defeat ofGeorgia, they tied Russia's 36½ points. Armenia were placed after Russia, though, on theBuchholztie-breaker system employed by the Olympiad, and finished, as in theprevious Olympiad, with thebronze medals. Hosts Spain, led byAlexei Shirov, just managed to squeeze into the top ten.

Notable absentees from the tournament were the no. 1 player in the world,Garry Kasparov, as well as classical World ChampionVladimir Kramnik and his challengerPeter Leko, who were just finishing theirchampionship match (Kramnik retained his title with a 7–7 tie). FIDE ChampionRustam Kasimdzhanov was present, however, and ledUzbekistan to 14th place by going undefeated in his 8 games (+4-0=4).

Women's event

[edit]

The women's division was contested by 87 teams representing 84 nations. Spain, as hosts, fielded two teams, whilst theInternational Braille Chess Association (IBCA) and theInternational Physically Disabled Chess Association (IPCA) each provided one squad.

China, led by first boardXie Jun (ex-World Champion) and second boardXu Yuhua (future champion), entered the competition as topseed and defending triple champions and quickly took the lead, conceding just twodraws in their first five matches. They then defeated the silver and bronze medallists from theprevious Olympiad, Russia and Poland (each 2–1), in the sixth and eighth rounds, respectively. Eventually they carried a six-point lead into a tenth round match with second placed United States.

Susan Polgar (another ex-World Champion), who entered the tournament as the second highest-rated player and achieved the best performance rating of all, drew Xie Jun, whileIrina Krush won her second board game against Xu Yuhua. A draw byAnna Zatonskih againstZhao Xue gave the Americans a 2–1 win over the Chinese team. In rounds eleven and twelve, China drew Hungary and lost toGeorgia, whilst the US team defeatedSlovakia and then scored a 2½-½ victory over Hungary, drawing within three points of China with two rounds remaining. China, though, defeated sixth-seed India and 12th-seedSlovakia in the final two rounds, scoring four points to preserve what was ultimately a three-point win and to clinch theVera Menchik Trophy for a fourth consecutive time.

Second-seed Russia were led byNadezhda Kosintseva, who won top honours on the first reserve board for scoring 10 points in 12 rounds. The Russians were only in eighth place after ten rounds but had advanced to fourth place entering the penultimate round, where they facedGeorgia, who they trailed by half a point. Although first boardMaya Chiburdanidze (ex-World Champion) and second boardNana Dzagnidze, who both scored 8½ points for their team over the event, drew their matches, third boardLela Javakhishvili lost to Kosintseva, giving the Russian team a half-point lead over Georgia; although Georgia defeatedUkraine 2½-½ in the final round, Russia managed to secure two points against France, equalling Georgia's total and winning the bronze medals ontie-breaks.

Newly crownedWorld ChampionAntoaneta Stefanova disappointed as captain of theBulgarian team, scoring only 5½ points in 11 games. Bulgaria eventually finished in 14th place.

Controversies

[edit]

Azmaiparashvili incident

[edit]

Prior to the closing ceremony of the Olympiad, FIDE vice presidentZurab Azmaiparashvili attempted to ascend the stage in order to inform the presenter of theNona Gaprindashvili Trophy that the latter ought more clearly to explain Gaprindashvili's contributions to the game of chess (Gaprindashvili had beenWorld Champion for 17 years). Security officers, in conjunction with local police, did not permit Azmaiparashvili access to tournament organizers, and a struggle ensued after which Azmaiparashvili, having sustained several injuries, was arrested by the locallaw enforcement. He secured his release onbail for€ 500 after having been held for 40 hours, and the charges against him were later dropped.

Azmaiparashvili and FIDE averred that Azmaiparashvili was detained and physically accosted despite he had properly andclearly [displayed] hisVIP credentials,[1] whilst representatives of the Spanish chess federation ("Federación Española de Ajedrez") and tournament organizers blamed Azmaiparashvili for the incident, saying that hewithout any previous provocation, assaulted [an] agent with a head butt to [the] mouth.[2]

Drug testing

[edit]

Having been formally recognized by theInternational Olympic Committee in 1999, in preparation for prospective inclusion in future iterations of theOlympic Games, FIDE implemented (in 2001)doping restrictions consistent with those adopted by theWorld Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Two players,Shaun Press ofPapua New Guinea andBobby Miller ofBermuda, refused, for various reasons, to submit urine samples foranalysis.[3][4] Both players appeared before the FIDE Doping Hearing panel, which decided to cancel the players' performances (Press had scored 7½ points in 14 games, while Miller had scored 3½ points in 9 games), reducing the final score of Papua New Guinea to 15½ (from 23) and that of Bermuda to 18½ (from 22).

Associated events

[edit]

Concomitant to the tournaments were several chess-related events planned by the organizing committee of the Olympiad, some under the auspices of FIDE; the events were known collectively as theFirst Chess Festival Calvià 2004. Within the festival were heldsimultaneous exhibitions, game demonstrations and lectures by top Spanish players, and several secondary tournaments, including one for amateur players, arapid chess event for players aged under 16, and one for senior players.

Chess classes were introduced into theprimary andsecondary schools, as well assenior centers, in and around Calvià in an effort to promote chess generally, and chess films were screened on thebeaches of Calvià every weeknight during the Olympiad. Chess-oriented art was displayed at anInternational Chess Fair, with prizes for top works awarded by a jury.
