Asian Nations Chess - 2016

Post by prashanthm »

In the just concluded Asian Nations Chess tournament, Indian men won the event over their fancied Chinese opponents.

Indian men had an initial hiccup when they drew against lowly-rated Mongolia, but came up with the goods when it mattered the most by defeating China in a closely fought match... 2.5-1.5...

Adhiban on the top-board and Vidit on the #3 excelled... Sethu and Sasi had average performances when compared to their rating and expectations..

Sethuraman S.P.	2658	5,0	8	-8,2
Vidit Santosh Gujrathi	2648	7,0	9	4,8
Sasikiran Krishnan	2637	 5,0	7	-0,9
Sengupta Deep	2554	2,5	3	-1,0

On the women's side, It was a disappointing performance by the indians...

They drew the Chinese, but lost to Kazakhs & VIetnamese and drew with Iranians in the last round... to finish a disappointing 4th
They had a chance to finish 2nd on tie-breaks if they had won their match against Iran in the last round, but they only managed a draw... :damn:

Soumya, on the 3rd board had 7 wins out of 8 rounds faltered on the last day... But to be fair, she played all 9 rounds without a break and that could have affected her... :-(
Harika and to some extent Tania had average performances, especially with their disappointing losses against the lowly rated Vietnamese ...
Padmini was disappointing with only 3 wins out of the 8 games she played, 2 of them coming against sub-2K elo players...

Code: Select all

Name	RtgI	Pts.	Games	rtg+/-
Harika Dronavalli	2515	4,5	7	-1,1
Tania Sachdev	2370	5,0	8	-3,4
Padmini Rout	2439	5,0	8	-5,2
Soumya Swaminathan	2384	7,0	9	9,0
Kulkarni Bhakti	2284	4,0	4	10,2
