The game G.Kacheishvili
– K.Sakaev attracted the spectators’ attention in round 4 of the
male championship. Everybody knows that Konstantin Sakaev plays
in the classical manner of the previous century – he is a wild
beast when playing with white pieces, while he is always ready
to accept draw when playing with black ones against any competent
grandmaster. In this tournament, it took him 15 moves to draw
the game with black pieces against L.-D. Nisipeanu and 12 moves
to do so against S. Movsesian.
Sakaev would gladly agree for the draw in his game against Kacheishvili
but his opponent was not pleased with such an outcome. Sakaev
tried to repeat the moves for one time, but Kacheishvili avoided
it and persisted when the second opportunity happened. So Sakaev
had to fight it seriously. His opponent won the exchange but Sakaev
played chess just better. Generally it was a usual game, but what
did arise such an interest for it? The case was that it happened
to be the only victory on the leading 10 boards.
