Chess Weekly #2
 Linares
Yuri Razuvaev, a grandmaster and honorable coach of Russia, assisted
to Ruslan Ponomariov in Linares. Here we present his impressions,
given in an interview to Yuri Vasiliev.
Yuri Razuvaev: Start of the tournament
was rather dramatic for Ruslan. It was just not about his losing
the games, but it was rather about the way, how he lost them.
Ruslan could not concentrate properly. After his first game against
Anand, he demonstrated all the correct moves to me, the case is
that he could not just perform them during the game. The same
happened also in the other games. It was rather difficult to me
in purely human sense
When one is in such a deep trouble, the
question of a normal work emerges above anything else. The subtleties
are utterly irrelevant. more

Reykjavik
Tournament on quick chess (25 minutes per game)
called together a considerable strength. A good start was shown
by Sutovskiy 6 out of 6 points! However playing Black he did not
manage to defeat Shirov, so in the last day of the event there were
as many as 3 leaders: Shirov, Sutovskiy and Gurevich. The final
two duels were won by Gurevich who beat both his opponents with
the Black and thus got the first prize 1 point ahead of Sutovskiy
and Sokolov sharing the 2-3rd places.

7.0; 4-12. Lautier, Shirov, Adams, Van Wely, Nikolic P., Ehlvest,
