Zadar - Croatian Chess Federation and Chess Federation organized the Zadar County International Chess Tournament Zadar Open 2012 that ultimately almost turned into a major scandal because some players suspect the ultimate gaming Borislav Ivanov from Bulgaria, pointing out that their opponent uses a sophisticated form of fraud - reception of electronic signals which suggested he moves to withdraw.
Be reported to the tournament 36 players, among whom there were 16 grandmasters, six international masters, 10 FIDE Masters, two master candidates, and one chess player without titles - Bulgarian Ivanov. By rating is supposed to be cannon fodder is better ranked counterparts, but began to line wins. Beat three Croatian grandmaster Bojan Kurajica, Robert Zelčića and Zdenko Kozul.
- True, the eve of the eighth round we received a submission, in which it is suspected to sport Ivanova, so after his match with Borkijem Predojevic subsequent winner of the tournament, decided to examine both. Because it was suspected in some electronic gimmick, so I judge took the actions that anticipate FIDE rules, means nothing happened beyond the usual framework and procedures - said Stanislav Maroje, president of the Chess Federation of the Zadar County.
John is 25 years old and his occupation as a programmer. Everybody stared at him, but he was not giving anything that raises suspicion in receiving signals during the party.
Nowhere headphones and the like, and he still pulls moves for admiration and remain in the fight for first place even though it has the worst rating in the tournament.
Around the turn circulated the story that the Ivanov in a separate room off naked aiming thorough search ...
- Come to the store, what kind of lifting you're talking! Ivanov voluntarily took off his shirt, we emptied his pockets, took the pen with which he wrote down the moves and how it ended. I wish that those who are skeptical, and are entitled to it, the second time to be convinced that a firm submit the evidence in order to avoid similar problems. I have personally apologized to John that the whole event had not realized tragically - said Maroje.
In its 'destructive' campaign Ivanov string quite a few parties, but in the penultimate round stuck on PREDOJEVIĆ. However, in the last round was won by Grandmaster Ivan Saric.
- The moment they suspected we need direct transfer between the Party and John Predojević who won the match. It inspired the applicant for the correctness of the duel, however, in conversation with top chess players told us that moves is dragged Bulgarian players are not anything spectacular, nor is it unusual for a player gets poor rating Grandmasters. Anyway, recently won the title in Bulgaria student champions and some significant trunire. If a person is invested in chess can not see why it would be strange that won in Zadar - concluded Maroje. Contrary to his opinion, some experts in the chess world still express doubts that the player would have much lower credit rating could connect so many brilliant moves in key situations in several games.
True connoisseurs of chess games, chess and intrigue really doubt the ultimate edition of John. Also stick to the few who engage in any form of fraud in tournaments that are worth a thousand, two thousand euros, while the sophisticated equipment that can even be installed in contact lenses several times more expensive.
Croatian grandmaster Zlatko Klaric: In Bulgaria and Serbia, but was accused of cheating
Croatian grandmaster Zlatko Klaric said he was confident that John's most ordinary chess tricks and that he had been accused of fraud in tournaments in Bulgaria and Serbia.
- He is a chess programmer who is, say, from May 2011. earned to date only one rating point, and now in this tournament, 60 - said Klaric. The tournament is pulling moves of a chess computer, which is best seen in the match with Jovanic, when all 115 moves pulled "computer" and it is impossible for a man.
- The human brain is not calibrated for the perfect game - can only be Klaric.
In addition, he continued Klaric, when the semi-final match before you viewed when organizers off the broadcast of the match, he pacerski lost with the white pieces of Predojević later tournament winner. Klaric says that John has twice been in Zadar, where the B tournament took one ninth, 11th and the second time place, and is now on the A tournament was fourth. Probably would have won the ga "naked could not stop."
Otherwise, the Norwegian chess player Magnus Carlsen Sven has a rating of 2850, the highest in the world, but computers Houdini, Rybka and Fritz have a rating of 3200, which shows that the faster "think" and are likely to be at the service of John.
- Technology has gone so far as to have it, in theory, given the fact that the transmission of the matches, my friends in the next room, Sofia or in the Arctic, could send the moves the chips placed under the skin in the ear or tooth through vibration - said Klaric stating that the headquarters of many of the leading chess players sits a lot more programmers than chess grandmaster.
