Tournament Review

The World Junior Championships took place in Zagan, Poland between 13th-27th July 1997. The event again showed the strength in depth in junior chess with the top seeds in both the men's and women's events being some way off the pace at the end. The boys's event was very close. Tal Shaked and Hristos Banikas were level going into the final rounds. Tal was black against Sergei Movsesian. He was offered a draw on move 14 but he had a difficult decision to make. A draw would produce a 4th and final GM norm Tal had been seeking. Also although the winner of the World Juniors gets a GM norm automatically if they were clear winners, it was not clear that a norm would be offered to a winner on tie-break. On the other top board there was an interesting situation. Mirumian had a better position against Banikas but an inferior tie-break to Tal also by winning Mirumian would score a GM norm so he did not lack motivation. After a thought of about half an hour Tal agreed a draw and had to await the result of the game. As it was Mirumian beat Banikas making Tal the winner of the title. Tal's second was John Watson who also worked with the US participant in the women's event. According to Tal's father Moshe his help was indispensable. One of the prizes for winning the event is a place in the FIDE World KO Championships in Groningen later in the year.

Things were also close in the women's event. Before the last round Harriet Hunt was clear leader by half a point. She had black against Anna Zatonskih of the Ukraine. Her victory on time just before the first time-control gave her guaranteed first place. Hunt has been an improving talent in England over recent years and her victory doesn't come as a total surprise. Top seed Corina Peptan scored 7/13.

The gamescores were produced very quickly day by day. However this led to a number of errors in the moves so the games should be treated with caution. Nevertheless I was very impressed with the professional nature with which the bulletin was compiled, often it takes hours to sort out the headers for the games (the players, adding round numbers etc) which were done exceptionally well in this bulletin.
