Salimova in Salamanca
Has started with a nice win v Adams in quite a brisk attacking performance - Adams doesn't often lose like that to players of either gender. (Presumably he has lost to other female players than Judit Polgar in the last 30 years, but I don't remember to whom. In fact, I am only assuming that he has lost to Polgar).

Re: Salimova in Salamanca
From a quick look at Chessbase, his results vs Judit P are +7=13-7 (including RP and blitz)
I may have miscounted and I didn't check for duplicates. He seems to have lost once to Xie Jun in the late 80s.

Re: Salimova in Salamanca
Does he appear to have lost a standard play game against JP? (And in the last 30 years: I think that he lost to JP in the late 1980s as well).
Mind you, it's the way he lost today as much as the result itself which is striking.

Re: Salimova in Salamanca
This one might be the end of Adams' remarkable tournament winning run. Shocking one move blunder in round four, a bit like Kramnik's against Deep Fritz.

Trying too hard to win a drawish or drawn position perhaps. To judge from the clock times recorded by lichess, it's a rapidplay tournament. A slow one by some standards, it looks like 40 minutes with 10 second increments.Jonathan Rogers wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 8:29 pmShocking one move blunder in round four, a bit like Kramnik's against Deep Fritz.

Re: Salimova in Salamanca
Oh is this all rapidplay? That changes a lot, and might restore Adams' possible record of not losing in classical chess to any woman other than Judith Polgar for the last thirty years.

That may be correct. It would be disappointing if the tournament was registered with incorrect details, but who cares nowadays?Mick Norris wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 11:11 pm40 minutes plus 5 second increment according to Chess Results

The seventh edition of the Salamanca Chess Festival is taking place on May 21-25 at the “Centro Internacional del Español” in the city’s prestigious university. The Masters Tournament, featuring four men and four women, is a single round-robin with a time control of 40 minutes plus 5-second increments.
There's a final report which hasThe University of Salamanca is organizing the seventh edition of the Salamanca Cradle of Modern Chess Festival on May 21-25. The festival commemorates the fact that the modern rules of chess were first formulated in 1497 by Luis Ramírez de Lucena in Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez con CL Juegos de Partido, the first extant chess book. Lucena was a student at the University of Salamanca.
Ruslan Ponomariov scored back-to-back wins on Saturday to leapfrog former sole leader Kirill Alekseenko in the standings and win the Salamanca Masters. Alekseenko would have at least tied for first had he not lost his final-round game against Michael Adams.
