2012 Mind Games

SportAccord World Mind Games take place in Beijing, China 12th to 19th December 2012. Bridge, Chess, Draughts, Go and Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) are the games featured.

Report from The Week in Chess:

There are three two day events. Rapid, Blitz and finally blindfold chess. Men's and women's sections.

Men's Rapid: Laurent Fressinet beat Hikaru Nakamura and edged him to the title on tie-break after both finished on 5.5/7.

Women's Rapid: Kateryna Lahno edged out Hou Yifan, Humpy Koneru and Anna Muzychuk on tie-break after all scored 5/7.

Blitz Men. Sergey Karjakin won the blitz with 12.5/15 (note that his game against Bologan had the wrong result in the PGN alongside Zatonskih 0-1 Hou in the women's) a point clear of Hikaru Nakamura.
