The Women’s World Chess Cup 2012 is being staged by the Ugorian Chess Academy in Khanty-Mansiysk, from 11 November to 2 December.
Cuba's daily Granma, the
official organ of the central committee of the Communist Party of
Cuba, reported very important news in their printed edition of
November 14, 2012.
The very interesting article was
written by Harold Iglesias Manresa. He didn't miss a bit in his
excellent report. He told his readers about the encounter of Cuban
Grandmaster Maritza Arribas, versus her opponent Bela
Khotenashvili of Georgia, which used to be part of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics.
Maritza's ELO rating points was 2,273
before her encounter with Bela and was ranked 242nd in the
feminine world chess rankings. Bela's ELO points rating was 2,555, a
very, very strong opponent.
I would be very happy if may ELO rating
were to be as high as Maritza's. I like to play chess, but the
highest ELO rating that I have ever achieved is a little bit higher
than 1,400. You have to practice and play a lot of games to achieve
the ELO rating of the World Chess Champion, Viswanathan Anand of
India who rates above 2,800 ELO points.
After four games in her first round,
Maritza's had a effective rate of 62.50% for a rating
performance of
2,599 ELO points. It pays to beat a tough opponent.
CONGRATULATIONS
MARITZA!
