Unfortunately, in the Unity tournament under 16 on April 5th, the first and fourth place finishers were caught cheating, and the Unity committee, while removing them from the standings, deprived them of participating in all the Unity competitions in the future.
🎖The picture above shows the real top finishers in this tournament. They did a great job and all they deserved it.🎖
As we mentioned before, the goal of this tournament is providing a safe environment where chess players can compete and enjoy the games.
متاسفانه در مسابقه 5 آوریل در بخش زیر 16 سال، تقلب مقامهای اول و چهارم به اثبات رسید و تیم یونیتی ضمن حذف آنها از جدول رده بندی، آنها را از شرکت در همه رقابتهای یونیتی محروم ساخت.
🎖جدول فوق پس از حذف نفرات متقلب میباشد و بازیکنان حاضر در تصویر بالا به شایستگی حائز عناوین برتر شده اند🎖
همانطور که از قبل خاطرنشان نمودیم، هدف برگزاری این مسابقات فراهم نمودن بستری است که شطرنجبازان در محیطی سالم و بدور از تقلب در کنار هم به رقابت بپردازند و از بازیها لذت ببرند.

If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me.

Complex but amazing ending game by strong GMs
Svidler won with black pieces. Maybe all players less than 2700 wouldn't win that.
