2000年卡雷帕公开赛2000年爱沙尼亚卡雷帕公开赛于7月8-14日举行。 比赛采用瑞士积分制7轮。 在1996-1999年间，卡雷帕赛通常都是安度·麦利蒂以巨大优势夺冠。希望今年出现势均力敌和有趣的比赛。预测有三位棋手值得关注：弗拉基米尔·苏切科夫、亚历山大·克里马辛和弗拉迪斯拉夫·卡拉谢夫。
Maris Tuvikene 替Johann Lents 打了第一轮。 In reality there wasn't any tension. Alexander Klimashin, who a couple of years ago had to satisfy with the 13th place on Karepa Open, was sureness himself, by winning all of his 7 games. Two years ago Sasha was more dedicated to studies and therefore was into renju a bit less, but now he is achieving a bigger stability than before. He is a master of positional game, can see combinations ahead and also concentrate brilliantly for the games. He has definitely got good chances to become a serious competition for the best players in the world Ando Meritee and Shigeru Nakamura very soon. Vladislav Kareyev demonstrated again a brightly powerful style, which is mainly based on a straight attack. Vlad's power to see variants ahead is amazingly good. Still this kind of a style, "catching storks with an axe" is often destructive for him for example in his game with Klimashin. Truly unlucky on this tournament was the third favourite Vladimir Sushkov. During his first game with Kareyev he forgot that the rules of the tournament expected making own 30 moves in 90 minutes and somehow thought that there was no control move. He was checking his variants once again in a winning position when suddenly his time fell and he found out that he had lost the game. In the second round Sushkov met Johann Lents and had time trouble again. Looking for a sure way to win Volodya was late again - the arrow fell while he was placing the control move. So he was without two definite points. He was close to losing one more game by time - in fourth round with Evelyn Tihkan Sushkov barely made the control move. That is why the third place on the tournament went to Pavel Ses who had considerably more luck. As usual we had a blitz tournament with free rules (the game starts with placing three stones anywhere on the board, after that reverse is possible and there's only one fifth move). Klimashin also won this with full success. Next year in Karepa we plan to officiate a tournament with full thinking time and these rules. Boys from St. Petersburg certainly thought that they would participate. There's definitely a need to test new opening rules, because with the ones that are valid now, we can't hold out for more than a few years.
