Command cup of the world: one for all and all for one (№2 (20) from June, 09th, 2009)

Already in the first day of tournament spectators managed to observe a meeting of two strong teams of Russia and Ukraine. All excited, how will play with Jeanne Shmatchenko Anna Mazhirina who basically competes recently in снукере. After a while it became clear that the big break in tournaments on a pyramid has played with the twice champion of the world a malicious joke. The first party Jeanne has moved, but Anna was not in debt, has caught up with the competitor and has come forward. Having on a regiment seven spheres, Mazhirina beat very thin brother-in-law in the centre: the billiard-player simply скатывала the in a billiard pocket and to concern the stranger it should only for that rules have been observed. Alas, Anna has missed the mark. Jeanne has made even the account, but the Russian in last sphere has played better and has come forward. The destiny of a duel dared in контре, and has dared far not in favour of Russia.

It was already the second minus to a command of Russia-1 as on the first table the meeting Pashchinsky – Tarnovets the ending of superiority of Europe among young men has ended with loss of the Russian. Then it has conceded to Sergey Pletnev in контре, and here, on a command cup, has inflicted defeat over the contender with the account 4:1. Elena Bunos who was quit with Anna Mazhirinoj 3:0 was not in debt also. In internal dispute of two world champions there was more strongly last. For a victory over Russians one more prize was necessary to Byelorussians. But in the fifth party the initiative has appeared again in hands at Jury Pashchinskogo, it is a pity that for a short while. Evgenie Kurta could win and this party. Probably, in the following party psychological pressure has reached a maximum: players recouped, mistaken much. The first Jury took in hands. It a beautiful series has finished party. Again in game balance was established. And here something has cracked. It is impossible to tell that Jury Pashchinsky has surrendered. More likely, Evgenie Kurta has felt taste of a coming nearer victory and has undertaken a kick. 8:2 and 8:0 – with such account the Byelorussian has made two last parties, and fifth it has combined with кия. The command of Russia-1 has withdrawn. In semi-finals Russia-2 and Kazakhstan (1:3) and Belarus with Ukraine (3:0) played. Kazakhstan and Belarus have reached the final, and Russia-2 and Ukraine by right have divided bronze medals of tournament. The final of a cup of the world passed in sports hall ДЮСШ with the huge not curtained off windows. It is good that day was cloudy because if the sun beat in windows, it would be impossible to play. Weather was this time favourable to billiard-players, but whether it is possible to count on such unreliable partner?

The beginning of a female meeting has forced to worry enough fans of the Belarus command. Anel Bekbosunova of the beginning is very good, and despite the penalty in some minutes on its regiment was already seven spheres. The old introduction «seven – not» here has not worked eight. The Kazakh billiard-player has won the first party. But already in a following piece all has fallen into place. Elena has made a series of six spheres, and its competitor was mistaken twice, once having substituted at once on two billiard pockets. The account in a meeting was made even. The following game piece has passed under the similar scenario. In last party the Kazakhstan billiard-player has forced to be fidgety the world champion. Game at Anel was the extremely rough. It caused delights of public fine blows and there and then made the silliest mistakes. Nevertheless it managed to hammer in 7 spheres, and the destiny of party dared the ambassador-dnim. Elena Bunos has finished a meeting the effective brother-in-law in the centre. It has executed the problem. Now business was for men in the Belarus national team. In the first party at young men Alihan Karaneev, playing a billiard pocket, has struck too strongly: spheres have scattered on all table, one of them has stopped opposite to an angular billiard pocket, it was possible to collect party simply. But Andrey Glushanin has appeared is exact only twice. After an error of contender Alihanu Karaneevu it cost nothing to collect party with кия. In the second party the Byelorussian has begun well: has put a sphere from robbery, but again was mistaken on the third blow. Алихан has answered with one more series from eight spheres. At last in the third party Glushanin it was rehabilitated. It has combined it with кия. The fourth again beyond Alihanom Karaneevym. In the fifth Andrey has made a series of six spheres and has not missed the chance, closely having come nearer to the contender. 3:2 – still in favour of the Kazakhstan billiard-player. The following party could become last. Глушанин it was inexact at robbery, but Alihan could combine only four spheres. The Byelorussian has answered them with party with кия. In контровой to a meeting of Alihan and Andrey have presented each other on chance. Глушанин has allowed казахстанцу to win this meeting. Evgenie Kurty's game and Kanybeka Sagyndykova has begun with отыгрышей. First two parties in good style Yaroslav Tarnovetsky took. Second two remained for Jury Pashchinskim. Thus it has shown excellent game, independently creating itself a favourable situation, instead of using errors of the contender. However Tarnovetsky was on lifting. In following three parties it was ahead.

Worthy repulse has been given Ukraine only on the third table where juniors played. Sergey Pletnev with a whitewash 4:0 has beaten Arthur Pivchenko, having started thereby the second circle of games. In additional game Jury Pashchin-sky has moved. It took to itself(himself) robbery that is why, after mutual errors, has made party with кия. In the second Tarnovetsky it was possible to combine from robbery, but... With кия it has not turned out parties. However destiny of a meeting has solved not only skill of players. The fate has presented to the Ukrainian of whole three "fools". Without them it is not known, how there would be a game. Yaroslav each time, appear, was sincerely afflicted and raised the left hand as a sign of an apology. Eventually Jury who, as it is known, rather остер on language, has joked: «That you apologise? Time so you are upset, выстави a sphere!» But, of course, anybody has exposed nothing, it would be against rules, and the command of Russia-1 has left in the bottom grid. In the first day of tournament anything sensational any more does not happen, and here the second was rich on surprises. They have begun with a match Ukraine – Kazakhstan. Arthur Pivchenko was completely rehabilitated for defeat from Sergey Pletnev. With the account 4:2 it has beaten Alihana Karaneeva, the world champion on «Combined a feast-mide». Kanybek Sagyndykov has made everything to rescue the command. At first Sagyndykov has beaten Tarnovetsky in the basic meeting 5:3. Practically at once, without interruption, players left to a table once again to battle to two victories. In the first party the triple world champion has acted perfectly. Having taken advantage of an error of the contender, it a good series has finished a game piece. In the second party Kanybek has combined from robbery, has added 2 more spheres, and then, after inexact blow Tarnovetsky, and 5 more. However after Arthur Pivchenko's feat of efforts of one first number of the Kazakh command was insufficiently. Has brought the mite in a victory of the team of Ukraine and Jeanne Shmatchenko. She has confidently won the first party. In the second has combined from robbery, has hammered two more spheres, and then there was an annoying error: the sphere has got stuck in a billiard pocket. But fortunately for Ukrainians, Anel Bek-bosunova could not untwist a position. The second chance to competitor Shmatchenko has not given. Ukrainians the first left in a semi-final of competitions.

The second sensational match was played between commands of Belarus and Russia-2. It would Seem, what competition MS Ilja Andrijashin and КМС could make Nadezhda Konobeeva and Andrey Burdanov eminent and titled МСМК to Evgenie Kurte, Elena Bunos and КМС to Andrey Glushaninu? However billiards as usually, has disposed in own way, and the dark horse in the name of a command of Russia-2 became an unexpected obstacle for Byelorussians. At first, after losses of first and second number, has suddenly won the third number, Andrey Burdanov, having inspired the victory on feats of colleagues on command. Ilja Andrijashin which have lost the first meeting to Evgenie Kurte dry, has won in the second easily enough. The meeting account became 2:2, and its destiny should be solved to girls. The experts on billiards who were in a hall, have agreed in opinion that all not so is unequivocal in this meeting as can seem to the uninitiated. Operating world champion Elena Bunos, as it is known, differs a certain psychological instability and can "float" at any moment. It seems that and happens. Бунос has lost game, and Konobeeva has caught spirit, and the meeting of commands has come to the end on - a trouble of Russia-2 which left in the semi-ending. And the way of Belarus to medals was extended on one meeting with a command of Russia-1.

Jury Pashchinsky has quickly won the first party. In the second Evgenie Kurta has tried to combine party with кия, but, unfortunately, it managed to combine only six spheres. Jury Pashchinsky has answered it a family. Eighth he has tried to play with a swagger – because of a back. Was mistaken, but by the Byelorussian has not been punished. 2:0 – Jury Pashchinsky has moved. The third party it has turned out tightened. Sportsmen put on one – on two spheres. On "swing" has more carried to Evgenie Kurte. It was hooked and took, at last, party. Evgenie Kurta has combined the fourth party from robbery, and then has squeezed out a maximum of the position which have developed on a table, having hammered in five spheres, and has well recouped. Item struggle has begun, after which Kurta has hammered in the eighth and has made even the account in a meeting. In the meantime behind the next table Andrey Glushanin settled accounts for loss in Billiard-players hammered on one – on two spheres. But Kanybek always was ahead. The Kazakhstan player has won. The second party became an exact copy of the first. Сагындыков slowly, with east calmness conducted it to a victory. Evgenie Kurta took a break. After a time-out he has won party dry. In a following game piece at Kurty of business have gone even better: it could put a sphere on a billiard pocket and has hammered all in eight with кия. Here he has created all itself: has put from robbery, has put a sphere on a billiard pocket, has competently rolled, has made transfer into another. Evgenie has moved in a meeting. After a time-out of Kanybek Sagyndykov has combined from robbery, and then has added on the shelf three more spheres, but only three. To a table there was Evgenie Kurta. The Belarus billiard-player played for certain. The main thing – to put a sphere in a billiard pocket alignment, and there a trick. The third party with кия successively – and it already in a step from a victory, so its necessary national team. In контровой parties Kurta has combined from robbery. The position on a table remained closed. Evgenie has extended from it five spheres, then was mistaken. Каныбек in this situation has preferred not to attack, and to recoup. The same decision was selected by Evgenie. From патовой situations the first it has decided to leave white-rus. It has hidden in the corner the difficult brother-in-law. In following blow of Kurta it was inexact. But Kanybek has made to it prakti-cheski an imperial gift. Trying to play with robbery, it has disorganised a heap. Not without effort, but the Belarus billiard-player has hammered two missing spheres. Now, even if Evgenie would lose Kanybeku in an additional meeting to two spheres, the destiny of a duel was solved by Elena Bunos, and it is much stronger than the Kazakhstan competitor. In an additional meeting both contenders were reserved and uneasy. They exchanged errors. But nevertheless Evgenie Kurta was more exact. A command of Belarus – at the higher step of a podium, Kazakhstan – on the second.
