The first FIDE Grandprix in 2015 just finished in Tbilisi, Georgia. GM Evgeny Tomashevksy turns out the deserved winner of this event with his consistency right from round 1. The top guy such as Alexander Grischuk, who begin the tournament as world #2 with 2810 elo rating, did not make any buzz and quite under performed with just 5/11 result. Grischuk in the final round must drop to world #5 and 2793 live rating. Anish Giri also barely finished 5.5/11 and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave must also satisfied with 5/11.
On other hand, Jobava Baadur is one of the must watch guy in the tournament. His antique plays save this tournament from being dull and bore (there are so many draws). Though Jobava's eccentric opening and tactical manuever must costed him some games, he seemingly able to beat the "red-move" and won some nice games. Mamedyarov, Leineir Dominguez and Peter Svidler are some of his victims, as well Rustam Kasimdzhanov who bizarrely saved from final lost position and get a draw. The netizen now called Jobava Baadur mr."Red Moves".

FIDE Grandprix Tbilisi 2015, won by Tomashevsky, official website
Turnamen catur seri grandprix yang digelar di kota Tbilisi, Georgia, akhirnya usai dengan posisi puncak dimenangkan oleh pecatur Rusia, Evgeny Tomashevsky. Turnamen ini akan menentukan dua kursi pecatur untuk bertarung di turnamen Kandidat menantang juara dunia. Dengan kemenangan di Tbilisi ini, Evgeny Tomashevsky langsung meloncat ke posisi pertama klasemen total grandprix ini. Tomashevksy bersama Mamedyarov berada di posisi 1 dan 2 klasemen gabungan ini. Seri terakhir akan berlangsung di Khanty-Mansiysk.
Di Tbilisi ini selain Tomashevksy yang menjadi bintang, kita juga menyaksikan aksi seru dari pecatur tuan rumah Jobava Baadur. Pecatur yang sekarang dijuluki si "Langkah Merah" ini muncul sebagai tontonan partai catur paling seru ditonton. Jobava disebut si "Langkah Merah" karena langkah-langkahnya yang kerap melawan evaluasi komputer (warna merah di Chessbomb), namun tetap bisa menang karena lawan-lawannya juga kerap tidak mampu memahami posisinya. Setidaknya tiga pecatur menjadi korban si Jobava yaitu Mamedyarov, Peter Svidler dan Leiner Dominguez. Di babak 10, Rustam Kasimdzanov hampir juga menjadi korbannya, namun mereka sepakat remis di posisi terakhir di mana harusnya Jobava bisa menekan untuk menang. Lihat partai catur di atas.
