Einen Absturz erlebte Nigel Short, als er in Runde 8 zunächst gegen Salimova und anschließend auch noch gegen Bernadskiy verlor. Auf Twitter gab der erst kurz vor dem Turnier von COVID-19 genesene FIDE-Vizepräsident freimütig (und nicht ohne eine Prise englischen Humors) Auskunft über die eigenen Unzulänglichkeiten:
I used to play kids who were the same age as my children. Now I play kids who could be my grandchildren. It is a rather depressing reflection :)

I never thought I would get to the Vergani Cup, in Cattolica, having failed a PCR test less than 48 hours before I arrived. This tournament is an experiment as to whether I am suffering from “brain fog”. The jury is out on that, although I have played better these last 2 days.

I feel as grumpy as Korchnoi, after that last defeat - & that is not a good sign. Yes, my 2599 rated opponent was dead lost for most of the game, almost blundered mate in 2, & played like utter crap, but that was amply sufficient to beat me. Thankfully there are no more rounds.
