not so easy for Moro today

...

(First by the way)

Aug-10-09  redwhitechess: nice to watch so many GMs to play lower rated opponents. the live watching look perfect with this setup rather than seeing four hours of Gm vs Gm, hehehe.

Go Hou!

Aug-10-09  waustad: That's some Swiss when GM Jovanic didn't play on one of the top 24 boards in the first round. His 2541 Elo put him 33rd. The midpoint of ratings is around 2250.
Aug-10-09  waustad: Korchnoi is probably playing in London so he doesn't have to play 2 rounds a day.
Aug-10-09  Prugno: Plenty of interesting live games in the Open today. Sutovsky is getting dismembered with White by Anish Giri; a good old-fashioned King walk in Kuzubov-Vernay; Dreev and Portisch fighting it out in an endgame like they might have done 20 years ago; etc. etc.

Looks like a great tournament; if they do it again, even without the Jubilee, I'd like to be there next year, since it's in the holiday season.

Aug-10-09  Prugno: Maybe I was a bit too optimistic about Giri's attack: Sutovsky just took the Queen and it's not clear that Black has any more than a perpetual.
Aug-10-09  Dredge Rivers: Not quite as strong a tournament as the 100th, 125th, and 150th anniversaries in 1909, 1934, and 1959. Those were the days!
Aug-10-09  waustad: <prugno>You can just hop on the train. For us on the other side of the pond that's more difficult. 25 years ago I used to go to tournaments and even play. Maybe after I retire in a couple of years.
Aug-11-09  Ladolcevita: <houyifan>good luck!~!!!~~
Aug-11-09  PhilFeeley: Agopov seems to be trouncing Hou Yifan today.

Agopov, Mikael - Hou Yifan
Jubilee Open Zuerich SUI (4), 2009.08.11
1.Nf3 Nf6 2.d4 e6 3.c4 Bb4+ 4.Bd2 c5 5.Bxb4 cxb4 6.g3 O-O 7.Bg2 d6 8.O-O Nc6 9.a3 Qb6 10.Qb3 e5 11.dxe5 dxe5 12.axb4 e4 13.c5 Qc7 14.Ng5 Qe5 15.f4 f3 16.Nxf3 Qxe2 17.Re1 Qb5 18.Ra4 Nd8 19.Nd4 Qd7 20.b5 Qc7 21.Qa3 a6 22.b6 Qb8 23.b4 Ne6 24.Nxe6 Bxe6 25.b5 Bd7 26.Nc3 Re8 27.Rf1 h5 28.bxa6 Qe5 29.c6 Qe3+ 30.Kh1 Bxc6 31.Bxc6 bxc6 32.b7 Qd3 33.Qa1 Ra7 34.Qb1 Qd6 35.Rb4 Nd7 36.Qf5 Rf8 37.Rbb1 Nb8 38.Ne4 Qd4 39.Nc5 Qd6 40.Rfd1 Qc7 *

Aug-11-09  PhilFeeley: Hess was similarly taken apart by Areshchenko:

Hess, Robert L - Areshchenko, Alexander
Jubilee Open Zuerich SUI (4), 2009.08.11
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+ Nc6 4.O-O Bd7 5.Re1 Nf6 6.c3 a6 7.Ba4 b5 8.Bc2 e5 9.d4 cxd4 10.cxd4 Bg4 11.Be3 exd4 12.Bxd4 Be7 13.Nc3 O-O 14.a3 Rc8 15.Qd3 Bh5 16.Bb3 Nd7 17.Bd5 Nc5 18.Qe3 Re8 19.b4 Bxf3 20.Bxc6 Rxc6 21.Qxf3 Ne6 22.Rad1 Rc4 23.Ne2 Qa8 24.Qe3 Bg5 25.Qg3 Qxe4 26.Bc3 Qc2 27.Rxd6 Re4 28.f4 Nxf4 29.Rd2 Nxe2+ 30.Rexe2 Qc1+ 31.Kf2 Qxd2 32.Rxd2 Bh4 0-1

Aug-11-09  Ladolcevita: Is that page German?Isnt Zurich a city in Switzerland?.... Anyway,Where is live broadcast button?
Aug-11-09  furrer: In Zürich german is the main spokesn language.
Aug-11-09  jon01: What is happening? Morozevich, Meier, Harikrishna, Malaniuk and lot of other players are not paired in for the fifth round...
Aug-11-09  parmetd: who got to play the world champs in simuls?
Aug-11-09  nummerzwei: <jon01: What is happening? Morozevich, Meier, Harikrishna, Malaniuk and lot of other players are not paired in for the fifth round...>

They're all taking a bye. (This won't be possible from rounds 6 to 9 according to the official site, so they're seizing the last opportunity).

Aug-11-09  WhiteRook48: oh Moro will pull it out
Aug-12-09  Ladolcevita: <furruR>
Isee,thanks,because I never heard Federer speak German...
Aug-12-09  PhilFeeley: Wow! The Morozevich game today:

Sandipan, Chanda - Morozevich, Alexander
Jubilee Open Zuerich SUI (6), 2009.08.12
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.h3 e6 7.g4 Be7 8.Bg2 Nfd7 9.Be3 Nc6 10.Qe2 O-O 11.O-O-O Nxd4 12.Bxd4 Qc7 13.f4 Rb8 14.Ba7 Ra8 15.Bd4 Re8 16.g5 b5 17.a3 Rb8 18.h4 b4 19.axb4 Rxb4 20.h5 Qa5 21.Nb1 e5 22.Bc3 Nc5 23.g6 Be6 24.Qd2 Rc8 25.f5 Qa1 26.Qe3 Rxb2 *

Aug-12-09  Prugno: The Moro game vs. Sandipan is as obscure as ever.
Aug-12-09  malthrope: Moro is just simply amazing! ;) Tried to take a short nap during the early complications, but that was totally impossible! Miss the finish of this one? No way!! ~lol~
Aug-12-09  PhilFeeley: Sandipan-Morozevich, continued:

27.Kd2 h6 28.Ke1 Bd7 29.gxf7+ Kf8 30.Nd2 Qa2 31.Bxb2 Qxb2 32.Rh3 Qxc2 33.Bf1 Bg5 34.Qa3 Nxe4 35.Nxe4 Qxe4+ 36.Be2 Bb5 37.Qf3 Qb4+ 38.Kf1 Bc6 39.Qa3 Qe4 40.Qf3 Qb4 41.Qa3 Qf4+ 42.Kg1 Qe4 43.Bf3 Be3+ *

Aug-12-09  PhilFeeley: They have since played 44. Kh1 Bc5. If this ends in a draw, it will be amazing.
