| May-12-13 | | waustad: They are going to rapid tiebreak tomorrow! |
|
| May-12-13 | | Petrosianic: Rapid Tiebreak? No Most Losses, Sonnenborn, or One Potato Two Potato like in a Candidates Tournament? |
|
| May-12-13 | | schweigzwang: Imagine. |
|
| May-12-13 | | dx9293: <Petrosianic> :-)) |
|
| May-12-13 | | Everett: < Petrosianic: Rapid Tiebreak? No Most Losses, Sonnenborn, or One Potato Two Potato like in a Candidates Tournament?> Perhaps they should choose by deciding who makes the most bitter and sarcastic posts. |
|
| May-12-13 | | Marmot PFL: With a national title at stake there has to be a playoff. |
|
| May-12-13 | | parmetd: Well and look at Ramirez's easy schedule... he didn't even have to play Gareev. |
|
| May-12-13 | | RookFile: Whatever. Kamsky wins the tiebreak. No worries. |
|
| May-12-13 | | dx9293: 2614 TPR for Troff in the US Championship. That should equal a GM norm (no federation requirements for National Championships or National Team Championships). |
|
| May-13-13 | | Ezzy: Top 6 get a World Cup place. |
|
| May-13-13 | | schweigzwang: Whoa, look at that huge tie for 6th place! |
|
| May-13-13 | | Strongest Force: Looks like 1 blitz game will decide after both rapid games were drawn. |
|
| May-13-13 | | Edeltalent: <StrongestForce> From what I understood, it won't be a Blitz game. White gets 45min and has to win, so both players will (secretly) bid how few time they are willing to accept to get Black and draw odds. |
|
| May-13-13 | | Edeltalent: In fact Ramirez "won" the bid and got Black, offering 19:40min (Kamsky bid 20min). There's an increment of 5sec per move. |
|
| May-13-13 | | Strongest Force: That's better than blitz. Thx Edeltalent. |
|
| May-13-13 | | jamesmaskell: Kamsky wins the Armageddon game. Cant knock Ramirez. He played his socks off. Well done to him. |
|
| May-13-13 | | Marmot PFL: So Kamsky won as expected, as he would also have won on the tiebreaks. |
|
| May-13-13 | | Eyal: Both Christiansen & Shabalov finished without a single drawn game. Was it announced who qualified to the world cup among those who finished with 5 points? (I gather there are 5 qualifying spots open for players other than Kamsky, who already qualified based on his rating). |
|
| May-13-13 | | Just Another Master: Thg top 5 made it even Holt who really deserved it. Terrific final games today, great excitement, congrats to both players for putting on a great show! |
|
| May-13-13 | | Eyal: Ok, according to the report on chess.com (http://www.chess.com/news/krush-cro...) the 5th championship qualifier is Christiansen (in addition to Ramirez, Onischuk, Gareev & Holt); with Kamsky (and Nakamura, of course) qualifying by rating, and Shabalov & Kaidanov qualified already from the 2012 Continental Championship. |
|
| May-13-13 | | schweigzwang: Yes, at the tournament site it show that among those at 5/9 with five games with black, Christiansen had the highest S-B score. |
|
| May-13-13 | | waustad: Congratulations to Ramirez for the best result of his career. |
|
| May-13-13 | | The Last Straw: Congrats to Kamsky for becoming US Champion!! |
|
May-13-13
 | | chessgames.com: We have the US Chess Championship (Playoff) (2013) games now. Congratulations to User: DarkNolan! |
