 | | Domdaniel: Fiendishly clever, those Russians, talking in secret code. 'Spaseba' is an expression of thanks. Commonly used in the phrase "Spaseba, Masta" when a GM teaches you a lesson. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | Octavia: I heard Ivanchuk go over one of his games. He said: " *** he was better ***he was better *** he made a mistake & I won." Unfortunately I can't remember the actual words or even his opponent, but it was very funny. & yes, the Elo system is flawed ! Apparently, Mr. Elo warned about it already himself. Look at chessbase to see the follow up. |

 | | kingfu: spaseba is "thank you" in Russian. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | acirce: It's "spasibo" (спасибо) rather. |
|
Feb-06-11
| | kingfu: The Russians have a different letter for everything! Thanks, acirce.
I guess I need to go back to school! |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | Kinghunt: Does the prize for the best female player go to Melia, who had the most points, or to Nadezhda, who had the highest TPR? |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | Billy Vaughan: <Does the prize for the best female player go to Melia, who had the most points, or to Nadezhda, who had the highest TPR?> Nana Dzagnidze, who had both. |
|
| Feb-07-11 | | Bratek: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |
|
| Feb-11-11 | | jussu: спасибі. Not that I speak Ukrainian... |
|
| Feb-15-11 | | yoozum: It's spelled with an O but pronounced with an A, so "spaseba" would be about right. |
|
| Feb-15-11 | | acirce: <yoozum> It's spelled with an о so it's spelled with an o. It's not "Batvinnik", right? |
|
| Apr-10-11 | | M.D. Wilson: Pronounced Bortvannik
Korchnoi is Karchnoi |
|
| Apr-10-11 | | jussu: <Pronounced Bortvannik > What the heck? |
|
| Apr-12-11 | | M.D. Wilson: Yes, Bought or Bort, not Bot |
|
| Apr-14-11 | | jussu: No. The second letter o in Botvinnik is to be pronounced very much like a in 'car', but it must very short. By the way, Wikipedia articles often contain prounounciation; so does this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhai... |
|
| Apr-24-11 | | M.D. Wilson: You're wrong. My Russian friend says you're wrong. He'd know. |
|
Apr-24-11
 | | alexmagnus: Well, it is kind of a very short short, reduced "a". Reduced, that is. If you simply say "Btvinnik" (with an explosive B, so that some kind of noise between B and T comes) you come closer to the true pronounciation than by either "Bo(r)tvinnik" or "Batvinnik". |
|
Apr-24-11
 | | perfidious: <acirce: <yoozum> It's spelled with an î so it's spelled with an o. It's not "Batvinnik", right?> Another one is Boris Gulko, which is pronounced Bah-REES Gul-KO. Korchnoi is indeed Karch-NOI. |
|
Apr-24-11
 | | Eric Schiller: It is quite simple. In Russian /o/ in unstressed position is pronounced /a/ or even reduced to schwa, just part of phonology. |
|
| May-05-11 | | 14DogKnight: just trying out my new avatar |
|
Dec-14-17
 | | offramp: <May-05-11 14DogKnight: just trying out my new avatar> Did it work? |
|
| Dec-14-17 | | schweigzwang: Show some patience, man. |
|
| May-28-19 | | jith1207: How much more should one show? |
|
Aug-14-21
 | | Tabanus: The one missing game is Gawain Jones vs Louis Sanchez 1/2 in rd. 4, which for some reason has the same game score as R S Jones vs R Soffer, 2011. Two long games were not scored by Chess-Results (affecting the standings): N Pogonina vs A Oberhofer, 2011 1-0 and D Brown vs D Collier, 2011 1/2. |
|
| Nov-28-23 | | popnstart: Chucky had Shorty's number in all time controls! WOW! |
