You are right! Life as a predictor is much easier when Judit Polgar participates. It's only a matter of checking which colour she plays with so I get it right with 1-0 or 0-1. One has to be patient and look for great times in San Luis, Argentina. JPWISLA Ariel Jul-11-05    cromat: Round 4: van Wely-Svidler 1/2 Topalov-Nielsen 1-0 Sutovsky-Bacrot 1/2 Leko-Kramnik 1/2 Adams-Naiditsch 1-0 Jul-11-05    crumpy: <farrooj> On Page 4 I said that Kramnik would win the tournament. After a poor start, he defeted Topalov. All the way Kranmik Jul-11-05    crumpy: Round 4 Predictions van Wely-Svidler 0-1 Topalov-Nielsen 1/2-1/2 Sutovsky-Bacrot 1/2-1/2 Leko-Kramnik 0-1 Adams-Naiditsch 1-0 Jul-11-05    VishyFan: <cu8sfan> My predictions for today's games........ <round 4> L. van Wely - P.

Naiditsch 0-1 Jul-11-05    cu8sfan: <EinZweiDrei: Out of curiosity, was I the only one who called 1-0 on Naiditsch-Leko today?> Yes, you were. <JPWISLA> Judit Polgar Wins In San Luis, Argentina? Jul-11-05    Troewa: Round 4: van Wely-Svidler 1/2 Topalov-Nielsen 1-0 Sutovsky-Bacrot 1-0 Leko-Kramnik 1-0 Adams-Naiditsch 1/2 Jul-11-05    arielbekarov: <cu8sfan> Sehr Gut! Well, I'm not so surprised that you've decodified my closing JPWISLA. When I among other things was working with children in kindergartens, I've learned in a seminar once that it is very important for children to play (play=work) on uneven grounds. This seems to develop the capacity of the brain. Anyone heard of this? Nevertheless, my conclusion is that <cu8sfan> must have been running the Swiss Alps up and down as a child quite a lot! Or down and up? Ariel Jul-11-05    thunderstorm witch: Round 4: van Wely - Svidler 1/2 Topalov - Nielsen 1-0 Sutovsky - Bacrot 1/2 Leko-Kramnik 1/2 Adams-Naiditsch 1-0 Jul-11-05    lostemperor: Bac. Just seeing yesterday's results. You can say a bit surprising, but not too much. This is sport! I have to see how the games have gone though.

Gg from Naiditsch. Jul-11-05    Ingolf: round 4 Loek van Wely - Peter Svidler ½-½ Veselin Topalov - Peter H.

WMD predicting it is. <cu8sfan: .. I think I'll be the first to go 5-5!> some surprising predictions. I really hope so!

Leko will play 1.d4. Jul-11-05    Where is my mind: <That van Wely beat Adams is no surprise.>Ok thanks,< lostemperor >. i guess i paid to much attention to Adams record with the white pieces and his overall record against van Wely and overlooked Van Wely vs Adams, 2004 Jul-11-05    cu8sfan: <priluki> Sorry mate, this is not a bazar. According to my rules for the prediction contest I will count your last prediction which is: Van Wely - Svidler 0-1 Topalov - Nielsen 1-0 Sutovsky - Barcot 1/2 Leko - Kramnik 1/2 Adams - Naiditsch 1-0 Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 98) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 32 OF 98 ·  Later Kibitzing> NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
