< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 12 OF 12 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-25-09    Mulyahnto: <Pashikian-Bacrot after 58...Rd8: > Those black pawns are connected, which makes it easier for black to win. I think the white d pawn is a goner. Feb-25-09    Mulyahnto: I think Bacrot's got this one in the bag... Feb-25-09    Mulyahnto: So, Bacrot wins the tournament Feb-25-09    timhortons: The game is still on but basing on the kibitz at icc i think bacroot is winning. He already got invitation for dortmund before these. Just to bad moiseenkoo was beatin to tie break, i really wish him to win, the guy needs a break to high level tourney. Feb-25-09    timhortons: its official, bacroot win. Feb-25-09    Mulyahnto: <The game is still on but basing on the kibitz at icc i think bacroot is winning.> The official site had the score almost 10 minutes before ICC did. Feb-25-09    sisyphus: IM Pavel Ponkratov lost his last-round game to Nepomniachtchi, missing a GM norm. IM Ray Robson lost his last three games, but still outperformed the ELO expectation; good experience. Feb-25-09    sisyphus: In A2, GM Melikset Khatchiyan places second on tiebreak. Among the untitled Chinese juniors, Yu Yangyi and Lou Yiping, get IM norms; Ju Wenjun gets a WGM and an IM norm.

Thanks Feb-26-09    timhortons: <notyetagm> frank001: karjakin win These is what frank001 a helper at icc told me. The tournament is over.

Feb-26-09    notyetagm: <timhortons: <notyetagm> frank001: karjakin win> Karjakin rolling along these days. Feb-26-09    notyetagm: <Russsian Chess Federation 2009-02-26/2009-02-26 <<<Rate of play G-3'+2">>> Arbiter: IA Andrzej Filipowicz> TC for the blitz tourney. Feb-26-09    notyetagm: Anyone know if the TC <G-3'+2"> is a 2-second delay or a 2-second increment? Thanks Feb-26-09    laskersteinitz: FIDE uses increments; time-delay is an American invention. Feb-27-09    notyetagm: <laskersteinitz: FIDE uses increments; time-delay is an American invention.> Thanks. Did not know that. Feb-28-09    chessmoron: Can somebody have a PGN for Zhou, Jianchao-Sergey Karjakin 1-0? Feb-28-09    volvak: Zhou - Karjakin was 0.5-1.5 http://www.aeroflotchess.com/blitz/... Mar-01-09    laserlight: <laskersteinitz: FIDE uses increments; time-delay is an American invention.> I had the impression that the time delay control was attributed to Bronstein. Mar-01-09    WhiteRook48: Bacrot at the top! Mar-02-09    laskersteinitz: <laserlight> Ah, you're right. I got confused. I thought Fischer had invented time delay and Bronstein increments, but it's the other way around! Delay is used in the US, whereas increment is more common in Europe.
