| Jul-06-06 | | jperr75108: The time controls were different the usual time control was 40/120 G/60 but the 3 day and 4 day had shorter time controls at the beginning of the tournament. I played two games of G/75. That was the four day. I think the three day had 3 or 4 games at G/60. |

 | | WannaBe: <southpawjinx> nice exchange to win a pawn on moves 8/9, trading a knight for a rook is always good. And then your opponent allowed you to grab all the Q-side pawns! But, you already have 2R + B vs. his R + N + B. Good game!!! =)
(By the way, how come you went from U14 HB Global to U12??) |
|
Jul-07-06
| | WannaBe: <southpawjinx> Nevermind, I did not know that HB did not have a U12 section. Just looked it up. =) |
|
| Jul-07-06 | | s4life: Was there a women's section? |
|
Jul-07-06
| | WannaBe: <s4life> No, everyone plays together. |
|
| Jul-07-06 | | jperr75108: Heres a game I played in the U1800 in the second round. Got a little lucky. It was a good tournament, although I messed up a few good positions. (Ill save myself embarassment and post one of my better more interesting ones) [Event "World Open"]

| Jul-08-06 | | Atking: I note that the 2 best players of the world of Shogi (Mr Habu and Mr Moriuchi) were playing the World Open ! I think it is the first time that these champions plaid the same open. They plaid quite well indeed. |
|
| Jul-08-06 | | Dionyseus: <Atking> Indeed. Mr. Habu finished 38th, only a point behind the winner. Mr. Moriuchi finished 88, two points behind the winner. |
|
| Jul-08-06 | | Knight13: This guy's killing: http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlTn.... Very likely he's gonna be number 1 on top list! |
|
| Jul-09-06 | | chess champion 8: Did Topalov or Magnus Carlsen play in this tournament? |
|
| Jul-10-06 | | southpawjinx: <chess champion 8> Neither of them played in this tournament. |
|
| Jul-10-06 | | jperr75108: Habu also made an IM norm. |
|
| Jul-15-06 | | rustamrocks: Great performance by Kamsky. After M-Tel and Turin Olympiad, he continues to amaze the chess world. |
|
| Jul-18-06 | | rjsolcruz: IM Sevillano has bested at least 15 GMs in this big event. I hope he can be with the RP Team in the next Olympiad. |
|
| Mar-19-07 | | geraldo8187: is anybody from the chessgames community planning to attend the 35th world open in july? i will be playing in the U1600 section. |
|
| Mar-21-07 | | geraldo8187: actually, depending on how many tournaments i play in before july, i could very well be in the U1400 section, however doubtful, or quite possibly the U1800 section. |
|
| Jun-22-07 | | Bob726: <Geraldo8187> Hey, i'll be there in the U1600 section. I'll see you there if you go to the U1600 section. |
|
| Jun-22-07 | | AVA: ill be in U2000 or U2200 section |
