 | | cu8sfan: I see and hear this all the time...
Thank God Sweden is a neutral country, too. If Americans mistook Switzerland for some other countries I'd live in constant fear of being attacked... |
|
| Sep-23-04 | | MoonlitKnight: Well, it's not as bad as when people think Norway is the capitol of Sweden. |
|
| Sep-23-04 | | simsan: The Swedes and Swiss shouldn't feel too safe. Din't I just read in the newspaper that Saddam was hoping for asylum in Sweden? If so, I guess Dubya wouldn't hesitate to drop some MOABs over Gamla stan :-) |
|
| Sep-23-04 | | poktirity: Hmpf Norway isn't worthy of being anyway near Swedens capital =) |
|
| Sep-23-04 | | Giancarlo: What happened to Carlsen? I was always under the impression he would win this. |
|

| | acirce: <Giancarlo> How come? He was only rated 5th, which is where he ended up. |
|
| Sep-23-04 | | Giancarlo: <Acrice>
well, I thought he'd really put in a surprising preformance is what i really mean. I was hoping for a 3 and up finish from him. But your right, it isn't dissapointing at all, I just thought he'd do beter then 5th thats all. |

| Sep-23-04 | | Hidden Skillz: <acirce Americans...;-)>..lol very true |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | ForeverYoung: Time for Alexandra to rebound in her next competition. Only half a point from six games. |

| | acirce: <MoonlitKnight>, <simsan>, have you read the Chessbase piece on the event? http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
<Many eyes were on the youngest participants, particularly 13-year-old Magnus Carlsen of Sweden.> |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | percyblakeney: Isn't he Swiss? :) |
|
| Sep-27-04 | | percyblakeney: Lots of Lausanne photos from Kosteniuk's website: http://www.memoconsult.com/albums/y... |
|
| Sep-27-04 | | simsan: <acirce> lol: Sweden really is getting a lot of inaccurate attention in connection with this event. Right now I'm too focused on the Leko-Kramnik match in Brissago, Sweden to have time to write complaints to Chessbase :-) |
|
Sep-27-04
| | acirce: Yeah, there are lots of things going on. I can't wait for next year's European Team Championship in Switzerland! |
|
| Sep-28-04 | | poktirity: I think Sweden should buy Magnus like Qatar bought that runner from Kenya. |
|
