 |
| Nov-10-05 | | percyblakeney: Impressive performance by Russia in the last round, winning the last three games when they had to... |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Mameluk: Forget what I wrote, h5 must have been the decisive mistake. but Rh6-g6-g1-a1 is very annoying, for example black threatens a3, c4-a2 . So Moro knew what he was doing all the time |

 | | lostemperor: Congratulations to the Russian players. A great performance by them. But also by the Chinese players I must say. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Bobak Zahmat: Morozevich shows why he deserves to play in the next Worldchampionship cycle. Very impressive. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Akavall: Good job by the Russian team in final round! Were they the only ones to beat Chinese men worse than they beat Chinese women? |

 | | lostemperor: <saad> this is the official site http://www.wccisrael.com/pairing.asp It will be on this page also soon. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | notsodeepthought: Wow, high drama. Congratulations to the Russians, but also to the Chinese who made it interesting till the very end.
<Akavall: Were they the only ones to beat Chinese men worse than they beat Chinese women?> Good point, I believe that's true... |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Dionyseus: Congrats to the Russian team! |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Maroczy: No more trips for you! |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | erimiro1: A great victory to... Michael Botvinik! The man who created, almost alone, the greatest chess school ever, can look at us from up above, and smile to himself: true, the Soviet Union collapsed, and his vision as a communist, has failed, but take a look at the teams: most of the players are Botvinik's students or students of his students! Russian chess dominates the world, and especialy the former Soviet Union worst enemy, USA! Well done man, rest in peace! |

 | | Chnebelgrind: Bareev-Zhang  click for larger view Qxe6 1-0 |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Pawsome: With five wins and a draw, Evgeny Bareev played a big part in the Russian victory. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | iron maiden: Congratulations to the Russia, and hats off to America as well. Our plus score was good enough for fifth place, only a point behind Ukraine. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | SnoopDogg: I think the 3.5-0.5 score over the 2nd place demonstrates when Russia wants to play for wins they are still dominant. Maybe not as much in the past though. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | SnoopDogg: Has anyone noticed that Morozevich played 5/7 games with black and still won 4 black games? Despite most were 100 points lower than him. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Akavall: <SnoopDogg> This means Morozevich won 4 out of 7 games great! 4 wins with black, one draw with black and two draws with white, not bad at all. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Akavall: < With five wins and a draw, Evgeny Bareev played a big part in the Russian victory.> Indeed!! I completly over looked that! |
 |

 | | notyetagm: Wow, Bareev scored 5.5/6, going +5 =1 -0.
Anyone know what performance rating that is and how many rating points he will gain from it? This performance has to be in the ballpark of 2900. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Dionyseus: <notyetagm> His opponent's average rating was 2567. I'm getting 2630 as his rating performance, and 16 rating point increase, with FIDE's calculator. |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Dionyseus: The worst top board performer was Cuba's Lazaro Bruzon. Rated 2677, he only managed to score 1.5 out of 7. China Women's Zhao 2478 scored 1.5/7
Georgia's Azmaiparashvili 2658 scored 2.5/5
USA's Onischuk 2628 scored 3.5/7
Israel's Gelfand 2717 scored 3.5/7
Ukraine's Ivanchuk 2748 scored 4/7
China Men's Bu 2637 managed 5/8
Armenia's Aronian 2724 scored 5/8
Russia's Svidler 2740 scored 5/7 |
 |
| Nov-10-05 | | Akavall: < I'm getting 2630 as his rating performance, and 16 rating point increase, with FIDE's calculator.> The 2630 part, can't be right! If his performance rating was 2630, Bareev would be losing rating points, not gaining, since his rating is above 2630. |
