Nov-11-05    chessgames.com: We now have the rapid games which were the continuation of the two live games we covered on this site, found here: Norway Championship Playoff (2005) Congratulations to Simen Agdestein, the 2005 Norwegian Champion. Nov-14-05    cade: I wonder how many times Carlsen will win this tourney over his entire career. Nov-15-05    hecrmara: Is very interesting that Agdestein is actually, trainer of Magnus. Maybe he knows something the other players don´t!! Nov-15-05    MoonlitKnight: Poor Magnus. Last year he played 1-1 in the playoff against Østenstad and lost, since the rules stated that the player with the weakest tie breaks in the tournament would win in the event of a drawn playoff. This year he had better tie breaks than Agdestein, but the rules had been changed since last year, so his 1-1 result here in the playoff was not enough. Thus, he will never beat Agdestein's record of the youngest Norwegian champion ever. I'll bet he'll win next year, though. Nov-15-05    aszxcv: teacher schools pupil .btw man this kid in six years of learning chess is 2600+. how he do it study chess night and day? Nov-21-05    Onyingo: Carlsen will be hard to beat in two year's time...indeed I see a future world champion in this highly tactical player!
