 |
Mar-16-06 | | Xaurus: m-buch factor. |
 |
Mar-16-06 | | yalie: does anybody know about a blitz tournament at the end of the main tournament? apparently Anand played in it |
 |

 | | tamar: <yalie> It is being discussed at Magnus Carlsen |

 | | PhilFeeley: Anyone see Fischer there? |
 |

 | | Robin01: He is probably playing in a disguise and using an alias!;) |
 |
Mar-17-06 | | percyblakeney: Quite a good result by Christin Andersson (2170), finishing even with the 460 ELO points higher rated Timman (5/9). |
 |
Mar-17-06 | | NJT: Shakhriyar Mamedyarov is the best player of the tournament! I'm sure that he gonna win! |

 | | ahmadov: <PhilFeeley: Anyone see Fischer there?> I heard that Fischer was the honoured guest of the tournament. |
 |

 | | ahmadov: <NJT: Shakhriyar Mamedyarov is the best player of the tournament! I'm sure that he gonna win!> Well, but he has not. I think he was just very confident which caused him to lose to a very lower rated player in round 2. |

 | | PhilFeeley: Any ideas why the games are not available from the tournament website for download? And what about the blitz games? Were they recorded? |
 |
Mar-19-06
 | | ahmadov: <PhilFeeley> But there were no blitz games, were there? |
 |

 | | Joshka: <amahdov> <heard that Fischer was the honored guest of the tournament> Are you joking or did someone who was there convey this? Bobby's comments about Carlsen a year or so ago would lead me to believe he might have wanted to meet him. Would have to believe some of the participants had a chance to visit with him. |
 |
Apr-01-06 | | talisman: <Joshka> what did fischer say about carlsen? |
 |
Apr-01-06
 | | Joshka: <talisman> Had read somewhere that Bobby stated that "Carlsen is better than I was at this age" or something like that. |
 |
Apr-01-06 | | like a GM: < Joshka: <talisman> Had read somewhere that Bobby stated that "Carlsen is better than I was at this age" or something like that.> I think it was Calrsen's trainer who said that. |
 |
Apr-01-06 | | sapfy: I don't think neither Fischer nor Agdestein has made such a comment. Kasparov on the other hand said exactly that about Bacrot back when he became the youngest GM in the world. |
 |
Apr-01-06
 | | ahmadov: <Joshka> I was not joking about Fischer's presence at the tournament. I think I had read about that somewhere. |
 |
Apr-01-06
 | | technical draw: Bobby Fischer played a game in the Reykjavik open disguised as Magnus Carlsen and lost to Persson! |
