< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 16 OF 16 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-22-07    tarlan13: Congratulations to all Azeris. B tournament was won by Vasif Durarbeyli. Ona urekden tebrik edirem. Feb-22-07    Plato: Jakovenko wins Aeroflot. I called this one from the start :) My Linares predictions, by contrast, don't seem to be turning out too well (unless Leko starts winning and Carlsen starts losing). Feb-22-07    ahmadov: <tarlan13> "ona", yoxsa "onu" ;) Feb-22-07    percyblakeney: Tomashevsky-Jakovenko was drawn in 14 moves. Feb-22-07    percyblakeney: ...so regardless of tiebreaks Alekseev has the chance to secure a Dortmund ticket if he can beat Sargissian. Feb-22-07    ahmadov: Eltaj Safarli wins Tigran Petrosian with one move: e4... Feb-22-07    gmgomes: Aleksev x Sargissian: after move 31, engines evaluates Aleksev with comfortable 2 pawns up, but both players are in time trouble - letīs see how they will get up to move 40. Feb-22-07    percyblakeney: Looks like Alekseev is going to Dortmund. Feb-22-07    gmgomes: Sargissian had better resign now. Feb-22-07    percyblakeney: ...and so he did. Feb-22-07    percyblakeney: Berg finished without draws after 4 wins and 5 losses. Feb-22-07    Strongest Force: Tigran Petrosian overslept? Maybe he was playing blitz somewhere & forgot? :-D Feb-22-07    angslo: Alekseev won Feb-22-07    Raskolnikov: Ni Hua won nicely against Minasian in Advanced Caro-Cann. Feb-22-07    stanleys: Conratulations to Alekseev! Another great win after the title of Russian champion Feb-22-07    Raskolnikov: There are some really good games in the last round: e.g. Volkov-Balogh, Almasi-Sadvakasov etc. Feb-22-07    doremi: WFM Hou won against (male) GM Kotronias! God bless everybody but especially Hou and doremi too Feb-22-07    PhilFeeley: <Plato: Jakovenko wins Aeroflot. I called this one from the start :)> A little early with the results? Alekseev won. Feb-22-07    Plato: <PhilFeeley> My mistake! For some reason I thought yestereday's round was the last one, and Jakovenko had the best tiebreaks. Feb-23-07    tarlan13: E.Safarli - T.Petrosian 1.e4 1-0 A great win. Feb-23-07    samik: Why you are so exited,Tarlan00 ? Feb-23-07    PhilFeeley: <Plato> An easy mistake to make. The last round shows how "GM draws" work against you if you want to win a tournament. Alekseev earned the win. Feb-23-07    Mameluk: Alekseev, Jakovenko, Tomashevsky and their latest results call for dismantling the ceiling of the toilet. Feb-23-07    Plato: <PhilFeeley> He certainly did. Congratulations to Alekseev. The talent pool of young players these days is enormous. Feb-24-07    Mameluk: http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt... See the discussion here. Perhaps somebody already started dismantling the ceiling. Chess starts to remind cycling, delaying the transmission should be duty very quickly.
