Jun-19-07    Timex: Congrats to Nakamura!! For a stunning 5.5/6!!! Jun-19-07    pacelli: I think Korchnoi was the 'real' winner:-) look at his score! Jun-19-07    THE pawn: Yeah, but look at his opponents' ratings. Jun-20-07    WannaBe: Especially in the last round, where Korchnoi 'played' Serper: Serper vs Korchnoi, 2007 =) Jun-20-07    Resignation Trap: Some players were exhausted as early as round three: B Finegold vs D Sharavdorj, 2007 . Jun-20-07    dabearsrock1010: was there some sort of no draw rule in effect, loking at the first 25 games all but 1 was decisive... Jun-20-07    wanabe2000: With the Krush victory over Shabalov, and scoring 4 1/2-1 1/2, does this qualify as a GM norm? Does that even apply in this tournament? Jun-20-07    whiskeyrebel: evidently it doesn't count in a tournament this short... Jun-20-07    WannaBe: Ms. Krush won $739.50 http://www.lvchessfestival.com/resu... Which may (not) have covered her total expenses... Jun-21-07    Ashram64: finally.. cg has posted these games! Jun-22-07    NimzoKing: <Which may (not) have covered her total expenses...> GM's get paid to enter tournaments - all her expenses will already be paid for her, with a little bonus. The money she won is just all profit so to say Jun-28-07    Timex: <THE pawn> You are correct, but Korchnoi drew with E Gurbanzade, who is rated 2166! If he won that game, he would have one the toruanemtn. Jun-28-07    whiskeyrebel: Timex, technically if he had won that game he would have been paired differently. Not that I don't have confidence in Mr. Korchnoi..he simply would have faced different opponents.
