 | | suenteus po 147: Kamsky loses against Eljanov. Where did he go wrong?! |
|
| Jul-28-07 | | pacelli: Ivanchuk is at the peak of his game this year. It's the best I've seen him play since 1991 & 2001. Pity he won't be at Mexico City. |
|
| Jul-28-07 | | maarnold: He's done it! Chalk up another tournament victory for Ivanchuk this year. |

| | notyetagm: Chucky now <2786(!)> rated! Woohoo!
|
|
Jul-28-07
 | | keypusher: <Meanwhile, Short goes for a Kings Gambit vs Bluvshtein!> That didn't work out too well... |
|
Jul-28-07
 | | Tomlinsky: <That didn't work out too well...> Entertaining game though to be fair. |
|
| Jul-28-07 | | chessmoron: <NIGEL SHORT> A whooping -30 ELO points. |
|
| Jul-29-07 | | anandr: Hari should take around 8 ELO ratings from his performance here. Would have been good had he drawn against Chucky - could have shared the 2nd spot. Good performance, nevertheless! |
|
| Jul-29-07 | | percyblakeney: Very impressive by Ivanchuk, +5 and a 2850+ performance. #2 on the rating list now, and if Anand doesn't play well in Mexico Ivanchuk may reach #1. |
|
Jul-29-07
 | | Eyal: Summary comments by Mig Greengard on Short's and Ivanchuk's performances: <Short eventually lost a wonderfully romantic game against Bluvshtein, and at 2/9 may head back to the dentist for some happy gas.> <At this pace [Ivanchuk] is going to make the next rating list an interesting one. But keeping up a great pace has always been his problem. That and he hasn't been running up these numbers against top-10 players, much like how Morozevich would jump up to #4 and then flatline at Corus. Still, it's sad to see him not in Mexico City (he failed to qualify for the candidates in '05). Maybe the winner of the World Cup should play Ivanchuk.> |
|
| Jul-29-07 | | PaulKeres: <NIGEL SHORT> A whooping -30 ELO points. I'm surprised it's not more actually! |

| Jul-29-07 | | PaulKeres: <Eyal>, sorry, who's Mig Greengard ?
Thanks |

|
| Jul-29-07 | | PaulKeres: <Mig Greengard> doesn't seem to have a FIDE card, searching on FIDE online(http://www.fide.com/ratings/). Has not played for ages? or what's that about? |

 | | WannaBe: I see that Ivanchuk finished with 7/9, maybe he will be in the next Star Trek. |
|
Jul-29-07
| | notyetagm: <WannaBe: I see that Ivanchuk finished with 7/9, maybe he will be in the next Star Trek.> And after drawing his first two games (jetlag?), Ivanchuk went a blistering 6/7 (<+5 =2 -0!>) in the last seven rounds. |
|
| Jul-29-07 | | Aspirador: <I see that Ivanchuk finished with 7/9, maybe he will be in the next Star Trek.> After this stellar performance, why settle for anything less than Oprah? |
|
| Jul-29-07 | | pawnofdoom: nice comeback for Sutovsky, getting a 50% score after starting 0/3 |
|
Jul-29-07
| | notyetagm: <pawnofdoom: nice comeback for Sutovsky, getting a 50% score after starting 0/3> Yes, both Short and Sutovsky started out in the toilet (0-3) but Sutovsky managed to climb out while Nigel got flushed. |
|
| Jul-30-07 | | PaulKeres: <Tomlinsky>, thanks for the Greengard USCF link. |
|
| Jul-30-07 | | Karpova: <PaulKeres: Has not played for ages? or what's that about?> Here's Mig's own explanation (written in 2004):
<As for OTB rating, I haven't played seriously over the board since I had time in Argentina back in 1997. At the time I had an Argentine rating of 2310 and judging from those around me who also had FIDE ratings it was roughly equivalent. When I finally did play after moving to the USA, in the Amateur Team East in 2003, my Argentine rating was confirmed by the tournament director and I was given a provisional 2300 USCF rating for the event. (Not that I thought I would necessarily perform at that level after so many years away from the board, as was shown quite clearly in my terrible play and time trouble in the 2003 World Open later that year!) And while online ratings are built of foam, I maintain 2400-2500 ratings on the ICC and Playchess.com and acquit myself decently against titled players of all stripes in blitz.>

just because it's quite funny (also involving a well-known kibitzer on <cg.com>) |
