Oct-14-07    Chessgames Bookie: Official site: http://www.essentchess.nl/info_eng.... <ChessBookie Players> Late-betting is now open for this event - Essent Chess Open: Winner Oct-16-07    ahmadov: A bit surprising that people do not post their comments on this page... Oct-16-07    Karpova: Great performance by Turkan Mamedyarova so far (she played against higher rated players only but scored +3 =0 -1) Oct-16-07    Harvestman: Have a look at the finish to the game between Tiger Hillarp Persson and IM Herman Grooten when it appears in the game list - a spectacular sacrificial finish. White resigns when ahead in material by 2 rooks and a bishop to 3 pawns, but it is mate in 3. I haven't analysed it to see if white could have done better. Oct-16-07    joebuck: Yes, fantastic finish by Grooten! Also check out the win by Postny vs Werle. What a fine game! Oct-16-07    Harvestman: Thanks for that <Joebuck>. Pretty finish. I didn't see it coming at all. Oct-19-07    Chnebelgrind: 15 years old Eltaj Safarli joins up the lead! Oct-19-07    notyetagm: <Chnebelgrind: 15 years old Eltaj Safarli joins up the lead!> Excellent news. I am a fan of Safarli. Everyone here knows that I am both an honorary Azeri and Chinese. :-) Oct-20-07    ahmadov: <Everyone here knows that I am both an honorary Azeri and Chinese. :-)> Actually, I knew that you were an Azeri... You being a Chinese is surprising news for me :-) Oct-20-07    ahmadov: I hope Safarli will win the tournament... To achieve this he has overcome the biggest challenge - to win L'Ami with Black... Oct-20-07    ahmadov: Another leaders Gofstein and Postny agreed a draw... Oct-20-07    notyetagm: <ahmadov: <Everyone here knows that I am both an honorary Azeri and Chinese. :-)> Actually, I knew that you were an Azeri... You being a Chinese is surprising news for me :-)> Come on, how many times have I posted: Go China! :-) Oct-20-07    Alphastar: Safarli beat l'Ami in the last round and wins the tournament! This game won the beauty prize: T Mamedjarova vs F Erwich, 2007 Oct-21-07    notyetagm: <Alphastar: Safarli beat l'Ami in the last round and wins the tournament! This game won the beauty prize: T Mamedjarova vs F Erwich, 2007> Wow, congratulations to Azerbaijan: Mamedyarov wins the Essent Crown group and Safarli wins the Essent Open.
