< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 5 OF 5 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-29-07    Karpova: Gunina-Pogonina 1-0 Dec-29-07    Harvestman: Now both Korbut and Tairova are down a pawn. This is a tough day for the leaders. Dec-29-07    Harvestman: Korbut holds the draw, but Tairova loses, so it is all wide open for the last round. Dec-29-07    Scarecrow: Korbut escaped with a draw but Tairova lost. This leaves both at 7/10 before the last round. Dec-29-07    Karpova: Tairova - Kovalevskaya 0-1 Matveeva - Korbut 1/2 Gunina - Pogonina 1-0 T. Kosintseva - Shadrina 1-0 N. Kosintseva - Stepovaya 1/2 Ovod - Girya 1-0 1. Tairova 7.0 Korbut 7.0 3. Pogonina 6.0 Ovod 6.0 T. Kosintseva 6.0 6. N. Kosintseva 5.5 7. Matveeva 5.0 Shadrina 5.0 9. Stepovaya 4.0 10. Girya 3.0 Kovalevskaya 3.0 12. Gunina 2.5 Dec-29-07    ChessNe1: what are the final round match-ups? Dec-29-07    popski: Wow, great game by Tatiana Kosintseva today! Really brave play! Dec-29-07    adair10: <ChessNe1: what are the final round match-ups?> Tairova-Stepovaya Korbut-Ovod Not sure of colors Dec-29-07    minasina: NOTE: The last Round #11 (Dec-30-07) will start 3 hours earlier! and it starts at 9 AM GMT or at midday Moscow time (GMT +3) or 4 AM EST (GMT -5). Games 'live' will be presented here: http://russiachess.org/online/ . See LIVE commentary links (for men's tournament) at my profile page: User: minasina Dec-29-07    whiteshark: That's quite unacceptable. It's in the middle of the night! Dec-30-07    malthrope: Oh goodie! Mal doesn't have to take a short nap before the games start this morning! ~lol~ :^) Dec-30-07    TheBB: Looks good for Korbut ... Tairova is being eaten alive. Dec-30-07    TheBB: Wait. Scratch that. Korbut is also being eaten alive. Dec-30-07    Scarecrow: Any idea about tiebreaks? If Tairova loses, Tairova, Korbut, T. Kosintseva and Ovod will all finish on 7/11... Dec-30-07    Peligroso Patzer: Tairova has resigned, so <Scarecrow>'s question re: tiebreaks is no longer hypothetical. The final standings have a four-way tie for first at 7.0/11. Dec-30-07    Scarecrow: Only Tairova has six wins, that may count. I cannot go into the trouble to calculate head-to-head scores or S-B now... last year I think there was a rapid tiebreak in the men's section between Alekseev and Jakovenko with no regard to such scores... Dec-30-07    Harvestman: Ooo, a four-way tie! And I missed it, because I forgot the round was starting early. :-( Turns out it was an expensive phone call for Korbut in round 2. Dec-30-07    Peligroso Patzer: <Harvestman: *** Turns out it was an expensive phone call for Korbut in round 2.> How very true, and how sad for her. Even so, she could have taken clear first if she had been able to manage a draw with White today. Dec-30-07    DCP23: Unconfirmed, but most probably it will look that way (one of the participants said so): 1. T.Kosintseva 2. E.Tairova 3. E.Ovod Dec-30-07    Scarecrow: I would be happy with that (have been rooting for Tatiana K.) Dec-30-07    Scarecrow: Well, Sonneborn-Berger scores seem to support that... T Kosintseva 39,25 Tairova 37,75 Ovod 35,75 Korbut 33,5 Dec-30-07    malthrope: Oh thanks gang! ;) I was wondering if the tiebreak system would cover it without having a complex 4-way playoff... Well, they all deserved to win really, but I'm very glad it was WGM/IM Tatinia Kosintseva! :)) Dec-30-07    Annie K.: Me too. And just yesterday I thought she had no chance to win whatsoever... that girl is LUCKY! BTW, Mal, it's "Tatiana" (or "Tatyana"), not "Tatinia". Just saying because you called her that twice that I saw. ;) If that's too long, the usual nickname form of her name is Tania or Tanya. :) Dec-30-07    malthrope: <Annie <BTW, Mal, it's "Tatiana" (or "Tatyana"), not "Tatinia". Just saying because you called her that twice that I saw. ;) If that's too long, the usual nickname form of her name is Tania or Tanya. :)>> Yeah Annie - I just mispelled it. :-( I've just corrected it in the <ChessBookie> post just made and now also on my User Profile <<<Current Chess Events>>>... ;) May-18-08    flhoosier: isn't either of the kosintseva sisters playing any matches in 2008?
