| Jan-25-08 | | Mameluk: But very nice escape in the end. Nepo´s blunder was 52. Qd2, allowing h4, while 52. h4 gave good winning chances. However for a long time Sergei had winning position with no counterplay for Nepo. Still he leads by a half point, but Short-Bacrot will not be a safely played game. |
|
| Jan-25-08 | | cade: Wow, 5 black wins in round 11. Don't see that too often. |
|

 | | whiteshark: <cade> But you wouldn't call it a <black day>, would you ? |
|
| Jan-25-08 | | Illogic: Short + Bacrot now just half a point behind Movsesian. But good news for Movsesian, they have to play each other! |
|
| Jan-25-08 | | geezerbloke: < Illogic: > not sure thats a good thing for bacrot though, i have been watching nigels games here and he seems completely revitalised. He is playing to his stregnths, avoiding long bookish openings and then some really amazing tactical plays from seemingly quiet positions, he must be infuriating to play against in this vein. How does one play for a draw when the opponent doesnt seem to care if he wins or loses? |
|
| Jan-25-08 | | jonnymalk: Hou Yifan - Ivan Cheparinov
A Sicilian Najdorf most likely Lol |
|
| Jan-26-08 | | Mameluk: <Illogic> Is it good news for Movsesian? OK, it means he will be at least second, but this is not a goal in this tournament I am afraid. |
|
| Jan-26-08 | | Davolni: <Mameluk> Don't worry, Movsesian already won the Corus B Group!!! I am 99% sure we will see him in Corus A next year, but I don't know if he is ready yet... :) |
|
| Jan-26-08 | | laserlight: You know, I think Hou Yifan threw away a win against Cheparinov, and in doing so, a 12 game GM norm. That said, if my calculations are correct, she still has another chance at a GM norm - by defeating Krasenkow tomorrow. |
|
| Jan-26-08 | | VishyFan: Hari needs to do something about his poor conversion of advantages into wins... He drew another one today... |
|
| Jan-27-08 | | VishyFan: I think Hari arrived late into the tournament hall..., for the first 10 mins, the only move was 1. d4 |
|
| Jan-27-08 | | Mameluk: Congratulations to Sergei Movsesian, deserving winner of the B group with 9.5/13, in his 29 years he was nearly a veteran in B tournament. |
|
| Jan-27-08 | | slomarko: we should be sorry for Movsesian next year he's gonna get crushed in A group. |
|
| Jan-27-08 | | KamikazeAttack: <ongyj: Not that I love him, but in a sense he's successful in bringing media attention to his players, and maybe, to the chess community in general. If that(capturing media attention) was his intention, or the intention of his employer(s), isn't that anything but "successful"?> <So I can't correctly say if he's a good manager at this point of time, but definitely one that can capture media attention very well.
>
Media attention???
Is this what counts? The yardstick for success?
Oh Charles Manson did capture media attention alright. He was successful I guess.
He was therefore good for society.
|
|
| Jan-27-08 | | KamikazeAttack: <checkerooni: He brings players under his management into the slime-light.> Lol. |
|
| Jan-28-08 | | ajit: <<Unfortunately, the latter showed a total disregard for the interests of her colleagues or the tournament, and calmly halved out with the white pieces, in barely an hour. This handed Movsesian first place on a plate, and left Bacrot and Short high and dry>>
Ohh..like it never happened before, the tournament leader happy to just draw.. <<although Short at least had a small edge from the opening and could have tried for more, had there been any incentive>> So all the blame is on Humpy for a 'disastrous end' to group B. I think CHESSBASE needs to get its tongue out of SHORT's.. |

| Feb-01-08 | | Phoenix: <"On Sunday January 20th, 2008 we were confronted with an unpleasant situation when a participant refused to shake hands with his opponent. Such actions are a rude offense to the opponent, to the organizing committee as well as to the sponsor. Settling scores between players and/or managers should not take place during a private tournament like the Corus Chess Tournament."> from http://www.coruschess.com/article.p... Looks like someone from this group isn't coming back next year. |
|
| Feb-01-08 | | wallytherhino: "Short +15.0"
it is good to see short playing some tournaments. I think short can qualify for group A in 2010. I think short might win Corus Group B 2009 and then play in Corus Group A 2010. |
