Jun-13-08 | | dumbgai: <shr0pshire> It's true that Bu had a disappointing M-Tel and a poor start to this tournament, but he just had a couple of nice wins against Adams and Morozevich! He's back up to an even score for this tournament. |
|
Jun-14-08 | | arsen387: Yeah yesterday was clearly not Moro's day. 2 draws and 2 losses out of 4 games. While Bu to the contrary was +2 that day. And Leko is pretty impressive and is currently the leader deservedly. |

Jun-15-08 | | micartouse: A bittersweet victory I imagine for the always impressive Aronian. It looks like he went undefeated in 14 rounds! |

 | | keypusher: <cannibal> <Leko showed nerves (as usual) in the final round, scoring -1 =1 against Moro.> Well, maybe. But as Keres said about Botvinnik, anyone can lose to Morozevich, he is a very strong player. Kudos to the Armenian chess federation for renaming this tournament in Karen Asrian's honor. |
|
Jun-15-08 | | acirce: Yes, but losing with White in less than 30 moves isn't anything Lékó often does. Especially as he had no losses before today. |
|
Jun-15-08 | | researchj: therefore he is no Giant. Neither is any of the others. |
|
Jun-15-08 | | zluria: Nice comeback by Gelfand! |
|
Jun-15-08 | | hedgeh0g: Am I the only one who finds the high percentage of draws among Armenian players in this tournament a little suspect? |
|
Jun-15-08 | | DUS: I don't think there are too many psycho users here. |
|
Jun-15-08 | | square dance: yes, there is probably the correct amount. |
|
Jun-16-08 | | fictionist: <hedgeh0g: Am I the only one who finds the high percentage of draws among Armenian players in this tournament a little suspect?> An Armenian won this tournament. Now, that's suspect! |
|
Jun-16-08 | | acirce: The Armenians have fixed world chess. |
|
Jun-16-08 | | Nikita Smirnov: Nice result by Aronian.5 wins and 11 draws.Hmm...
Something looks really strange in the chessworld... |
|
Jun-16-08 | | Nikita Smirnov: Oh sorry.3 Wins. |

Unfortunately Chessgames.com's Tournament standings is not true that's because Morozevich finished at 3rd place and he took $40,000 |

Jun-16-08 | | notyetagm: <acirce: The Armenians have fixed world chess.> Yes, it's all the fault of their new manager, Danailovian. :-) |

what you mean? |
|
Jun-16-08 | | PinkPanther: <hedgeh0g>
Make of it what you will, but it's fairly obvious that the Armenian players didn't try against each other in this tournament. |
|
Jun-21-08 | | Nikita Smirnov: <notyetagm> that was a nice one.Danailovian.hehe |
