Aug-28-08    Valmy: <chessgames> Thank you... Aug-28-08    SetNoEscapeOn: It was too simple for Etienne! Fressinet was not able to mount a serious challenge. Aug-28-08    Simonkaser: I was there few days ago... Aug-28-08    Jason Frost: <SetNoEscapeOn> Not sure how it was too simple for Bacrot as it went in to tie breaks. Also not sure why you say Fressinet was the main challenger as Vachier-Lagrave is the currently the highest rated Frenchman(+10 over Bacrot) Aug-29-08    wolfmaster: Why didn't Lautier play? Aug-29-08    zoren: even if vachier was higher rated, i think most players that are familiar with these names would notice that bacrot is much more experienced. Aug-30-08    Simonkaser: <wolfmaster> Lautier didn't play because he's inactive since end 2007... but I don't know why... Sep-10-08    Bobsterman3000: Lautier has a new job being a full-time shill for Kramnik. He's got no time to actually <play> chess.
