  dx9293: They invite 2600 GMs and they have two 2-a-days? Strange. Something that would happen here in the USA open swisses.

This tournament was not rated...

Dec-01-08  frogbert: agdestein somehow found it appropriate to draw his two highest rated opponents and lose against the rest. the bad form from the olympiad continued, obviously...

"Here are all the games from the tournament, and with almost no exception they are highly recommended for replay. <Most of the players admitted that because the tournament was not FIDE rated, they felt they could play more freely, and that it led to more interesting, fighting games>." -- http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/m...

Time to replay a few of these games...

Dec-07-08  Maroczy: We need an eccentric director like Tim Burton to make a film about the GM scene; what do you folks think?
