< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 1 OF 121 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-12-09    dbquintillion: Watch out for Carlsen, I say. Jan-12-09    bharatiy: I hope Sasi plays Corus A next time and hope Anand will have time for it also. Rare appearance of two Indians may be seen next year. Cant wait to follow all those games. Jan-12-09    AliMatok: Watch out for Philippine's Wesley, we say. Jan-12-09    shintaro go: Aronian and Carlsen are favorites to win Group A. Jan-12-09    NakoSonorense: Moro's gonna take it home. Jan-12-09    unfforce: Watch out for my favorite Morozevich Jan-12-09    Freakio: Write off Ivanchuk at your peril :) Jan-12-09    rangek: awaiting rajabov playing KID! Jan-12-09    hedgeh0g: Awaiting Ivanchuk playing French / Sicilian/ English / Spanish / Russian, etc. :P Jan-12-09    MarkusKann: Amazing tournament, Go Carlsen and Radjabov! Jan-12-09    waustad: I know what days games are, but I haven't seen the time. If I read the chart right the Grandmaster sections start play on Saturday. Does anybody know when? Jan-12-09    bharatiy: <waustad> check this out http://www.coruschess.com/informati... Jan-12-09    KKDEREK: To see a player like Nigel Short (2663) on Corus B and Loek Van Wely (2625) on Corus A is a frickin joke. Yep..Social skills are very important nowadays. Jan-12-09    shr0pshire: I have high hopes for Kamsky in my heart, but my mind tells me not to expect a few losses due to the fact he doesn't want to show any opening prep before his match with Topalov. But I enjoy watching most of the field when they are in a fighting mood: Aronian, Carlsen, Radjabov, Ivanchuk, Karjakin, Stellwagan. We will see what the mood of the players is. Jan-12-09    toastie: I got a strange feeling that Mickey Adams will win this. Jan-12-09    shintaro go: I got a strange feeling that no Dutch player will win this. Jan-12-09    dumbgai: <KKDEREK: To see a player like Nigel Short (2663) on Corus B and Loek Van Wely (2625) on Corus A is a frickin joke. Yep..Social skills are very important nowadays.> Wesley So in the C group is rated around the same as the three Dutchmen in group A. Group B also features 2004 FIDE WC Kasimdzhamov, as well as 2700+ rated Sasikiran and Vallejo-Pons. Corus A is no longer on the same level as Linares. Jan-12-09    Eti fan: The official site is http://coruschess.com/ http://tournaments.chessdom.com/cor... will have live commentary, I suppose chesspro will also have their Russian commentators. Cool photos as usual http://www.fredlucas.eu/gallery/agr... Jan-13-09    dumbgai: I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Van Wely, Smeets and Stellwagen get utterly crushed; it might give the organizers a wake-up call. With Kramnik, Leko, Svidler and Gelfand not playing they're less likely to get 15-move pity draws too. Jan-13-09    Ipecac: Van Wely????!!!!!!! In mah Corus???????? Jan-13-09    Billy Vaughan: I predict: - Adams gets a positive score. - Karjakin underperforms - Ivanchuk draws just as much as last Corus - Van Wely is not bottom-feeder - Carlsen, Aronian, Radjabov, and Ivanchuk are most likely to win, in that order. Jan-13-09    arsen387: Aronian is the winner of last 2 Corus tours. How many players have such achievement? Which is the longest streak of winning Wijk an Zee in consecutive years? I guess Kasparov, but how many years in a row? Does any1 have imformation about that Corus statistics? Jan-13-09    marcwordsmith: I predict Karjakin has a surprisingly strong performance. Maybe even wins. Jan-13-09    iron maiden: <Which is the longest streak of winning Wijk an Zee in consecutive years?> Kasparov won three clear first places in a row from 1999-2001. The official site has an archive of past results at http://www.coruschess.com/tournamen.... Jan-13-09    arsen387: <iron maiden> thank you. I hope Aronian will win this one as well and repeat Kasparov's achievement. And also from that site I see that Anand won Corus 5 times. Outstanding!!
