Feb-01-09   laskereshevsky: the first 8 moves in the game Bosboom-Hillrap persson are worthy of consideration...
Feb-01-09   Ziggurat: <laskereshevsky> Indeed... and nothing is clearer after white's ninth move 9. Rb5. Suttles might have a blast annotating this game.
Feb-01-09   Eurotrash: Bosboom and Persson aren't exactly in a hurry are they? A total of almost 2,5 hours spent on the first nine moves!
Feb-01-09   LaFreak II: Wesley So is Champion in Corus C

  Bluevertere: So drew his game against Howell. Fighting spirit goes ashtray when there is the bait of a 1st place.

That's the main reason so many people love Fischer, he had compromised only with his own illusions.

Feb-01-09   dumbgai: ...did Leon Hoyos just play the entire tournament without a draw? Looks like +5 -8 =0 to me.
Feb-01-09   shintaro go: <Howell will be out to beat So tomorrow, no question.> I just love it when people eat their words. Wesley is the real thing.
Feb-01-09   shintaro go: <Fighting spirit goes ashtray when there is the bait of a 1st place.> Yah, the same fighting spirit Dominguez showed against Sergey. Oh and what happened to Dominguez? Right, 5 black wins is not showing fighting spirit.
Feb-01-09   Jammer: <Howell will be out to beat So tomorrow, no question.>

oh well, no question, so proved he had beaten the rest of gm's in c group.

  brankat: Congratulations to Wesley So for his victory. Best wishes for even better things to come!

Also, young Anish Giri had a fine showing, and can look forward to a great future in the chess arena.

Last, but not least, congratulations to the "old" warrior Tiger for the fighting spirit he shows in every game he plays.

Chess is renovating with new blood.

Congratulations to wesley and giri
