< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 161 OF 192 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-05-09    KingG: <samikd> <Vishy Anand of 2007-08> Yeah, but that's a bit unfair because of the upcoming Kramnik match. Anyway, Anand is getting old, he needs to take a few more draws than he used to, even with White. Mar-05-09    mindanalyzer: vamos a ver brother. Esa victoria la necesita un mundo para salir del sotano oscuro y solitario :), aunque con sinceridad no creo q este jugando tan bien como en Corus. Creo q ha perdido un poco de confianza con las 2 derrotas + el haber dejado escapar una victoria en contra de grishuk + el juego con aronian con el stalemate Mar-05-09    hovik2003: I bet there will be lots of partying by most posters around poor Grischuk dead body! Mar-05-09    Jafar219: Radjabov is winning now. Mar-05-09    Kaspykov: The round #13-14 will be so exciting now that everyone can play for the 1st place. Tommorow: Grischuk vs Anand its now or never for Anand :D Mar-05-09    jair: On a day like this Magnus is as good as anybody. 6. Be2 and 8. a4 demand a lot of patience to play against. Credit to Grischuk for coming out fighting. Mar-05-09    mindanalyzer: yes, he is. I dont know what the heck is wrong with Dominguez Mar-05-09    shycuban2002: oh my god!! what's going on with leinier in this tournement?? Mar-05-09    Geronimo: Grischuk has nothing to apologise for. He played well against Carlsen, but had a few slightly questionable moves. Let's see tomorrow if he's burned to fast and too hot to make it to the end in first place. Competition is wide open now, with Magnus and Ivanchuk just a half point behind with two to play. Certainly Chucky preserved his strength tonight against Vishy. Their game was as close to a mutual draw from about move 3. It could still go any way. Mar-05-09    Kaspykov: the "c" pawn is a monster in Radja/Dominguez :x Mar-05-09    Kaspykov: <shycuban2002: oh my god!! what's going on with leinier in this tournement??> hey, im going to cuba really soon, is there any good chess club or something ? Mar-05-09    muradov: Radja +0.73, up, up, up! :) Mar-05-09    ex0duz: Time scramble now.. 5 min for radja and 4 min for lenier for 6 moves.. not looking good for lenier Mar-05-09    Jafar219: <Kaspykov: <shycuban2002: oh my god!! what's going on with leinier in this tournement??> hey, im going to cuba really soon, is there any good chess club or something ?> I think it is not right time to ask such question :) Mar-05-09    Geronimo: I'm very upset that I have to travel for the next four days and will not have access to e-mail or internet in the evenings. I've been following this tournament like a madman, but won't know the results until I get home on monday night. Grrrr. Mar-05-09    shycuban2002: bro....esta creo q la perdio tambien!! aunq mas perdia q la q tenia con aronian y la saco del congelador.... vamos a ver q pasa Mar-05-09    Kaspykov: <I think it is not right time to ask such question :)> :x Radja is pushing for the win :o Mar-05-09    muradov: <Geronimo> You're going to another planet? :) 4 days trip.. Mar-05-09    Geronimo: <Muradov>, I'm going to Djibouti. Honestly. No joke. And no internet. Mar-05-09    Jafar219: <Geronimo> Your avatar is great. Mar-05-09    Kaspykov: Radja ganará :x Mar-05-09    Geronimo: Thank you, <Jafar219>. Mar-05-09    Mulyahnto: deep breath for Radjabov and Dominguez Mar-05-09    muradov: <Geronimo> A country I've never heard before, just checked out on Wiki, looks like a nice place :) Have a safe trip! Mar-05-09    shycuban2002: thanks God Radja made a "small" blunder now the position is almost equal Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 192) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 161 OF 192 ·  Later Kibitzing>
