Conquest, after winning his first four straight, lost two in a row. In round 5 (Saturday) he lost to Kryvoruchko and in round 6 (Sunday) to Shulman. Round 5 is here: http://dl.skaksamband.is/mot/2009/R... Round 6 is here: http://dl.skaksamband.is/mot/2009/R... |

 | | waustad: The years seem a little confused here. Some say 2009 but many say 2008. Looks like a job for a perl script. |

 | | paulalbert: Thanks, <Wild Bill>. We were all confused. So my original comment was correct,but we were talking about different rounds. Paul Albert |

 | | PhilFeeley: The <CG> table is behind. Check http://www.chess-results.com/tnr189.... Thomas is doing well. It looks like he may be on track for a GM norm! |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: Anyone else watching the live games? The feed seems to be frozen. |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: Live feed is back. Hillarp Persson and Roussel Roozmon seem to be in an even position, although Thomas has a half hour advantage and they're only at move 17.

| Mar-31-09 | | kramputz: It seems Shulman had a stroke.Did not move for over one hour. |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: <kramputz> The feed is down...again :-( |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: By the time we get the feed back, the games will be all over. So much for "live" chess! |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: According to http://www.chess-results.com/tnr189..., most of the games are over. Several top boards are still playing though. |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: It looks like Shulman lost, but I don't know how yet. |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: According to chess-results, Thomas won! I look forward to the moves... |
|
| Mar-31-09 | | Dredge Rivers: Reykjavik seems like a nice town. They should have a World Championship Match there someday! :) |
|
| Mar-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: what's the current position of the uh... games? |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: Games this round are finished, probably in PGN on the website (http://www.skaksamband.is/). Results & pairings here: http://chess-results.com/tnr18947.a... |
|
Mar-31-09
| | PhilFeeley: <CG.com> updated but they're still behind. See chess-results.com. |
|
Apr-01-09
| | PhilFeeley: Difficult to believe that Roussel-Roozmon is tied for second! He plays the top seed Areshchenko today. What an opportunity! |

 | | Absentee: Impressive play by IM Vocaturo. |
|
| Apr-01-09 | | Prugno: <Absentee> That's right, 19-year-old Daniele scored his second GM norm in this event playing many brilliant games on the way. Here in Rome we discovered his great talent quite a few years ago, but it's good to see the rest of the world is starting to take note as well :-) If he keeps improving at this rate he will soon be Italy's n. 3 and might even overtake Godena for the n. 2 spot! (Fabiano Caruana is of course the undisputed n. 1). |
|
Apr-01-09
| | PhilFeeley: ...and Roussel-Roozmon draws Areshchenko to finish with 6.5/9. That should be good for a GM norm! |
|
Apr-01-09
| | PhilFeeley: Final standings. I don't know if there's a tie-break other than the usual (from chess-results.com): 1 GM Steingrimsson Hedinn ISL 2547 7,0

| Apr-04-09 | | kramputz: It seems the final results will be updated in 2010 |
|
Apr-06-09
| | PhilFeeley: So who actually won this thing? And why doesn't <CG.com> update their table? |
