< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 4 OF 4 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-09-09    PhilFeeley: Anybody know what happened to the Chess-results page for this? I can't find it anymore. Apr-09-09    hand banana: click for larger view tomashevsky - alekseev couldn't tomashevsky just force a winning king-pawn endgame with Re6+? i just played a quick line against fritz and won it easily. Apr-09-09    PhilFeeley: Caruana wins another one! He's ahead of Ivanchuk in rp, I think. Apr-09-09    hand banana: my bad, i didn't let it "think" enough. it was a draw after all. Apr-09-09    hand banana: <Caruana wins another one! He's ahead of Ivanchuk in rp, I think.> ?? ivanchuk's: Rating performance: 2631 caruana's: Rating performance: 2811 and that was all before today's round, in which caruana won against 2724 player, and ivanchuk drew 2623. Apr-09-09    SwitchingQuylthulg: <hand banana: my bad, i didn't let it "think" enough. it was a draw after all.> 1.Re6+ Rxe6+ 2.fxe6 Kxe6 3.g5 and how does Fritz defend? Apr-09-09    hand banana: <and how does Fritz defend?> b4, with c3 next, and after Kxc3, Kf5 holds the draw Apr-09-09    virginmind: caruana the rising star Apr-09-09    chessmoron: Xu Yuhua v Zhao Xue What a game! A 5-move draw! Incredible. Apr-09-09    Udit Narayan: <chessmoron> Fischer was right about the collusion at Curacao after all. Apr-09-09    DCP23: <chessmoron: Xu Yuhua v Zhao Xue What a game! A 5-move draw! Incredible.> A nice game no doubt. But I don't blame them. Xu,Yuhua - Zhao,Xue Russian Team Championship Women Dagomys/Sochi (7), 09.04.2009 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 1/2 Now what's really funny about that game is that Playchess software identifies the opening as "C84: Closed Ruy Lopez: Unusual White 6th move". Unusual 6th move indeed. Apr-09-09    DCP23: Now while the Chinese gals were contemplating unusual 6th moves, Tatiana Kosintseva wins YET ANOTHER game, and is now on +5 (!) with no losses and a perfomance of 2701, which for a women-only event is quite incredible. Apr-09-09    returnoftheking: Besides Caruana (no draws yet!!) Volokitin is doing quite well at this event. Last round he won again, be it from a somewhat weaker player. Apr-10-09    virginmind: <DCP23> yes, bravo kosintzeva! also very nice face. Apr-10-09    virginmind: <returnoftheking> incidently volokitin gets to play now with shirov, who is +5.00... Apr-10-09    Andrijadj: How To Bomb Berlin Properly(Zhukov's Missed Opportunities) by Alexey Shirov... Apr-10-09    PhilFeeley: It looks like Ivanchuk drew every game. Anybody know what happened to Caruana this round? Did he play? Apr-10-09    Eyal: A Nice winning combination by Shirov over Volokitin: click for larger view (position after 41...Kb6) 42.Bc3 c4? (not noticing the threat, but it's probably lost for Black anyhow) 43.Rh8! Rxg7 44.Rb8+ Kc7 (or 44...Ka6 45.Rd1 and mate) 45.Rdd8 (threatening Ba5#) Be3 46.Bb4 1-0 (there's no good defense against Bd6# - 46...c5 47.Ba5+ Kc6 48.Rd6#). Apr-10-09    noctiferus: Anyway, in their team, Grachev (who played today on 4th board), got a better ELo performance than Fabiano, 8 points higher. Apr-10-09    noctiferus: <PhilFeeley> he didn't play today. Saving his Elo performance? Apr-10-09    Strongest Force: Is there anyone who keeps up with Fabiano Caruana's live rating that can tell me what his rating is after this event. Apr-10-09    hand banana: <Grachev (who played today on 4th board), got a better ELo performance than Fabiano> no. grachev got 2793 caruana has 2856 a bit better. Apr-11-09    noctiferus: eventually I found the final standing table http://www.russiachess.org/results/... but there are disagreements among the performance data reported in the same site. Apr-11-09    praddy06: <Strongest Force> Caruana's live Ratings ------------------- Russian Premier League - +18 Austrian Bundesliga - +7.4 German Schach-Bundesliga - -3.9 Current Rating - 2649 Live Ratings - 2670.5 Apr-13-09    XMarxT3hSpot: Drawless Caruana?
