 | | PhilFeeley: Anybody know what happened to the Chess-results page for this? I can't find it anymore. |

couldn't tomashevsky just force a winning king-pawn endgame with Re6+?
i just played a quick line against fritz and won it easily. |

| | 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. |

?? 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 | | hand banana: <and how does Fritz defend?>
b4, with c3 next, and after Kxc3, Kf5 holds the draw |

| 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. |
|

| | 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... |

| | PhilFeeley: It looks like Ivanchuk drew every game. Anybody know what happened to Caruana this round? Did he play? |

 | | Eyal: A Nice winning combination by Shirov over Volokitin:

(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>

-------------------
Russian Premier League - +18
