Sep-25-09    Billy Vaughan: Good to see Bacrot still has some fight in him. Sep-25-09    LaFreak III: Howell he perform this tourney.. Sep-25-09    Riverbeast: Go Sutovsky! I hope you win this tournament and go over 2700, it's long overdue Sep-26-09    DCP23: Something's wrong with Bartosz Socko. Why didn't he beat David Howell like everybody else? Sep-26-09    percyblakeney: Muzychuk did well to finish with an even score and a 2600+ performance in spite of missing wins against Timman and Stefanova. Sep-26-09    siamesedream: <Something's wrong with Bartosz Socko. Why didn't he beat David Howell like everybody else?> But he won against top seeded Bacrot... Great job! Świetna robota, Bartek! Congratulations to GM Emil Sutovsky for winning the tournament. Sep-26-09    Thuellin: Is Muzychuk getting a GM norm? It's hard to believe she's not a GM yet -- her rating has been 2500+ for over a year. Sep-26-09    percyblakeney: <Is Muzychuk getting a GM norm?> I think so, it has to be 3 GM opponents and a 2600 performance, and here she played 8 GMs and performed 2616. Sep-26-09    sugardoom: GM Sutovsky must credit GM Kamsky,for his sucess on this tournament. Sep-27-09    slomarko: and why is that? Sep-27-09    sugardoom: <slomarko> because Sutovsky is the one who benefited most from his collaboration with Kamsky,not the other way around. Sep-27-09    slomarko: how do you know that? Sep-27-09    sugardoom: Just look at the results of the two afterwards and draw your conclusion. Sep-27-09    frogbert: sugardoom, sutovsky <lost> 25,3 points in the serbian league (that ended right before the inventi event started) - that is <much more> than he gained in this event. i'd say sutovsky simply looks uneven - there's no evidence of sudden over-all improvement. :o) Sep-27-09    sugardoom: I stand corrected <frogbert>,I forgot about the serbian league. But in truth,my observation on Sutovsky is just for fun,sort of a joke,humor. Sep-27-09    frogbert: i considered it a joke, too - however, it didn't stop me from reminding you about the serbian league. :o) Sep-28-09    kurtrichards: Emil Sutovski wins Inventi Chess Tournament. http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/
