| Eyal: <Kramnik analysing Ivanchuk-Kramnik> The last chesspro report from the tournament contains a transcript of this analysis, so it can be read in an English (though a bit garbled) through the google translation (http://translate.google.com/transla...). |

| MaxxLange: It's funny how "game" becomes "party" in the Google translation. Did it get run through French first? |

| kirby1959: Here is my suggestions for a World Championship Cycle. I thought I would post it here as there has been some previous discussion about it. This is just a rough draft of some loose thoughts so I hope it is clear enough to be followed. And I know with the state of the Chess World it may be just pie in the sky dreaming, but here goes... CANDIDATES TOURNAMENT 2011, 3rd quarter-July, August or Sept./ 11 round swiss/2 week duration/ Opening Ceremony on Sunday/ rds 1-4 Mon.- Thurs., Fri.-rest day,rds 5-8 Sat.-Tues.,Weds-rest day,rds 9-11 Thur-Sat. Sunday Closing ceremony. Invite top 64 active players from Jan 1st 2011 rating list.Exclude Anand and Topalov as one will be World Champion and the other seeded into CHALLENGERS TOURNAMENT. Top 5 finishers, ( with pre-determined tiebreaks used if necessary ), advance to CHALLENGERS TOURNAMENT along with player mentioned above. CHALLENGERS TOURNAMENT 2012, 3rd quarter- July, August or Sept. / 4 cycle,6 player round robin / 4 weeks duration/ Opening Ceremony Sunday/ rds1-3 Mon-Weds.,Thur-rest day,rds4-5 Fri-Sat., Sunday-rest day then repeat schedule 3 more times with closing ceremony on final Sunday. Winner advances to World Championship Match. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Oct 2013 / 14 games/ Champion retains title with 7-7 tie, however prize money is split if this occurs. / Maximum 30 day duration/ Opening ceremony Sunday, then play a game every other day until a decision is reached. Prior to this match, in the 3rd quarter of 2013, the next CANDIDATES TOURNAMENT would have taken place and begun the cycle for the 2015 World championship match. Any thoughts on this idea ? |

| tpstar: <Picture to remember> Ivanchuk didn't want his implanted computer chip to catch a virus. Too bad he didn't have a real mask on hand and had to use an athletic supporter instead. |

| ounos: Just stand a minute a think: in a century's time, somewhere, there will be a Carlsen Memorial. Can you imagine it? Oh scrap that. I'm just a bit touched by seeing this picture of young Tal:

| Red October: <ounos> given that they just found the gene that can make one live to a 100, we may have to wait a long time.. |

| laskereshevsky: Sorry if im too late.
Somebody would please try to contact mr. Danailov and ask him the exact number of Kramnik's visits to the toilet? .... If I remember well, He showed in the past a natural good disposition toward this fondamental point.... ... wouldnt be?!
....:-) |

"We"? I don't think either of us is going to see that happening, gene-fiddling or no gene-fiddling... |

| Red October: what would be funny is if Korchnoi was around still kicking butt in that Memorial heh! |
|

| ounos: lol!!! indeed.
Here is Korchnoi, at the same period as the above picture ('60): http://www.chessbase.de/2005/leipzi... Now, would *you* trust a guy with such looks? :D |

| KamikazeAttack: It has been an amazing 2.5 weeks.
I can't rememebr when the chess world was treated to such an excitement and fun. I remember folks looking forward to it months ago, it sure lived up to the hype and billing. Organisers would be celebrating now and soon be busy putting together next year's version. Move over Corus and Linares, Tal is #1 now. |
