 |
| Mar-25-10 | | znsprdx: Gashimov-Svidler: amazing (fairly uncommon after move 40) minor piece play 2 pairs of Knights and 2 pairs of Bishops each during moves ...44 thru ...47 boggling considering it is blindfold < 
click for larger view> 45.White to move |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | Mr. Bojangles: <siamesedream: <More like for Leko.> http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/g...; Thx for that. I was merely suggesting it Gris would be a better replacement for Leko at elite events. |

| Mar-25-10 | | A Karpov Fan: I think somebody snuck up behind Carslen and tightened his blindfold to restrict bloodflow to his brain...where was Aronian that round? ;-) |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | malthrope: <A Karpov Fan: I think somebody snuck up behind Carslen and tightened his blindfold to restrict bloodflow to his brain...> ~lol~ Devious behaviour at Amber with 'tricks & twist' at every laptop and table! ;) <where was Aronian that round? ;-)> He was putting the "squeeze" on Dominguez in a finely crafted blindfold blow-out! :D |

| Mar-25-10 | | A Karpov Fan: <malthrope><<where was Aronian that round? ;-)> He was putting the "squeeze" on Dominguez in a finely crafted blindfold blow-out! :D> So he has an alibi then? Clever thinking by Aronian :-) Pretty complicated blow out though (compared to Magnus' anyway), Rybka screams 18.Bc6 is a gross error but I couldn't spot the punishment on my own (18...Rfd8+ and 19...Ba3!) But the warm up is over, it is time for the final round :-) |

| Mar-25-10 | | shreyaslathi: Hi ppl i am knew here, just curious how these games of blinfold are played, do players remeber all t moves till end ??? , or they play on pc online games[as i saw in videos pc]
if any1 explain this |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | siamesedream: They plays on laptops but they see only last move. |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | percyblakeney: Dominguez scored +0 -12 =10 in all, and also in classical has he found it hard to win lately, after Corus 2009 he has no less than 44 draws in 53 games. |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | Jazzer32: Excellent performance by Ivanchuk, He didn't lose a single game (every other player lost at least 1 rapid and 1 blindfold game)!!! WOW. CLAP CLAP |
|
Mar-25-10
 | | SetNoEscapeOn: Congrats to first time winners Carlsen and Ivanchuk (sort of; he actually won the very first event, but it was just a rapid tournament with no blindfold). |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | percyblakeney: Impressive performance by Grischuk, going +5 in the second blindfold tournament of his career, without knowing he would participate until a week before the event. |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | aragorn69: Really impressive blindfold tournament by Grischuk. Now how somebody obviously in great form can simultaneously perform so poorly in the (seeing) "rapids" (in fact always the same time controls) would deserve an explanation. I don't know if he answered that question himself... Would it be that he got tired during the second games?! Or (fascinating theory!) that his time management was better without seeing the pieces?!? |
|

 | | beenthere240: Even I could beat Carlsen if he dropped his queen for a pawn. Well, I might be able to beat Carlsen if he dropped his queen for a pawn and most of the other pieces were gone. |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | Atking: <Beenther240> so if Carlsen plays simultanously 10 boards blindefold under this time management (to say overall 2~3 hours) then you have a chance. |

| Mar-25-10 | | znsprdx: <Jazzer32: Excellent performance by Ivanchuk, He didn't lose a single game (every other player lost at least 1 rapid and 1 blindfold game)> hence the TRUE winner since he defeated Carlsen in BOTH games...[DUH...] |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | znsprdx: <CG> what is the problem? surely there are lots of techies that can help you fix it... please just post the results...thank-you |
|
| Mar-25-10 | | abscissa: I'm so glad Carlsen blundered his queen against Grischuk like Grischuk blundered his queen against Levon. HAHA!! |
|
| Mar-26-10 | | Kazzak: @aragorn 69
There's a third possibility you left out:
Grischuk is better than the others at calculating blindfold with precision, while when they play rapid, this advantage disappears. |
|
Mar-26-10
 | | tamar: Or a 4th possibility:
Grischuk's other avocation, poker, is essentially a blindfold game, so he is more at home with doubt and uncertainty than the others. |
|
| Mar-26-10 | | madlydeeply: you just blew my mind tamar! very interesting notion....we'd have to see videos to see if he or his opponent is more tense or nervous.... |

|
| Mar-26-10 | | arnaud1959: <Grischuk's other avocation, poker, is essentially a blindfold game> It's also a bluff game. Every poker player must be able to bluff effectively. Maybe in blindfold chess Grischuk found a good way to bluff. |
