Jul-06-10    hellopolgar: Viktor Laznicka is the guy that knocked moro out of the world cup 2009...he is still young and has a lot of room to grow, looks like a future 2700+ imo. Jul-07-10    Chessforeva: 3D games: http://chessforeva.appspot.com/C0_p... Jul-07-10    turbo231: According to Nakamura's website he was scheduled to play in this tournament, but he didn't. I wonder what happened to cause him not to play? He should play in more tournaments, even if they are only minor ones, Kamsky does. They say he has a sponsor now. That guy in Saint Louis I think his name is Rex. Jul-08-10    Tabanus: World Open (Valley Forge, USA) 29 June - 5 July 2010, final ranking crosstable: http://chesstournamentservices.com/... Jul-09-10    HeMateMe: Why didn't LeBron come here? He could be "King of King of Prussia"! hehehehe Jul-11-10    al wazir: Does Laznicka always win on opponents' blunders? What is his secret, hypnosis? Jul-15-10    whiteshark: <King of Prussia> Help! Did I miss s.th in recent European history? Jul-15-10    unsound: <whiteshark> No, but whoever set up the pub that bore the name did. Blame poor market research. Aug-06-10    whiteshark: <unsound> Thanks a lot! So it is Marketing, getting the right products to the right persons. Sep-14-10    GrahamClayton: I was amazed to see Surya Ganguly and Luke McShane using a rolled-up plastic board that wasn't even sitting flat on the table! Surely a tournament with the title of the "World Open" can afford decent chess sets!
