Jan-11-11    TheRavenPK: <Penguincw> No. Jan-11-11    ketchuplover: Better late than never. My money's on David Pruess. Jan-11-11    Kazzak: This one is a good one for giving a work-out to the chess muscles. J Friedel vs Van Wely, 2011 Jan-11-11    frogbert: van wely won. maybe he'll be the next world champion? ;o) Jan-11-11    Dredge Rivers: Is Elizabeth Berkley involved in this tournament? Maybe as first prize? :) Jan-11-11    HeMateMe: A huge field, Van Wely gets to be the bully? Jan-12-11    Blunderdome: Is this one of the tournaments Sam Shankland had already committed to playing before he quit chess, or has he returned? Jan-12-11    KKDEREK: <Kazzak: This one is a good one for giving a work-out to the chess muscles. J Friedel vs Van Wely, 2011> Well, that's a good game for sure Feb-02-11    parmetd: But Frogbert the more important question is how many World Champions did he already finish ahead of ! lol Dec-09-12    Fusilli: <ketchuplover: Better late than never. My money's on David Pruess.> Oops. Dec-09-12    Fusilli: <Blunderdome: Is this one of the tournaments Sam Shankland had already committed to playing before he quit chess, or has he returned?> Most players who announce they are quitting end up coming back, don't they? Or at least that's my unchecked impression. I think those who quit for real tend not to announce it.
