 | | virginmind: yeah, 34.Rxf7 was sweet by nisi. bravo again for parligras for defeating another strong gm. and, to make it three, lupulescu also won today! |

 | | parmetd: I cannot believe Savchenko played a budapest.... he got crushed like an amateur. What a pathetic showing for a player that was on 4/4. |

Round: 05
White: Papin, Vasily 2569
Black: Smeets, Jan 2660
Date: Sat Mar 26 2011 |
|
| Mar-27-11 | | jon01: Looks like Polgar miscalculated and she is a piece down against Ragger now. However, there could be some counterplay due to Ragger's king safety. |
|
| Mar-27-11 | | polarmis: Sergey Shipov is reporting from the European Championship (where he's acting as a coach). Here are his first impressions: http://www.chessintranslation.com/2... And then later his comments on Svidler playing 1. g3: http://www.chessintranslation.com/2... |

| | virginmind: normally lupulescu(white) should win today:
click for larger viewand with the draws of nisipeanu(already) and parligras(probably soon) the romanian trio should be at 5 points each after the 6th round. not bad! |
|
| Mar-27-11 | | AuN1: thanks polarmis. |
|
| Mar-27-11 | | The Rocket: when does the next fide list come out? |
|

 | | Appaz: Great reads, <polarmis>. You are providing a valuable service for the chess world. Shipov is one few persons making chess the intellectual game it should be, and I could never imagine reading is stuff in written originally in English without his brilliant Russian references. His defense of 1.g3 from Svidler removes any objections of "disrespecting your opponent" when playing offbeat openings. |
|
Mar-28-11
 | | Landman: On the list of things I never thought I'd ever get to say: "Hmm, looks like Peter Svidler's in 73rd place." |
|
Mar-28-11
 | | beenthere240: Polgar kicked her opponent around the board today. She was playing a full rook down for a while and just poured it on unmercifully. |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | BobCrisp: Sounds kinky. |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | Penguincw: Well Vladimir Potkin springs out and becomes to leader,for now.He should'not feel very comfortable though.There are 18 players within half a point of him. |

 | | Domdaniel: Are there still people who think 1.g3 is eccentric or weird? Like 1.Nf3, it almost always transposes - to a King's Indian Attack, or Fianchetto Grunfeld, Reti, English, etc. Even a Sicilian, if you swing that way. When GMs play the Budapest, or anything similar, then those who are not (yet?) GMs might usefully pay attention. OK. That's my routine rant about people who don't appreciate the finer points of non-mainline openings. Now I'll go back to looking for examples of the French with 3...h6. Or 2.h3 against the Dutch. Anything, really, but the usual tedium. |
