Oct-14-11    chessgames.com: Official site: http://ciutat-casino.escacs.cat/ Live games: http://retransmisio.escacs.cat/tran... This round-robin was intended to have 10 players but unfortunately Eduardo Patricio Iturrizaga Bonelli was in a bad car accident on the way to the airport. Thankfully, the grandmaster emerged virtually unscathed, but he decided to withdraw from the tournament. Oct-14-11    folchal: Seirawan won today. Interesting to me that his opponent took Yaz's recommended defense for beginners--not that it's a beginner defense. Yaz attacked with the Three Pawns if I read it right. I guess I better prepare some for Three Pawns when I use the Pirc. Oct-14-11    Strongest Force: I hope nobody tries to hustle The Yaz for money in blitz. Whoever tries will be wiped out! Oct-15-11    folchal: Today at the tournament Josep Oms came at Yaz with two waves of pawns from the beginning and castled queenside. He is also ahead by a Bishop. Yaz is pulled back in defense. Oct-15-11    folchal: Seirawan won again in Barcelona today. He withstood an early wild pawn storm on both sides of the board and ended up with two pawns in d and e! Oct-15-11    HeMateMe: Not bad for a guy with grey hair. Oct-17-11    beenthere240: Spragget won a tight endgame to draw into a tie for the lead. Oct-18-11    beenthere240: The leaders have 2 more games each and everyone else has 3, so it's anyone's tournament. Oct-18-11    beenthere240: Kevin and Yasser can be considered on top now. Oct-19-11    I play the Fred: Spraggett and Seirawan are co-leaders? I love the '80s. Oct-20-11    beenthere240: So there are in fact 3 players tied at 4.5/7, with one round to go. Oct-20-11    folchal: Ivan has won his game in the last round and I think Yaz looks good for a pawn dance. What do others think? Go to ciutat-casino.escacs.cat/partides.html Oct-20-11    folchal: Seirawan won his game--way to go old fella (written by a 63 year old).
