| Jan-22-12 | | AuN1: is harikrishna really going to be playing in the a group next year? |
|
| Jan-22-12 | | Penguincw: < AuN1: is harikrishna really going to be playing in the a group next year? > The tradition for winning Group B (or C) is a guarantee invitation for the next group. So, if Harikrishna wins Group B, he will ensure an invitation. Last year, McShane and Navara both won Group B, and both were invited, however McShane did not have enough time. :-\ However, even he doesn't win, he can still have a chance. |

| Jan-22-12 | | Penguincw: < "India’s Pentala Harikrishna kept the lead in Grandmaster Group B with a 6.5/8-score after a draw with white against Holland’s Sergei Tiviakov in 63 moves from a Benko opening. He was followed at half a point by Russia’s Alexander Motylev." > http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... |

|
| Jan-25-12 | | Kazzak: Vocaturo will curse his Rc8, but he should have seen the trouble he was getting himself into. |

 | | waustad: Agin the only game still going is Cmilyte's. |
|
| Jan-25-12 | | Penguincw: < "India’s Pentala Harikrishna kept the lead in this group after downing Italy’s Daniele Vocaturo in 27 moves with white from a Catalan opening. It was Harikrishna’s sixth victory from the ten rounds played so far." > http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... |
|
| Jan-27-12 | | Penguincw: Sipke is squeezing Harikrishna hard.
27.Kd1
click for larger viewThis leaves Motylev a chance to tie it all up. |
|
| Jan-27-12 | | Penguincw: Reindermann beat Vocaturo with the black pieces. Now, it's a matter of how and when Ernst is going to beat the Indian. |

 | | technical draw: Harikrishna is getting whooped real bad. Mate in 17... |
|
| Jan-27-12 | | Jason Frost: And with only 1 real check left Hari resgins. Now Motylev and L'Ami are only half a point back, and Motylev plays Hari with white tomorrow ... making B a bit more interesting. Bruzon, though, is now basically out of conntention after blundering badly against Nyzhnik. |

Nyzhnik - Bruzon 1-0 according to official site. For all intensive purposes leaving only Hari, L'Ami, and Motylev to contend for first. |

I made an error there. :) |
|
| Jan-27-12 | | Penguincw: < "The 250-euro ‘Piet Zwart Prize’ in Group B went to Holland’s Sipke Ernst for his win in 44 moves with white from a Queen’s Gambit against Group-B leader Pentala Harikrishna of India. With two more rounds to go, Harikrishna remained in first place but saw his lead on the runners-upm reduced to just a half point." > http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... |
|
| Jan-28-12 | | Penguincw: < "In Group B, Sokolov awarded the 250-euro daily prize to 15-year-old Ilya Nyzhnyk for his victory in 31 moves with black from a King’s Indian Defense against fellow Ukrainian Kateryna Lahno. India’s Pentala Harikrishna remained in first place in this group after drawing his 12th-round encounter with runner-up Alexander Motylev of Russia. Harirkishna has 8.5 points, half a point more than Motylev and Erwin L’Ami, who was lucky to escape with a draw in his game against fellow Dutchman Jan Timman." > http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | Penguincw: L'Ami trying in the endgame to win. He seems lost though. Harirkishna and Motylev already drew. |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | Penguincw: Potkin wants to break even at 0. L'Ami has different thoughts. |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | Penguincw: What can L'Ami do? Congratz Harirkishna. |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | LDJ: Harikrishna won!... Which means that I won some nice chessbucks :) |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | Penguincw: It's official. Potkin defeated L'Ami. Congratz to Pentala Harikrishna who placed solo first in Group B, and will get an invitation to the 75th Tata Steel A Group next year. Hopefully Anand will come. :) |
