< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 4 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-17-12    whiteshark: it's probably equivalent to: http://www.tatasteelchess.com/amate... Jan-17-12    technical draw: Tikkanen wins... Jan-17-12    Xeroxx: never heard of these players Jan-17-12    whiteshark: Elli, too... Jan-17-12    Penguincw: Turov 4/4! Looks like he's going to be in Group B next year. Last year, I believe Vocaturo was "only" 3.5/4. Same for Chao in 2010. 2009 Winner: So Score after Round 4: 2.5/4 2008 Winner: Caruana Score after Round 4: 3.5/4 2007 Winner: Krasenkow Score after Round 4: 2.5/4 2006 Winner: Atalik Score after Round 4: 3.5/4 2005 Winner: Georgiev Score after Round 4: 3/4 2004 Winner: Carlsen Score after Round 4: 3.5/4 He has white against Lars Ootes on Thursday. Jan-17-12    Shams: <Penguin> Nine rounds to go, Sadler could still get the coach moving. Jan-17-12    Penguincw: < Shams: <Penguin> Nine rounds to go, Sadler could still get the coach moving. > I know. Turov still has to face Tikkanen, Adhiban, Sadler and Goudriaan, all with plus scores currently. :) Jan-18-12    HeMateMe: Turov is playing like a computer, here. Jan-18-12    Penguincw: I have a feeling Turov is confident with his opponent, while Ootes is preparing hard all day. Jan-18-12    PhilFeeley: <Xeroxx> Haven't been around here much have you? Jan-18-12    Penguincw: < Xeroxx: Why is there no group D? > Maybe they can't afford it. There are 14 players in each group (and the amateurs) so if there were 52 players and 364 games, I think the organizers might get a little crazy. Jan-19-12    LDJ: <CG> Hopman-Schut (0-1), played last tuesday, is missing. Jan-19-12    Marmot PFL: <Turov is playing like a computer, here> Might be prudent to draw a game or two. Jan-19-12    Robed.Bishop: <Marmot PFL: Might be prudent to draw a game or two.> Why? Jan-19-12    Penguincw: Sadler is a beast. 5/5. Tomorrow, Turov faces Hans Tikkanen in a very exciting and important game as if Tikkanen wins, he will tie with Turov and if Turov wins, he's going to put the tournament away very quickly. Meanwhile Sadler has white against the lowest rated opponent in the group, Etienne Goudriaan and can try to sneak his way up. Jan-20-12    Marmot PFL: <Robed.Bishop> Winning them all might be suspicious, unless your name is Fischer. Seems he took my advice. Jan-20-12    nummerzwei: Ootes vs Schut is a case in point of how resilience can pay off even against master opponents. Jan-20-12    Penguincw: Turov draws the game against the co-leader, so Turov is still a full point ahead. Tomorrow's pairings: Brandenburg vs. Hopman Adhiban vs. Paehtz Goudriaan vs. Tania Danielian vs. Sadler Turov vs. Grover Schut vs. Tikkanen Haast vs. Ootes Jan-21-12    King Death: In Cmilyte-Lahno 28.Ne6+ Be6 29.Qe5+ looks crushing now. Jan-21-12    ketchuplover: Soon Ootes will Haast seen enough! Jan-21-12    Everyone: was seen in Wijk aan Zee: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Jan-21-12    moronovich: Tjeck Goudrian-Sachdev for one of the strangest pawnformations,ever (!?). Jan-21-12    Penguincw: <moronvich> Indeed. Starting Position click for larger view Final Position click for larger view Tikkanen tied a top the standings today by beating Schut with the black pieces while Turov is still trying to beat Grover. Turov-Grover After 53.Rd7 click for larger view Jan-21-12    lost in space: Lissel lost Jan-21-12    Penguincw: Turov remains half a point ahead of the field. Tomorrow, all eyes in Group C will be on the Sadler-Turov game. The two titans clash. Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 4) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 4 ·  Later Kibitzing>
