 | | waustad: In round 5, Cramling's opponent resigns in a position where he seems worse, but it doesn't seem resignable yet to me. Is there a tactical shot that I don't see? He is way behind in time too. http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.c... |

 | | Sastre: <waustad> After 26.Kh2, White is threatening 27.Bxf7+ Rxf7 28.Re8+. Black has no defence against this threat. If 26...Qa3, 27.Re7 wins. |

 | | xthred: Should there be a leader board? |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | timhortons: nigel is good but ill bet my chessbucks on either yifan or kopal. |
|
Jan-29-12
 | | HeMateMe: Is there actually a tie break that can sort out the big pack at the top, here? Does an event this large use a tie break, or is that facet ignored in a huge open tournament? |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | Blunderdome: Is there no way to follow the games on the lower boards? |
|

 | | parmetd: Ladies and gentleman... is the first ever pairing of Judit Polgar and Hou Yifan? 7 25 GM Hou Yifan 2605 4½ 4½ GM Polgar Judit 2710 6 http://chess-results.com/tnr63931.a... |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | Blunderdome: search "hou yifan vs polgar" |
|
Jan-29-12
| | parmetd: I know that the chessgames database products no games already Blunderdome but that doesn't mean there have not been any -- hence my question. |

 | | paulalbert: Should be interesting. Since Judit never plays in the solely women events, one would think that she would want to make an extra effort to defeat women opponents when she has such pairings to demonstrate her superiority, but I'm not sure she thinks that way. |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | s4life: Hou Yifan playing white against Polgar... hopefully she wins. A match between the two in the near future would be exciting to say the least. |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | mrbasso: Mamedyarov is currently the most sucessful gambler in chess. Today he won an entertaining crazy game.

Pokerface and 28...Bd4!??

| Jan-30-12 | | timhortons: eric got owned by a lower rated player. |
|
| Jan-30-12 | | Birthday Boy: Nice performance by Nana Dzagnidze beating and drawing 2700 players |
|
| Jan-30-12 | | matebay: why didn't wes joined this one?...because he took the SAT exams! |
|
Jan-30-12
 | | Ezzy: The Women's World Champion against Judit Polgar. That should be worth watching! |
|
Jan-30-12
 | | Natalia Pogonina: Before the tournament we have been discussing it with Nadya Kosintseva. Me: I guess Judit will take the 1st women's prize.
Nadya: I am not so sure about it...
So far the other girls are indeed putting up a real fight. Today's game against Hou Yifan will be extremely important. |

| Jan-30-12 | | Troller: In another interesting encounter, Howell plays the Jänisch gambit against Adams. |
|
| Jan-30-12 | | amateur05: Hou would love to win the game. A clash of giants. I hope it won't be a disappointing draw. |
