1.5 = Chucky / Morozevich / Khairullin
1.0 = Fridman / Kovalenko / Shirov
0.5 = Krasenkow
0.0 = Mamedyarov

Feb-18-12  Penguincw: Now the pool has to be split into thirds. :(

  waustad: Some notice of the ladies in Tbilisi would be nice. A rapids tournament with many of the top female players with only one draw in 2 rounds is rather fun. 15m + 6s is rather quick, but it is fun watching Pia and Maia beat up on the unguns (so far).

Feb-19-12  Penguincw: Other than a small slip in Round 2, Morozevich was crushing from there on. Congratz!

  Check It Out: There are some serious train wrecks here - I love to see these guys play when their rating is not on the line.
Mar-02-12  Atking: It seems to me there is a problem, it was Petroff Memorial and no one played his defense!
