Guam is in the western Pacific Ocean. It became a US Territory after the Spanish American War I believe.

The fact that he resigned shows it wasn’t a prepared sac. :):):)

says robson vs kamsky ! guess the decided to show the top seed!

Still not really sure, but I'm guessing your line of reasoning goes something like this, Jennifer Shahade has some duties that relate to web-content for both sites, therefore she has <<<<100%>>> of the responsibility for updating the USCF website>, therefore she's responsible for the <unprofessional ways> of the St. Louis Chess club.

My apologies for giving jeniffer's job description rather than her title. What an awful mistake!!

Maybe people are missing the fact that this event is the biggest most important one in the US. Getting some pretty basic things correct should be a top priority.

No Jenniferneed is ofthe course note solely responsible for the mistakeUS (certainlythis uscf wise she is) but stccwise I do not know who they have assigned (probably mike wilmering but who knows). But anyways, explaining logic to you is a waste of my time so I will just add you to my ignore list instead.

@olafr we have already established there are two american born (robson an d hess) however if we don't count those that immigrated young (nakamura and lenderman) then our definition of American might be too strict... afterzll this country is almost entirely composed of immigrants. So the question is what should the definition be?

As far as fide is concerned, as long as you have USA fide federation then it is okay to play.

The uscf adds to this a rule (does not apply to wild cards) that you must live in the us a year and had fide usa federation a year first.

Should us citizenship be required as well?
Should the year as usa federation apply to wild cards as well?

Probably just “automatic thinking” the queen was still on d1>

Supposedly, Capablanca said that when he played <9. … Ba6> in this game: Saemisch vs Capablanca, 1929, he had forgotten that he hadn’t yet castled!

Exactly my point, you don't know who is responsible, and yet you make statements like <Jennifer Shahade who they are employing has 100% of the responsibility for updating the USCF website>. Even if I was <rude>, I at least know what you wrote, you're criticizing Shahade when you don't know and have no reason to suspect (since chess life online is not the same as the main cite) that she is the one responsible for updating the us chess championship info.

is this statement correct in medical point of view?

if we put in comparison the amount of calories a professional football player like ronaldo consumed in an entire football match and the amount of calories carlsen loss playing in a very high level match.

Dude, if you look at those pics, they are all skinny as a rail!!

I think that's highly dependent on conditions and what weight you're losing(e.g. heat, percent water weight, etc...).

you cant compare a chess players caloric consumption and loss during a professional chess match to a professional football player caloric expenditure during an entire soccer game.

i hope they stop saying this kind of ridiculous statement just to lift up the sport of chess.
