Oct-14-12		HeMateMe: The ladies games are here. Danielian is the best known name among the early leaders. Yifan has already lost once; there is hope for the rest of the world. Kosteniuk, Muzychuk, Pogonina and Lahno are all near the top. Go Natalie! Vladisvostock in 'da House!

Oct-14-12		waustad: Thanks!

Oct-14-12		waustad: The biggest clash will be Wednesday when the folks playing for Monaco play Ugra. That could determine the top. With the Sweep today, Cercle d'Echecs de Monte-Carlo leads in match points and game points, with Ugra second in both.

Oct-15-12		waustad: Another win for Pia Cramling. She's now +3 =2 -0.

Oct-15-12		waustad: Tatiana Shadrina is having a great tournament so far at +4.

Oct-16-12		waustad: Another sweep today for Cercle d'Echecs de Monte-Carlo. Since this is a round robin on the women's side, there are some crushes even later in the tournament. With more teams, the men are playing a Swiss so the top isn't playing the bottom much, particularly with the accelerated pairings they've been using. How do they do that? Do they break the list into 4 parts instead of 2?

Oct-16-12		whiteshark: Cercle d'Echecs de Monte Carlo is the European Club Cup 2012 winner !!!! CONGRATS to: http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...

Oct-16-12		whiteshark: and here: http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...

Oct-16-12		HeMateMe: That photo rocks, dude.

Oct-16-12		waustad: Their 12 match points clinch for Cercle d'Echecs de Monte-Carlo. #2 Ugra has 9 now, so me may see some short draws tomorrow. Actually it depends how much Ugra wants to avoid being knocked into 3rd place by Mika. http://chess-results.com/tnr82750.a...

Oct-17-12		waustad: I guess the battle for 2nd and 3rd was intense enough that there were very few, if any quick draws.

Oct-17-12		waustad: I guess that with 5 of the top 8 in winning percentage, Monaco really did dominate.
