  plang: Very evenly matched field - + 2 might be good enough to win
Sep-02-13  mrandersson: Shame Karpov not playing always good to see the older generation playing games and they don't get much better than him.

  ketchuplover: Fifth!!!!!
Sep-03-13  inmate5: <Nezhmetdinov> The big winner is not yet a grandmaster as he was first again.

  perfidious: <notyetagm> won this? He's a stronger player than one might have suspected from reading his commentaries on games and all.
Sep-04-13  visayanbraindoctor: Interesting R + 2P vs N + 3P endgame between Eljanov and Sutovsky. Difficult defense for the latter.
Sep-04-13  visayanbraindoctor: And the Rook wins over N + P.

Two more rounds to go with Eljanov, Motylev, Inarkiev leading at 4.5 each (+2).

Nepomniachtchi continues with his rather not so successful performance. I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with him. I had thought that together with MVL and Andreikin, he would be one of the main challengers for Carlsen's dominating run of tournament successes in their age group.

Sep-04-13  notyetagm: <perfidious: <notyetagm> won this? He's a stronger player than one might have suspected from reading his commentaries on games and all.>

I'm deceptively strong, almost as strong as <csmath>.

:-)

Sep-04-13  Nezhmetdinov: No one is strong as csmath! csmath is strongest of all! (the pitter-patter of raindrops is heard)
Bah! Stupid water from sky! csmath will destroy patzers then csmath will smash stupid water from sky!

Oh dear Cheparinov! What has happened to him?

  perfidious: <Nezhmetdinov>: Indeed he shall, using that mighty Gruenfeld, over which he obsesses night and day.
Sep-04-13  boz: I actually like csmath's posts and hope he keeps it up. Like all of us he is just expressing his opinion and is sometimes wrong. But he is clear and incisive and often right on the money. It should be easy to recognize in him a man who simply loves the game, studies the players and likes to talk about it. I'm sure he is a strong player himself.
Sep-05-13  Pulo y Gata: If only chess engines are disabled when 'strong' analysis are passed off. Maybe then the lowly GMs wouldn't get so much of the brickbats.
Sep-05-13  notyetagm: 14th Karpov International (2013)

Unbelievable that Onischuk could not win his endgame against Inarkiev today.

Sep-05-13  Nezhmetdinov: To be clear: csmath and notyetagm are both great and extremely valuable members of this community.
Sep-05-13  notyetagm: <Nezhmetdinov: To be clear: csmath and notyetagm are both great and extremely valuable members of this community.>

Thanks for the kind words.

I am sure <csmath> would thank you too but he is busy right now denigrating some super-GM's play. :-)

Sep-06-13  kellmano: Cheparinov - Sutovsky today is a belter.
Sep-06-13  visayanbraindoctor: <kellmano: Cheparinov - Sutovsky today is a belter.> Amazing King march by Cheparinov!

Meanwhle Eljanov looks like he will hold the draw, and thus win the tournament.

Sep-06-13  paavoh: The tail-enders are winning in the final round, Inarkiev got mixed up against Bologan.
Sep-06-13  paavoh: And Eljanov draws the final game and wins the tourney.
