Oct-13-16 | | PhilFeeley: I'll root for Kosteniuk this year. She did fairly well at the Olympiad this summer. |
|
Oct-14-16 | | Mr. V: I say it's about time Goryachkina showed her stuff. |
|
Oct-14-16 | | technical draw: <Mr. V> Now I know who dropped 5 bills on Gory in the chessbookie game. |
|
Oct-15-16 | | mathlover: who are the players here ? |
|
Oct-15-16 | | Nerwal: Line-up : Aleksandra Goryachkina, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Natalija Pogonina, Valentina Gunina, Olga Girya, Alisa Galliamova, Anastasia Bodnaruk, Evgenija Ovod, Daria Pustovoitova, Alina Kashlinskaya, Ekaterina Ubiennykh, Daria Charochkina. |
|
Oct-15-16 | | Mr. V: <technical draw> Actually I would never make such a risky bet. I only wish it would happen. Have no idea who in their right mind would actually take those odds. |
|
Oct-16-16 | | mathlover: thanks Nerwal |
|
Oct-18-16 | | notyetagm: Gunina won today, after starting 0-2.
Her plan is to win all of her remaining games and take the title, just like she did in 2014. |
|
Oct-18-16
 | | Annie K.: <Gunina won today, after starting 0-2> She's employing the Topalov Tournament Gambit. ;) |
|
Oct-18-16 | | whiteshark: Only 5 draws out of 18 games so far |
|
Oct-18-16 | | notyetagm: <Annie K.: <Gunina won today, after starting 0-2> She's employing the Topalov Tournament Gambit. ;)> We call that the <SWISS GAMBIT> in the US. But someone needs to tell Gunina that it really doesn't apply to close round-robin events. :-) |
|
Oct-18-16
 | | Annie K.: That's why it's the Topalov Gambit rather than the Swiss... he's done it in closed round-robins too, several times as I recall. ;) |
|
Oct-20-16
 | | HeMateMe: Go Natalie, in second place! |
|
Oct-23-16 | | Mr. V: After seven rounds, Kosteniuk in the lead, Girya and Pogonina chasing, Gunina with all decisive games, and Goryachkina with a boring +1 score. Nobody is surprised. |
|
Oct-24-16 | | et1: Any explanation to the fact that in this tournament in 8 rounds we have 33 decisive games and 15 draws whereas in the men's tournament we have 13 decisive games and 35 draws ? Super GMs know how to draw more and are harder to beat ? |
|
Oct-26-16 | | whiteshark: Congratulations to Alexandra Kosteniuk for winning <The Superfinal of the 66th Russian Women's Championship> with a lead of 1.5 points before the final round. |
|
Oct-27-16
 | | HeMateMe: She regains the title. |
|
Oct-27-16
 | | AylerKupp: <et1> The average rating in the men's tournament was 2684 and in the women's tournament 2441, a significant 243-point Elo rating point difference. If in order to win or lose a game mistakes or at least inaccuracies must be made by at least one of the players, the chances for a mistake are greater the lower the players' playing strength. Hence, the chances for decisive games should be (much) greater. |
|
Oct-27-16
 | | AylerKupp: And congratulations to Pogonina for second place thanks to a great recovery after consecutive stumbles against Ubiennykh and Charochkina. |
|
Oct-27-16
 | | HeMateMe: yes, Natalie won two of her last three games to get sole possession of second. A fighter! |
