 | | PhilFeeley: Yes, stronger opponents, beating Rapport and drawing Kramnik, Nakamura and MVL. |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | virginmind: Deac drew with black against Aronian. |
|
Oct-28-18
 | | Dionysius1: Fair enough. I'm rooting for Gawain Jones. No losses and beat Aronian. Playing above his grading. And I like the Welsh. |
|
Oct-28-18
 | | Marmot PFL: Xiong is a pawn ahead but I don't see an easy win if Jones keeps the queens on. |
|
Oct-28-18
| | PhilFeeley: I agree Jones deserves a good finish. I guess not everyone can get it. Draw on board 1. I guess we're headed for a playoff. |
|
Oct-28-18
| | Dionysius1: Ah well. A draw it was in the end. Not a very satisfying result for Jones or Xiong I expect. |
|
Oct-28-18
| | PhilFeeley: What's with the spate of non-castling? Is this a new secret strategy? |
|
Oct-28-18
 | | MissScarlett: I blame the malinfluence of the overrated Pillsbury. <Hazz>, if you're reading this....I'm joking, I'm joking.....jeez...lol |
|

| | PhilFeeley: No rapids in the playoff, just blitz. Looking forward to it. |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | Boomie: <PhilFeeley: No rapids in the playoff, just blitz. Looking forward to it.> Could be a while. Naka's game might go over 100 moves. |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | Boomie: Eljanov resigned. Now Kosteniuk is mopping up against a guy who apparently won't resign. The playoff whould start within the hour. |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | Boomie: And they're off...It's a King's Gambit, Fianchetto line. |
|
Oct-28-18
 | | sonia91: <a guy who apparently won't resign> I would have played on too in a B vs R ending |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | Boomie: Rado draws first blood. The 2nd game is a Sicilian. |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | Boomie: Arkady unleashed a piece sac and is dominating. |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | Boomie: Time for Armor Get It On. Rado has white. |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | siamesedream: Congratulations to <GM Radosław Wojtaszek> and his wife <IM Alina Kashlinskaya> for winning Isle of Man 2018! |
|
Oct-28-18
| | PhilFeeley: Arkady played a risky King's Indian when all he needed was a draw. It backfired. Congratulations to Radoslaw and his wife Alina for making it a perfect family affair. |
|
Oct-28-18
| | sonia91: Many congratulations to the couple!
Alina also achieved a GM norm, as her performance is 2705: http://chess-results.com/tnr385685.... |
|
Oct-28-18
| | sonia91: Speaking of GM norms, poor Semyon Lomasov (second highest-finishing non-GM, behind Kashlinskaya) narrowly missed it at a 2599 performance: http://chess-results.com/tnr385685.... |
|
Oct-28-18
 | | morfishine: Great showing by GJones |
|
| Oct-28-18 | | JimNorCal: Also, great showing by young Jeffery Xiong. |
|
Oct-29-18
| | PhilFeeley: The look on Kosteniuk's face! It says, "Bozo should have resigned 50 moves ago." https://en.chessbase.com/post/isle-... |
|
| Oct-29-18 | | 0ZeR0: Well done, Wojtaszek and Kashlinskaya. Sto lat! |
|
Oct-30-18
 | | malt: Well done Wojtaszek,
I was mainly watching the Grischuk v M Vachier-Lagrave game in the final round. |
