Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-02-08  Riverbeast: Carlsen just WAXED Karpov both blitz games in this tournament
Sep-02-08  Woody Wood Pusher: Well it wouldn't be very promising for the future of chess if a 56 year old ex-champ rated 124 points below his 17 year old (widely regarded future champ) opponent went and 'waxed' him in a 5 min game!

Karpov deserves all the respect just for competing in this tournament, and still finishing with a positive rating performance!
