| Jan-20-10 | | Alexandru Z: A first free day at Corus, and Carlsen's streak of undefeated games has reached 32. In my next post I would like to reply to some posts on this topic from Carlsen's player page. Let me first say why I think the topic is important. For at least three reasons: 1) Becoming world champion is the highest achievement in chess, but those opportunities do not appear daily. And in between such events one needs to look at other things in order to assess their current level. Win tournaments. Improve your rating. Break world records, or even personal records. And this streak is a very fine personal record. 2) This particular type of streak is quite relevant in Carlsen's case. Let us recall that not too long ago there was a widespread opinion that Carlsen loses too many games. The current streak addresses that perceived problem. 3) There is also a psychological aspect. The more this streak grows, the more likely it will be in the back of someone's mind. I don't even mean Carlsen's opponents, or Carlsen himself. I mean his coach. The longer it takes before he loses, the more disappointing for Carlsen that first loss will be. I am sure Kasparov will prepare and give Magnus some careful advice and encouragement at that time. |

| Jan-20-10 | | hedgeh0g: frogbert, I heard that you were recently on Chess Talk with John Watson and was wondering if your altercations with various cg.com members were discussed. If so, it would be well worth listening to! :P |
|
| Jan-20-10 | | frogbert: hedgehog, i doubt our everyday disputes here would draw too much interest from a random listener. i did comment briefly on the anti-naka myth, but i didn't mention to say anything very sensible about it - i've explained things much better previously here on cg.co - in writing. i linked to the interview from the message-section of chess.liverating.org, way down on the main page. personally i gave the interview 3 out of 5 stars - too many things i could've explained better and more precisely, and too much time spent "eh..."-ing and "uh..."-ing. one thing is having to speak english for 1,5 hour straight, another is that i'm not used to being interviewed and never got the time to prepare any notes, even though i had a rather good idea about what kind of questions i would be asked, at least roughly. but it's nice talking to john - i spent an hour on the phone with him prior to the interview too, and that was even nicer than the interview, where the setting made me a little nervous. :o) the listener can pick that up from the occasional silly/nervous laughter... ;o) |
|
| Jan-20-10 | | hedgeh0g: Interessant å vite :). Bare et spørsmål til: foretrekker du at folk skriver på Norsk eller Engelsk på din cg.com side eller bryr du deg ikke om det? |
|
| Jan-20-10 | | frogbert: det synest eg folk får bestemme sjølv, avhengig av kva publikum ein ønskjer å nå - eller ikkje nå. :o) |
|
| Jan-20-10 | | frogbert: < i didn't mention to say anything very sensible about it > or maybe i should stick to norwegian...
"i didn't <manage> to say anything ..." was what i intended, obviously. |

| Jan-20-10 | | Alexandru Z: <Jan-15-10 whatthefat: <Alexandru Z>
Interesting - so what's your prediction for 2010? :)> I haven't thought about it yet. I think the nicest thing would be if the two of us, and others who may be interested in this, first have some discussion here. Then, who knows, we might come up with a joint prediction which makes sense to all of us ? Let me start by writing some preliminary posts, as time permits, to explain my line of reasoning for that prediction (17 streaks of length 12 and 5 streaks of length 20). <Jan-15-10 rogge: <Alexandru Z>, so Carlsen is undefeated in 28 games. It could be interesting to look at some of his opponents.> This is a very good idea. I confess I have not looked at other players' streaks as careful as I should have, but one has to do it if one wants to have a good overall view of what happens at top level chess, from this point of view. <Jan-15-10 zarg: <Alexandru Z: Lastly, I am curious of readers' reaction when they count how many streaks of length 12 are contained in this 28 long streak>
15>
I thought it was pretty cool that he ended 2009 with that 28 long streak which contains exactly 17 streaks of length 12 (games 1-12, 2-13,...,16-27, 17-28). I was actually very optimistic from the beginning about this part of my prediction. I was more worried about the part about streaks of length 20. So when he reached such a streak with one round to go at Tal Memorial, I silently celebrated by posting <Nov-13-09 Alexandru Z: zarg, 20 and counting.> (but kept my mouth shut about my long forgotten prediction). <Jan-15-10 alexmagnus: But MC still has to play "a little" to match the record non-losing streak (96 games, by Tal).
And the record winning streak probably belongs to Steinitz forever (25 games).> As <alexmagnus> pointed out in another post, it was 95 games by Tal, which is huge. To break that record one would need 3 back to back streaks of the size achieved by Magnus so far (32 games each). Concerning the record 25 long winning streak, I agree that at present it is out of touch. Even half of it is too much for present day top players. In my opinion, the only top player with a realistic chance at a winning streak more than a dozen games long is Mamedyarov. But in order to have a chance he would need the World Team Championship be played before the World Cup. He would also need to continue to be misplaced (put on board 4) to play much weaker opponents, and it would also help it they optimize their strategy to arrange for him all 9 games with white, not just 7 like this year. Then he may be able to win all 9 games, plus the first 5 games or so at the World Cup as he did now. But I don't think this will happen. What I think will happen is that Gashimov will strongly complain pretty soon, because as a side effect, their team strategy is seriously jeopardizing his chances to play in the Candidates event. |

Which schedule is correct

------------------
7 rounds completed
http://www.chess-results.com/tnr211... |
|
| Jan-21-10 | | frogbert: indianchessupdates, there are no results here that change anything on the live top list, i think. movsesian has played no games in the slovakian extraliga, and none of the 2700+ players played rounds 4-7 of the austrian bundesliga. |

| Jan-21-10 | | boz: Interesting interview on ICC. |
|
| Jan-21-10 | | frogbert: boz, i guess it's ok - it would've been better if edited down to half the length, but john said they essentially do no kind of editing. |
|
| Jan-21-10 | | boz: <it would've been better if edited down to half the length> Oh, I was assuming that it was ;)
Anyway, some intructive observations on the k-factor, internet rating fluctuation and rating inflation. |
|
| Jan-21-10 | | whatthefat: Is the interview only accessible through ICC? |
|
| Jan-21-10 | | frogbert: whatthefat, the full interview is available here: https://webcast.chessclub.com/icc/i... but it requires you to be an icc member in order to listen - it asks for username and password. (if you haven't signed up for a free trial previously, i guess a trial account will give you access to, but i would've saved that for something more important... :o) a short preview, basically a snippet from the very start of it, is available for everyone - direct link: http://webcast.chessclub.com/previe... anyway, those who have read a good number of my rating-related posts on cg.com have most likely already read more concise and stringent versions of anything we touched in the interview. another "advantage" of the audio-interview is also my rather clear accent and terrible radio voice. ;o) |

| Jan-28-10 | | frogbert: thanks, i had missed that one - will be included in my next update! :o) |
|
| Jan-29-10 | | zarg: <frogbert: employee, zarg? please keep my employer out of my cg.com activities as much as you can, zarg! usually my employer plays a completely non-existent role in my "chess-capades"> There was no direct reference to your employer this time. Considering that you introduced <Redmond time> without any help, you ain't qualified for the victim role after a one-liner rant from me. <semi-dodgy, half-pornographical, "dirty" and "forbidden" ...> Looks like you are describing your own emotions here. I am no GNU licence fanatic; in fact, a BSD licence is rather fine by me. :) <remember that i've been a unix user for nearly 20 years now - i was a bash-expert and an emacs-guru before i even owned my first pc. (gasp! it's true!)> Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds etc. belong to the guru category in my book. |
|
| Jan-29-10 | | frogbert: well, i guess stallman knows a thing or two about emacs still. :o) of course, i wasn't in any way comparing myself with any of these - more with the average user of emacs who mostly configures his favourite major and minor modes, maybe slightly hacking one if in a daring mood. if you have done a couple of minor/major modes of your own, you're typically deep enough in elisp to qualify as a "guru" to most others. but obviously i didn't write the thing from scratch (well, almost) like stallman, and neither have i been a developer of later, "post-stallman" versions of it. didn't you say you already had posted your grumpy post of the week, btw? ;o) |
|
| Jan-29-10 | | frogbert: <you ain't qualified for the victim role after a one-liner rant from me.> oh, i'm sure i can collect nearly 10 "anti-ms" comments from you after fast were acquired by microsoft. but i didn't ask for any victim role either - i simply stated that there's little reason for overstating the relationship between what i do and what you (or others) think about my employer. by education and tradition i'm basically a unix dude, you know. |
|
| Jan-29-10 | | zarg: <oh, i'm sure i can collect nearly 10 "anti-ms" comments from you after fast were acquired by microsoft.> Nope, at <the Carlsen page> you can't collect that at all. There, the <evil> zarg has victimized you by a single one-liner rant. |

| Jan-29-10 | | Rolfo: Magnus at a personal best all time high live rating? Kramnik will catch 2800? |
|
| Jan-29-10 | | frogbert: rolfo, about kramnik - well, you are the one with the crystal ball, not me. :o) regarding carlsen, you can simply click http://chess.liverating.org/toplist... (clicking on the player name in any live list) whenever you wonder about such a thing - scroll all the way down for highest/lowest ratings. |
