 |
Jan-14-08
| | ketchuplover: another win today |
|
| Jan-15-08 | | pawnofdoom: Best score among all the corus participants in groups A, B, and C by a full point. Wow. And it's only been four rounds. |

 | | technical draw: Yes, but Brau has a 3288 performance rating... |
|
Jan-16-08
 | | alexmagnus: <3288 performance> This number will dramatically change even if he plays one single draw... |
|
Jan-16-08
| | technical draw: <alexmagnus> I hope not. I want to see a Fischer like 6-0.... |
|
| Jan-16-08 | | cannibal: His profile, although rather short, seems to be incorrect:
<GM Braun became U18 Youth World Champion in 2006.> According to his FIDE card he's still an IM. |
|
Jan-16-08
 | | whiteshark: <technical draw: <I hope not. I want to see a Fischer like 6-0....>> that is 13-0 for this tournament! :D |
|
Jan-16-08
| | technical draw: <whiteshark> True, but I want to see at least a 6-0.. |
|
| Jan-16-08 | | gmgomes: What will happen whe he faces Caruana? |
|
Jan-16-08
| | whiteshark: <gmgomes> They will play their game in round 8 on Sunday the 20th, with Braun having white. |
|
| Nov-15-08 | | jon01: Does anyone know how many gm-norms Arik Braun has? His rating is already 2567 and he is still IM. |
|
Dec-05-08
| | whiteshark: Grandmaster title approved to him at the 79th FIDE Congress which was held 16-26 November 2008 in Dresden, Germany. Congratulations!

Position after 37.Qd2
click for larger viewBlack completely overlooked the threats against his King's side with 37...Bc5? (37...Kh7 looks reasonable at first glance) and then even overlooked a checkmate - it's lost even without 38...Qd6?? (White has two pawns for the exchange so giving back the exchange doesn't look too good for Black and on the other hand the threat Qxg6+ etc. looks very uncomfortable) but he could have fought on. They were probably in horrible time trouble already (classical time control: 2h for 40 moves, 1h for the rest). |
