 | | Rolfo: Yes he is close, hope he keeps his cool and does his best |

 | | zarg: If the leader Dmitry Andreikin is Hammer's next opponent, a loss strike me as more likely than a win. |

 | | awfulhangover: <zarg: If the leader Dmitry Andreikin is Hammer's next opponent, a loss strike me as more likely than a win.> Don't be sure of that. I have followed his games. The higher the ELO of Hammer's opponents, the more he is likely to win! :-) |

 | | rogge: Yeah, I've noticed that too. |
|
| Aug-15-10 | | slomarko: okay lets see, classification before last round:
1.-2. Andreikin, Sjugirov 9,5
3.-5. Matlakov, Salem, Hammer 9
pairings:
Hammer -Andreikin
Salem - Sjugirov
Matlakov - Negi
can Hammer get a medal with a draw, i mean theoretically? where is frogbert? |
|

| | rogge: <3.-5. Matlakov, Salem, Hammer 9 > 8.5 <where is frogbert?> Preparing his computer for the ultimate challenge ;) |
|
| Aug-15-10 | | slomarko: <<where is frogbert?> Preparing his computer for the ultimate challenge ;)> well let's hope frogbert makes one of his precise analysis. but i do suspect Hammer <has> to win to get a medal. |
|

| | rogge: <i do suspect Hammer <has> to win to get a medal.> Yes, most likely. |
|

| | Rolfo: Then he has every reason to play for a win ! |
|
| Aug-15-10 | | frogbert: well, by winning hammer can take away the win from the top seed andreikin. i'd think that would be some kind of motivation, too. ;o) of course, if hammer wins and sjugirov manages a draw or better, hammer will have finished the event undefeated, successful on 1st board in the last round, without playing the eventual winner (sjugirov). but that's huge swisses i guess ... :o) |
|
| Aug-16-10 | | slomarko: draw. |
|
Aug-17-10
| | Rolfo: I guess playing 13 games in a row takes its toll, congratulations on being top 6! |

 | | Tabanus: Indeed, placed 6th in World Junior Ch (Poland) 2-17 August 2010: http://www.chessarbiter.to.pl/turni... |
|
| Aug-18-10 | | frogbert: shared 3-6 sounds better. ;o) |
|
| Aug-18-10 | | Cercatore: 1 classroom 2 GM.
That's destiny. |
|
| Aug-27-10 | | siamesedream: Good luck in upcoming games against Judit, Vishy and Magnus! |

 | | MrMelad: Hi <gmhammer> Congrats of a very good game against the world #1, I was wondering if you are willing to share what it feels to be one move from winning against Carlsen? |
|
| Aug-28-10 | | gmhammer: I'm sure I'll post some impressions after the tournament on my blog. Best wishes, Jon Ludvig |
|
| Aug-28-10 | | felixd: Awwww... You will probably remember this blunder for the rest of your life! |
|
Aug-28-10
| | MrMelad: Thanks <gmhammer>, and good luck tomorrow! Must be pretty great to play both the world champion and world #1 on the same day. |
|
| Aug-28-10 | | Oxnard: Oh for goodness sake, it wasn't THAT bad. This - Deep Fritz vs Kramnik, 2006 - on the other hand, is an historic blunder that all players can draw solace from. In fact it's similar to the biblical story - Kramnik made one giant blunder so that all our future blunders would be forgiven :) |
|
Aug-29-10
 | | alexmagnus: <Oxnard> In F Bellini vs V Gashimov, 2002 both players overlook the "Kramnikian" mate. ;) |
