| art00: From this blog: http://red-white-chess.blogspot.com... < 59. GM So, Wesley PHI - 70 GM Guseinov, Gadir AZE The last and strongest Phillipine contestant. Guseinov is also one of strong GM from Azeri, but most likely he is the "unlucky" guy to face the So, as his games should be now examined thousand times by Wesley's fan. As I also now know Guseinov's mostly played 1.e4 and defend many times with Sicilian and King Indian. Should be interesting to see this two 1.e4 player face off. > *** |

brod, I think you are referring to live chess ... this team match is "correspondence chess" format which, for a start, I set at 3 days per move, so you have enough time to analyze before you make a move ... and it doesn't matter if we lost our games, the most important is we played as a team! Later, I will arrange for a "Vote Chess" ... so, please join ... |

| dunkenchess: I've heard that it is a nightmare going to the FIDE World Cup at Khanty-Mansiysk somewhere in Siberia from Moscow. |

| dunkenchess: <according to Josh Friedel:
Traveling to a desolate village in the middle of Siberia may sound like a hassle, but in fact it is… well OK it sucks. The first leg of my journey went easily enough. I travelled from Zurich to Moscow via Vienna. After arriving in Moscow is where the fun began. A couple days previous, I was notified that my flight from Moscow to Khanty-Mansiysk was cancelled. Luckily, I managed to book a new flight. Unfortunately, this flight was from a different airport in Moscow (there are three), so I had four hours to go from Domodedovo Airport to Vnukovo airport. Sound like enough time? The bus between airports I thought existed turned out hadn’t been running for two years, but this was unsurprising, as that would have been too easy. Cabs in Russia are a known hazard, so I took a train to the city, went on the metro for four stops, then waited for another train to take me to Vnukovo. I managed not to get lost during this process, which was in my mind nothing short of miraculous, but sadly I was still going to be too late! The woman at the train station told me the next airport train didn’t leave for almost an hour, so I’d only arrive thirty minutes prior to my flight, which wasn’t enough. Of course, I think that’s what she said, with my limited Russian and her speaking quickly she might have said the next train to the sheep factory didn’t leave for an hour. Still, I decided to try my luck at Vnukovo airport, maybe they would let me on. Nyet. Not only that, the next day’s flights to Khanty-Mansiysk were completely booked. I was already drafting an email in my mind. “Dear Organizer- Sorry, made it to Moscow, but I can’t make it the rest of the way. – Amerikanetz” Then I had a thought. Luckily, at that point I found a guy who spoke a little English, and in a broken mixture of English and Russian I suggested that perhaps they could reroute me through Tyumen, a small city close to Khanty-Mansiysk. They searched, and sure enough, they were able to book me on a flight through Tyumen arriving in Khanty-Mansiysk the next night. After that it was a piece of cake. I just had to find a hotel in Moscow, figure out some weird thing with the luggage, wait several hours in the Tyumen Airport (which as Alex Onischuk aptly put it, is more like a bus stop), do the weird luggage thing again only it is different this time, squeeze in a plane the size of a Ford Pinto, and hope that the organizer arranged for my transportation from the airport in Khanty-Mansiysk. Somehow all this was managed, and I arrived in my hotel by 11.> |

| Nf3em: <<jameskobe>: Ganun ba? akala ko parang olympiad format hehehe. okey sir join ako jan. consensus naman pala eh.> yung team match brod, match-up style where you have to play 2 games (1 with White & 1 with Black) and then all team scores will be accumulated, the team to score more wins the match ... example 10 players each team, the team to score at least 10.5 wins the match ... vote chess is the one where we will discuss the current situation and each member gives his candidate move(s) with variation(s) of course ... the move which the group voted most will be played by the moderator ... that is one way, another way is to just vote for your move without discussing it or waiting for the concensus but of course, that is not good as a team ... |

| wordfunph: Our Prayers for GMs Wesley "Apple" So, Joey "The Rock" Antonio, and Darwin "Billdozer" Laylo.. <kramrich>
Dear God, we lift it up to you, may they come in to the game confident,
feeling strong and healthy, relaxed with uncluttered mind, no nervousness and instead, feeling happy to have the chance to play the game we all love...guide them each move they'll make, may they avoid time troubles, blunders...we pray and we claim that they will win tonight... but then again, it's all to you Father, thy will be done...i also pray for all the kibitzers to have a great time, guide everyone of us including Pinoy players that they won't be stressed out and feel nervous...we lift everything up to you Our Lord, this we ask in the
mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
<genex>
Heavenly Father, be with our Pinoy GMs as they test their skills that you have gifted them with. Let them play well, and fairly. Let competition make them strong, but never hostile.
Grant them the strength to best their opponents, and lead them to compliment after the game. Grant them moments to rejoice, but not to put down others. Help them to stay safe from injury,
both physical and emotional. Help them to focus during the game and to learn some things and values that matter most once the game is over. Help them to remember that sports are just games
that all can smile, laugh, and enjoy. If they may taste victory, allow them to be truly happy. If victory is denied, keep them from envy. If through athletics, they set an example, let it be a good one. In the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen. <zk2>
We thank you LORD for the gift you have bestowed upon Filipino GMs, as we thank them for unselfishly sharing GOD's gift to all of us. We feel pain when they loses. We rejoice when they win. We are all one with them for we look upon them as our inspiration, not only in chess, but in their humbleness,
attitudes, being a gentlemen. LORD GOD, may we ask you to guide and bless them not only in his games but throughout their entire career bless their siblings and parents, for the love and unwavering support and for molding them for what they are now. Bless us, the kibitzers too teach
us to be humble in victory and be gracious in defeat. We thank you LORD for the camaraderie, for the friendships gained, for the laughter, for the ideas shared, help us to realize that we too have our own talents and abilities no matter how unique it may be -- which must be shared and just like Pinoy GMs... all for the glory of GOD THE ALMIGHTY, Amen... <protossmaster12>
Lord Almighty, we glorify you with all our hearts and soul. We thank you for the blessings you've showered upon us-- the guidance, the strength, the wisdom and the knowledge. May we (chessgames.com kibitzers) enjoy discussing and watching and analyzing the game we love. Lord Almighty, we humbly bow our heads in silent prayer for Wesley / Joey / Darwin's good health and their successful stint. To be at their best and enjoy what
he loves - chess. AMEN.
God bless Philippines..
