Penguincw Member since Dec-22-10 · Last seen Jan-24-15 ♔ MY PROFILE ♔ ★★★ ANNOUNCEMENTS �★★★ I have decided to reorganize my profile, but it could take some time.

Feel free to post a comment. ★★★ CHESS PUZZLES �★★★ Here are some chess puzzles I composed. I'm not a very strong composer, but they should be fun to solve nevertheless. However, since my forum won't always be open, I decided to use one of my game collections for that purpose: Game Collection: Chess Puzzles Here's a sample: White to move, mate in three click for larger view Solution: (click on above game collection) ★★★ PREDICTION CONTESTS �★★★ I compete in prediction contests often, and so far, have gotten these medals: YouRang ♔♔♖♖ (2 gold, 2 bronze; currently 33rd most successful) OhioChessFan ♔♔♔♔♔♘♘♘♘♘♗♗♗♗♗♗♗♗ (5 gold, 5 silver, 8 bronze; currently 10th greatest all time) lostemperor ♔♔♖ (2 gold, 1 bronze; currently 15th most incredible overall performance) Overall ♔♔♔♔♔♔♔♔♔♘♘♘♘♘♖♖♖♗♗♗♗♗♗♗♗ (9 gold, 5 silver, 11 bronze; currently 10th best) Updated through Sinquefield Cup 2014.

Jan-24-15 YouRang chessforum   Penguincw: Last round starts early! Round 13: So - van Wely 0-1 Wojtaszek - Giri 1-0 Carlsen - Saric 0-1 Aronian - Ding 0-1 Caruana - Vachier-Lagrave 0-1 Hou - Ivanchuk 0-1 Jobava - Radjabov 0-1      Jan-24-15 Carlsen vs I Saric, 2015    Penguincw: < Carlsen will be highly motivated to win and that too works in his favor. > I have a feeling that if the Wojtaszek-Giri game is drawn, and this position is equal, even though a draw would clinch sole first, he'll try to play on. It's happened before: Carlsen vs Aronian, ...      Jan-24-15 Mating Net chessforum    Penguincw: I'm going to it a try: the moves I'd play are 1.Rxh7+ Qxh7 2.Qxh7+ Kxh7 and from here, there are 2 variations: 3.Ng5+ Kg6 4.Nxf7 Kxf7, and black is up 2 pawns OR 3.Nxg3, and white is has a bishop and knight for a rook and 2 pawns, although Rd7 and black can gain a tempo (for ...      Jan-24-15 chessgames.com chessforum    Penguincw: Oh <cg>, can you fix the Live Broadcast page? It's Ivan Saric that's playing, not Igor. Also, the game starts at 6 am eastern. Thanks. :)      Jan-24-15 A Giri vs W So, 2015    Penguincw: < Classical games: Anish Giri beat Wesley So 3 to 0, with 3 draws. > If anyone were to defeat So this tournament, it would be Giri.      Jan-24-15 S Shankland vs E L'Ami, 2015    Penguincw: Ooh. L'Ami started out an undefeated +2 after 5 rounds, but has since been a winless -3. At least all his losses were with black... Meanwhile, Shankland extends his run to 70+ games with just one loss (that's what I heard, don't quote me on it).      Jan-24-15 Penguincw chessforum   Penguincw: Woo hoo! 9000+ posts. I believe this #9000: Tata Steel (2015) . Next stop: 10000.      Jan-24-15 OhioChessFan chessforum    Penguincw: According to <WinKing>'s results, I had <four> 2nd under/over. :| Round 13: So - van Wely 1/2-1/2 12 Wojtaszek - Giri 1/2-1/2 36 Carlsen - Saric 1-0 47 Aronian - Ding 1/2-1/2 12 Caruana - Vachier-Lagrave 1/2-1/2 12 Hou - Ivanchuk 1/2-1/2 12 Jobava - ...      Jan-24-15 Tata Steel (2015)    Penguincw: < patfoley: Is a 5 way tie for first still possible? I do not have the schedule at hand. > Yes, if the following results happen: So - van Wely 1-0 Wojtaszek - Giri 1/2-1/2 Carlsen - Saric 0-1 Aronian - Ding 0-1 Caruana - MVL 0-1 Hou - Ivanchuk and Jobava - Radjabov      Jan-24-15 Tata Steel (Group B) (2015)    Penguincw: With Navara drawing today, Wei Yi is guaranteed to finish in a share of first place, at least. Tomorrow, Wei Yi faces Saleh while Navara faces the other David, David Klein (both podium finishers have black). I don't think finishing in sole or shared first makes a difference, but ...
