| |
|
ooda: Awonder just became the youngest person ever to obtain a USCF masters title Good to see more chess talent arising from 'Merica. I feel like i'm going to end up spending the next 30 years cringing every time I see his name though.

|
ooda: Awesome, there is only a really tiny amount of Ivanchuk interview or post-mortom stuff online in english. This really is a treat. Link for the lazy: http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.c...

ooda: Well done to Magnus but good to see Anand showing that he's still a force with 8/12 so far and no losses. I'm already getting excited for the Anand-Carlsen match, no way Carlsen is not getting through as challenger in March.

| |
|
ooda: <Really though, an impressive showing so far from the two 16 year olds in this tournament (3d and 4th youngest gms in the world), who are at a combined 8.5/10.> Yeah, a nice win by Dubov today too, which hopefully will put a stop to this "drawbov" silliness that was beginning ...

| | Oct-16-12 Magnus Carlsen
| |
|
ooda: Carlsen's live rating as of October 15th is 2847.6. It looks like we'll have to wait until at least the next event for him to get the record but that he will surpass it eventually is looking more like a certainty than ever. It doesn't seem to me that Magnus dominates his contemporaries

ooda: lol! I cracked up at the end at soon as Wang starts to face palm and the look on Kosteniuk's face makes it perfect. Thanks for that link <achieve>, it made my day :).

| | Jul-24-12 The World vs Akobian, 2012
| |
|
ooda: This is my first go at one of these here and I don't know how I would get a notification when it's time to vote, so I'm posting here so I don't forget about this game!

|
| | Jul-23-12 Carlsen vs Wang Hao, 2011
| |
|
ooda: Hopefully Hao will do better in his game today with black against Carlsen in Biel. I wonder if he will try another Caro-Kann. Also; could this be a Sunday puzzle: 24. white to move?
