| DCP23: <malthrope: <DCP23: Oh. Looks like I've missed it all.>
To which I'll gladly add...
We missed <YOU> more! :D> Thanks <mal>, you're just the nicest poster around here! :D <<"For you worked the grand master Vladimir [Dobrov]. I desire successes and success!">I'm guessing this would be GM Vladimir Dobrov > Yeah, that's him all right, but what follows (<Желаю успехов и удачи!>) is of course <My wishes of success and luck to you! (the readers, that is)> and not what you got from that machine translation ;) See, that's why I'm always wary of those ;) <Thanks <DCP23> for all that extra stuff you added! :))> My pleasure! |

| talisman: is moro participating in the world cup? |

 |
| Eyal: <is moro participating in the world cup?> Yes (surprisingly enough...) - you can see the full list of the 128 participants here: http://tournaments.chessdom.com/che... |

 |
| kellmano: The chess world cup is always a great event. I am glad Moro will be playing. The line up is phenomenal, but it's traditionally over the Christmas period, so I am on holiday. And in general, drunk. |
|
| Nov-06-09 |
| KamikazeAttack: Moro could surprise tomorrow by giving his pal Kramnik a good old kicking. Very unpredictable this guy.. |
|
| Nov-09-09 |
| cannibal: On the rest day in Moscow, and on a cold autumn day, here's something to cheer <slomarko> up: There now follows the list of participants in the Tal Memorial that don't have a life-time plus score against Morozevich (classical games, extracted from this database, so no final guarantees).
Anyway.
Ready?
All right, here we go:
. . . . . . . . .
Gelfand.
Alright, that's it for today, see you around here the same time tomorrow. |

| moronovich: <cannibal> I dont think <slomarko> needs any enemies as long as he has got friends like you :) |
|

| KamikazeAttack: Will Moro end his career without winning a major?
That would be sad. Maybe not, I dont think he cares. |

| Appaz: <siamesedream> posted this link on the Tal Memorial (2009), but this might be a better place. http://interviews.chessdom.com/alex... "You know, I will tell you my own, totally personal point of view. I myself do not miss Topalov here in Moscow, or in any other tournament. Granted, millions of chess fans certainly have different opinion on this matter." |
|
| Nov-12-09 |
| szachista: Does anyone know why Morozevich doesn't like Topalov? Maybe it is because of Topalov's behaviour during the famous match in Elista? Some time ago I've read an interview with Moro, who said that his relations with Topalov are not good.

| KamikazeAttack: <Does anyone know why Morozevich doesn't like Topalov?> During the Elista scandal, Topalov insulted Russsia as a nation, this offended Moro a lot. |
|

 |
| tpstar: <szachista> 1) In 2005, after Topalov won San Luis, 64.ru asked Morozevich to nominate three players for the annual Chess Oscar. His reply: "1. Rybka 2. Hydra 3. Danailov." This has been interpreted as a sly accusation about Topalov using computer assistance, but I haven't heard anything else more specific. 2) Before Elista 2006, there was concern from the Russian delegation about cheating precautions (specifically contact between Topalov and Danailov) and a few comments about Topalov's implanted chip, but nothing from Moro himself (AFAIK). 3) Moro refused to shake hands with Topalov after Elista 2006 = Topalov vs Morozevich, 2007 |

| TylerD: Sigh... Once more, and nowadays as expected, M has not been able to do good in a supertournament... Sure, he had a good Linares the other year - and he did rather well in Mexico (the WC-tournament), but in general he fails when faced with a field of top 10 players. I always hope for him to surprise, but I have ceased to believe that it will actually ever happen. This said, it does not really matter, of course:) He has his own important role to play in the chess world:) |

| hedgeh0g: Morozevich, like myself, has the facial hair of a 13-year-old. |
|

 |
| HeMateMe: Someone above said there was an interview with Moro, where he said he was going to leave chess and become a coach in sports. Coach Moro? hmmm...kinda has a rough edge to it, like "Vince LomBARdi", or "Mike DITka"...Coach Moro, leader of men...well, maybe girls field hocky coach? Varsity racquetball? |

| mysql: Saw the post of frogbert about Morozevich in Carlsen's page. I haven't been following this guy, but I want to know what are his weaknesses which cause him not to have really good results in elite tournaments? |

| Winter: Grandmasters with Grand Master Memory...
1. Paul Morphy,(?)
2. Harry Nelson Pillsbury,(?)
3. Robert James Fischer,
4. Garry Kasparov, and number 5 is... i forgot his name...ahh...
5. Alexander Morozevich
IMO |
|

|
| hedgeh0g: According to the stuff I've read, Pillsbury had quite a remarkable memory. |

| Jim Bartle: I don't watch Morozevich with much care at all, and I do see his rating is down 50 points from its all-time high. But I wonder where he gets the wins, or even the draws, to stay much above 2700. Every time I look it seems he's losing again, and not long, tough struggles--but getting hammered. At the World Team Ch., for example, he's already -2 after four rounds, including a wipeout playing with white. |
|

|
| hedgeh0g: <Jim Bartle> He tends to fare very well against weaker (2600ish) opposition, which balances out his poor record against 2750+ opposition. |
|

|
| kellmano: <Jim Bartle> I'm a huge Moro fan, but unfortunately he may be a player in decline. |

| acirce: Don't know what's going on with Moro right now, but it's nothing new. http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev... |
|

 |
| aragorn69: What happens is when is above 2750, he gets invited to all the top tournaments - and his rating declines. When he's below 2700, he has all the time in the world to thrash 2500s in open tournaments - and his rating rises again! ;-) |
|
| Feb-05-10 |
| schroedingers cat: Will he be playing at Linares by any chance? |
