| parisattack: I'm not knocking this fine and talented young man; congratulations to him on his victory. But I just want to point out something about the ratings-game and why we have 100s of 'GMs' and constant ratings inflation. (And, no, I don't have a solution but I don't think many of the 2600 players of today would hold salt against the 2400 players of 30-40 years ago.) Fabiano went in at 2594, lost to a 2489, the highest player he beat was 2535 and he comes out = 2611. |

| Gouki: this guy recently won the Italian Championship with a 2740 performance! see http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp...
for an annotated game from this 15 year old Grandmaster. perhaps chessgames.com could post the games sometime? |

| Tomlinsky: <parisattack> I fully agree. There's a nicely objective annotation by Caruana from the tournament against Godena on Chessbase... http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |

| slomarko: in his "objective" annotation Caruana seems to be surprised by natural moves like Re1. weird. |

| parisattack: I found his annotations on ChessBase quite different, refreshing. A little strange, true, but good to see it done a bit different. A little out-of-the-box thinking can't hurt. |

| pawnofdoom: <plimko> Well, Caruana was very unknown to non-American and non-Italian players until he recently became a GM. Negi has beena GM for some time now, and he is also the youngest GM currently alive. I only recently heard of Caruana when I read his name in Chess Life But now of course, I'm expecting much more recognition for Caruana because of his recent win at Corus and he's improving much more quickly than Negi. A few months ago, Caruana wasn't event 2500 and now he's just bumped himself up into the 2600s. Meanwhile, Negi is still hanging around the mid 2500s |

| cizio2: 10/13 with +2 on the seconds is an impressive win in Wijk C. I hope to see him in an important tourney before Wijk B 2009. |

| plimko: Fabiano will play in the match “Experience vs. Rising Stars” in August: http://www.scacchierando.net/dblog/... |

| Whitehat1963: Caruana should be in the Corus B group next year, right? And after this year's performance, will he be rated above 2600 now? How good is he? I suspect it's still too early to tell, but might we expect big things from him soon? |

| ddodditse: Caruana has 14 points incoming from the ITA ch. and 15.5 points coming from Corus, which raises him to 2627 or 2628. |

| Atking: <slomarko: in his "objective" annotation Caruana seems to be surprised by natural moves like Re1. weird.> The difficulty is to make a seeming "natural" move an "objective" one. Not an easy task. For my part I like Fabiano's comments on this game. |

| ketchuplover: He's 1-0 in the Reykjavik Open. |
|
| Mar-06-08 |
| Troller: <ketchuplover> Make that 3-0. CG actually ought to have that tournament, it's a pretty strong open. Some interesting youngsters, Caruana, Adly and Nyzhnyk, compete, as well as more established talents like Yue Wang and Hao Wang - 24 GMs in total. |

| notyetagm: <chessmoron: Wang Hao blew Caruana away with a 27-move win.> Wang Hao is -really- freakin' strong.
Do you have the PGN for this near miniature win by Wang Hao? Go China!

| chessmoron: Yeah. Go to Wang Hao's page. |

| notyetagm: Wow, that was some game between Wang Hao and Caruana. Wang Hao's king was much more exposed but it was Caruana's king who came under attack! And then Wang Hao finished things off nicely with the spectacular 26  e1xe6+!. |
