| yalie: since Caruana lost .. Negi is t-2nd just 1/2 a point behind. I think he has as good a shot at promotion to B as anybody else. to put things in perspective, Carlsen scored 10/13 when he played Corus C three years ago, but it was not as strong a field as this one. |

| bharatiy: I am sure he will win elo points. Also he showed that he scored a lot without drawing much.
But I dont know who gets called in B from C. Is it only the winner or few more people. |
|

| bharatiy: Wow!!
He is 8/12 and clear second.
If he wins against leader Caruana, that will be the best thing for this young Indian. I wish him all the best! |

| frogbert: congratulations to negi for a very good tournament, despite a shaky start! caruana vs negi tomorrow will be very important - in a way it's the duel to decide "the most promising since carlsen". :o) yalie, it was 4 (not 3) years ago, when carlsen was 13, and he scored 10,5 points, not 10. for a 2702 tpr, btw. :o) |

| VishyFan: Negi tried hard but lost the game against Caruana and had to settle for a tied 2nd place with 8/13... Negi gains 9.1 ELO from here and his current rating after considering the -7.1 from Commonwealth championship is 2528... Up next, Negi will try his luck in the Indian National 'A' championship starting from 3rd Feb... |

| ddodditse: Negi and Caruana are in different classes, which is why Caruana scored two points higher at 10/13 (performance 2697). Don't get me wrong, Negi is very talented and I wish him the best in the future, but the two can't be compared. Caruana in the April FIDE list will be 2627, roughly 100 points ahead of Negi. |

Negi is currently leading with 2/2 in the Indian National championship..., It is a 13-round swiss tournament... http://www.tamilchess.in/ACHESS/Ach... |

| ddodditse: True, rating isn't everything, but it is still a relatively accurate indicator of a person's strenght. Caruana is 100 points above Negi, and has been rising steadily while Negi has been stagnating. In their last tournament he scored 2 points above Negi (it's not important that at some point he could have caught up with Caruana, just that he didn't). Everything points to Caruana being stronger, even the games (if you are so inclined to study them). However, the fans here are very biased and prefer not to see what is very clear. Usually you only post when during a tournament Negi wins. It's common to see a person here comment "Negi is on 3/3!", but then if he loses 2 games in the middle of the event it does unnoticed. Typically, you posted when Negi had 2/2 in the IND national ch., but now his performnace is a mediocre 2485 and he is going down ELO. See the link below: http://www.tamilchess.in/ACHESS/Ach... |

| Troller: <ddodditse> Both players are still so young that one should be wary to claim absolute superiority for one or the other. E.g., on the rating list for April 2003, Carlsen was rated 2359, healthily below Nepomniachtchi at 2419. Less than a year before that, the rating gap between the two was around 100 pts in Nepom's favour. Certainly Caruana is playing better right now, as his rating also shows, but young chess players often develop in leaps. It is probable that Caruana will also have become a stronger GM than Negi 5-10 years from now, but it is no certainty. |

| VishyFan: Negi is having a poor run at the National 'A'...
He is currently placed 17th (4th in the starting list) with 6/11 with a TPR of 2444......, pretty disappointing...... |

| VishyFan: Negi is set to lose 4.7 ELO with a score of 6.0/9 from Dubai Open... |
|

| samsal27: Negi will reach 2600 soon. |
|
| May-20-08 |
| VishyFan: Negi tied for the top spot in the Kaupthing Open in Luxemberg with a score of 7.0/9 and will gain 19.7 ELO from the tournament... Negi will gain 15 ELO (Dubai & Luxemberg) and will be effectively 2529 for July.... |

| Augalv: Negi wins as Indian GMs rule
Philadelphia, July 1: Teen Grandmaster Parimarjan Negi proved his extraordinary chess skills by winning the Philadelphia International Open tournament, beating illustrious names including GM Surya Shekhar Ganguly in Philadelphia.
Negi (2529), the second youngest GM in chess history, signed pact with Woman Grandmaster Eesha Karvade in the final round on Monday ending a clear first with seven points out of a possible nine and a winner's purse of USD 2000 in the field of 39 players from five countries, including 14 Indians. The 15-year-old Delhi-lad edged past Ganguly (2631), over 100 ELO points ahead of him and the top seed in Philadelphia Open, and other higher-rated Indian GMs Abhijit Kunte (2554) and G N Gopal (2572). It is certainly a massive triumph for Negi, who had earlier this year shared the Kaupthing Open title with Romanian Andrei Istratescu in Luxemburg. GM S Arun Prasad (2492), who had held Negi during the course of the tournament, finished second just half point adrift of his younger country-mate in the tournament, which was played in the build up to the USD 400,000 36th World Open, a nine-round event which kicked off at the same venue on Thursday. Prasad drew his final round game with black against Gabriel Battaglini and scored 6.5 for clear second and USD 1,000. He also earned his 2500 rating during the tournament and a fourth norm here. Final standings:
1 GM Parimarjan Negi (7), 2 IM Arun Prasad (6), 3 GM Julio J Becerra (6), 4 GM G N Gopal (6), 5 Gabriel Battaglini (6), 6 WGM Eesha Karavade (6), 7 GM Surya She Ganguly (5), 8 GM Abhijit Kunte (5), 9 IM K Rathnakaran (5), 10 IM Dean J Ippolito (5), 11 IM Michael A Mulyar (5), 12 FM Bindi Cheng (5), 13 IM Rajaram Laxman (5), 14 FM Charles A Galofre (5), 15 Eric Hansen (5), 16 IM Marani Venkatesh (4), 17 WGM Nisha Mohata (4), 18 WGM Swathi Ghate (4), 19 FM Nelson Castaneda (4), 20 FM Todd D Andrews (4), 21 FM Daniel A Yeager (4), 22 WIM Kiran Manisha Mohanty (4), 23 FM John D Bick (4), 24 Marc Widmaier (4), 25 James Chan (4), 26 William Fisher (4), 27 WGM Aarthie Ramaswamy (3), 28 Samuel Shankland (3), 29 WIM Sai Meera (3), 30 WFM Alisa Melekhina (3), 31 Keith Mackinnon (3), 32 Michael S Katz (3), 33 Kimani A Stancil (3), 34 Adarsh Jayakumar (3), 35 IM David Pruess (2), 36 Shelly Mays (2), 37 IM Ronald Burnett (1), 38 Klaus D Kuenitz (1), 39 Dan Tecker (1).
