¡¶Do you think the forfeit may have upset her tournament?¡· I think the forfeit may have upset her a little,but not much. Usally Hou can recover from the loss quickly,But this she was not in form at all.So forfeit or not didn't matter. |

| Imposter: <Zhijun>
Probably right. Although she did well in the last tournament, qualifying for the World Cup, she crashed in this one. It is reminiscent of Shirov winning M-Tel and then losing the first four games of the 10th Karpov Tournament (2009) in Moscow. |

| Zhijun: kurtrichards:< I'm no Chinese but to say that "it is customary for Chinese officials to cheat in sports events" is most unfair and irresponsible. If the sole argument is the "underage female gymnast in the olympics, then what has it to do with Miss Hou?> The argument about underage female gymnast in the olympics dosn't make any sense,because it was verified that some American medias started a rumourmongering campaign just after the American gymnast team couln¡¯t take the gold medals which were considered belong to them absolutely(If the Americans won the Gold,there was no any campaign probably even Chinese may really cheated) .And then soon after overall investigation,IOC verified that the age of all Chinese gymnasts were legal for the Olympics.(You can goto the website of IOC or google for the details of this investigation) In Fact.The truth is that it is customary for any person to cheat in sports events or other fields in the world.
We can saw Ben Johnson of Canada cheated;Mario Jones of USA cheated and jailed;NBA referees of USA cheated and jailed;Juventus soccer club of Italy cheated and fined and degraded directly; The first recorded doping death occurred in 1886 when the cyclist Linton overdosed on tri-methyl during a race;Thomas Hicks cheated and won Gold in 1896,Athens(First person won olympics gold with cheating) ;Knud Jasen of Denmark cheated and died under his bike on the race lane in 1960,Rome( first person died of cheating in olympics in history);Even the most famous and greatest athletes,The greatest American idol: CARL LEWIS was verified that he had been doped most of races,why nobody caght him?Please remember USA is leader in medical technology and almost all fields,so IOC failed to found him doping until 23,April,2003,He admit his doping and Olympic committee of America helped him to conceal and unreport¡.etc.(you can google for details.) Of cause there are some cheating and doping in China, But who¡¯s first cheater,who cheated and is cheating more,If you are a objective person,you can draw a right conclusion except that you don¡¯t want to like <mindanalyzer>.. |

| kurtrichards: <Zhijun> That is why when someone post here that "it is customary for Chinese offials to cheat in sports events", I reacted that the statement was most unfair and irresponsible. In your list of cheaters, there is no Chinese there. As regards the gymnast who allegedly cheat on her age, it was proven that her age was correct. And what about Miss Hou, she is a girl. She is fifteen years old and not fifty according to someone here. What an insult. Btw, maybe someone should go to the website or google for details but not me. LOL |

| SirChrislov: Sad news for Yifan. she just lost the final game of the Chinese championship.

Carlsen vs Yifan Hou, 2008

| SirChrislov: correction to my last post. it was not the final but a round 8 game she lost by default. my apologies.
I err, therefore I am. -Tartakower |

| Ken MacGillivray: To SirChrislove; well you didn't err in your claim that she lost to an insane rule. The bizarre zero forfeit rule was a brainwaive of the FIDE President but despite a disastrous and unpopular test run at the 2008 Dresden Olympics, the new rule was approved by compliant FIDE officials earlier mthis year. |

| Zhijun: <kurtrichards>
Sorry to make you misunderstood my kibitz.
<If you are a objective person,you can draw a right conclusion except that you don¡¯t want to like <mindanalyzer>..> "YOU" in this sentence means any person who are not just and objectively,but not you,I apology for the understanding because of my broken English. <Of cause there are some cheating and doping in China>
Btw, I don't mentioned the Chinese cheater's name because they are obscure,even I pointed out them,you would probably forget them immediately,but You will remember CARL LEWIS ,Ben Johson,Maria,Jones, that's all. If you want,I can give some names of Chinese cheater,I hope you can remember them,:-)
Ouyan Kunpeng,Wu Yanyan,Swimming;
Gao Xiaoning,cyclist;
Yin Lili,Song Liqing,Liu Yunfeng,Cui Danfeng,Zhou Wei,Yang Chunlei,Liu Jing,LiJi,athletes;
and ETC.
If you know Chinese,you can google for more and more cheaters.:-) |

| Manic: <Ken MacGillivray>
Did you take that from the SMH in Sydney? =D
Indeed that is correct. For those interested I believe Kirsan
decided to trial it after he had to wait for his opponent and proceeded to lose. |

 |
| Ken MacGillivray: <Manic> You are absolutely correct; these were the words of GM Ian Rogers but they expressed my views perfectly, except Ian put it more succinctly and better than I could have. |
 |
| Jun-21-09 |
| Manic: <Ken MacGillivray> It wouldn't be surpising if that view was shared by almost all chess players. It was from Rogers' column last year I found out that when and why Kirsan introduced it as well (Rogers' showed the same disdain for it then as he does now) |

| ghyanoki: Is Yifan Hou going to become stronger or is she going to maintain this level? In the last year, comparing the july rankings, has only improved 27 points. |

| Boomie: <ghyanoki: Is Yifan Hou going to become stronger or is she going to maintain this level? In the last year, comparing the july rankings, has only improved 27 points.> If she "only" improves 27 points per year, then when she turns 20, she will "only" be rated about 2725. Heh. |

| autobezerk: http://www.chessbase.com/espanola/n... ¡Así fue Villarrobledo 2009!
A menudo los torneos los ganan los valientes y eso fue lo que ocurrió en la XXIV edición del Torneo Internacional de Ajedrez de Villarrobledo, disputado los días 25 y 26 de julio. El joven de origen letón y nacionalizado alemán Arkadij Naiditsch consiguió la victoria sin necesidad de desempate. Y es que en la última ronda frenó la ambición de Ruslan Ponomariov, que ya sabe lo que es ganar este torneo, con el Ataque Keres de la variante Scheveningen de ña Siciliana, al mismo tiempo que Vadim Milov y Ni Hua pactaban tablas en el primer tablero, dejando de esa forma todo el protagonismo para el alemán. |

| akhc: 4.5/6. Just 1/2 point behind the leaders. However she's still only performing on par with her rating as a result of playing lower ranked opposition and she's playing yet another IM rated 2498 in the next round. Would be nice to see a strong finish in the last 3 rounds and pick up a few rating points running into NH. |

 |

| Ghost of Merlin: I won't be surprised if she could make it to the second round. She has the talent to make it. |
