 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Three non-qualifiers made the top 10 this year (according to the current standings), with a fourth in 11th place and a fifth who was actually in the lead at one point. It's not at all impossible, or even ridiculously difficult, to catch up... if you're competent, that is. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Not at all impossible, not ridiculously difficult, but still unfair. As for the people who make it, sure, the field has so many entrants viz the qualifiers that some can sneak in. I realize this is all all academic, since I see little chance of it changing. As for competence, well, I guess my 1000 was a bit better than your negative 28,000. |

| Apr-14-14 | | dakgootje: 246th place?
By the time they've worked out all discrepancies, you'll make top-10! :) -- Speaking of which guys:
Don't want to rush you, but the 20th the Gashimov memorial starts with a line-up of <Carlsen, Caruana, Nakamura, Karjakin, Mamedyarov, Radjabov>. So it'd be nice to start the new leg with that tournament if possible. |
