|
| Apr-04-10 | | Cushion: Ivanchuk! |
|
| Apr-04-10 | | whiteshark: I wouldn't dream of posting sth. like that.
Go Economists, ftw! |
|
| Apr-05-10 | | notyetagm: <Sularus: GO GRISCHUK !!> Two losses for Grischuk in three games. :-(
Russian Team Championships (2010)/Alexander Grischuk |
|
| Apr-05-10 | | Don Cossacks: The Russian Wooden Hadron Collider is for real!!! |
|
| Apr-05-10 | | percyblakeney: Just like Grischuk Ivanchuk isn't having a good event, apart from the loss against Pono he has all draws against opponents with a considerably lower rating. |
|
| Apr-05-10 | | percyblakeney: Potkin gave Caruana a Monday puzzle with 30. Re1:

|
| Apr-05-10 | | kurtrichards: <Potkin-Caruana> 30. Re1?? and an easy win for Caruana with 30...Qc1+ mating. Maybe 30. Rb4 would hold. |

| Apr-05-10 | | wolfmaster: Where is Nakamura? |
|
| Apr-05-10 | | ajile: <wolfmaster: Where is Nakamura?> Seriously. I thought anyone could play here. In fact how come I wasn't invited? |
|
| Apr-05-10 | | redwhitechess: Actually how many team the elites get invited? for example Ivanchuck seems everywhere (in team playing). |
|
| Apr-06-10 | | larsen959: Forza (GO) Caruana!! ;-) |
|
| Apr-06-10 | | kurtrichards: <Forza (GO) Caruana!! ;-)> Double thumbs up. |

 | | HeMateMe: A comment from Natalie Pogonina:
"...in the men's section there are sixteen 2700+ players, that's about 50 percent of all grandmasters of that caliber in the world. Their games are something to be considered." That does put things in perspective. Its a great event. |
|
| Apr-07-10 | | Harvestman: Movsesian seems to be playing a Leningrad Dutch sort of set-up, with a tempo extra as white. Interesting choice. By the way, is it just me, or are there fewer Sicilian openings being played at the top level these days? |
|
| Apr-07-10 | | Sularus: ^^
I think it is also because at the highest levels, 1. d4 is played more often nowadays. I am not sure about this though. It is my own hunch. |

| | Troller: Earlier, Nepom won yet another game, this time as Black against Kovchan. He has been playing on a very consistent high level lately and should break the 2700 barrier pretty soon if he keeps it up. |
