Jun-06-13 | | paavoh: Wow, first here! |
|
Jun-06-13 | | schweigzwang: Cool, Karpov is playing. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Topa is playing a lot, these days. New mortgage to pay for? |
|
Jun-06-13 | | anandrulez: Congrats paavoh. Topalov playing good nice. Sergey lost to Eljanov his countryman from Ukraine. |
|
Jun-06-13 | | Conrad93: Kiev is not in Russia...
Dear God, ChessGames.com, it is the capital of Ukraine. Do people still have trouble telling the two countries apart? |
|
Jun-06-13 | | Reisswolf: Dear <ChessGames.com>: I completely agree with <Conrad93>. It is <unacceptable> for you to make such an error. Love,

Jun-06-13 | | fisayo123: <Reisswolf> We all see what you did there :) |
|
Jun-07-13 | | Conrad93: <We all see what you did there > He didn't do anything. |
|
Jun-07-13 | | jancotianno: I would have loved to see Karpov winning this tournament. |
|
Jun-07-13 | | geeker: Karjakin wins!
I enjoyed seeing Karpov and hoped for at least an even score - funny that the 3...Qd6 Scandinavian was his preferred Black system (2 draws and two losses :-( ) |
|
Jun-07-13 | | ajile: <Conrad93: Kiev is not in Russia... Dear God, ChessGames.com, it is the capital of Ukraine. Do people still have trouble telling the two countries apart?> The real problem is that nobody has played the Leningrad Dutch yet. Unacceptable. |
|
Jun-07-13 | | mindanalyzer: I agree with you <KKDEREK>; Definitely Leko is the master of draws, 6 freaking draws out of 9 games in RAPID!!! Jeesshhh |
|
Jun-07-13 | | Arcturar: Too bad Karpov didn't do well this time, although it warms my heart to see how much aupport he has, lol. And gratz to Karjakin! What a clutch performance to catch Topalov! He isn't World Rapid Champ for nothing! |

 | | perfidious: <The real problem is that nobody has played the Leningrad Dutch yet. Unacceptable.> If someone starts referring to it as the St Petersburg or Petrograd Dutch, what then? Someone should have invited Malaniuk and we would have our fix of the Leningrad. Sometimes the PC crap, come to obsession over utmost precision of nomenclature, can be a bother, to say the least. |
|
Jun-07-13 | | ajile: <perfidious: Someone should have invited Malaniuk and we would have our fix of the Leningrad.> Does he even play anymore in tournaments like this? I would love to see him in some Leningrad Dutch 7..Qe8 games against top current GM's. http://nezhmet.wordpress.com/2008/0... |
|
Jun-08-13 | | parmetd: It is funny that Naiditsch's two wins were both black and one of them against the immobile Leko. |
|
Jun-08-13 | | Eyal: Heh – I remember that Alex Yermolinsky, who was doing daily round reports for ICC during the Grand Prix, started to wax nostalgic for several minutes of Malaniuk and the Dutch when he came to talk about Kasimdzhanov vs Kamsky, 2013. |
|
Jun-08-13 | | QueentakesKing: Again, my bold prediction--Karjakin is the next K!!! |
|
Jun-08-13 | | QueentakesKing: Karpov is playing<*****>5 stars! |
|
Jun-08-13 | | QueentakesKing: Can some chess- loving rich billionaires chip in for a couple of sessions of brain stem cell therapy for Anatoly! I want the 'old' Anatoly back. |
|
Jun-08-13 | | Octavia: <Conrad93: Kiev is not in Russia... Dear God, ChessGames.com, it is the capital of Ukraine. Do people still have trouble telling the two countries apart?> how come nobody told these good people that young Karjakin is from the Ukraine? Congratulations for winning it !!! |

 | | kingfu: Karpov needs to dump the Scandinavian and get back to 1... c6. Interesting note in Karjakin's bio: It says he is Ukrainian but a citizen of Russia. |
|
Jun-08-13
 | | PawnSac: If he'd lay off the Scandinavian he would have a better showing. |
|
Jun-08-13 | | Jason Frost: So Caruana is American and Nakamura Japanese?! |
|
Jun-09-13 | | messachess: I could look it up, but somebody, please, what's the time control here? |
