120.5 second increments might be even better to deliver quality endgames.> 1205.0 second increments might be even the best. |

| Jul-05-15 | | mrgamebit: Are there any tie-break rules in effect here? |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | tappingfoot: American players won the top two slots! |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | john barleycorn: <tappingfoot> tell it to <jphamlore>. We can also declare the end of time to be the end of the game.... |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | solskytz: <Gphamlore> there is still Botvinnik to contend with (the endgame expert regaining WC title despite advancing age) |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | Kasparov Fan: So fans are "so biased"
well he has to achieve a lot more before being compared to Kasparov.
And yes one more thing I don't hate So but his fans biased views just make me angry and he couldn't beat Hou Yifan lost against naidistch do you think his worthy to be compared with Kasparov. In future maybe but now (laughs) |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | JAMESROOK: Watched the games on Saturday and Sunday. Fantastic - the Chinese girl was unlucky not to win today. Caruana played a beautiful game. Now watching Greek referending results. The Ches was better. |

| Jul-05-15 | | kia0708: Very interesting article.
However, I don't see Robert Fischer in these super-strong tournaments. :-(I see Kasparov won most of them.
<I did find the article using Google. http://bit.ly/1NJGJKW Very interesting article.> |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | Sokrates: Yes, interesting article with some well-reasoned suggestions. It's not without reason that Kasparov and Karpov rank at the top of all-time-best lists. A curiosity that my favorite historic player, Keres, won a merit because of the AVRO (shared with Fine). And let's not forget Anand great results. Evidently too many strong players (and world champions!) didn't get a seat here, so let's not jump to conclusions. |

 | | HeMateMe: Looks like the Fabster has opened up some distance here... |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | ChemMac: Just looking at my previous post. From this, it would seem that Caruana and Nisipeanu performed well above their ratings; So was right on, and all the rest were exactly 0.5 below. Predicted; Result
Fabiano Caruana::4.0;5.5
Wesley So.::4.0;4.0
Liviu Dieter Nisipeanu::3.0;4.0
Vladimir Kramnik::4.0;3.5
Arkadij Naiditsch::3.5:3.0
Ian Nepomniachtchi::3.5:3.0
Georg Meier::3.0:2.5
Hou Yifan::3.0;2.5 |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | devere: George Meier finished tied for last place. But if he had won every winning position, and drawn the game he gifted to Kramnik, he would have finished in first place. It must be frustrating to have the ability to compete with the best players, but not be able to consistently utilize that ability to best advantage. |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | shintaro go: All 2650 players and up have the ability to compete with the top players. As you said, it's all about converting winning positions or not losing drawn games. |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | iking: Penguincw: Final game on the day (Naiditsch-Meier) is drawn after 77 moves and nearly 7 hours of play. 77 moves in 7 hours, in the 7th round and in the 7th month? boeing 777? |

| | AylerKupp: <<fgh> Don't stop there! It was also played during round 7 and in the 7th month of this year!> And today my car reached 111,111 miles. I didn't check the time but I think that it was 11:11 AM. I'm sure that it was not a coincidence. |

| | AylerKupp: <ChemMac> Their TPRs indicate the same thing, as well as how much above and below their ratings they performed. I'm not sure what the official way is to calculate TPRs (if there is one) but this is what I got for each player, with their pre-tournament ratings first, TPR in angle brackets, and the difference between their pre-tournament rating and their TPR based on an older copy of the FIDE handbook (which may no longer be applicable): Caruana 2805 <2932> +127 Hou 2676 <2621> -55
Kramnik 2783 <2716> -67 Meier 2654 <2624> -30 Naiditch 2722 <2667> -55 Nepomniachtchi 2720 <2668> -52 Nisipeau 2654 <2784> +130 So 2778 <2766> -12
Therefore, based on their pre-tournament ratings, Caruana and Nisipeau performed much better than expected, So about as expected, and the rest somewhat less than expected. Does anyone know the current <official> way, if any, that FIDE calculates TPRs? I used the formula RP = RC + D(P) where: RP = Tournament Performance Rating (TPR)
RC = The average rating of the opponents
P = A percentage score; the Number of points scored / Number of games played D(P) = The rating difference indicated by P from the FIDE Performance Rating Table as given in the FIDE Handbook. |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | Wavy: Congrats to Fabiano!
Wesley beat the top guns but lost to lower ranked players. Maybe he should avoid lower rated players and just play against the top guns. |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | Wavy: Can someone explain how the math in chess works? Take for example Fabiano's score, +5-1=1. What kind of math concept was used to arrive at that answer? For Hou, 0-2=5! I must be absent in class when this was taught or I was sleeping in class when this was taught. |
