| Oct-17-16 | | dumbgai: IIRC Kasparov also never played in the Russian Superfinals until near the end of his career when he finally entered (and won). |
|
| Oct-17-16 | | tuttifrutty: This is a laughable line up. No Karjakin, Kramnik and Wesley whipping boy Nepo... It's like left over from an eat all you can buffet. Nothing to look forward to but a circus show. Another snoozer to put if frankly. Take you pillows and blankets, you all are going to need it. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Yes, Sir!!! I'd rather watch the Vikings go 6-0. I told you all before, a tourney without Wesley is no tourney at all. |
|
| Oct-17-16 | | Nina Myers: idiocy at its best |
|
| Oct-18-16 | | whiteshark: Rd 3: 6 draws |
|
| Oct-18-16 | | diagonal: <Kasparov also never played in the Russian Superfinals until near the end of his career when he finally entered (and won)> That made an important distinction, Kasparov has already been / is a National Champion back from the USSR, he later never played in the Russian Superfinals until in Nov-Dec 2004 (Kramnik withdrew for health reasons after Kasparov entered the line-up): Garry Kasparov won unbeaten by 1.5 points at impressive + 5 (11 players competing), ahead of Grischuk as clear second, Dreev third, followed by Morozevich, Motylev, Svidler, Bareev, etc., a few months before announcing his retirement. Vladimir Kramnik played several National Championships, but never won - so far. |
|
| Oct-18-16 | | diagonal: "Too much stress" (that's a good one!) and "other business commitments", re-reading from RUS-ch 57th 2004: https://en.chessbase.com/post/confi... <The "Super Final" of the 57th Russian Championship started with very high expectations. Two qualification championships were held earlier this year in St. Petersburg and Tomsk, the three top scorers earned the right to play in the Super Final. These six were Alexey Dreev, Vitaly Tseshkovsky, Vladimir Epishin, Alexander Motylev, Artyom Timofeev, Alexey Korotylev. They were to be joined by the seven top GMs in Russia: Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik, Alexander Morozevich, Peter Svidler, Evgeny Bareev, Alexander Grischuk and Anatoly Karpov.> .. <On Monday night news broke that Vladimir Kramnik would not participate. The classical chess world champion handed in a doctor's letter which said that he had been under too much stress and would not be able to play in any tournament for two months. That reduced the number of players to an even twelve. On Saturday night we were told by contacts close to the organisation committee that Anatoly Karpov has dropped out as well, due to other business commitments.> Just because Gazza arrived.. |
|
| Oct-19-16 | | notyetagm: <HeMateMe: Is that possible? VK has never won the Russian national championship?> Wow, that is an *incredible* chess trivia question. Q. How many times did World Champion Vladimir Kramnik win the Russian championship? A. Zero. Not even once. |
|
| Oct-19-16 | | Pedro Fernandez: <<notyetagm>: <HeMateMe: Is that possible? VK has never won the Russian national championship?>
Wow, that is an *incredible* chess trivia question. Q. How many times did World Champion Vladimir Kramnik win the Russian championship? A. Zero. Not even once.> Humm, still I was not born, but my father and G.father told me (and I read) that at the times of the National Soviet Chess Championship if the World Champion arrived at the fifth spot (say), it was a triumph! Apparently those World Champions afraid that magnum "eventus". |

 | | HeMateMe: pretty tidy, so far. Wins have been hard to come by. |
|
| Oct-19-16 | | Pedro Fernandez: Fedoseev and Oparin look competent chess players. It is not because they are at this moment as the leaders, but because I think they have the sufficient talent. They need to prove that anyway. |
|
| Oct-20-16 | | paavoh: Three wins in round 5. |
|
Oct-20-16
 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: After five rounds, literally half the field remains tied for first. Someone will have to decide that the time has come to win this thing. |
|
| Oct-20-16 | | Howard: Ya sure it's not six (not five) who are tied for first ? Not that it's all that important. |
|
| Oct-21-16 | | whiteshark: After 6 rounds there are 6 (tied) leaders w/ +1. Tomorrow is a rest day. |
|
| Oct-21-16 | | fisayo123: Classic Russian Championships. Countless draws.... |
|
Oct-21-16
 | | plang: 10 decisive games in 36 is not an unusually low amount for a tournament of this strong particularly given that there are no "easy marks". |
|
| Oct-22-16 | | Mr. V: Rather pathetic that there has been no Chessbase coverage on this since round two |
|
| Oct-22-16 | | PhilFeeley: Wow. Low win/draw ratio. |
|
| Oct-23-16 | | whiteshark: Round 7 with six (all) draws. |
|
| Oct-23-16 | | tuttifrutty: Time to take a nap. This tourney is a bore. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ/ |
|
| Oct-23-16 | | Calli: Fischer might've been right about them playing for draws among themselves. :=) |
|
| Oct-23-16 | | Howard: Regarding Mr. V's comment, there's still time for that website to "catch up" as far as coverage. |
|
| Oct-23-16 | | Conrad93: The number of draws is a bit annoying. |
|
| Oct-23-16 | | lost in space: And now? Who won? |
|
| Oct-24-16 | | lost in space: or is it not jet over? |
