Jul-31-08  Magnusch: There was 37 Qxc6 Nxc6 before Bh6 I think.
Jul-31-08  solskytz: This is what Waitzkin calls "the psychological connection" - one player misses something obvious, his opponent 'believing' him and not seeing that as well. That's kind of queer though in the 2700's with a hanging Q
Jul-31-08  Aspirador: Why is Dom champ? There's another game, right?
Jul-31-08  solskytz: yes, but Boomie gives no Q-exchange in his score
Jul-31-08  malthrope: <Microdot: At move 37.Qxc6,Nxc6 was played.>

Thanks for being so <exact> - Microdot! :)

Jul-31-08  Sergius64: Alright, here comes game 4.
Jul-31-08  17.Bxg7: <malthrope: Draw! GM Leiner Dominguez is the new Biel Chess Champion 2008! :)>

I am rooting for that but probably you are confused with respect to the rules. Another blitz game is needed and in case of draw, the armageddon game.

Jul-31-08  randzo: i hope for armagedon game omg this is chess orgasm
Jul-31-08  percyblakeney: Well, since it's gone this far why not have an Armageddon game as well :-)
Jul-31-08  Aspirador: They should introduce the new "Armogasm" rules!

  chancho: Hopefully the current game will decide...
Jul-31-08  malthrope: <17.Bxg7: <malthrope: Draw! GM Leiner Dominguez is the new Biel Chess Champion 2008! :)> I am rooting for that but probably you are confused with respect to the rules. Another blitz game is needed and in case of draw, the armageddon game.>

You sure? Two Rapid Games and only one armageddon game. ;)

Jul-31-08  Sergius64: I feel pity for these 2 guys, armageddon is such a nerve wrecking thing with this much on the line. Remember the USA's women's championship this year and how many bad feelings were left afterwards?
Jul-31-08  Sergius64: He's right Malthrope, they're playing 4th game right now.
Jul-31-08  DCP23: <malthrope: You sure? Two Rapid Games and only one armageddon game. ;)>

Yeah but two blitz games in-between.

Jul-31-08  Aspirador: Mal,

Jul-31-08  percyblakeney: I'd bet on Alekseev here.
Jul-31-08  malthrope: <DCP23: <malthrope: You sure? Two Rapid Games and only one armageddon game. ;)> Yeah but two blitz games in-between.>

and... <Sergius64>

I thought it was just 3 games! <sheepish grin> Great more CHESS! :^)

  chancho: Methinks Alekseev will prevail.
Jul-31-08  Sergius64: There's no way this one will draw, too unbalanced.
Jul-31-08  Aspirador: This year's Biel will decided in an aerogasm.
Jul-31-08  malthrope: <Aspirador: Mal>

Yeah thanks <Aspirador> - these tiebreaks go soooo fast... I'm on game #4 now! ;)

Jul-31-08  randzo: now allekseev must playon time
