| Oct-07-13 | | Shams: Love the format-- five players means the players get rest days, but the audience doesn't. Perfect. |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | waustad: I wonder of they'll have commentary by the bye like they did in London. I guess we'll find out later this morning. |

| Oct-07-13 | | virginmind: No live video? |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | Marmot PFL: It looked like Nisipeanu had a perp but Caruana escaped. Even so Nisi has 3 pawns for the knight. |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | virginmind: That knight sac on h6? It's all theory :) |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | jphamlore: Nisipeanu and Caruana might wind up a R vs R+N endgame? |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | csmath: This Grunfeld by Nisipeanu is following Grischuk attempt against Carlsen. I wonder what Nisipeanu had in mind as "improvement." As soon as Fabiano deviated Nisipeanu got himself into worse position. Aggressive but also unimpressive opening. |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | Marmot PFL: A win pushes Caruana back ahead of Kramnik, if only for a day. |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | Marmot PFL: Anyway Caruana making this ending look quite easy. |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | jphamlore: Caruana had the best training he could find from former Soviet trainers in Europe. Squeezing out these wins in the endgame is basically his profession. |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | SirRuthless: Looks like Nisipeanu missed a forced draw by perpetual. Too bad for him but he was clearly outclassed. What is a 2600 doing in this event with these big dogs? |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | jphamlore: <SirRuthless: What is a 2600 doing in this event with these big dogs?> Because the country hosting the event needed a grandmaster from that country? |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | dumbgai: Nisi is 2674, so the rating difference between him and Radja/Wang is less than the difference between those guys and Caruana. In every tournament, somebody has to be the lowest rated player. It's not like he's 200 Elo points below everyone else. |
|
| Oct-08-13 | | SirRuthless: <jphamlore> Thanks for the straight answer. <dumbgai> I dont think the rating difference math works at the highest levels. Radja and Wang Hao have shown themselves to be in the top echelon along with Fab. Nisi is in a down period atm but to suggest he is in the class of the others based on rating difference is not rigorous. Given Radjabov's form over the past several months, perhaps you have a point. Wang looked uninspired at Paris GP so maybe this event is simply going to be an opportunity for Caruana who does appear to be on form, to collect some points. Good for him. Hope he gets a WC out of it over Radja or some Russian. |

|
| Oct-09-13 | | virginmind: That was pretty cool from Nisi. Is it possible that Wang didn't see the intermediate 24.Bxa5 when he took with the queen on e4? Then 34.Rxc5 hm...I wonder how long did it take white to calculate he's winning anyway (I wasn't following live). |
|
| Oct-10-13 | | csmath: I don't understand Wang Hao.
In the game with Caruana he plays unambitious opening real fast, simplifies everything and get absolutely nothing out of the opening. As a matter of fact he will have slightly worse ending. Now he started thinking longer as if he is asking himself a question "why did I do that."
You cannot have a good result that way. |
|
| Oct-10-13 | | RedShield: There are, currently, two types of chess events: those featuring Magnus Carlsen, those that do not. |
|
| Oct-10-13 | | SirRuthless: <csmath> He is out of form right now. He is much better than the level he is playing at right now. His endgame technique is the only thing keeping him from losing most of his games. |
|
| Oct-14-13 | | fisayo123: <redshield> Hopefully, you appreciate watching entertaining chess in general as Carlsen chess is a little boring. |
|
| Oct-14-13 | | virginmind: Looks like Caruana will not be stopped winning this one. |
|
| Oct-14-13 | | Arcturar: Caruana not being in the next Candidates would be a real shame...the guy has almost broken 2800 again and was preposterously close to qualifying via Grand Prix. Grischuk will be the probable nominee and I like his play, but he has already ruined so many title chances. It seems like it would be fairer to give this Caruana kid a chance, with the way he's been playing the last year. |
