| Sep-17-14 | | FairyPromotion: It should be pointed out that ATM there are 6 different players over <2790> on the live ratings list, all of them from different countries. I think this is great for chess! |
|
| Sep-17-14 | | makaveli52: Yeah, Caruana and Nakamura are playing the next two Grand Prix events in Baku and Tashkent. But maybe having American citizenship and playing in Tehran is worse. |
|
| Sep-17-14 | | muradov: There have been 4 rounds so far. How come some players have 5-6 different games listed? |
|
| Sep-17-14 | | RubinSteinitz: <SirRuthless: Also my favorite event iof the year, the Tal Memorial, will be stripped of many star players due to it's being right in-between the two GPs. It almost seems to be by design. The West Asian chess mafia has spoken.> I totally agree with you Sir. It seems there is a new gang in town. The old and respected masters are falling by the wayside. Driven off the road to avoid being trampled by fat wallet corporations after a name of their own. A shame. The Tal name should take president over any other venue. ♙ |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | Chess for life: MVL is playing the Scotch against Michael Adams...Interesting coincidence, what with the current political situation in the UK! |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | Jim Bartle: Nice catch! |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | makaveli52: Nice mate in Blomqvist-Nepomniachtchi. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | boz: Caruana seems to be winning again. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | Strongest Force: Fab is as "bad" as he wants to be. He is chewing-up gm's like pacman. He's a bad mother-f-er! He will be first to go over 2900. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | makaveli52: Caruana is the new Botvinnik. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | boz: Caruana is the new bad. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | notyetagm: European Club Cup (2014) Caruana wins again.

| Sep-18-14 | | notyetagm: Someone at chessbomb just said that after today's win Caruana is just 20(!) points behind Carlsen on the live rating list. Unreal. Carlsen used to have like an 80-90 point gap over World #2. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | Absentee: <notyetagm: Unreal. Carlsen used to have like an 80-90 point gap over World #2.> Unless I have some serious long-term memory issues, Carlsen's largest gap over n.2, at the time Aronian, was around 60 points. |

 | | alexmagnus: <Carlsen used to have like an 80-90 point gap over World #2.> His biggest one on an official list was 74, in October 2013. |
|
Sep-18-14
| | alexmagnus: And, no. 2 back then was Kramnik btw. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | notyetagm: <alexmagnus: <Carlsen used to have like an 80-90 point gap over World #2. His biggest one on an official list was 74, in October 2013.> >On the Live Rating list I was thinking Aronian was around 2802 when Carlsen hit 2882 or something back in April, which is 80 points. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | Absentee: <notyetagm: On the Live Rating list I was thinking Aronian was around 2802 when Carlsen hit 2882 or something back in April, which is 80 points.> Yeah, I was talking about live ratings, but I seem to remember Aronian was around 2830 at the time. Does 2700chess or some similar site keep a snapshot of past live ratings? |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | boz: Hard to believe Aronian is number 6 on the live list. The times they are a-changin'. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | notyetagm: <boz: Hard to believe Aronian is number 6 on the live list. The times they are a-changin'.> Aronian has done fairly poorly since the Candidate Tournament. And by that I mean played well below 2800-level. Aronian has not been the same since he lost that first round game in the Candidates against Anand: Anand vs Aronian, 2014. |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | boz: <notyetagm> He's still young so that could change overnight but, yes, Aronian has definitely slipped. Still super strong, of course, but missing the finer edge. |

 | | Chessgames Bookie: Betting on round 6 is now open:
ECCC rd 6: Malakhit-SOCAR
ECCC rd 6: Novy Bor-Huginn +3.5
European Chess Club Cup: WINNER: IN-PLAY
Good luck! |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | latvalatvian: I can see Grisnick is following the iron bound rules set down by Steinitz |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | anandrulez: <Absentee: <notyetagm: On the Live Rating list I was thinking Aronian was around 2802 when Carlsen hit 2882 or something back in April, which is 80 points.>
Yeah, I was talking about live ratings, but I seem to remember Aronian was around 2830 at the time. Does 2700chess or some similar site keep a snapshot of past live ratings?> top40chess.com does , there is a bar on top which you could scroll for historical ratings . |
|
| Sep-18-14 | | anandrulez: <Chess for life: MVL is playing the Scotch against Michael Adams...Interesting coincidence, what with the current political situation in the UK!> And it would have so much more ironic had it been a Scottish GM playing Scotch vs Mickey . But the fact is Scotland doesn't have good GM's , one reason why I think the should really be happy being part of the UK / Britain . |
