| Jan-02-16 | | kamagong24: Happy New Year! |
|
| Jan-03-16 | | Nosnibor: The table is not correct as Romanishin beat Byron although it is shown has a draw here. BTW Happy New Year to all at CG.com and all it`s readers. |
|
| Jan-03-16 | | sonia91: <Nosnibor> I've just submitted a correction slip. |
|
| Jan-03-16 | | PhilFeeley: Lots of folks here we don't get to see very often. |
|
| Jan-03-16 | | PhilFeeley: Our Ginger GM's rating has really dropped. He's at 2439 now. |

| Jan-03-16 | | diagonal: Thanks <PhilFeeley> Hastings has been going on for 3 different centuries! Today the Hastings Winter Congress is played as an Open; the top shots are missing, new open events are rising as Qatar, Las Vegas Millionaire Chess or the established Gibraltar, Aeroflot Moscow, and the traditional Reykjavik, to name only a few. There are many more festivals in swiss system all over the world, especially between Christmas and New Year's Eve. But Hastings has history, a modern homepage with daily up-dates and live commentary during the event, and apparently with Tradewise a new sponsor, the series should have revival as a major event, possibly maybe.., hopefully! Hastings Series with Christmas Winter and Summer Congresses (http://www.chessdiagonals.ch/402840...), has seen eleven out of sixteen undisputed World Chess Champion playing, namely: Steinitz (considered as 1st World Chess Champion)
Lasker
CAPABLANCA
ALEKHINE
EUWE
BOTVINNIK
SMYSLOV
TAL
Petrosian
SPASSKY
KARPOV
Every World Chess Champion before Garry Kasparov except Bobby Fischer played at Hastings, making it a total of eleven Champs. A record only rivalled by Beverwijk / Wijk aan Zee (Hoogovens, Corus, Tata Steel) which has seen so far – you guess it, also eleven Undisputed World Chess Champions: EUWE
BOTVINNIK
Smyslov
TAL
PETROSIAN
SPASSKY
KARPOV
KASPAROV
KRAMNIK
ANAND
CARLSEN (considered as 16th World Chess Champion)
In capital letters: player is winning or co-winning the corresponding tournament at least once. Btw.: There are 17 players winning both of these annually long-running traditional invitation tournaments of the second half of the twentieth century, Hastings and Beverwijk / Wijk aan Zee. |

| Jan-03-16 | | Octavia: I like Chris Ward's comments on the Hastings website - he's cheerful & doesn't mind making mistakes to encourage his life audience to contribute :) |

 | | xenophon: Didn't Romanishin win Hastings sometime in the 1970s ahead of Symslov, though losing to hin on the black side of a closed Silician in their individual encounter.
I seem to remember Chess Magazine being the "tournament" book that month.
Showing my age when memories start flooding back. |
|
| Jan-04-16 | | Bruce Graham: <xenophon> Yes, Romanishin won the 1976-7 Hastings tournament by two points. Here is the game they played which Romanishin won: Romanishin vs Smyslov, 1977
The Sicilian loss was played at the USSR Championship of 1976: Smyslov vs Romanishin, 1976 |

 | | offramp: Danny Gormally is playing the famous mockney Simon ""Kim"" Williams now. Williams seems a bit better, sadly. |
|
Jan-04-16
| | offramp: And in fact Gormally has resigned to his friend the mockney. No doubt they'll have a few drinky-poos together. Gormally is not having a good tournament. He says, in his "tweets" that he was expecting to approach 2550 but instead is playing like 2400. He also writes that 2500 is a nothing rating nowadays! And he comments that when he looks at the play from the recent Qatar Masters his mind boggles at the incredible accuracy of those top players. |

Nice to see the legend Oleg Romanishin (born in 1952) still playing and fighting in an Open Festival at the top boards (he beat among others Simon Williams, see: Romanishin vs S Williams, 2015, today a loss vs. Igor Khenkin). 1977 was the best year for Oleg Romanishin, he was ranked third in the annual Chess Oscar Award, only behind Karpov and Korchnoi, ahead of 4. Tal, 5. Miles, 6. Larsen, 7. Spassky, 8. Hort, 9. Portisch, 10. Petrosian. Biggest success of Oleg Romanishin: Leningrad International (October Revolution 60th Anniversary) 1977, winning (as best on tie-break) together with Tal, ahead of clear third Smyslov, followed by 4./5. Vaganian and Karpov, then reigning World Chess Champion:

| Jan-04-16 | | devere: <diagonal: Hastings has been going on for 3 different centuries!> The name "Hastings" is a famous one in chess history, and it would be nice if it could be restored to its former glory. Perhaps part of the 2017 Hastings chess congress could be designated as the Pillsbury memorial tournament, and either the General Mills or Smucker companies, which own the Pillsbury brand name, could be talked into becoming sponsors. |
|
| Jan-05-16 | | Clemens Scheitz: <Fishy>, What pleasure is there in belittling a champion who is admired by all great players for his general achievements and notably for having an unsurpassed understanding of the game ( not to mention one that put a considerable dose of uneasiness and doubt in the mind of the mighty Fisher). |
|
| Jan-05-16 | | Nosnibor: Go Glenn go ! Would love to see you win this one. |
|
| Jan-05-16 | | Octavia: <What pleasure is there in belittling a champion> & what's more, Karpov is still playing & Kasparov hopped out ages ago |
|
| Jan-05-16 | | Tiggler: <Fishy: <diagonal : 1977 was the best year for Oleg Romanishin, he was ranked third in the annual Chess Oscar Award, only behind Karpov and Korchnoi, ahead of 4. Tal, 5. Miles, 6. Larsen, 7. Spassky, 8. Hort, 9. Portisch, 10. Petrosian.> Those were a bunch of over the hill dudes mostly, just proves that until Kasparov came along Karpov was beating on Drums.> Karpov, Korchnoi, Miles, Larsen, Hort and Portisch were all at or near their best in 1977, and all were great players. |
|
| Jan-05-16 | | siggemannen: So, who's the winner here? |
|
| Jan-05-16 | | PhilFeeley: < siggemannen: So, who's the winner here? > My question exactly. The official site has no announcement yet, but the standings lists Mista on top with the higher tie-break, I think. I don't know why there is no notification of the winner there yet. No other site discusses it either (chess-results lists Mista on top, TWIC also, but nothing on chessbase). Why is this so hard? Winners are known right away, aren't they? |
|
| Jan-06-16 | | siggemannen: <PhilFeeley> strange, according to http://chess-results.com/tnr201785.... , Jahongir is on top? But yeah, it's annoying about the winners, especially chessgames tables being mostly always wrong :) |

 | | Check It Out: <offramp> what's a "mockney"? |
|
Jan-06-16
| | offramp: <Check It Out: <offramp> what's a "mockney"?> In England, a man who speaks in a pretend Cockney accent. Highly-educated people from wealthy families affect a "street" speaking style, pretending that they cannot say, for example, "three" ("free") or "thought" ("fort"). It is very funny to hear a University-educated man from England's richest county pretending to speak like a tramp off the Balls Pond Road. |
