| Apr-14-16 | | suenteus po 147: According to 365chess there's a Carissa Yip win over Vadislav Kovalev (who was rated 539 points above her at the time) from the 46th American Chess Congress in Philadelphia played on 2015.11.27. I'll see if I can upload it to the database tomorrow. |
|
| Apr-15-16 | | suenteus po 147: Yip-Kovalev has been uploaded! Next, I'll see if I can submit some missing Jennifer R Yu games into the database. 365chess has four of hers not yet found here. |
|
| Apr-15-16 | | MCDreamz: We need some goodie profile pics to liven things up. |
|
| Apr-15-16 | | Mr. V: I'm cheering for Ashritha since she's from my region. |
|
| Apr-15-16 | | Caissanist: Five of the 12 players are 16 or younger, I bet one of them wins. Is the popularity of chess among girls in this country on an upswing? Hope so. |
|
| Apr-15-16 | | jphamlore: Another win for Carissa Yip. |
|
| Apr-16-16 | | Mr. V: A major battle of the prodigies here. But I don't think any of them yet has the skill to steal Krush's title. |
|
| Apr-16-16 | | jphamlore: Tatev Abrahamyan as Black is looking very strong at the moment after a positional error by Carissa Yip. Live and learn. |
|
| Apr-16-16 | | Shams: Poor Melekhina has blundered tragically. |
|
| Apr-16-16 | | Nina Myers: C'est la vie! |
|
| Apr-16-16 | | chesslearning: Fix the standings list. Carissa is listed twice. |
|
| Apr-17-16 | | Shams: <chesslearning> You've been here a dozen years, man. Filling out a correction slip isn't any harder than posting what you did. |
|
| Apr-17-16 | | Conrad93: Carissa's third game isn't showing up... |

 | | eternaloptimist: <Conrad93> Well her 3rd game is listed but CG has 2 entries for her. 1 is Carissa Shiwen Yip & the other 1 is Carissa Yip. Speaking of her, I'm really impressed w/ how she's played so far! She's only 12 years old & she got a draw vs the veteran Abrahamyan yesterday. She was losing that game but she hung in there & got a draw. She became a NM last year (the youngest American female to do so). Her rating is a little below 2200 now though. Btw Lenderman also has 2 entries in the standings. |
|
| Apr-17-16 | | GiuocoPianoMan: Someone please clarify for me- is an IM -male or female- rated higher than a WGM? Where can I see those ratings to understand this? Thanks! |
|
Apr-17-16
 | | alexmagnus: IM: rating of 2400 and three norms (TPR 2450)
WGM: rating of 2300 and three norms (TPR 2400).
So yes, IM is higher. Generally: all W-titles have requirements 200 points lower than the corresponding open titles, f.x. WGM 200 lower than GM. |
|
| Apr-17-16 | | notyetagm: <eternaloptimist: ... Her rating is a little below 2200 now though.> Yip's USCF rating is over 2300.

| Apr-17-16 | | GiuocoPianoMan: <ALEXMAGNUS> Thank you. I thought that was correct- What does TPR stand for? |
|
| Apr-18-16 | | breaker90: <GiuocoPianoMan: <ALEXMAGNUS> Thank you. I thought that was correct- What does TPR stand for?> Tournament Performance Rating. |

| | eternaloptimist: <notyetagm> I was referring to her *FIDE* rating.: https://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml...
USCF ratings are inflated too much once a player's rating gets above 2100 or so...somewhere in that vicinity. I know she got a win vs GM Alexander Ivanov but he's clearly past his prime & he played poorly in that game. She's a talented player but she's not a strong enough player to have a 2300+ rating. |

| | alexmagnus: Why are Yip's games under Carissa Shiwen Yip when she wins and under Carissa Yip when she doesn't? |
|
| Apr-21-16 | | sonia91: cg.com fixed the double entry "Aleksandr Lenderman " and "A Lenderman" in the open section, but not Carissa Yip's double entries in the women's... |
|
| Apr-22-16 | | notyetagm: Melekhina has lost 5 in a row(!) since she failed to win her winning position against Krush in Round 3 A Melekhina vs I Krush, 2016
Rounds 1-3: +0 =2 -1
Rounds 4-8: +0 =0 -5
If she had won her winning position against Krush, she would have been even after three rounds but instead she threw away her crushing position with a blunder at the time control. She seems to be unable to recover her composure after that tragedy now. |
|
| Apr-22-16 | | suenteus po 147: <notyetagm: Melekhina has lost 5 in a row(!)> It's what I've heard called "free fall" when a player is just spiraling into endless defeat. She needs a draw to staunch the bleeding and, as you say, "recover her composure." |

She needs a draw to staunch the bleeding and, as you say, "recover her composure."> This is exactly why the Russians said back in the 60's that Larsen would never become World Champion, because he didn't know how to drain the life out of a position and force the draw. Just imagine if Larsen had been able to force the draw in Games 2 or 4 of his match with Fischer, simply to slow Fischer's momentum. |
