| Jan-06-12 | | JoergWalter: <vanytchouck: A new student for Garry (specially when you compare the style) ?> well, he doesn't need a coach that was already fired 2 times. I guess sponsors are not willing to burn their money. Karpov to learn from or Kramnik would be more helpful. |

 | | SteinitzLives: Giri deserves the credit for the timeliness of his good play, and knowing when to draw. He is just a kid, good things are on the horizon for him no doubt. |

|
| Jan-06-12 | | Namawiz: An unprecedented turn of events. Congratulations giri. Vitiugov and ivanchuk get sweet wins. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | JoergWalter: Giri displayed great play, coolness and cleverness.
Something Ivanchuk (my personal favourite) will not achieve in a 100 years. With regret or relief that is just him. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | Ezzy: Fascinating tournament! Congrats to Giri for the biggest win of his career. What an amazing comeback after losing 2 games early on. Sometimes it's easy to make negative comments too soon. After Giri's defeat against Nakamura, 'The Week in Chess' States - <<"Anish Giri seems out of form> and he made at least a couple of important tactical miscalculations on the way to losing on the white side of a King's Indian to Hikaru Nakamura, who shares the lead with Ivanchuk on 8 points"> It shows a lot of charachter to 'dig deep' when things start badly for you in a tournament, but 'hats off' to Giri who made a memorable comeback to win a very strong tournament! We've had it all - A great comeback from Giri, a meltdown from Chucky, A mega collapse by Nakamura, and victories in the final round by the 'tail enders' who stopped the tournament victory going to the two leaders. A remarkable end to the chess year!! |

 | | maturner: The percentage of wins in this tournament was incredible. Congrats to Giri for a tremendous victory. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | TheFocus: The ones who bet on Giri to win are nodding their heads knowingly as they collect their winnings. The rest of us are tearing out our hair.
I lost all four bets this round. (So did a lot of others!!) And on borrowed money at that. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | wordfunph: looking forward to 2012-13 Reggio Emilia, players fought like hungry gladiators eh! i congratulate all the players and the organizer for the fantastic dog-eats-dog games. congratulations to GM Anish, bravo! |

| Jan-06-12 | | parmetd: Focus, how can you borrow money for the chessbookie? |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | JoergWalter: <TheFocus> you may have lost your bets but you saved the money for a haircut and trimming the beard.
The "borrowed money" part is the sad part. Will you get your legs broken? |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | TheFocus: <parmetd>< Focus, how can you borrow money for the chessbookie?> Go to <Loan Shark> on the Chess Bookie page. <JoergWalter> <TheFocus> <you may have lost your bets but you saved the money for a haircut and trimming the beard.> No, I have been shaving them myself for a whe now.
<The "borrowed money" part is the sad part. Will you get your legs broken?> I don't think so. He's had his eye on my sister for a while. I have to set up a date and pay for the meal. |

| Jan-06-12 | | waustad: That was quite a turnaround for the youngsters. Early on it looked like they were getting schooled, but they came back to get first and equal second. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | JoergWalter: <TheFocus> take them out to Pizza Hut. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | JoergWalter: <waustad: That was quite a turnaround for the youngsters. Early on it looked like they were getting schooled, but they came back to get first and equal second.> learning fast and young.
Caruana deserves appreciation as well |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | TheFocus: <JoergWalter> <TheFocus> <take them out to Pizza Hut.> I'm not invited. I am just the go-between.
He thinks he will get lucky. I KNOW he will. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | JoergWalter: <TheFocus> Knowledge is power. |

|
| Jan-06-12 | | AlphaMale: What happened to Nakamura? He was +4 last time I looked. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | virginmind: congratulations to anish giri! excellent result! |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | messachess: There were bright spots for everyone in this tournament: a brilliancy from Ivanchuk.--(any others?) Of course, this is a monumental achievement for Giri and Carauna. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | twinlark: Interesting final round. Seeing the raw scores I expected Giri's game to be the last to finish when he saw the results on the other board, but quite the opposite, his was the first while the other two ground on for hours with unfortunate results for his hapless rivals. Well done Giri! Hope there's a lot more to come from this talented player. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | notyetagm: Thank you, GM Giri!
