Jul-15-07  Mameluk: I thought the games just started?!
Jul-15-07  Pulse: I think Bu can eventually win this, although the process will probably be long and arduous. Miton has a superior position against Sandipan, and I wouldn't be surprised if he won.
Jul-15-07  yalie: <trapdor: Indian GM Sandipan and Swiss GM Milov finish first (tied) with 8/10.>

are you sure? is there a transmission delay? from the monroi site games are still going on.

Jul-15-07  Pulse: 34...Qb5 in Milov-Bu seems strange to me. Qxe3 looked stronger and more appropriate as Bu has a large time advantage and Milov needs to be very careful in the ensuing endgame, where black's g5 pawn can become very dangerous. Still, I guess with 1st place at stake, Bu felt it was better to play it safe.
Jul-15-07  chessmoron: <Pulse> Bu Xiangzhi is winning. Milov blundered.
Jul-15-07  Pulse: Bu wins! Congratulations to him!
Jul-15-07  chessmoron: Bu Xiangzhi wins. 8/10. Milton vs Chanda: http://www.monroi.com/wdc/flashview...

Please draw. HEHE!

Jul-15-07  Pulse: Chanda is defending very well. Miton needs to be careful not to overextend.
Jul-15-07  hitman84: Congrats to Bu and <chessmoron> :) Looks like Chanda is winning.
Jul-15-07  chessmoron: I hope that Milton sees Qg3! and not to worry about the horse. If 38...fxe5? 39 Qxg7+ Bf7 40 Rd7+! and getting the Queen.
Jul-15-07  hitman84: Looks like Milton found a better move. He played Bd7.
Jul-15-07  Pulse: Uh oh. I think 38. Bd7 was bad. Chanda should now have two pieces for the rook, although for the moment the rook is more active. I'm not sure how long that will last, though.
Jul-15-07  chessmoron: <hitman84> But I feel that Chanda's ♘ and ♗ is superior to the one ♖
Jul-15-07  hitman84: Yes. Chanda will have to coordinate his pieces. Milton will pick up the e5 pawn and with his control over the d file and pawn majority has more winning chances than Chanda.
Jul-15-07  chessmoron: DRAW! Bu Xiangzhi--Winner of 2007 Canadian Open. Good Luck in Biel 2007 next! Go China!
Jul-15-07  yalie: draw in miton-chanda. Bu wins the tourney
Jul-15-07  slomarko: come on guys stop with these <I think>, <I feel>.. you all have the engine running hehe
Jul-15-07  hitman84: Game drawn. Congrats to BU!
Jul-15-07  Pulse: Congratulations to Bu for a well-played tournament. I hope he does well in Biel and gets more rating points. :)
Jul-15-07  Marmot PFL: Looks like Nigel might win the rook ending.
Jul-15-07  arunjangity: niggle won!
Jul-15-07  Marmot PFL: Looked to be a drawn ending but it shows the difference between GM and IM.
Jul-15-07  notyetagm: <chessmoron: DRAW! Bu Xiangzhi--Winner of 2007 Canadian Open. Good Luck in Biel 2007 next! Go China!>

Go Bu! Woohoo! Looks like China may soon have =two= 2700-rated GMs, Bu Xiangzhi and Wang Yue.

Jul-15-07  doremi: Well, there are more than a billion Chinese! On the other hand, almost nobody plays chess in China. They all play Chinese chess which is different from the chess we are talking about here.
Jul-15-07  trapdor: There must be something wrong with the live game website I was looking at. Sorry for the confusing message. But I am more than happy to know Xiangzhi Bu won!!
