Mar-26-06    acirce: Why should Shirov be losing after 34..Nc4 and ..Nxe5 ? Mar-26-06    percyblakeney: <Why should Shirov be losing after 34..Nc4 and ..Nxe5 ?> That's a good question, after letting Shredder look at the position it doesn't come up with anything better for white than a very blocked pawn up. Mar-26-06    percyblakeney: Back to normal with Bologan losing and all other games drawn. Shirov and Dreev still share first place and meet in the last round. Best chance to catch up with them maybe Zvjaginsev has, with white against Sokolov. Mar-27-06    jeremy24: I am ecstatic to see Dreev on top! This guy gives inspiration to french & semi-slav players like myself...He is my favorite Super GM! Mar-27-06    Raskolnikov: Shirov has won against Dreev. Mar-27-06    Mameluk: Congratulation to Shirov who is not my favourite player, because he is responsible for the psycho time control, but watching his games, I almost forget about it. Mar-27-06    percyblakeney: I thought Shirov and Dreev would just secure their shared first place with a draw, well done by Shirov who could be on the way to reach top ten again. Mar-27-06    Jim Bartle: "well done by Shirov who could be on the way to reach top ten again." Good news, but sad that it should be considered so. Shirov was a solid top 5 to 7 for several years. Don't understand why he dropped to high teens. Mar-27-06    alicefujimori: I am glad that Shirov is on his way for a comeback. I still recall how some pathetic people in <chessgames.com> kept attacking his past achievement (beating Kramnik) when he only scored 0.5/9 in a rapid tournament at the beginning of this year. Keep it up, Shirov! Shut those idiots up with results! Mar-27-06    MrSunny: By winning this tournament, Alexei will gain 11.4 elo points. His current 4NCl results will gain him 8.8 elo and Bundesliga 10.6 elo. He will lose 11.0 from Gibtel Masters. 4NCL and Bundesliga will not be finished by the April rating list. Assuming no other games for now, these results will raise him to FIDE 2729.2, equal to 8th in the world. Mar-27-06    acirce: Congratulations to Shirov. It's especially nice to see someone do well again when it's both 1) someone of his great talent 2) someone who was robbed of a WC match. Mar-27-06    Jake Lineman: <MrSunny> How many points will Ponomariov gain ( or lose) Mar-27-06    percyblakeney: Concerning rating changes, Pono will lose one point, Zvjaginsev gains almost eight, Bologan loses seventeen: http://www.europe-echecs.com/articl... Mar-27-06    Resignation Trap: Geez, there were only 15 decisive games in this tournament, and Bologan was involved in eight of them! Mar-27-06    aw1988: <I still recall how some pathetic people in <chessgames.com> kept attacking his past achievement (beating Kramnik) when he only scored 0.5/9 in a rapid tournament at the beginning of this year.> I still recall how some pathetic people in <chessgames.com> kept attacking his past achievement (beating Kasparov) when he came last at Sofia in 2005. Hint, hint hint, hint hint. Hint. Mar-27-06    suenteus po 147: Hmmm.... The standings still show Shirov and Dreev tied for first. They must have finished the final round just a few hours a go. Mar-27-06    aw1988: Shirov has taken clear first, that is official. Mar-27-06    suenteus po 147: <aw1988> I don't doubt what everyone has been kibitzing, but the crosstable at the top does not yet bear it out is all I'm remarking :) Mar-27-06    Jay A. Bacting: i want to play chess online.

Mar-28-06    suenteus po 147: <PinkPanther> I think it's kind of like a Battleship-Champion, only you're a champion underwater :D Also, congratulations to Shirov on a most impressive win. Not a single loss to boot! Mar-28-06    iron maiden: Sad to see Onischuk and Bologan faring so poorly, though.
