Aug-30-10		MrMelad: Go Norway! :)

Aug-30-10		turbo231: The last game between Judit and Hammer was very exciting.

Aug-30-10		turbo231: Judit might lose several points after this poor performance.

Aug-30-10		crazybird: <turbo231: Judit might lose several points after this poor performance.> Really? :)

Aug-30-10		Pawnsgambit: <crazybird: <turbo231: Judit might lose several points after this poor performance.> Really? :)> thats funny!!! Imagine how many points Anand lost today, LOL

Aug-30-10		hedgeh0g: <Judit might lose several points after this poor performance.> It can only be expected considering her recent inactivity. On a more positive note, however, I think Hammer can be really pleased with his performance in this tournament: a win over the world #1 (almost two!) and a respectable third place considering the level of competition.

Aug-30-10		Valmy: No, Judit won't lose point it was a rapid event.

Aug-30-10		bonniekathosh: This is a rapid tournament. There are no rating points at stake here.

Aug-30-10		TheFocus: Carlsen wins. I lost Chess Bucks.

Aug-30-10		siamesedream: I know Carlsen is great player, but I must say his luck is almost equal to his talent.

Aug-30-10		play2win: How does Carlsen win? I'm sorry I'm in the dark here, only see draws vs. Anand.

Aug-30-10		zarg: Carlsen win by laziness and intuition.

Aug-30-10		play2win: Thanks zarg...perhaps a link to the game in which he displayed those two qualities? I don't see it on chessgames.

Aug-30-10		dahtah: <zarg>characteristics of a true genius.

Aug-30-10		frogbert: that game was censored. there were real possibilities of mating in the decisive encounter, and a black king and a white queen were reportedly involved.

Aug-30-10		zarg: [White "Carlsen, M."] [Black "Anand, V."] [Game 1 - Final] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nf3 Bg7 4. g3 O-O 5. Bg2 c6 6. O-O d5 7. Nbd2 Bf5 8. b3 Ne4 9. Bb2 Na6 10. Nh4 Nxd2 11. Qxd2 Be6 12.

Aug-30-10		LucB: The games are on the chessbom site I believe..

Aug-30-10		zarg: <characteristics of a true genius> The best achieving geniuses are hard working.

Aug-30-10		crazybird: Vishy Anand: <..essentially I threw way the game in one move. 21…a5 loses a pawn on the spot> http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/c...

Aug-30-10		wordfunph: as predicted, Magnus brings home the trophy! cheers to Magnus!

Aug-31-10		frogbert: <The best achieving geniuses are hard working.> some even maintain that hard work and determination is the defining characteristic of a genius.

Aug-31-10		zarg: I don't think Carlsen score well at hard work.

Aug-31-10		Kazzak: I see from the Tournament Table here that someone at cg likes to tease Carlsen-fans.

Aug-31-10		frogbert: i agree that carlsen would become even more of a genius if his work ethic would've matched that of say kasparov. :o)

Aug-31-10		kamalakanta: Capablanca: " The good player is always lucky."
