Feb-25-09
 | | sisyphus: IM Pavel Ponkratov lost his last-round game to Nepomniachtchi, missing a GM norm. IM Ray Robson lost his last three games, but still outperformed the ELO expectation; good experience. |
|
Feb-25-09
| | sisyphus: In A2, GM Melikset Khatchiyan places second on tiebreak. Among the untitled Chinese juniors, Yu Yangyi and Lou Yiping, get IM norms; Ju Wenjun gets a WGM and an IM norm. |

<<<Rate of play G-3'+2">>>
Arbiter: IA Andrzej Filipowicz>
TC for the blitz tourney. |
|
| Feb-26-09 | | notyetagm: Anyone know if the TC <G-3'+2"> is a 2-second delay or a 2-second increment? Thanks |
|
| Feb-26-09 | | laskersteinitz: FIDE uses increments; time-delay is an American invention. |
|
| Feb-27-09 | | notyetagm: <laskersteinitz: FIDE uses increments; time-delay is an American invention.> Thanks. Did not know that. |
|
| Feb-28-09 | | chessmoron: Can somebody have a PGN for Zhou, Jianchao-Sergey Karjakin 1-0? |
|
| Feb-28-09 | | volvak: Zhou - Karjakin was 0.5-1.5
http://www.aeroflotchess.com/blitz/... |
|
| Mar-01-09 | | laserlight: <laskersteinitz: FIDE uses increments; time-delay is an American invention.> I had the impression that the time delay control was attributed to Bronstein. |
|
| Mar-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: Bacrot at the top! |
|
| Mar-02-09 | | laskersteinitz: <laserlight> Ah, you're right. I got confused. I thought Fischer had invented time delay and Bronstein increments, but it's the other way around! Delay is used in the US, whereas increment is more common in Europe. |
|
| Mar-02-09 | | laskersteinitz: Now that the event is over, CG.com could update the piece of text on the left side of the home page. |
|
Mar-10-20
 | | Tabanus: 11 years with wrong Filippov in 12th place, should be Anton F. |
