 | | HeMateMe: Where are the games? |
|
Sep-14-22
 | | MissScarlett: Three of the field - Esipenko, Chigaev and Matlakov - are playing the Chess.com Global Challenge. Esipenko and Matlakov already through the first round, so they're already guaranteed $10,000. |

 | | Check It Out: This tournament seems rigged, that's a shame. Perhaps the players are protesting. |
|
| Sep-15-22 | | paavoh: Here is the lineup: Vladislav Artemiev (2706), Sanan Sjugirov (2703), Daniil Dubov (2702), Evgeny Tomashevsky (2700), Andrey Esipenko (2678), Evgeniy Najer (2676), Maxim Matlakov (2671), Maksim Chigaev (2641), Aleksandr Rakhmanov (2633), Arseniy Nesterov (2575), Ilia Iljiushenok (2551), and Volodar Murzin (2534). So it is not unreasonable to have a high share of draws, it is only the lack of aggression in the games that seems strange. |
|
| Sep-15-22 | | Chessius the Messius: Motivation, yes. |
|
| Sep-15-22 | | et1: It might be indeed a very clever way of protest, and related with motivation, concentration, private problems. I wish the best for the players. |
|
| Sep-15-22 | | et1: 30 matches, 3 decisive results, 18 miniatures. See it to believe it. |

This is the kind of thing Fischer protested, and why he flew solo against the whole lot of them. You find this strange? There is nothing new under the sun! lol |

| | HeMateMe: Looks like a 'committee finish.'
By contrast, look at China's annual championship, men's and women's. LOTS of decisive games. Maybe the chinese players are threatened with labor camp if they don't play aggressively? Dunno. Maybe Russian chess needs another Nikolai Krylenko? |
|
| Sep-18-22 | | N0B0DY: I think that if you are ready to follow your idea, first of all the whole UK needs a Nikolai Krylenko. |
|
| Sep-18-22 | | whiteshark: Can this be considered a <refusal to work>? |
|
| Sep-18-22 | | et1: Russians players think outside chess, Chinese players don't dare to ? |
|
| Sep-18-22 | | et1: 42 games, 5 decisive results, 22 miniatures. |

| Sep-20-22 | | tessathedog: If Tomashevsky wins this, it will be an affront to Caissa. He’s hardly tried in any game in the whole of the first half of the tournament. |

| | MissScarlett: <In round eleven, the race leader Sanan Sjugirov drew Andrey Esipenko, and Daniil Dubov caught up with him by defeating Ilia Iljiushenok. The regulations required that Sjugirov and Dubov play a tiebreaker match. Both rapid and the Armageddon games ended in a draw, and Dubov, who had had black pieces in the “sudden death” game, was declared a winner. Daniil Dubov: “My initial strategy for the entire tournament was minimising risks and trying to outplay underdogs. And I have coped with this task indeed. This is not exactly something to be proud of creatively, but I am happy from the athletic point of view. I had three chances and won all those games, including game eleven. We were both exhausted going into the tie-breaker, and you can see it in the games. However, luck sided with me in "Armageddon", which clearly is always a flip of the coin. My trembling hands did not let me down. High five to Sanan for doing such a great job in this tournament!”> https://ruchess.ru/en/news/all/dani... |

| Sep-23-22 | | ILikeKeres: Russia is mobilizing more troops in the war, and is forcing protestors to go to the front lines. I wish the fighting would stop. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/23/1124... |
|
| Sep-24-22 | | tessathedog: A fast play off is a silly idea to decide any serious classical tournament, and Armageddons are just ridiculous. As far as I’m concerned, they both tied for first, and share the title, like in the good old (sensible) days. Congratulations Danny and Sanan!
Mind you, I thought Murzin perhaps tte real “hero” of the tournament. And Tomashevsky the “villain”…such a fine player, and decided not to try at all. I’ll excuse him on the understanding that he has queried the war, so perhaps it was a kind of protest action. |

| | HeMateMe: Absolutely. Armageddon is pure garbage, as are rapid playoffs. |

| | HeMateMe: Maybe use tie breaks to split the prize money in a way that rewards the player who had a more difficult schedule. That incentivises players to work harder during the event, a good thing. but the actual tournament record should call the event a tie if two players finish with the same record. |
|
| Sep-30-22 | | et1: 66 games, 13 decisive results, 33 miniatures. |
