| Feb-22-07 | | tarlan13: Congratulations to all Azeris. B tournament was won by Vasif Durarbeyli. Ona urekden tebrik edirem. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | Plato: Jakovenko wins Aeroflot. I called this one from the start :) My Linares predictions, by contrast, don't seem to be turning out too well (unless Leko starts winning and Carlsen starts losing). |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | ahmadov: <tarlan13> "ona", yoxsa "onu" ;) |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | percyblakeney: Tomashevsky-Jakovenko was drawn in 14 moves. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | percyblakeney: ...so regardless of tiebreaks Alekseev has the chance to secure a Dortmund ticket if he can beat Sargissian. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | ahmadov: Eltaj Safarli wins Tigran Petrosian with one move: e4... |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | gmgomes: Aleksev x Sargissian: after move 31, engines evaluates Aleksev with comfortable 2 pawns up, but both players are in time trouble - let´s see how they will get up to move 40. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | percyblakeney: Looks like Alekseev is going to Dortmund. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | gmgomes: Sargissian had better resign now. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | percyblakeney: ...and so he did. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | percyblakeney: Berg finished without draws after 4 wins and 5 losses. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | Strongest Force: Tigran Petrosian overslept? Maybe he was playing blitz somewhere & forgot? :-D |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | angslo: Alekseev won |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | Raskolnikov: Ni Hua won nicely against Minasian in Advanced Caro-Cann. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | stanleys: Conratulations to Alekseev!
Another great win after the title of Russian champion |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | Raskolnikov: There are some really good games in the last round: e.g. Volkov-Balogh, Almasi-Sadvakasov etc. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | doremi: WFM Hou won against (male) GM Kotronias!
God bless everybody but especially Hou and doremi too |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | PhilFeeley: <Plato: Jakovenko wins Aeroflot. I called this one from the start :)> A little early with the results? Alekseev won. |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | Plato: <PhilFeeley> My mistake! For some reason I thought yestereday's round was the last one, and Jakovenko had the best tiebreaks. |
|
| Feb-23-07 | | tarlan13: E.Safarli - T.Petrosian
1.e4
1-0 A great win. |
|
| Feb-23-07 | | samik: Why you are so exited,Tarlan00 ? |
|
| Feb-23-07 | | PhilFeeley: <Plato> An easy mistake to make. The last round shows how "GM draws" work against you if you want to win a tournament. Alekseev earned the win. |
|
| Feb-23-07 | | Mameluk: Alekseev, Jakovenko, Tomashevsky and their latest results call for dismantling the ceiling of the toilet. |
|
| Feb-23-07 | | Plato: <PhilFeeley> He certainly did. Congratulations to Alekseev. The talent pool of young players these days is enormous. |
|
| Feb-24-07 | | Mameluk: http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt...
See the discussion here. Perhaps somebody already started dismantling the ceiling. Chess starts to remind cycling, delaying the transmission should be duty very quickly. |
