Jul-28-17    PhilFeeley: I wonder why #3 played twice as many games as everybody else. Maybe there are two of them? Jul-28-17    Fish55: <Phil Feeley> There are 16 different opponents in the 16 games. You are probably right about there being two of them. Jul-29-17    soldal: Rasmussen is one of the most common surnames in Denmark (and you have no chance of becoming prime minister with another name). In this tournament there are nine Rasmussens, two of them called Morten Rasmussen, both on 3.5/8. (There are 13 Nielsens.) http://chess-results.com/tnr293258.... Jul-30-17    Tabanus: 10 Morten Rasmussen slips sent. There are three of them.. Jul-31-17    moronovich: Kudos to <Morten Rasmussen> ! Jul-31-17    diagonal: The Georgian Grandmaster Baadur Jobava won Xtracon Chess Open 2017 outright with 8.5/10 points ahead of eight GM's (including Krishnan Sasikiran as best second placed player on tie-break, and also Nigel Short) who all scored 8 points. The Revival of the Sunglasses goes on :) Jabova recently plays a lot with sunglasses http://www.malmoschack.com/jobava-g... So with sunglasses winning at Leon (Rapid) 2017: https://chess24.com/en/read/news/we... Jul-31-17    Tabanus: I updated the standings table for those with 7 points or more according to http://www.xtraconchessopen.dk/inde.... Aug-01-17    HeMateMe: hey, Nigel Short went +6 here and finished just a half point out of first place. Well done! Sep-22-17    thegoodanarchist: <HeMateMe: hey, Nigel Short went +6 here and finished just a half point out of first place. Well done!> Yes, I noticed that and thought the same thing - well done. Of course, congrats to Baadur Jobava for winning it all. Sep-22-17    thegoodanarchist: <Tabanus: I updated the standings table for those with 7 points or more according to http://www.xtraconchessopen.dk/inde....> Give that man a cookie! He deserves it. Apr-18-25    FSR: Ironically, everyone else in the tournament played Baadur than Jobava did.
