Sep-25-05  fgh: Good for Bareev :-) Where can the overall score be found?

First! :-)

Sep-25-05  iron maiden: <fgh> http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp...
Sep-25-05  you vs yourself: I read from a very credible source that posting third gives you the optimum luck:)

Third!

I dream of the day when Chessbase realizes its mistake and rename their "Bareev is the Russian champion for 2005" before actually playing it.

Sep-25-05  ughaibu: First after Third.
Beat that.
Sep-25-05  fgh: First after ughaibu. :-)
Sep-25-05  fgh: But I suggest an improvement: First before anyone else :-)
