| Jul-01-06 | | DCP23: <Shajmaty>, GM Sergei Shipov defeated Carlsen with the Black pieces and is in the sole lead with 6.0 out of 7 points and no losses. |
|
| Jul-01-06 | | DCP23: In fact, Shipov also stood winning in his game vs Krasenkow, also with Black, but due to time trouble missed the win and Krasenkow escaped with a draw. Carlsen was not so lucky. |

| Jul-01-06 | | Appaz: IM Dworakowska played a nice miniature against Aksel Brasøy:

Black resigned after 18.Qe3! The threat is 19.Rxf5 gf 20.Qg3+ |
|
| Jul-01-06 | | dakgootje: Then why not 18. ...Bf6? If 19.Rxf5 gf 20.Qg3 then Kh8 and black is standing superios, but it survives i think |
|
| Jul-01-06 | | Appaz: <dakgootje> After 18.- Bf6 I think 19.g4 must be the move, still winning the bishop. The position looks won for white anyway (18.g4 maybe), but I liked the queen move (although it may not deserve a !). |
|
| Jul-01-06 | | dakgootje: ah yes, i didnt even look at a possible attack at that bishop, so i also didnt consider 19. g4. I think if 18. g4 then 18. ...Be4 19. Qe3 Nf6 and black seems to be saved for a while... dont know how long though |
|
| Jul-01-06 | | Appaz: A promising pairing for the Norwegian GM's tomorrow: if Lie beats Shipov, Carlsen beats Hammer and Johannessen beats Røyset, they share first place. |
|
| Jul-01-06 | | DCP23: <if Lie beats Shipov> Don't bet on that ;) |
|
| Jul-01-06 | | Appaz: I wouldn't :)
Kjetil A. Lie has played well lately. Shipov only needs a draw, so maybe he will go for a solid opening with little risk, to counter the sharp style of Lie. |
|
| Jul-02-06 | | Appaz: The infamous last round for kibitzers: the games start 3 hours earlier today. |
|
| Jul-02-06 | | Appaz: It does not look like Shipov apply my suggested solid strategy. Instead he allows Lie to sac a pawn in a French Defence. |
|
| Jul-02-06 | | PhilFeeley: IM Dworakowska played an exciting game against GM Åkesson. I didn't understand a thing after the opening, until the end with the passed pawn and the perpetual check. Perhaps someone could annotate? |
|
| Jul-02-06 | | PhilFeeley: There's some great photos from this tournament on the official site, including some of those who went on the fishing trip on the free day. It must still be cold up there because they're all bundled up in jackets. Another photo shows a group of the kids ignoring their games in what appears to be them watching the Soccer World Cup! |
|
| Jul-02-06 | | Appaz: Well deserved victory for Shipov.
Notice Gunnar Johnsen (2215), 61 years old, in 4th place ahead of 4 GMs and 2 IMs! He took maximal advantage of the pairing system, avoiding the 13 best players. |
|
| Jul-03-06 | | chessmoron: Magnus Carlsen could have won the Chess Challenge but 2 crucial blunders against Krasenkow (a win turned to a draw) and Shipov (a draw turned to a loss) cost him. |
|
| Jul-04-06 | | Shajmaty: Thanks <DCP23> and <Appaz> for all the info provided! |
|
| Jul-04-06 | | s4life: <chessmoron: Magnus Carlsen could have won the Chess Challenge but 2 crucial blunders against Krasenkow (a win turned to a draw) and Shipov (a draw turned to a loss) cost him.> So what's new here? blunders cost tournaments after all... |
|
| Jul-05-06 | | pebble767: Sometimes I just like to see great players like Carlsen losing so they won't boast. I'm not saying that he is boastfull, but it's just a lesson to learn that no matter how great a person is, there will be somebody that can eventually beat him. |

I'm not saying that he is boastfull, but it's just a lesson to learn that no matter how great a person is, there will be somebody that can eventually beat him.> I'm reminded here of the pratice during the crowning of Roman Emperors where, while the emporer was being presented to the throng's adulation and while having a crown held above his head, a man would continuously whisper into the leader's ear "You are mortal... you are mortal..." |

| Jul-06-06 | | rover: <Where did you hear or read that?> Actually it was a custom at the triumph marches.
