Jan-30-10 | | jurado96: it happen to korchnoi against juan
carlos gonzalez he lost it and lost the game after having a piece up when this happens you are supposed to play your best and leave the personal feeling
for after the game |
|
Jan-30-10 | | machess: Is this So's worst game ever? |
|
Jan-30-10 | | dakgootje: <machess: Is this So's worst game ever?> Maybe worst move, but certainly not worst game; he had a winning advantage at certain points. |
|
Jan-30-10 | | MaxxLange: So played a bad mistake, it happens to everyone |
|
Jan-30-10 | | Everyone: <MaxxLange> How do you know? |
|
Jan-30-10 | | MaxxLange: I was taking the position above, where SO should have played RxN, as true I do not "know" |
|
Jan-31-10
 | | Troller: Negi-Giri drawn. Congrats to Giri! |
|
Jan-31-10 | | achieve: Next year the A-group awaits Giri, whooo.... Congrats Anish! |
|
Jan-31-10 | | seagull1756: Giri wins! - and online blitz addicts can happily continue doing what they are doing: in his interview Anish said playing 3 min games was his main form of training on his way to becoming a GM |
|
Jan-31-10 | | dakgootje: Congrats Anish!! :D
It is going to be interesting to see how he will do next year in group A, obviously it is a lot tougher.. A well, a year to improve :) |
|
Jan-31-10 | | wolfmaster: Well, Giri will play at Corus A next year... He should be at least 2650 and still improving. |
|
Jan-31-10 | | manakin: Anyone knows what's this kid's rating performance and live rating? |
|
Jan-31-10 | | Bdellovibrio: Will Naiditsch also appear in Group A next year? |
|
Jan-31-10 | | pinoy gramps: seagull is mysql's boyfriend |
|
Jan-31-10 | | rafnoc22: Against Anna..I think Wesly So had better winning chances had he played #32.Rc2( cover his K from rook check), so that #32..Rbd7 #33.Qc3...R7d3 #34.Qc4ch (force exchange of queens)thus weakenning black's powerful attacks. |
|
Jan-31-10 | | rangek: Giri's performance rating is 2760 I think. |
|
Jan-31-10 | | Thrajin: I'm very disappointed with Nisipeanu's performance. He's one of my favorites and I thought he would certainly get more than one win in this group. |
|
Feb-01-10 | | Bradah: <Bdellovibrio: Will Naiditsch also appear in Group A next year?> Probably not, but my bet is that group A will include Giri, Van Wely and Smeets.:o) |
|
Feb-01-10
 | | WannaBe: So, with relegation, the winner moves up to Group A, and losers moves to Group C (??) :-)) |
|
Feb-01-10 | | Billy Vaughan: That means van Wely doesn't move to group B ;) |
|
Feb-01-10 | | virginmind: congratulations to anish giri!
...and disappointment for nisipeanu's weak performance. |
|
Feb-01-10 | | mysql: <pinoy gramps: seagull is mysql's boyfriend> Now you're acting gay also? :o) |
|
Feb-01-10 | | timhortons: ok giri won, but im not so well satified by it since he just swindle that win against wesley. anyways theres more game to come between this two lad, i hope wesley and nige play in corus A next year, though i doubt of wesleys chances, he might be back in corus B, or if he show great chess this year im sure they wont hesitate to invite him in corus A. |
|
Feb-02-10 | | falso contacto: So was playing top form chess all year long. He definitely could have the chance of returning. I thought that all the enthusiasm was just chauvinism but the guy can really play. |
|
Feb-02-10 | | falso contacto: Disappointing performance by Parimaryan i think. |
