| Jul-15-14 | | Wavy: You have to cheer for Wesley to have 2 more draws then. lol |
|
| Jul-15-14 | | whiteshark: <Wavy: You have to cheer for Wesley to have 2 more draws then. lol> Exactly! ACP Golden Classic: SO SPECIAL ;D |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | waustad: I sort of like the odd number of players idea so that one avoids the extra white issue, though it makes it a little less obvious who's really leading. Seeing who is +1 or such makes more sense than total points. The last tournament I remember that used adjournments was one where Anna Muzychuk had an excellent result, but the tournament wasn't rated. It was in the Netherlands if I recall. |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | geeker: I'm pretty sure there was a significant tournament with adjournments about a year ago. But I haven't been able to recall specifics. :( |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | Mr. V: Hi all!
I believe you're remembering this tournament: ACP Golden Classic (2012) |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | Mr. V: I really like the way the ACP looks like they're organizing their special tournaments. |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | waustad: As usual, win or loss some of the most interesting games are Sutovsky's. |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | waustad: <Mr_V>Yes that was it. I final round loss to Ivanchuk kept Muzychuk from having a plus score in a tournament where she was the only player who'd never been over 2700. |

 | | WannaBe: Woo, if W. So draws the last game, I hit the 4.5 pts wager with bookie!! =) |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | wordfunph: interesting if Wesley will settle for a draw to clinch the title or go for Brunello's throat. |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | torrefan: He might go for Brunello's throat--to kiss it. |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | Mr. V: Waustad:
Yes, Muzychuk was really impressive in 2012 against the men, and I'm always glad to see Gata Kamsky near the top of a tournament.Here I hope Nepomniachtchi can pull it together for his last game. I liked his win against Brunello. |
|
| Jul-19-14 | | shintaro go: Another excellent interview by wesley after round 6 |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | geniokov: Now,woodpushers of the whole world will now understand why they are so many Wesley So fans at his page and even so many trolls still distructing it!This is why? From a non-chess loving country up to No#12 in the world as of now and still continue getting stronger! |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | torrefan: Excellent speech geniokov. |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | 1d410: What about #11. I don't even remember who that is. Dominguez? or maybe Kramnik now....? |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | Wavy: <WannaBe: Woo, if W. So draws the last game, I hit the 4.5 pts wager with bookie!! =)> Wow! Congrats! You hit the jackpot! :-) |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | Mr. V: Wow, tough tournament for nepomniachtchi. |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | dunkenchess: Wesley gave a hint earlier to draw his last game and nutcherly his opponent would grab it. |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | Wavy: <dunkenchess> The objective is to win the tournament. I suspect that his coach Susan suggested to draw the last game if that means securing the victory. |
|
| Jul-21-14 | | PhilFeeley: <From a non-chess loving country> Really? It seems to me that chess is pretty popular in the Philippines. |
|
| Jul-21-14 | | LucB: <<From a non-chess loving country> Really? It seems to me that chess is pretty popular in the Philippines.> <PhilFeeley>
As Canadians, we know all there is to know about non-chess loving countries, correct? :D |
|
| Jul-21-14 | | posoo: ANOTHER thing wrong with tornament chess. JOBA and SO have same wins. They should share titele.
DRAWS? Are you kidding me?! |
|
| Jul-21-14 | | Wavy: < posoo: ANOTHER thing wrong with tornament chess. JOBA and SO have same wins. They should share titele.

How come they don't have the same score? Are you suggesting that only the wins should count and that draws and loses should not be counted? |
|
| Jul-22-14 | | posoo: CORRECT wavy. |
