There is much more at stake: the overall winner of the series will take home an extra €20,000 and the first two players in the final standings will achieve direct qualification to the 2023-2024 FIDE Women’s Candidates.> The rounds begin at the usual 3pm local time. The time in London will be 11am. That will be SOOOO keeeeewwl!! May-17-23    offramp: Apparently the game will start at 13:00 or 13:15 or 13:30. Who cares?

May-18-23    Atterdag: Wagner is the only European sounding name here - and then it turns out, Dinara is a (former?) Russian married to a German chessplayer (Dennis W.) :-) May-19-23    jphamlore: <Atterdag: Wagner is the only European sounding name here - and then it turns out, Dinara is a (former?) Russian married to a German chessplayer (Dennis W.) :-)> Because to put it bluntly, women's chess in the West is at best something to put on a college application to Stanford University. Imagine if the United States ever produced a woman player who was the youngest to defeat a GM and youngest to make IM, and who won the United States women's championship by three half-points. If I am reading Wikipedia correctly, that is exactly what happened to Carissa Yip -- almost immediately retiring from chess to focus on her college application process, only playing not great in an Olympiad and a SPICE Open after the United States championship win. If it weren't for the completely broken college admission system in the United States, youth chess would not exist at all in this country. May-19-23    offramp: Fur coats and no draws. May-19-23    fredthebear: Ah, but Jude Law or Tom Hardy should star in a movie of this moment in Cyprus history: "On his way to the Holy Land during the Third Crusade in 1187, Richard I of England's fleet was plagued by storms. He himself stopped first at Crete and then at Rhodes. Three ships continued on, one of which was carrying Joan of England, Queen of Sicily and <Berengaria of Navarre>, Richard's bride-to-be. Two of the ships were wrecked off Cyprus, but the ship bearing Joan and Berengaria made it safely to Limassol. Joan refused to come ashore, fearing she would be captured and held hostage by Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus, who hated all Franks. Her ship sat at anchor for a full week before Richard finally arrived on 8 May. Outraged at the treatment of his sister and his future bride, Richard invaded. Richard laid siege to Nicosia, finally met and defeated Isaac Komnenos at Tremetousia and became ruler of the island, but sold it to the Knights Templar." -- Wikipedia About Richard: https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/histo... Powerful man comes to the rescue of his future bride. Surely Caissa would enjoy such a movie. May-19-23    offramp: If you are defending with the ♗ , keep pawns on the same colour. May-19-23    perfidious: <offramp: If you are defending with the ♗ , keep pawns on the same colour.> A piece of advice which goes against what the good books tell beginners to do generally, but sound. May-20-23    AdolfoAugusto: My son is fifth board in Harvard's chess team. Top board is US women champion WGM Jennifer Yu, then 3 strong FM. May-20-23    perfidious: Harvard had some strong masters playing for them when I faced off with their Met League teams during the 1980s; their top boards were 2300+ most of the time, though they never had the depth to take out the powerful Boylston Club side. May-21-23    offramp: Oliwia Kiolbasa lost in round 6. May-21-23    fredthebear: I knew she had to be Polish! May-24-23    SChesshevsky: Seems Dinara gets to the lead with a really interesting win v. Lagno in round 7. May-27-23    fabelhaft: Not often the lowest rated player wins a tournament like this. May-27-23    fredthebear: Indeed! Dinara Wagner won her last round game against Bela Khotenashvili to win this 11-round tournament. May-27-23    AdolfoAugusto: Hopefully the games will be updated soon, May-27-23    MissScarlett: <Apparently the game will start at 13:00 or 13:15 or 13:30. Who cares?> These time delays are all the fault of Niemann / Carlsen (delete as applicable). May-27-23    Sally Simpson: Here is the final cross table - 'Not often the lowest rated player wins a tournament like this.' (Dinera Wagner is the new Mozart of chess.) https://static.tildacdn.com/tild636... May-28-23    ndg2: Not only did Wagner grab sole victory in a surprise upset, she also achieved not just a IM norm (5/11), but also a GM norm (7/11). Dinara, after all, had the lowest ELO rating of all players before the start. She won 27 points in Nicosia. All the more surprising, if you consider her results in Astana and Munich (where was last place, if I recall correctly).
