  Eggman: <<Carlsen will probably not play>>

Is there any reason to believe that Carlsen would boycott a double round robin format? I know you were posting in jest but I ask this question in all seriousness because I don't know the answer.

Sep-22-11  bigatin: <visayanbraindoctor: <bigatin> Nais kong manatiling anonymous. Medyo madali ring mapadpad sa mainit na debate kung ang pinag-uusapan si GM So; iniiwasan ko yon. Ipagpaumanhin nyo na lang ako kung hindi ako sumasagot sa mga ibang katanungan, lalo na sa <<maka ID>> sa akin.>

You are <freak>ing out...You need to go to a <club> to drink.

Sep-22-11  bigatin: <Ladolcevita: I completely agree with your post!

But I just can't compose myself sometimes.

Seems like I'm fearless:

  alexmagnus: <vsb> I don't follow you, I answer to everybody... Look, I posted more than 2000 posts since our last talk :D. And I' not portarying you as anti-European, I just don't get where you see the discrimination of non-.Europeans in chess. There is no more discrimination than anywhere else. Even less, as the statistics show. And one more thing: just because you don't have reasonable counter-arguments to my arguments it doesn't give you right to ban me from countering your arguments, which are just plain wrong in all dimensions. And leave HMK alone.

  alexmagnus: In other words, as long as you continue agitating your flat earth view, I impossibly can withhold pointing out it is not flat.

  alexmagnus: Is there discrimination against non-Brits in snooker? Non-Africans in marathon running? What about non-European non-South-American teams in soccer?

It's not about discrimination or money. It's all about popularity of the respective sport in the region.

Sep-22-11  Boratco: Alexmagnus, I have no clue on what you and vbd are talking about so I will not stick my nose in it. I just want to ask you one question. Why didn't you post your proposal about qualifiers here so people can see it is much better than frogberts 2 proposals? Your proposal was simple and includes everybody in the world. It will also negates any claim about descrimination from wherever a chessplayer is from. A chance for everybody means it is fair and square. I was going to drag it here but I thought it would be a crime.:o)

  alexmagnus: You mean the one with multiple qualifying levels, starting at sub-state level and ending up in the Candidates?
Sep-22-11  Boratco: Yes, that was it. It is super easy to understand and made a lot of sense without green cards.
Sep-23-11  Ladolcevita: <bigatin>
Yes,I know,perhaps that's due to one's temperament I guess.

  HeMateMe: Kramnik will be the selection committee wild card. Rank has its priveleges.
Sep-23-11  twinlark: Reckon it should be someone who's not been eliminated from the World Cup, or decided not to compete in the Cup. The highest ranked player in that category is Giri, with three others making up the full list, including Dreev, Naiditsch or maybe even Wang Hao who had to withdraw because of health reasons.
Sep-23-11  Boratco: Giri, Dreev and Naiditsch never got qualified to play in the World cup. No to green cards.
Sep-23-11  Kinghunt: <HeMateMe: Kramnik will be the selection committee wild card. Rank has its priveleges.>

Kramnik is looking likely to qualify by rating. Karjakin may have had a 7 point edge in July, but Kramnik currently leads Karjakin by about 30 points. If Kramnik holds his rating, Karjakin is going to have to climb to 2785 by January to get the spot.

Sep-23-11  visayanbraindoctor: The wildcard will depend on the host country as usual. If Russia hosts, and Kramnik manages to plunge his #4 Elo rating down, Russia will probably nominate him as the organizer's wildcard. If as expected Kramnik gets in by rating, the wildcard will probably be Moro. If Azerbaijan is the host, we can expect Raja or Mame to get in. If it's the Dutch, expect Giri. British - expect Short or Adams.

If one just wants the biggest publicity, it should be the comeback Queen - Judit.

Sep-23-11  visayanbraindoctor: On second thoughts, if Russia hosts, perhaps they should make Karjak and Moro play a match, and seed in the winner. That would be most interesting.
Sep-23-11  Kinghunt: If Russia hosts, then four of the Candidates will be Russian.

  HeMateMe: < the wildcard will probably be Moro. > Is that what we want? After he essentially walked out on his elimination World Cup two game match? If he couldn't handle that amount of stress, wouldn't he also fall apart in a 16 round Candidates tournament?

I think Moro has to have a very strong showing in an elite tournament to convince people he has the stomach for serious competition.

  alexmagnus: In case of a Russian host the wildcard will be Karjakin.
Sep-23-11  bronkenstein: <On second thoughts, if Russia hosts, perhaps they should make Karjak and Moro play a match, and seed in the winner. That would be most interesting.> +1 , and I additionally prefer Russia hosting for their excellent live coverages . The only comparable coverage that comes to mind is London Classic one.

  alexmagnus: Generally a wildcard in a world championship related event makes no sense at all.
Sep-23-11  twinlark: Mig thinks it's asinine too. Bad enough for the World Cup, beyond ridiculous for the Candidates.
Sep-23-11  bronkenstein: FIDE having trouble with finding sponsors + being greedy = wildcard.

  HeMateMe: It's not so bad, if you consider that someone like Kramnik or Carlsen would otherwise be excluded, if they had a couple of bad tournaments in a row.
