Jul-27-14 | | 1d410: Bu Xiangzhi is probably a martial arts black belt too... |
|
Jul-27-14
 | | alexmagnus: Not the first time Bu has a run though. Still remember, many years ago, in some open (Gibraltar?) Bu started with something like 6/6 which led to the Chessbase headline "Great Bu's up". |
|
Jul-27-14
 | | alexmagnus: My memory was half-perfect here - it was indeed Gibraltar (2008), but the score was 7.5/8 http://en.chessbase.com/post/the-gr... |
|
Jul-27-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: <Great Bu's Up> Ah yes, a lovely reference to Blackadder, the episode "Beer." |
|
Jul-27-14 | | Wavy: Great breakthrough for Bu for finally beating a 2700 player. |
|
Jul-28-14 | | jphamlore: Haug lost very quickly to Ramirez in a standard type of opening trap one sees in Gruenfelds. A Ramirez vs J Haug, 2014
One would think such a young player would enjoy tactical melees, except I would guess they would prefer to be the side threatening checkmate instead of the other way around ... |
|
Jul-28-14 | | jphamlore: Bu Xiangzhi is on an amazing run of crushing his opponents in the endgame this event, as if he were Capablanca reincarnated. Today's feat, probably winning an opposite-colored bishops endgame. |
|
Jul-28-14 | | jphamlore: Bu Xiangzhi's not being on China's 2014 Olympiad team may prove costly for them. |
|
Jul-28-14 | | notyetagm: Politiken Cup (2014) <jphamlore: Bu Xiangzhi's not being on China's 2014 Olympiad team may prove costly for them.> Yes, he is just *killing* non-elite GMs at this event. In this form he would have an *ginormous* score on Board 3 or 4. |
|
Jul-28-14
 | | Penguincw: Not even the longest draw this tournament:
Moiseenko - Schandorff
95...Bf6 1/2-1/2

|
Jul-28-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: Last round:
Bu - Rapport
Negi - Matlakov
etc, etc.
Teenager Schroeder has done more than enough for an IM norm. David Smerdon won the Danish Problem Solving Championship last evening. |
|
Jul-28-14
 | | perfidious: Outstanding result for Bu, whose chances of winning this, I suspect, were not fancied at the outset--whatever outcome the final round has in store. |
|
Jul-28-14 | | Wavy: < notyetagm: Politiken Cup (2014) Yes, he is just *killing* non-elite GMs at this event.
>
He did beat a 2700 player. That should count. I expect a draw with Rapport in the last round. At least he is doing what he should do - beat lower ranked players. |
|
Jul-28-14 | | Conrad93: <notyetagm: Politiken Cup (2014)
Yes, he is just *killing* non-elite GMs at this event.> You don't consider Moiseenko, Jones, and Rodshtein as super GM's? Plus. Bu wasn't that far away from 2600+ before this tournament. |
|
Jul-29-14
 | | alexmagnus: Well, since Negi and Matlakov made a quick draw, Bu may not worry - even with a loss he is clear first. Good, no need for "draw to fixate the result". |
|
Jul-29-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: Bu finishes 1st with 9/10 and a leap of some 30 spots in the top 100 live list, not to mention a big pay cheque. |
|
Jul-29-14 | | notyetagm: <SimonWebbsTiger: Bu finishes 1st with 9/10 and a leap of some 30 spots in the top 100 live list, not to mention a big pay cheque.> Wow, <+8 =2 -0>, 9/10 with no losses(!). Oh, and 30(!) rating points. |
|
Jul-29-14 | | Mating Net: Tremendous performance by Bu, 9/10 is top notch. |
|
Jul-29-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: 13 year old Anton Smirnov scored his 3rd IM norm and now only needs to pass the 2400 Elo mark. 16 year old Jan-Christian Schroeder, Germany, scored a GM norm. Junta Ikeda, Australia, scored an IM norm but it is a luxury norm as he already will be awarded the title at the Olympiad! Best game prizes (2000+) Timman - Fries Nielsen and (u2000) Philipsen - Foss Hansen. The Winners both receive a year's subscription to "New in Chess" magazine. Finally, Tim Rogers was unlucky to lose <that> game to Rapport in round 1. He was the last to finish today with a win in 99 moves. |
|
Jul-30-14 | | offramp: Chess and politiken don't mix. |
|
Jul-30-14 | | mike1: really good showing of the Australians here! well done, Oz! Smerdon , Smirnow and Ly at 7.5 and Ikeda at 7, great! |
|
Jul-30-14 | | waustad: <jphamlore>Bu Xiangzhi and Shen Yang are both missing the olympiad right after great results. I guess this shows just how deep the Chinese teams really are. |
|
Jul-30-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<wausted>
It has more to do with qualifying. Bu was asked about the issue in an interview during his stay at Elsinore. He came fourth, 1st or 2nd was needed, in a team qualifier. Don't know if Shen Yang missed the cut for a similar reason. |
|
Jul-30-14 | | twinlark: <mike1: really good showing of the Australians here! well done, Oz! Smerdon, Smirnow and Ly at 7.5 and Ikeda at 7, great!> Terrific hitout for the lads just ahead of Tromsø. Big lift too for young Anton just when he most needed it. |
|
Jul-31-14 | | Bob Loblaw: Bu Xiangzi has climbed a whopping 30 places on the live ratings list, losing but one game of his last 19. |
