 | | Penguincw: Site: http://elinversorinquieto.es/Notici.... This event will end on the 15th, which is the same day as the Norway tournament is starting, so MVL will surely be busy. :) |
|
| Jun-13-15 | | Strongest Force: MVL has extra day since Norway starts on 16th.
Go Wei! You da man...almost |

| | Penguincw: MVL and Wei Yi final! On the classical ratings, MVL is exactly one spot ahead of Wei Yi. :p In rapid ratings, MVL is now up to #13, but Wei Yi at 2600 is not in the top 100. Those 2 have met once before: Wei Yi vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2013 (Wei Yi won, classical game). http://en.chessbase.com/post/leon-r...
BTW: Is there going to be a battle for 3rd place? |

| Jun-14-15 | | Strongest Force: Wei is up a pawn with opposite Bs. |
|

 | | sydbarrett: White (MVG) is up a pawn with opposite B's on the board I'm looking at. Unless my eyes deceive me, it's a dead draw. Another draw. |
|
Jun-14-15
| | cro777: This is the last game of the final match. Wei Yi is leading 2-1. |
|
| Jun-14-15 | | Strongest Force: I thought Wei had white...my bad... |
|
Jun-14-15
| | sydbarrett: Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's clearly a draw? A draw of the indisputable sort. Game still going on. |
|
Jun-14-15
| | cro777: The current position is a dead draw. Practically, Wei Yi has won the tournament. |
|
| Jun-14-15 | | Strongest Force: White can't make a break with the e-pawn and thus a draw. |
|
Jun-14-15
| | sydbarrett: I follow Wei's games online the same way, say, I used to watch Nadal at the beginning of his career. Intrigued by his great potential. |
|
| Jun-14-15 | | Strongest Force: We need Wei in some top classical tournaments. |
|
Jun-14-15
| | cro777: Wei Yi defeated Maxime Vashier Lagrave in the final 2.5-1.5. He won the tournament last year as well. |
|
| Jun-14-15 | | Strongest Force: Wes has a fair chance to win game two |
|
| Jun-14-15 | | Strongest Force: oops, wrong page |
|
| Jun-16-15 | | capablancakarpov: Yesterday Wei Yi played 25 simuls at the Leon University. The final score 25-0. Amazing how fast did he calculate the variations.. World Champion credentials for sure. |
