| May-02-16 | | suenteus po 147: Sam Sevian is off to a good start with +3 -0 =0. I'd be interested in seeing a showdown between him and Shirov. |
|
| May-02-16 | | Howard: I've been following Sevian's career ever since seeing him at the 2014 Foxwoods Open, when he was only 13. I didn't meet him, but he seemed pretty articulate for someone his age. |

|
| May-04-16 | | Howard: Alert !!!!!
Sevian BEAT Shirov in Round 5----it was not a "draw" like Chessgames.com states. Want proof ? Look at the final position, and try to keep from laughing at the notion that it's a
"draw." |

Good luck! |
|
| May-08-16 | | Bratek: I wonder what Logjam Special is.I hear of Logjam for the first time in my life .Is it some variant of chess like Fisher's.Could someone please enlighten me! |
|
May-08-16
| | Chessgames Bookie: <Bratek> That was just the "what happens to the ten-way logjam at the top of the table?" special; ten players shared the lead with 6.5/8 with one round to go. |
|
May-08-16
| | PawnSac: < Chessgames Bookie: > So then we have a two way tie for first
(Andreikin and Adhiban) and an eight-way tie for 2nd. Stefansson's score is actually 6.5/9 and Axle Smith is 4.5/7 and we're missing two games from him? |
|
May-08-16
| | Chessgames Bookie: <PawnSac> Adhiban and Andreikin were the only players to score 7.5/9, yes. As noted in the intro, 11 players finished with 7.0/9; many games played on lower boards are currently missing, and Gujrathi Vidit Santosh needs to be merged with Santosh Gujrathi Vidit. Chess-Results has the full final standings: http://chess-results.com/tnr176071.... |

| | PawnSac: < Chessgames Bookie: > Hey thanks for the link! wow, 11 way tie for 2nd. With that many players in an open format it becomes a feeding frenzy! LOL |
|
| May-15-16 | | Mr. V: But of the two first place finishers, who won more beautifully?
A Goganov vs B Adhiban, 2016
D Andreikin vs S P Sethuraman, 2016 |
|
Sep-17-17
 | | Tabanus: Standings updated for the 50 players with 6 points or more. Three duplicate games were found, and one wrong game result (correction slips sent). The mysterious 5-mover E Thorn vs V Mikhalevski, 2016 I requested deleted, as the two did not play each other (in Chess-Results). |
