Dec-08-05  alexandrovm: <NakoSonorense: Alex, my friend, is this really you?> hey! Thanks for posting here. Yes, this is really me :). I participated in an open tournament in La Paz in May, as you can see by this link http://www.torre64.com/noticias/bol... I managed to get 6 points out of 9. This tournament was "in memoriam" of Marcial Lopez, a strong bolivian chess player who passed away 2 years ago. Best wishes my friend :)

Dec-08-05  Akavall: <alexandrovm> Congrats on beating a 2100+ player with black pieces! Was the rest of opposition that strong?

  WannaBe: 6 points out of 9!!! And how come you don't have a rating yet?!

<Akavall: ... And for some reason your name sounds familiar...> Didn't he pitch for the Dodgers in the 80's?? =)

Dec-08-05  Akavall: I remember now

<Alexandro Valenzuela, La Paz, Bolivia 1. Draw is allowed under 30 moves if: a) Stalemate
b) draw by repetition
c) not enougth pieces to deliver mate
If the game is drawed with the white pieces then the player gains 0.3 points If the game is drawed with the black pieces then the player gains 0.4 points 2. Draw is allowed over 30 moves if: a) Stalemate
b) draw by repetition
c) not enougth pieces to deliver mate
If the game is drawed with the white pieces then the player gains 0.4 points If the game is drawed with the black pieces then the player gains 0.5 points If a player wins a game with the white or black pieces, he gains 1.5 points If a player loses a game with the white or black pieces, he gains 0 points. Example: Player A wins 3 games, draws 3 with black over 40 moves and loses 1. Player B wins 1 game, draws 3 over 30 moves with white and 2 over 30 moves with black and loses 1. Player C wins 1 game, draws 3 under 30 moves with white and 2 under 30 moves with black and loses 1. Actual points system: Player A= 3+1.5+0= 4.5 points (out of 7)
Player B= 1+2.5+0= 3.5 points (out of 7)
Player C= 1+2.5+0= 3.5 points (out of 7)
Proposed points system:
Player A= 4.5+1.5+0= 6 points (out of 10.5)
Player B= 1.5+1.2+1+0= 3.7 points (out of 10.5)
Player C= 1.5+0.9+0.8+0= 3.2 points (out of 10.5)

As you can see this new system punishes people who makes fast draws and rewards people who finish with a good plus score. In our current system there is not a big diference (only 1 point!) if one player is +2 and the other is +0. But in my system, the diference is more tan 2 points (for normal draws) and almost 3 points against fast draw players! Also, I don't agree in blitz games, to decide a game. The strengh is not the same, take for example former FIDE champion Rustam, he is 2670 at classical time control, but very strong, third in the world in blitz games, only behind Anand and Kasparov...>

You are a celebrity!

Dec-08-05  alexandrovm: <...Didn't he pitch for the Dodgers in the 80's?? =)> lol! :) <Akavall: <alexandrovm> Congrats on beating a 2100+ player with black pieces! Was the rest of opposition that strong?...> Thank you :) About the opposition, not really. There where playing only 2 or 3 IM's, 3 or 4 FM's and 4 or 5 guys with rating. That from a list of 70+ players is nothing really. Because I was doing just fine I had to play with 3 strong players, I lost two and won this game. I also liked this open tournament because I saw many people interested in chess, and many kids. It's really great to have chess as a sport, specially for kids :)
Mar-26-06  HOX: Wow <alexandrovm> So this is you? Nice picture BTW, although I can't see your face.

You are a very talented individual. In your game you played very good. Impressive! Can you submit more games? Good luck on the chess clock you are developing. Take care and best wishes my friend...

Mar-31-06  mastandrea: I have a 14 wins 0 loses not jocking!!!
Apr-04-06  alexandrovm: thanks to all, friends :) <harce sarmiento> not yet, lack of time. But I'll participate soon this year. <HOX> I'll submit more once I get more (good) results, lol! Do you participate in tournaments? <Akavall> you think so? Maybe an avatar is too small, no chance to have a clear picture, perhaps...<mastandrea> that's great! I would love to see other GM's in the top ten for a while ;)
