TheGladiator: <Bureaucrat>
I hope the kibitzers here will treat you well when I'm gone. Together with <achieve> and <brankat> you might be remembered as the ones who bullied me to stop using chessgames.com. I suppose you are proud. |

TheGladiator: <yalie: In your very next paragraph, however, you point out that Carlsen dropped from 2552 in April 2004 to 2528 in July 2005, which is well over a year (and is all I was saying)> This is no big deal to me, yalie. But I actually argued that the "drop" actually indicated ... |

TheGladiator: "comedy of errors" isn't the right description of the complicated and entertaining game Grischuk - Radja IMNSHO. Ok, there were a few clear mistakes, maybe even a blunder, but over all we saw a very good effort from both, especially Grischuk! |

Jul-11-07 Vladimir Afromeev 
|
TheGladiator: Ok, so he's decided to become a GM. Well, two more tournaments then, and that's it, I guess. One of the FIDE officials said that he's seriously interested in information about this case, so if anyone have anything concrete to bring forward, please let me know. As a starter, it ... |

TheGladiator: <Karpova>
Don't worry - at least Corus would be a given IMO. If Karjakin manages to break into 2700 for the october list, I'm also 95% sure he gets invited to Linares. The organizer might need to make room for both 1990 wiz kids, actually... :) |

TheGladiator: <7.Dominguez - talented player, but for whatever reason can not brake through> If he tried to break through instead, it might help ;) Putting on the brakes can't be a smart move... :) |

TheGladiator: Navara jumps out of 2700 territory (only for now, hopefully) just as spectacularly as he went into it: http://www.fide.com/ratings/tourney... 2720 - 64,3 = 2656 for July list. |

TheGladiator: <podjevsky>
I objected to naming one "low quality" and the other "high quality". Consider my points above, and you'll see that the verdict might have been different if Gelfand or Kasim had faced either of Aronian or Magnus. We just don't know, and as usual I think many ... |

May-29-07 Carlsen vs Aronian, 2007 
|
TheGladiator: <notyetagm: IM Pein seems to agree with [Hot Logic] . His comments below.> What I reacted to, was the phrase "throughout the entire game" - while my point was that this feature was relevant for about 4 moves, after which the position was dead lost for white. 20 d5? (?!) ... |
