| 17.Bxg7: Hello,
Given that this is the forum for the European Club Cup (I was confused because I read discussion about other topics), I have a couple of questions: How much of "Club Spirit" exists between these participants? Do they actually belong to a chess club (as a little chess ... |

| 17.Bxg7: By looking at the latest ratings, it seems Caruana and So will get the rating spots into the Candidates. The question now is which one between Anand or Kramnik will get the wilcard. These are the only likely candidates and also those with better connections in Germany (involved with |

Michael Jordan's comback in 1995 was probably the best comeback to a real sport, not chess, ever.> Not quite, because Jordan left as a champion and the best player and just took an absence (sort of vacation from basketball) to return in triumphant mode. He ... |

Jan-26-14 Levon Aronian
| |
| 17.Bxg7: This is the problem I see for Aronian in the candidates. He has shown several times that he can't handle the pressure in the most important moments like in 2011 and 2013 candidates. He can make excuses today like "I was playing for fun, I already won the tournament", but the issue ... |
