Dec-11-12  Blunderdome: I thought whychess.org's coverage of this was sexist. I had hoped for better from the CG members.

Of the games I've played through, I'd recommend T Sachdev vs Uhlmann, 2012.

We are trying our best here.

<sexist> What's wrong with being sexy?

Clearly you have never seen ChessBase cover any women's event, like, ever.

  tamar: BTW live coverage is going on now http://www.praguechess.cz/poradane-...
Dec-11-12  waustad: If they asked Pia Cramling or Maia C or Nona G, which side would they put them on? I'd love to see them get Larry Christiansen for one of these, but there are enough older male players in easy rail distance that it would probably cost too much. Then again, Iceland and India aren't exactly next door.
Dec-11-12  Helloween: <tpstar> loving the Spinal Tap reference.
