| Dec-07-03 | | popski: Peter Heine Nielsen will play on January 30th, 2004 against "Largest number of distributed computers used to play a single game". This will be a new Guinness world record. As I understand, he will play against Beowulf software which will run on our home CPUs spread thru internet. Something like SETI does. Huh, scary!! Good luck Peter! http://www.chessbrain.net |
|
| Mar-17-04 | | MoonlitKnight: The Dane has won a lot of his blitz games in the qualifiers for Reykjavik Rapid. I think he's possibly in the lead at the moment. |
|
| Jun-20-04 | | dac1990: What an unfortunate middle name he has. |
|
| Jun-20-04 | | MoonlitKnight: <dac1990> Why is that? |
|
Jun-20-04
 | | tamar: Peter's game looks very sharp in Tripoli.
2-0 versus Ganguly. Always seems to produce interesting games. |
|
| Jun-20-04 | | shr0pshire: Agreed. Nielsen is looking in good form in the 2004 fide championships. I would expect for him to go very deep in the tournament with how he is playing right now. I will speculate that he will make it in the top 16 players. |
|
| Jun-20-04 | | MoonlitKnight: Well, don't forget M Carlsen vs Peter Nielsen, 2004. It can happen again. |
|
| Jun-20-04 | | acirce: Well since Nielsen is meeting Radjabov in the next round I guess you can't get both <i would expect Radjabov to make it in the top 8> and <I will speculate that [Nielsen] will make it in the top 16 players> right! :) In fact I think Radjabov wins. |
|
| Jun-20-04 | | shr0pshire: Lol, I wasn't looking at the brackets. Good point.
I would expect Radjabov to win as well. |
|
| Jun-21-04 | | MoonlitKnight: Radjabov played convincingly in the first round as far as I am aware of. I don't think there is anything that says he can't go all the way. Especially now that Moro is out. |
|
| Aug-01-04 | | MoonlitKnight: After leading Politiken Cup alone prior to the last round, Heine falls to Sadvakasov, who has had nothing but trouble against weaker players in this tournament. Too bad for Heine it's a 10 round tournament. |
|
| Nov-08-04 | | iron maiden: Congratulations to Peter Heine Nielsen for winning the 2nd European Internet Championship, eliminating Short, Gelfand and Adams on the way to victory. Chessgames.com, do you have plans to put up any of the games? http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... |
|
| Dec-29-04 | | fasting: Peter Heine has lately becomed the best Dane, taking over Curt Hansen and for that sake the now old Bent Larsen as well. Wonder how Peter is doing lately...? has he won anything besides the nice internet championship win that Iron Maiden descripes? |
|
| Dec-29-04 | | acirce: He has had a less great period lately, actually: http://www.fide.com/ratings/tourney... |
|
| Dec-29-04 | | fasting: Peter Heine just (27/12-04) had a win against everybodys favorite Magnus Carlsen, in Norway Smartfish Masters Drammen:
1. Nielsen 1.5
2. Macieja 1.5
3. McShane 1.5
4. Khalifman 1
5. Shirov 1
6. Korchnoi 1
7. Johannessen 1
8. Lie 1
9. Carlsen 0.5
10. Stefanova 0
Looking forward to a good tournament! |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | Poulsen: Peter Heine Nielsen has won the Smartfish Masters tournament with 6/9 - sharing 1st price with Shirov. Congratulations!!
However, I would have preferred an unshared victory, but I guess, that Peter doesn't have the spirit of Bent Larsen - who would have gone for a win with the black pieces in the last round!! |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | MoonlitKnight: In fact, Shirov claims the tournament, since he was able to produce more wins than Heine. |
|
Jan-05-05
 | | cu8sfan: But Heine was able to produce less losses than Shirov... |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | acirce: That's a stupid and completely arbitrary rule. They could just as well decide it on who has had the most knight moves during the tournament. It has nothing to do with performance. However, the one thing that indicates that Shirov really had an objectively better performance, is the number of black games. Shirov had 5, Nielsen 4. So it's kind of fair he won. |

 | | tpstar: If Knight moves were a legitimate tiebreak criterion, we'd see a lot more of this = A Lehtinen vs T Simola, 1995 |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | MoonlitKnight: I think it's a good thing they encourage fighting chess. Heine whimped out after 16 moves against Johannessen. If he had won that game he would have taken clear first. |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | fasting: So great! Heine won! Congratulations! The strongest scandinavian played did what he was ment to do...
I do agree with cu8sfan that he didn't do it the Larsen way - but hey, on the other hand we are not in the 60-70th anymore. Which do result in a lot of draws and theory till 20th move |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | iron maiden: <acirce> Tiebreaks don't really matter anyway; the prize money is split evenly between players with equal points. I also believe that the first and foremost tiebreaking criteria should be number of black games, but, if not by number of wins, how would you have broken ties after that? |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | hintza: <iron maiden> <I also believe that the first and foremost tiebreaking criteria should be number of black games> Surely the results of the players concerned against each other should come before the number of black games. That is my opinion anyway. |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | fasting: well, I do think it matters, not all of them are there for the money! But it is a tough one how to decide who has won the tournament. Becourse if it is the amount of games played with black that decides the winner, everybody would like to have 5 games instead of 4 games with black in a 9 round tournament! I’m more into creative solutions like who playes the lowest ECO variations (where A00, B00 are the best)?! Or who’s age is farest from 35! 12years=23ponits – 49=14ponits – Korchnoi=a lot of points!
I’m I to far out? |
