 | | Annie K.: <WinKing> well, according to Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_..., where the six players who are not supposed to be playing in Moscow seem to be "greyed out", apparently Nakamura should be playing. |
|
| May-10-17 | | WinKing: Ok, thanks <Annie K.>. I am surprised Hikaru doesn't list this tournament on his website & surprised(maybe not so surprised) how 'World Chess' doesn't list him either. Anyhow listing the 18th player as 'OTHER' is the safe way to do it until we are absolutely sure. I am holding my breath hoping World Chess posts the pairings for this tournament in a timely manner. They have proved in the past it can be an adventure with them. |

 | | Chessgames Bookie: I have not seen any pairings listed yet from World Chess for the 2017 Moscow Grand Prix. Will post some games when they become available. If anyone sees them before I do you can post them here or in my forum below: User: WinKing |

| | Annie K.: <[World Chess] have proved in the past it can be an adventure with them.> Yes, that's a very polite way of putting it. ;) They have set up the tournament at Chess-Results now, so for the rest of the event, that's probably the best place to go to. :) http://chess-results.com/tnr280762.... |

| | Chessgames Bookie: Thanks <Annie K.> I believe you are right that Chess-Results is the best way to go from here. Just so you know I *paid* the 10.00 bucks to watch the Moscow Grand Prix from World Chess. They did not post the pairings till almost game time. What's up with that??? You would think that they would give paying customers a little more notice. Still their coverage of this event is better than in the past. They have made some improvements. I am curious to see how soon they post the pairings for Round 2. We will get some pairings posted for the bettors 'by hook or crook'. ;) |

In the Moscow Grand Prix there were two winners in today's Round 2. Nepomniachtchi after losing in the first round bounced back with a win against Hammer. The other winner was Ding Liren against Inarkiev. The two Chinese players, Ding Liren & Hou Yifan, now share first place with
1.5/2 after 2 rounds. As soon as the pairings are out for Round 3 I will post some games from the Moscow Grand Prix. |

both finished with 3/5. I'm not sure but I think Grandelius may have taken first with the tie-break. Games have been posted for Round 4 in the 2017 Moscow Grand Prix. |

*sigh* the rabbit is always looking for the easy way out. <WannaBe> you are playing a nice round...so far. All you have to do is hold that position for another 50 days or so. You can do it. ;) |
