< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 74 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-03-07    barbababa: <when Svidler have white, he is +1 -0 =16 against Anand> +1 -0 =11 without rapid/blindfold games. <When Topalov whave white, he is +7 -4 =8> +1 -4 =5 without rapid and blindfold games. Mar-03-07    percyblakeney: <+1 -4 =5 without rapid and blindfold games> So Topalov joins Aronian in the group of players with problems against Ivanchuk... It's been a while since those losses though, Topalov has won the last 5 decisive games but those were not with classical time controls. In the 90's Ivanchuk had very good results against Topalov. Mar-03-07    barbababa: <percyblakeney>Topalov has bad statistics against the top players (Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand and Ivanchuck) like almost everybody. Mar-03-07    barbababa: From 1000 to 21000!! Well done TIMER! Mar-03-07    TIMER: <barbababa> Thanks. I felt that I should have won an earlier leg if I had not got reckless let alone finishing top ten (I actually lead two of them) so was frustrated at not starting with the 10,000, but maybe if I manage to win despite the handicap this time it will not look such a bad thing! Anything can happen still though, and we have some way to go to catch the leader... Mar-03-07    Sneaky: Yahoo!! I am over 10,000 for the first time since the winter leg began!!! Thank you Moro, thank you! Mar-03-07    WannaBe: ♔ !!Handi Capper's Corner!! ♔ Leko-Topalov: Leko have a slim lead of +12 -11 =29 (Overall, counting everything), against Topalov. When Leko have white, he is +3 -2 =12 (Excluding Rapid/Blindfold). Their game in the first half of the tourney was a draw: Topalov vs Leko, 2007 Ivanchuk-Svidler: Ivanchuk have a slim lead of+6 -5 =10 (Overall, counting everything), against Svidler. When Ivanchuk have white, he is +2 -0 =4 (Excluding Rapid/Blindfold). Their game in the first half of the tourney was a draw: Svidler vs Ivanchuk, 2007 Anand-Carlsen: Anand is undefeated against Carlsen +3 -0 =3 (Excluding Rapid/Blitz).

Go, TIMER! Mar-04-07    WannaBe: O-Tay, latest numbers... The last 2 games that Topalov played helped him to move into the 'most moves' lead. Svidler 333 Aronian 347 Anand 397 Leko 407 Carlsen 415 Morozevich 420 Ivanchuk 450 Topalov 454 Mar-05-07    refutor: <RonB> and i thought i was doing well from a 1000 start ;) congrats TIMER Mar-05-07    WannaBe: ♔ !!Handi Capper's Corner!! ♔ Get you ready for Tuesday's games. Aronian-Leko: Aronian leads it overall with +2 -1 =5, but if you discount the Rapid/Blindfold, the record is +1 -1 =4. When Aronian have white, he is +0 -0 =3, Excluding Rapid/Blindfold (E.R.B.) against Leko. And all 3 games were Queen's Indian. Their game in the first half of the tournament resulted in a draw: Leko vs Aronian, 2007 Morozevich-Anand: Anand leads it +7 -4 =5 (E.R.B.), When Moro have white pieces, he is +2 -3 =2 (E.R.B.)

Their game in the first half of the tournament resulted in a draw: Topalov vs Svidler, 2007 Mar-05-07    percyblakeney: Moro has had OK results against Anand, I think he's 2-3 down or something like that after having white in just a third of their games. Most of their previous encounters (like Kremlin Cup and Fujitsu Siemens Giants) are rapid if I'm not mistaken. Mar-06-07    Troglodyte: <Chessgames Bookie>, On the bets for Linares 11th Rd in <Morozevich vs Anand: Opening>, does <1.d4 (any)> include 1. Nf3? Mar-06-07    RonB52734: Ooh! Ooh! I know! Pick me!

Svidler 371 Aronian 388 Anand 426 Leko 447 Morozevich 449 Carlsen 450 Ivanchuk 484 Topalov 491 Mar-06-07    Chessgames Bookie: We have a new kind of exotic bet, "Shortest & Longest." Try to predict which game will be the shortest, and which will be the longest. Linares-Morelia: Rd 12: Shortest and Longest Note that by "shortest" and "longest" we refer to the number of moves played, not by the time spent on the wall clock. Mar-06-07    WannaBe: Anand better beat Aronian, and avenge his earlier round loss to him. Plus it would make me a lot of chess bucks! =) Mar-07-07    WannaBe: Ouch, that Anand-Aronian game costed me an arm AND a leg. Latest number of moves: Svidler 407 Aronian 410 Anand 449 Carlsen 474 Leko 483 Morozevich 488 Topalov 516 Ivanchuk 523 No games tomorrow, so I'll post my Handi Capper's Corner Later (today maybe tomorrow morning =). Mar-07-07    RonB52734: when does this leg/championship end? Mar-07-07    Sneaky: I rocket into spot #4 !!!! Now all I have to do is "go all in with big slick" and I'll be the top banana! Mar-07-07    WannaBe: Mr. Bookie, for Linares-Morelia: Most Moves bet, if Ivanchuk have the most moves, will all bets be refunded? Or you'll pay the second "most" moves? Mar-07-07    percyblakeney: <Latest number of moves: Svidler 407 Aronian 410 Anand 449 Carlsen 474> The four players with the lowest number of moves are also the four players in the upper half of the tournament... Mar-07-07    RonB52734: Lady luck has once again elbowed <TIMER> in the solar plexus, I see. But with 1,000 chessbuck starts, <nonatov> and I still have an outside chance at the ring. Knock on wood.
