 | | OhioChessFan: ** Round 5 Recap **
<chessantosh> remarkably hit 2 exacts that round and has most of the contestants wondering if he paid the players off. He zoomed to the lead in 2 rankers. <GE> has the lead in the other 2 rankers. <Penguincw> finally started scoring some points, thanks to <OhioChessFan's> constructive encouargement. Everyone managed to get into double digits in total score. With the contestants in this contest in an emotional uproar, the tournament organizers wisely called for an off day for all of us to regroup. We're back to action Saturday, with 4 rounds to go. |

| Aug-29-15 | | twinlark: <Interesting player. He seems to show flashes of brilliance where you'd think he should be top 10.> Yes, I thought the same.
It's interesting to speculate about the careers of some of the also-rans. Why didn't they take the next step up the ladder. In some cases, it's simply circumstances, such as simply being in the wrong continent (eg Africa, where the economy and infrastructure is very poor, or Australia, where the governance is second rate and there is great distance from the action), insufficient funds for proper development opportunities especially strong tournaments in faraway places, personal issues etc etc There is of course only room for ten players in the top ten, but the rating bandwidth of the top ten can vary quite considerably from generation to generation. It's easier to work out the reasons for the decline of the greats than why some of the promising stars never made it to the top. Thanks for the suggestions, all of which I've implemented. |
