Jan-10-07
| | lostemperor: Three more days before the first games at Corus start ... |
|
| Jan-10-07 | | DCP23: I wonder why the majority of people have predicted Motylev to finish last. I'm sure he won't be last. Bottom half may be, but not last. |

Jan-11-07
| | lostemperor: I left out the names from the runner-ups from the Kramnik vs Topalov contest (1 point) since I figure they might rather prefer not to be in the list (but actually they do of course). Also worth noticing is that if the Biel tournament was counted <percyblakeney> and <suenteus po 147> would have shared first place with an additional 1 and 3 points (the maximum points there) respectively (a total of 15 points). But I specificly said beforehand that Biel is not part of the 2006 contest but a seperate contest (and some would have been disadvantaged for not participating there) :-( |

|
| Jan-12-07 | | positionalgenius: <lostemperor>I thought I was in the top-3 for the kram-top WCC match. |
|
| Jan-12-07 | | VishyFan: <lostemperor> My predictions for the final standings: 1. Anand
2. Aronian
3-5. Topalov, Ponomariov, Kramnik
6-8. Radjabov, Svidler, Carlsen
9-10. Shirov, Karjakin
11-12. Motylev, Navara
13-14. Van Wely, Tiviakov |
|
Jan-12-07
| | lostemperor: <positionalgenius> no you were not among the top 3 but just outside. You were among the runner-ups place 4-8! You predicted Kramnik vs Topalov 6.5-5.5. There were three winners who predicted 6-6, Kramnik to win the tie breaker, who got two points. You got one point. Like I said I didn't put the runner-ups or anyone, with an exception, on the 2006 winners' standings (but I did counted and added the points if they are already in it) since I thought that people may rather choose not to if that was the only time they participated and won, since it was from just one match (part of a bigger contest, including the candidate matches, what will take place this year maybe). |

|
| Jan-12-07 | | positionalgenius: <Lostemperor>Ahh now i see...
<ahmadov>You will probably win. Thats a good bet. |
|
| Jan-12-07 | | ahmadov: <positionalgenius: <Lostemperor>Ahh now i see... <ahmadov>You will probably win. Thats a good bet.> Thanks. But it is not that easy to predict because there might be someone with surprise results. At the same time, Anand, Topalov, Aronian and Kramnik are equally strong. It is difficult to know... |
|
| Jan-12-07 | | positionalgenius: <ahmadov>Kramnik is historically bad at corus,usually finishing +1 or +2,which isn't good enough to win.The only player I thought you messed up on was Navera.(he's 2719,lets remember) |

This is just what I think. Like some other youngsters, he also needs some experience playing with elite players in a tournament. We will see what happens... |
|
| Jan-12-07 | | positionalgenius: <ahmadov>Kramnik's still off-form,so I expect him to finish mid-pack.
I hope I'm wrong though.... |
|
Jan-12-07
| | lostemperor: <ahmadov> you forgot Ponomariov. |
|
| Jan-12-07 | | ahmadov: <lostemperor: <ahmadov> you forgot Ponomariov.> Oooops, sorry.
I am placing Pono between Svidler and Karjakin.
1. Anand
2. Radjabov
3. Topalov
4. Kramnik
5. Aronian
6. Svidler
7. Ponomariov
8. Karjakin
9. Van Wely
10. Shirov
11. Carlsen
12. Tiviakov
13. Motylev
14. Navara |
|
| Jan-12-07 | | positionalgenius: <ahmadov>I still think Kramnik at #4 is a mistake... |
