Jan-16-08
 | | lostemperor: Corus 2008! Topalov on shared 12-14 place as expected. He usually is a slow starter:) The good news is he already played Van Wely and Polgar (and scored 0.5 against the latter)! Let's see what the tournament brings in the coming rounds. Standings after 4 rounds:

|
Jan-16-08
 | | lostemperor: <whiteshark> not necessary I think! Topalov was often a slow starter in tournaments and he lost frequently to Judit Polgar last years (3-1 in their last classical 4 games I guess). Against socalled lower rated players as van Wely, where he has had a 19-4 lead according to this database, he might sometimes try to win hard with black also taking extra risk with it. It;s the psycological advantage or in Topalov's case disadvantage if I may say. All this with the utmost respect for Van Wely and in my humble opinion of course:) |
|
| Jan-16-08 | | Elixir of Life: <lostemperor> Have we ever seen ELO THIS low in the table? Or CHESSBOOKIE this high? |
|
Jan-16-08
 | | lostemperor: <Elixir of Life> the ELO order usually doesn't score high in the predictions where it was always a part. CHESSBOOKIE game on the other hand, which has only participated for several times in the last two years orso, whenever there was data available, does score significant higher mostly. I also used to include the Betsson bookie odds in the prediction game. Mostly they do about the same as ELO. I also checked the Betsson odds but only a few hours before the tournament and this was the order: Betsson odds
1. Anand 3
2. Kramnik 5
3. Topalov 6.5
4. Aronian 12
4. Ivanchuk 12
6. Mamedyarov 12.5
7. Leko 14
8. Radjabov 16
9. Carlsen 20
10. Gelfand 25
11. Adams 30
12. Polgar 40
13. Van Wely 50
13. Eljanov 50
I will include this in the rankings. At the moment they are at shared 16th place with 73 points. |
