Apr-14-15    Penguincw: Bangkok Chess Open, website/results here: http://chess-results.com/tnr169298..... There's also a "Challenger" group: http://chess-results.com/tnr168727..... Through 4 rounds of play, 3 players (Vallejo, Gustafsson and Barbosa) remain perfect. Apr-14-15    fromoort: Go Jan! Apr-14-15    Chessgames Bookie: Betting on round 5 is now open! Pick the winners and strike gold: Bangkok rd 5: Gustafsson-Vallejo Pons Bangkok rd 5: Wang Hao-Barbosa Bangkok rd 5: Short-Ikeda Bangkok rd 5: Short-Ikeda: HOW MANY MOVES?

Apr-14-15    Ron: A prescient video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9m... Apr-15-15    kummatmebro: Jan "the man" gustafsson! Apr-15-15    PhilFeeley: The results seem to indicate a knockout event. No? Apr-15-15    whiteshark: <PhilFeeley> I don't think so. <"Overall the 9-round Thai Open features 299 players in two divisions ..."> See also: Official website: http://bangkokchess.com/ Results and pairings in full: http://chess-results.com/tnr169298.... chess24 rd 1-4 report: http://chess24.com/en/read/news/nig... Apr-15-15    Penguincw: Big clash tomorrow: 2nd seed Vallejo-Pons has white against 1st seed Wang Hao. Those 2, along with 3 other players, lead with 4.5/5. < whiteshark: ... I don't think so. > I think what he means is that there are several missing games, so the results look like a knockout event. Apr-15-15    greed and death: Is there any way to find the games that weren't played on the first 6 boards. They appear to be the only ones being broadcast (both here and on other sites), but I'm wondering if theres any other way to find them... Apr-16-15    tpstar: One town's very like another When your head's down over your pieces, Brother Apr-16-15    dumbgai: "Big clash" = exchange all the pieces, 24 move draw :( Apr-16-15    Penguincw: Tournament remains close, as entering the antepenultimate round, 12 players (including the top 6 seeds) are at 5/6. BTW: How come Vallejo, who basically plays 1.e4 around 66% of the time, didn't play 1.e4 in either one of his first 3 white games. Change of repertoire? Apr-16-15    WannaBe: <Penguincw> The tournament is not close, it's an Open... OK, I'll move along now... Apr-17-15    dumbgai: Wang Hao has 6/7 and is only gaining 3 rating points. He better end up winning this tournament. Apr-17-15    Penguincw: Penultimate round coming up, and there's a big matchup tomorrow: (1) Wang Hao (6/7) vs. (4) ustafsson (6/7) 11 players sit at 5.5 points. < Wang Hao has 6/7 and is only gaining 3 rating points. He better end up winning this tournament. > This is what happens when a >2700 player is facing <2500 opposition... P.S. How come 2700chess.com has omitted the first round result for Wang Hao? Seems like a legit game to me: http://www.chessgames.com./perl/che... Apr-18-15    whiteshark: One reason why there are only a few games so far is that they only have a live-coverage of the top 6 boards. Apr-18-15    CountryGirl: Illingworth vs Short was a tough game. Only 2 of Illingworth's games uploaded so far, the organisers obviously haven't any idea how good he is. But I for one will not be surprised if he finishes high up on the leader-board. Or even gets that 3rd GM norm. Go Max! Apr-18-15    Penguincw: A mere round left. Wang Hao leads alone with 7/8, and has black against Ganguly in the last round. 5 players are half a point back. Apr-18-15    twinlark: <Penguincw: How come 2700chess.com has omitted the first round result for Wang Hao? Seems like a legit game to me> It is, but his opponent was unrated. Apr-18-15    Penguincw: < twinlark: It is, but his opponent was unrated. > But according to http://chess-results.com/tnr169298...., his opponent was rated 2131, which should be a free 0.8 points. Apr-19-15    twinlark: Not quite: http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... That might have been his national rating, but it certainly isn't his FIDE rating. Apr-19-15    Penguincw: Well that's a crazy last round shakeup, which included leader Hao falling to Ganguly. Short, Dragun and Ganguly all finish 1st with 7.5/9, but looks like Short wins it all.
