 | | WannaBe: How horrible... Ruy Lopez festival, and they DARE to open other openings?!?!?! =) |
|
Mar-22-07 | | MyriadChoices: I'm really happy to see Granda-Zuniga playing amongst big names like Sokolov and Pono. |
|
Mar-23-07 | | BishopofBlunder: <WannaBe: How horrible... Ruy Lopez festival, and they DARE to open other openings?!?!?! =)> no kidding! The absolute nerve! I once played in the Berlin Open and one of my opponents opened with 1.d4!!! I was apalled! |
|
Mar-23-07 | | Troglodyte: Armenia is pumping out chess geniuses like there's no tomorow. |
|
Mar-23-07 | | eyalbd: It is strange that I see openings other than the Lopez :-) In such a festival I would require all games to start after 3. ♗b5 . The player with the white pieces starts the clock and then black moves 3. ..a6 or other moves |

|
Mar-27-07 | | ahmadov: What happened to Sasi? I did not expect him to perform so poorly... |
|
Mar-27-07 | | refutor: <in such a festival i would require all games to start after 3.Bb5> there was a concurrent open tournament that required everyone to play the ruy lopez |

An interesting link about this tournament, and for information about chess in Extremadura (Spain), the natal region of Ruy Lopez (born in Segura de Leon and priest in Zafra) is:

Also includes an interview with Julio Granda. |

Mar-30-07 | | nikolajewitsch: <Inf> About 25 I guess. |
|
Mar-30-07 | | gmgomes: Who knows how was Sargissian“s reting performance here? |
|
Mar-30-07 | | Timex: Lots of the top players flunked here. Sasi must have been exhausted from Aeroflot, etc. and Sokolov too. Pono failed in Corus and therefore, failed here too. |
|
Mar-30-07 | | Sydro: 3021 performance rating by Sargissian. |
|
Jul-01-15 | | landogriffin: Apparently the 3rd highest Rating Performance of all time by Sargissian!?
Obviously quite a short tournament and don't even get me started on rating inflation, but... still!! Also: what a beast in Team tournaments! 3 Team Gold, 1 Ind. Gold at Olympiads, another team gold at World Teams, a team Silver and Ind. Gold at Euro Teams and Team Gold at Euro Clubs. Respect! |
