Nov-04-12    waustad: This was a fine result for Ju Wenjun, despite getting steamrolled by Ivanchuk in the semis. Nov-04-12    MountainMatt: And a pretty fantastic result for Mr. Karpov, no? Perhaps not "biological miracle" status, but damned impressive. What were the time controls here, I wonder? Nov-04-12    chessgames.com: Time controls were rapid, 25 minutes + 10 seconds/move. Official site (French): http://www.capechecs.com/trophee_cc... Nov-05-12    Blunderdome: Aleksandra Goryachkina got crushed, but this has to be great experience for a 14-year-old, even at rapid time controls. Nov-06-12    HeMateMe: Is Chuck listed first, because he won a playoff of some sort? Nov-06-12    Troller: < HeMateMe: Is Chuck listed first, because he won a playoff of some sort?> Nah, that's just the cg software. In fact Karpov won the playoff. Nov-06-12    alexmagnus: Karpov won the Karpov trophy. I wonder if this is the first case of someone winning a trophy named after himself. Nov-06-12    Jim Bartle: I wonder if he handed himself the trophy. Nov-06-12    OhioChessFan: Amusing pic with Mickey Mouse and Alexandra Kosteniuk http://chessqueen.com/wp-content/up... Nov-06-12    OhioChessFan: Oh, he's giving her the trophy. Anyway, not sure if the video works, but maybe interesting: http://chessqueen.com/tag/anatoly-k... Nov-13-12    HeMateMe: < alexmagnus: Karpov won the Karpov trophy. I wonder if this is the first case of someone winning a trophy named after himself. > You're right; it's hard to win your own memorial tournament. Even Fischer couldn't do that. Or Alekhine, for that matter. Nov-13-12    Jim Bartle: Yes, very hard to win your own memorial tournament. Since you'd be dead and all. Nov-13-12    Troller: Did not Korchnoi play a game against a dead guy once? Think it was Maróczy. OK, he may only have <claimed> to do so, on further thought. In the case of Karpov, there is also the Poikovsky Tournament, which is named after Karpov, but I don't think he ever participated in it himself.
