1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.Nf3 e6 5.Be2
Gata tries something more fun than the London-system! This line has become quite fashionable vs the Caro-Kann. Kamsky has probably improved his repertoire as a consequence of preparation for his match against Topalov. White relies on his space advantage there. while Black has a solid game and counter-play based on ...c5 and ...f6. Antonio is already thinking, I guess he was surprised by the opening choice of Gata

5... Nd7 6.O-O
Now Black is supposed to continue ...Bg6 and then ...f7-f6. Last month in Novi Sad, GM Solak moved his Knight g8-e7-f5-h6-g8! in the opening, against Shirov, and managed to hold a draw. *

Nov-21-09   rjsolcruz: On 5... Nd7

GM Joey had previously played 5... Ne7 vs Wang Hao in the Asian Individual Ch 2007 which he lost.

He has also played 5... Nd7 vs Surya Ganguly in the Asian Continental Ch 2009 which he also lost. Yes, he lost the battle vs Ganguly but won the Subic War which became his ticket to this Wordl Cup.

Will there be a deja vu in Siberia?

we hope so sir <rjsol>..

go GM Joey!

Nov-21-09   pinoymaster77: Good pm, frozen ata lines di na na-refresh with latest moves sa chessdom...
Nov-21-09   Iskubadayb: Joey, what's happening? That's not your style, bradidik. Go for the sharp opening! You can mix it up with anyone with your tactical prowess. You are playing into Gata's strength. Attack! You can do it! Go go go!!!

  wordfunph: payback time in the 2nd game tonight GM Joey! Go for a kill..
Nov-22-09   pinoymaster77: Rest well and relax gmjoey, there will be greener pastures, and this will just motivate you to scale new heights in your chess career!
Nov-22-09   Iskubadayb: Valiant effort! You had Gata on the ropes there in your 2nd game. I just quickly played your game and did not get a good look at it. It looked like there may be something there! I'll check it out later. You were matched with the defending World Cup winner and you did not get wiped! Good job. Shopping time??
Nov-22-09   prensdepens: That is not a bad performance!, considering that you were matched at once against one of the best chessplayers in the world today.

Your level of play is within the superGM standards.

Playing more against these top caliber players will give you the opportunity to polish your tactics. You already have the strategy...

  zanshin: <GMJoey> When you get a chance, can you take a look at the game score of Kamsky vs R Antonio, 2009 and verify that it is correct (or not). Salamat po.

  spawn2: < GM Susan Polgar : Wesley did exactly what he had to do to hold Ivanchuk. He played a "boring" opening with very little for Black to play for. He managed his clock sufficiently. Well done! Now comes the next big task. Gata is a VERY tough player for anyone in match format. He is a grinder. He is very patient. He will not self destruct.

The weakest part of Gata's game is his opening. However, his middlegame and endgame skill is his strength. He is also mentally strong and he is a very experienced player. I know Gata for a long time. He played many big matches in his career.

Wesley MUST be very patient and be prepared to play long and intense games. It is very difficult for any player in the world to blow Gata off the board. He is a world-class defender.

Wesley needs to play aggressively but not risky. It is critical for Wesley NOT to get into time pressure against Gata.>

You might want to consider this in preparing Wes for Gata. Goodluck!

Nov-25-09   oyeboli: Stars do not struggle to shine; rivers do not struggle to flow, and you will never struggle to excel in life, because you deserve the best. Hold on to your dreams and it shall be well with you.. GOD BLESS!!
Nov-26-09   pinoymaster77: gmjoey, malaking bagay ang pagtulong ninyo nila GM Darwin kay Chairman. Magtuloy-tuloy na til matapos!

Kung puede rin, some 'ringside' or 'corner' insights on the Ivanchuk match since it's over.

Greetings!

Its freezing here right now..negative 32..whew! .hindi na kami makalabas ng hotel.Hindi namin kaya ang lamig dito. But we will stay for wesley.
Wes is ready for today's game against Kamsky.

Nov-27-09   prensdepens: Hi GM Joey! Thanks for giving us account of what's going on there right now.
Nov-27-09   oyeboli: ON THIS DAY, GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW . . . that nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be. You keep wanting to know how things will play out, keep asking to see the future. God doesn't give anyone the power to know the future, because life becomes maddeningly boring when you know everything upfront. So, instead of struggling, enjoy the uncertainty - to be alive means to not know.

GM...thanks for the update. . and the ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE attitude. .am proud of you po!! That's the real GM PINOY. . . GOD Bless and hope your blanket will keep you warm po. .

  pulsar: <GMJoey> I wanted to express my gratitude about you and GMDarwin helping out Wesley in WCC. I'm proud you and I know that chess-loving Filipinos are proud of you all.

God bless!!!

Nov-28-09   rjsolcruz: GM Joey,

Nakabawi ka na rin kay Kamsky!

Kasama namin ang PARA Team kanina for the 4th episode of the fund-raising simul which you have started. GM Mark starred this time and scored 14 wins and 2 draws; vs Alexis Elinon of PARA and Ronnie Dellota of MERALCO (who also got a draw with you in Aug).

Nov-30-09   pinoymaster77: Whoaa, I was just going thru the rounds of chess blogs after Wesley's draw, and went over this article from Susan Polgar's. Oh well, the Olympiad ay dun din pala sa Siberian city, looks like its a fave site of FIDE.

Well, at least alam na nila GMs Wesley,Joey and Darwin ang pagbiyahe duon, ano mga dalhin.

If Im not mistaken Olympiads are around Aug/Sept of the year and its not at the height of winter there...

Tromsø could get Chess Olympiad
2009-11-30

A delegation from the northern Norwegian city of Tromsø visited the Chess World Cup in Khanty-Mansyisk, Western Siberia, in order to promote Tromsø´s bid to host the 2014 Chess Olympiad.

Next year the Chess Olympiad will be arranged in Khanty-Mansyisk in Russia and at the same time a decision will be made by the FIDE-congress who will be the host of the 2014 Chess Olympiad.

It was at last year’s 2008 Dresden Chess Olympiad, Tromsø announced its intention to bid for the 2014 Chess Olympiad.

The city of Tromsø in Northern Norway decided a couple of years ago to bid for not only one, but two Olympic events, the 2014 Chess Olympiad, and the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. After competitions in Norway, Tromsø was chosen candidate for both these events.

Tromsø beat the capital Oslo and the city of Trondheim to be the national candidate for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, and defeated Lillehammer, Oslo and Vestfold to run for the 2014 Chess Olympiad.

Last October the board of the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports made a controversial decision to withdraw the application for a state guarantee for the 2018 Games to the Norwegian government, as reported by BarentsObserver.

They argued that it would be to costly to organize the Winter Olympic Games in Tromsø. The decision spurred a heated debate in Norway and especially in Northern Norway.

But Tromsø has definitely not given up its ambitions to become an Olympic City.

A delegation consisting of Mr. Børge Robertsen, General Director of Tromsø 2014, Mr. Morten Sand, Adviser to the Tromsø 2014, and Mr. Jan Eirik Johnsen, Political Adviser to the Mayor of Tromsø, visited the Chess World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk. The aim of the visit was to establish contacts, demonstrate the commitment of the Tromsø candidature and to learn from the World Cup organizers in Khanty-Mansiysk, a press-release from Tromsø 2014 stated.

The delegation met informally with representatives of FIDE, the Vice-Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Mr. Alexander Zhukov and the Governor of the Khanty-Mansiysk, Mr. Alexander Filipenko.

In May this year Tromsø applied to the Norwegian Government for financial support to the 2014 Chess Olympiad. A decision is expected before the New Year, as Tromsø has to deliver its final bid to the World Chess Federation – FIDE at the end of March next year.
