| Mar-28-24 | | Messiah: C'mon Annoyingface! DISMANTLE him in the Modern Benoni! |
|
| Mar-28-24 | | EvanTheTerrible: More interesting than this rapid tournament is the classical Open event that runs in parallel in the same venue. The Open is headlined by Erigaisi, Sarana, Fedoseev, Sjugirov, Niemann, Anton Guijarro, Saric, Schevchenko, Kamsky, and Mishra among others. |

| Mar-28-24 | | csmath: How many times I watched Magnus brilliant chess? Yet another brilliant game against Rapport today. His book of the best games will be an encyclopedia in volume. |

All that slagging after the loss to Rapport, yet Carlsen has reeled off 4/5 since. |

 | | keypusher: Ding broke his draw streak. Rapport and Magnus playing lots of decisive games! |
|
| Mar-30-24 | | Rdb: Arjun erigaisi playing in Grenke open - so far in 5 rounds ,he has 4 wins and one draw . 4 wins earned him 3.6 rating points and one draw cost him 4.2 rating points . . |
|
| Mar-30-24 | | Rdb: This is the draw that cost Arjun erigaisi 4.2 rating points in grenke open <GM Arjun Erigaisi was held to a draw by promising Romanian talent - 12-year-old FM Henry Edward Tudor. The game reached at a queen vs rook and knight endgame after 34 moves. The boy defended for 102 moves and built a fortress to claim an important half point> https://www.chessbase.in/news/GRENK... |

| Mar-30-24 | | fabelhaft: It has looked better for Ding Liren here than in previous events, but still unusual results for a World Champion against the top players. The highest ranked opponent he has won against as title holder is #25 in Tata, but in OTB games in all formats (classical, rapid, blitz and 960) against players ranked higher than 25th, Ding has at the moment scored +0-18=22. |

Will Ding book a similar result to Leningrad-Moscow 1939 and return to form? |

It seems like someone up there was reading <Atterdag>'s comments after all.. Since he is been talking forever, about getting those intermediate time controls into the top level (and more specifically about getting them into WC matches). |
|
Mar-31-24
| | HeMateMe: Well, it's kind of looking like Ding will be 'world champion' like Ponomariov and Khalifman...But, let's wait and see. Ding may yet surprise the chess world. |

 | | Atterdag: Hi, <mt2>, I just saw your post. LOL - I don't think anyone outside these forums read my suggestions, but that's also of no matter as long as they implement the core of the idea: A hybrid between classical chess and rapid. Perhaps, if they introduced 45-60 minutes INSTEAD of the classics, both in the Candidates and in the WC matches, Carlsen would give it a go again. Messiah would be thrilled! I know, it's never going to happen, but one is allowed to make wishes, right? :-) |

| | MissScarlett: I've been treating this tournament all along as if the 'fast classical' time control meant the games were still rated as classical. How mistaken I was! <A ‘Rapid chess’ game is one where either all the moves must be completed in a fixed time of more than 10 minutes but less than 60 minutes for each player; or the time allotted plus 60 times any increment is of more than 10 minutes but less than 60 minutes for each player.> https://rcc.fide.com/appendixa/ |

 | | PawnSac: well it looks like Fridman, the lowest rated player has a better overall performance than Ding. hmm. so what do we expect in the wcc? |
