 | | HeMateMe: Just out of curiosity, I used the search window here to check So. v. Carlsen. There are no games, of course, because Wesley So isn't talanted enough to be in the same events as Carlsen. Reality is a tough place, but we all have to live there. |

| Dec-18-12 | | Jason Frost: Ouch, Karjakin vs Ding Liren (round 4 - blind)
click for larger viewKarjakin played 32.Qxb5?? dropping mate in two, when the simple 32.Rxb7+ would have just lead to instant resignation. |
|
| Dec-18-12 | | magnifico: after that blunder, the table is turned. Karjakin will be mated in two by a consortium of 2 black knights and a rook. Liren unleashes his wrath and fury from the early pounding by Sergie...and declares: You shall pay for your barbarism:http://youtu.be/sOVFtLNqPg0 |

Thanks for seconding me. |

| Dec-19-12 | | notyetagm: Wow, three, that's three(!!!) silver medals for Nakamura, finishing second in each event. Tremendous!

| Dec-19-12 | | 14DogKnight: He actually tied for first in the rapid. Great job by Nakamura. |
|
| Dec-19-12 | | 14DogKnight: He should get a gold for first overall |
|
| Dec-19-12 | | frogbert: <i have a feeling that Wesley So will never get invited to any tournament besides SPICE cup.> strange statement, as he's already been invited to several tournaments besides spice cup. being ironic, hellopolgar? |
|
| Dec-19-12 | | waustad: Yes, it was an impressive performance by Naka. 7 rapid, 15 blitz and 7 blindford games against some of the world's best in a week is a very tough tournement. For most it was in a very foreign time zone. They all deserve a break. I hope they were compensated accordingly. |
|
| Dec-20-12 | | hellopolgar: <frogbert> it always amuses me to poke fun at millions of wesley so fans on here. besides "wesley so will not be invited to top level tournaments given his sub-2700 rating", i guess i was also hinting that SPICE cup isn't a "real" tournament. |
|
| Dec-20-12 | | frogbert: <millions of wesley so fans> isn't 13 + a few hundred socks the right figure, if we're talking people contributing to cg.com? |
|
| Dec-20-12 | | hellopolgar: I guess I was exaggerating a little bit:) |

 | | perfidious: <frogbert> has it right, though I expect no such admission from the <So-bots>. |
|
| Dec-20-12 | | kevinatcausa: One possible overall ranking (rescaling each event to be out of the same number of points and taking averages): Nakamura: 74.4%
Aronian: 58.1%
Morozevich: 54.6%
Karjakin: 54.0%
Grischuk: 52.2%
Fressinet: 51.0%
Mamedyarov: 51.0%
Radjabov: 50.3%
Leko: 50.2%
Ding: 49.4%
Wang: 47.8%
Ivanchuk: 41.6%
Giri: 39.7%
Jobava: 38.4%
Bologan: 36.0% |
|
| Dec-21-12 | | waustad: A very natural way to find out hwo did best overall is to add up the places and start from the bottom. I suspect 6 wins by a lot. |
|
| Dec-21-12 | | usuario x: <i guess i was also hinting that SPICE cup isn't a "real" tournament.> SPICE is a pamper goldfish tournament, he should keep playing opens against 2200 players |
|
| Dec-21-12 | | 12.12.12: it pains me to see chucky performing like this.
fressinet's performance is impressive, imho. |
|
| Jan-15-13 | | 7Heaven: Nakamura lost in rapid/blitz? That's new! It's his expertise in chess. |
