| Jul-16-22 | | carpovius: Did Arvon Leonian win the event? |
|
Jul-16-22
| | MissScarlett: He’s won the first leg of two. If Wei wins the second tomorrow, a blitz playoff will be necessary. |
|
| Jul-17-22 | | offramp: Sam Sevian is only 21 and won the preliminary tournament. His rating was 2684, and he had a Perf Rating of 2919. Phew! Sam scored, in the prelims (ignoring the Radjabov result):
+8 =5 -1 (loss to Duda).
With a bit of luck Sevian could have got through to the final. |
|
| Jul-18-22 | | Atterdag: Aronian wins the tournament. The winning game against Wei Yi was a wild battle. Wei Yi launching a fierce attack, but his own king became too exposed in Aronian's counterplay. Wei Yi could have made a few more moves but his position was a shambles. A great victory for the sympathetic Aronian, who got better and better during the tournament. Also a great achievement for young Wei Yi, of course. |

 | | FSR: "Soon after finishing in shared third place at the Candidates Tournament, Teimour Radjabov kicked off his participation at the FTX Road to Miami online event with a draw and three losses. The Azerbaijani surprisingly entered the second day of the competition in last place. After yet another loss, against Anish Giri, he informed the organizers that he had been feeling unwell, which led to his withdrawal from the tournament." https://en.chessbase.com/post/ftx-m... |
|
| Jul-19-22 | | Atterdag: <FSR> I have to say: your bio is a Jacob's Ladder to the divine Caïssa. I was short of breath reading your countless merits. I humbly bow my head in awe. |
|

| | FSR: <Atterdag> Not sure I deserve such extravagant praise, but thank you. |
|
| Jul-19-22 | | stone free or die: Weather's a bit gushy today - I blame global warming. |

 | | PawnSac: Hey < FSR: >
check out this game:
Marc Esserman vs Alexander Ivanov
44th Annual Continental Open (2014), Sturbridge, MA USA, rd 3, Aug-08
Sicilian Defense: Smith-Morra Gambit. Accepted Kan Formation (B21) · 1-0 A combination of excellent home prep with sharp positional understanding. I think this is one of Marc's memorable games. A real work of art! |
|
Jul-20-22
| | FSR: <PawnSac> Playing into Esserman's Smith-Morra, as in M Esserman vs A Ivanov, 2014, is a dangerous proposition. Anand declined it in M Esserman vs Anand, 2016. |
|
| Jul-20-22 | | AdolfoAugusto: Carlsen anonunces that he will not defend title, |
|
| Jul-20-22 | | AdolfoAugusto: Carlsen will join Justin Bieber and will be s duo, |
|
| Jul-21-22 | | carpovius: Super interesting tournment of stars in Moscow: Karpov, Karjakin, Grischuk, Morozevich https://www.chess.com/ru/events/202... Is it under <CG> sanctions? |
|
Jul-21-22
| | MissScarlett: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by torpidity. |
|
| Jul-23-22 | | Atterdag: <Is it under <CG> sanctions?> Why should they sanction such a <super interesting tournament of stars>? I'm sure every day will be a celebration of the prospects of getting the title back to the proud nation where it really belongs. I hope Karjakin wins. That kind and peaceful man is the epitome of the Russian spirit, which, we know, takes superiority of all other nations, the decadent Nazi-infested regimes of the West in particular. If they are luck-stricken, they'll get a visit from Vladimir Vladimirovich, who could use some relaxing time between his urgent, highly demanding tasks. I'll hold my breath until the tournament shines on the front page. |

 | | flimflam48: Carlsen has nothing to win, nothing to prove; he's probably bored with the whole thing now!
Let the underlings scramble around for the honors, such as they are! Hey, he might go into politics...and follow Garry's lead here?! |
|
Jul-27-22
 | | beenthere240: MC has an excellent point. The WC title and process is obsolete and boring. The pro tennis and golf models are much more interesting. |
