Premium Chessgames Member		  lostemperor: Checking on me aren't you <Montreal1666> heheheh.

<pantlko> I'm very happy to see you know the calculating method ;) I might just need someone who can help or replace me sometimes and you are a candidate! But you prove I was right. <Montreal1666> was trying to prove I was wrong and that a shared standing prediction would be advantegeous to a non-shared one. Saying that one of the possibilities of WannaBe would result in 81 points also was not the result he was hoping for :). Assuming Adams got 9 and Naiditsch 4 there, your calculations were perfect and resulted in 81 points.

But <Montreal1666> that second format I gave of WannaBe's non shared standing prediction, would have resulted in 79 points what is just what you wanted to hear, right ;). I'm afraid I litterally did a number on you! Mistakenly really! I just realize it now. Like I said I was too quick to post that then and I did not really calculate the numbers.

WannaBe's prediction
not shared (format 2)
1. Van Wely 8
2. Leko 4
3. Topalov 10
4. Svidler 9
5. Bacrot 8
6. Kramnik 10
7. Naiditsch 4
8. Adams 8
9. Nielsen 9
10. Sutovsky 9

That's 79 points assuming he would have put Nielsen ahead of Sutovski if he may not make a shared standing prediction (and that is a big if).

Jul-21-05  Medusa: So, someone interested in telling wich was his favorite game of the tournament?????

mine is Van Wely vs Topalov, 2005

Jul-21-05  pantlko: <lostemperor> ok.. i was wrong there..adams got only 9 and naidistch 4.

<I'm very happy to see you know the calculating method ;) I might just need someone who can help or replace me sometimes and you are a candidate!> thnks .pls do not hesitate whenever u need any help.

Jul-21-05  Montreal1666: <lostemperor> I was actually testing <pantlko:> to see if he will make a good replacement for you!!!!!.
Jul-22-05  pantlko: lol.............

If there is a mistake I will hear from you. And indeed, next tournament will be Fide's worldchampionship tournament in September!

Premium Chessgames Member		  Annie K.: Wow, how did I make it to fifth place?! Kewl! :D

Thanks, <lostemperor>! :)

Jul-22-05  Montreal1666: <Annie K.> You are the best!!!

Going back to HP, Why has been in such big success? Hasn't there been many many classics childern books involving magic?

Jul-22-05
Premium Chessgames Member		  Annie K.: Um, nope, only fifth best, at least at this time, and in this tournament. ;)

<Going back to HP, Why has been in such big success? Hasn't there been many many classics childern books involving magic?>

Sure, but HP is not your average fairy tale. For one thing, Jo Rowling has an excellent sense of humor - those books are FUNNY!!! And she has all the other ingredients for a good read right, too. :) You really should give it a try - maybe from the beginning this time? ;)

Another thing about this series is, that the level rises with each book, along with the protagonist's age (each book covers one year). So by HP4, for example, it's more teenage literature than children's, anyway. However, it is fun right from the beginning. :)

Jul-22-05  Montreal1666: <Annie K.:> Ok so you are saying the similar past books are not as funny. Thanks. If you ever decide to write a summary of the HP1, we will all read it with pleasure!!!
Jul-22-05
Premium Chessgames Member		  Annie K.: That I don't want to do, because I would rather people read it for themselves. ;)
Jul-22-05  TIMER: <lostemperor> Thanks for the congratulations.

I enjoy these events, and I am especially looking forward to the most important tournament of all, the (FIDE)World Championship in September!

Jul-27-05  fgh: What? I ended up 5th (or 6th)? Maybe I'am not so bad in making predictions afterall :-)
Jul-28-05  witty: Can someone answer my following question:

If there are queens and kings on board and white has one extra pawn on e5, is the game a draw or win for white, or else draw or win depends on kings or queens position?

Jul-28-05  Montreal1666: <witty:> you should post this question on Kibitzer's cafe.
Jul-30-05  Queens Gambit: I was wondering wich game received the prize to the brilliance game????
Jan-14-06  iron maiden: The dates and format of the 2006 edition of Dortmund were just announced on the homepage of the Aeroflot Open.

<As in the three previous tournaments, the organizers of AEROFLOT OPEN 2006 and the super tournament in Dortmund have agreed that the winner of A1 tournament in Moscow will be invited to play in Dortmund from 23 July to 5 August 2006. This year a two-round round-robin tournament of six players (category XIX) will be held.>

From http://aeroflotchess.com/.

Jan-14-06  Mameluk: Mhm, bad news for chess and mainly for top chessplayers. They won´t have again where to play, A winner, Naiditsch and only 4 spots more with almost 20 elite players...
Jan-14-06  diction: yes, a decision like that goes somewhat against the times when there are more and more players in the elite
Jun-30-06  suenteus po 147: It seems things have changed slightly since the last post. Rather than six players, this year's Dortmund will feature eight players, but in a single round robin tournament rather than a double. Isn't this extremely low? There will only be 28 games played by the end.
