Aug-07-05  shortsight: < ... medals on basis of percentages that wouldnt make sense if for example someone just played once or twice ... > Well, for most of the team championships, that's the way to determine best board players. But, they do take into account of this, where players are valid for the board prizes if only they had played a number of minimum games in the championship, says, at least 5 games.

Nov-30-11  wordfunph: "The biggest success my wife (Elmira Skripchenko) had is her participation in the tournament poker in Las Vegas, she won 80 thousand dollars within only 4 days. In principle, you can win a lot in poker. So, now my wife is the main breadwinner of our family (laughs)!"

- GM Laurent Fressinet

happy 30th birthday GM Fressinet!

Mar-24-12  waustad: Welcome back to the 2700 club. I suppose the only real advantage to that over 2695 from the fan's perspective is that your live rating is posted now.

  Penguincw: He jumped more than anyone else in the 2700 club right now (23 places!). McShane is next, jumping 19 places.

  Penguincw: Fressinet won to take the lead at 8/10, ahead of 7 half back. He has black against Dmitry Jakovenko, and a draw insures at least shared first.

In terms of rating, he is now France #1, and also the only Frenchman in the 2700 club. Congratz!

  Penguincw: He stumbled in the end, due to a decisive mistake on move 33. Nevertheless, he still picks up a silver (finishes up with 8/11), over 18 rating points, and a ticket to the World Cup 2013 (I assume).
Apr-02-12  twinlark: <Penguincw> He does.

Thanks. Although I'm not sure they use a prime number of people qualify. Maybe it's 24, and a grand total of 48 get in.

Apr-02-12  twinlark: <Penguincw>

According to Chessdom, 23 will qualify: http://www.chessdom.com/dmitry-jako.... 14 are known but it seems they want to be certain of the tiebreak results as they'll have to split the field that scored 7.5.

Nov-30-12  brankat: Happy Birthday GM Fressinet!

Kramnik vs Fressinet, 2013

Apr-29-13  Chessinfinite: Laurent was made to behave properly by the World Champion today at Alekhine Memorial.

Fressinet's brilliance may work against his master Kramnik, not against Anand :!

Maybe Laurent will consider kissing Anand's shoe next time :)

Aug-12-13  Marmot PFL: Does Fressinet have 2 or 3 syllables?
Aug-12-13  Nerwal: <Does Fressinet have 2 or 3 syllables?>

3. Frey (as in prey) - si - nay

Aug-12-13  Marmot PFL: Thanks, that's fairly close to what I guessed.
