< Earlier Kibitzing · PAGE 7 OF 7 · Later Kibitzing>
Sep-13-17		SugarDom: Don't even mention the name, it's unspeakable.

Sep-13-17		tuttifrutty: <<SugarDom> I wouldn't call young Wesley a "punk" > I agree...but I would call Sugardom a punk instead... <but yes, I do think Jobava has excellent chances of winning tomorrow.> My crystal ball says BJ has a slim .0001% chance of winning.

Sep-13-17		Arconax: <fruitcake: My crystal ball says BJ has a slim .0001% chance of winning.> I have more faith in <SugarDom>'s (and my own) assessment of tomorrow's game between Jobava and So than your "crystal ball" predictions, thank you very much.

Sep-13-17		tuttifrutty: We shall see...

Sep-13-17		SugarDom: Jobava the Hut's stockfish is working just fine. He's receiving the morse code from his left shoe. Putting the lights out on Punk Solo.

Sep-13-17		Nonnus: If only Joba can put his N at h5 and his heavy artilleries on the g-file

Sep-13-17		Nonnus: Current position looks very good for Joba. The g7 and h6 pawns are sitting ducks targets

Sep-13-17		SugarDom: Jobava is ahead in tempo and clock. Always a dangerous combination.

Sep-13-17		SugarDom: Very high quality fight. No real blunders so far...

Sep-13-17		geniokov: I think it's a draw! White cannot make any chances to convert it into substantial advantage. The only advantage White has is computer evaluation.

Sep-13-17		SugarDom: Exactly <geniokov>. The idiots in the WS page is too slow in the uptake. That what happens when they ban people like us there.

Sep-13-17		geniokov: I was impressed about Jobaba's handling of White pieces!

Sep-13-17		geniokov: Jobava is a dangerous player. He must not be understimated. He is the same as GM Kiril Giorgiev!

Sep-13-17		SugarDom: But this is looking more like a draw than a decisive result.

Sep-13-17		geniokov: Correct Sugardom!

Sep-13-17		SugarDom: Rooks and pawns endgames with equal material are mostly drawn.

Sep-13-17		SugarDom: In other words it's a <technical draw>.

Sep-13-17		geniokov: After Black's..g5 then it would be draw!

Nov-16-17		waustad: This week the Austrian Bundesliga starts, with Jobava playing first board for Sparkasse Jenbach. Games are on live via http://chess-results.com/live.aspx?...

Nov-26-17		Ironmanth: Happy birthday, Grandmaster! Surely enjoy your daring and brilliant style. Cheers, sir!

Dec-15-17		posoo: WAT dos dis man have in his EARES?

Aug-03-19		alexmagnus: http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev... That's quite a rating chart... What happened?

Aug-06-19		Troller: <alexmagnus: http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev... Just noticed that as well - saw him on CB with 2584 and wondered if there was another Jobava. But I do not know of an explanation.

Nov-26-21		0ZeR0: Happy birthday to the Georgian madman!
