Hjorth 8,0      Sep-27-13 FIDE Grand Prix Paris (2013)    Benjamin1981: It also makes Tiviakov look like a slighty sadistic school teacher except, his pupils are grown ups and in fact know more than him. Very unpleasant.      Sep-06-13 Sinquefield Cup (2013)    Benjamin1981: Im so drunk!      Aug-28-13 World Cup (2013)    Benjamin1981: I believe Kramnik did qualify from the 1993 FIDE interzonal and player in the candidates that led to the Karpov -Kamsky match.      Dec-17-12 Magnus Carlsen    Benjamin1981: This is perhaps off topic, but anyway.

Start wearing sandals?      Oct-25-12 Capablanca vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1922    Benjamin1981: You might be right Marmot PFL but Znosko-Borovsky was also past his peak in 1922, he really wasn't one of capas main competitors. In chessmetric terms this was a game between a 2850 and a 2480.      Oct-25-12 Emanuel Lasker    Benjamin1981: That composition was beautiful!      Oct-01-12 Grand Slam Chess Final (2012)    Benjamin1981: Absentee is that chessmetricranking? If so Kasparov was #1 on chessmetric at 19y 5m compared to Fischer #1 on chessmetric at 20y 11m. If you mean chessmetric then please dont mix Chessmetric with ELO.
