Jan-22-10 Corus Group B (2010) 
| |
| Thuellin: I was really expecting Akobian to do much better than this. :-( |
|

Jan-18-10 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| Thuellin: No, he's not ( http://www.houseofstaunton.com/HOS/... ). Disproportionately few of the very-top chess players seem to be left-handed, for some reason. |

Jan-13-10 World Team Championship (2010)
| |
| Thuellin: Clearly Gashimov and Radjabov took the day off because there was no other result that would allow them to have the exact same rating (2740.2). |

Jan-10-10 Shakhriyar Mamedyarov
| |
| Thuellin: Mamedyarov is back in the live top 10 now. This gives us our first time with Mamedyarov > Gashimov > Radjabov, which means we've seen every possible permutation of the top three Azerbaijani players on the live list! Kind of ridiculous. |

Nov-23-09 World Cup (2009)
