Chessdom: Hello everyone, the moment games start they will appear instead of the loading sign

Assios: kk^^
magnetor: anand is a better player in the long run, and he got honor
siamesedream: because they had best offer]
Chessdom: They are changing the positions of the players and the tables
siamesedream: money money money
Assios: ah
Chessdom: There will be up to 30 min delay i.e. games are expected at 11:30 now
ManuelMC: Anand is going to crush topa
Assios: kk, then i have time to take a shower, brb
WidowTwanky: I guess there's no webcam
Chessdom: the moment they are live, the loading sign will be replaced with the boards signal
ManuelMC: enough time for to go to have a breakfast
Assios: ah ok, btw, will you broadcast all games?
alexmagnus: grr
Chessdom: That can happen any moment from now to 11:30 (in 15 minutes max)
magnetor: not all games, but magnus games for sure
siamesedream: time control: 3+2?
mido25: what is the different between blitz and rapid ?
Chessdom: 3+2 is the time control, yes
siamesedream: time
magnetor: speed
siamesedream: rapid 25+
waustad: Rapid usually is 25 minutes plus an increment
Assios: ye
mido25: ah ok
magnetor: lowest rapid is 15 min
magnetor: on icc
Assios: 3+2 is too much time for Naka to have a chance against Magnus;9
mido25: started
Andastra: it starts
Assios: Haha
magnetor: lol assi
siamesedream: i see u changed clocks - adding seconds - great
Chessdom: And games are live:)
mido25: lets c carlsen game
siamesedream: it would be surprise if the final would be other than MC - Naka
Andastra: when is the next round?
ManuelMC: all white wins
ManuelMC: but naka didnt win!!
ManuelMC: naka lost
ManuelMC: what is this?
alik: yes. what's up with the scores?
alik: any official opinion on this?
alik: chessdom?
guitov: always white for magnus and naka ?
ManuelMC: official opiniont says naka won
ggrant: Chessbomb Admin: Can you move the Oxford Dictionary ad from the tab bar? It blocks being able to select other tabs. Even if you press the ad, it remaining blocking other choices!!!
username: hehe, after nakamura had lost chessdom just changed the game to copy carlsen's instead, and with nakamura as the winer :)
alexmagnus: lol
username: or maybe nakamura actually had black in that first game?
ChessBomb: @ggrant: clear your cache and refresh!
username: well, no one knows, it seems
ManuelMC: naka won on time i guess
Metim: I guess but it's a little puzzling
ManuelMC: or maybe stokke´s cellphone rang
ManuelMC: the official site says naka won with white
acirce: maybe an illegal move.
Assios: hm
username: must have been on time then, otb he was lost since a long time
Assios: i thought the official website said he won with black?
acirce: no, it says he won with white.
ManuelMC: an illegal move i think that too
Assios: how?
ManuelMC: because naka was down in the clock
ManuelMC: in a lost position
username: the time given here had stokke with 27 sec ad nakamura with 0 but maybe that was wrong
Metim: i guess the little pairing number to the right means white, left is black...
ManuelMC: the time not being corretly update perhaps
Assios: i thought it was the other way
Assios: left was white
sani: its not so complicated - the table was turned in here
acirce: "illegal move" is my best guess
sani: black was white and white was black
ManuelMC: Assios; look that magnus also was white
sani: so naka won
Assios: ah yeah
cheski: naka did his tricks and won
username: strange position to make an illegal move though, he just promoted a pawn
acirce: maybe he didn't
acirce: common in blitz just to leave your pawn there since it was probably about to be captured anyway
ManuelMC: maybe he promote a white piece instead of a black piece
acirce: ie e2-e1
acirce: and naka claiming the game because of that
ManuelMC: maybe a wrong management of clock during the promotion
ManuelMC: i dont know
username: ok, maybe naka did claim the win claiming that the transmitted e1Q never was played but it instead was e1P...
Assios: ah, yeah
Metim: maybe stokke put a strawberry down insted of a q
username: a bit lucky if so, he was dead lost with no time left
Assios: yea
ChessBomb: We just fixed a small clock bug. Refresh the page to see more accurate clocks.
ManuelMC: a rook down maybe
ManuelMC: a rook down=a queen
username: same thig happeed in tal blitz, ivanchuk just left a pawn after "promoting" it, but mamedyarov offered draw
GaeBulg: are there only these 4 players here, or is chessbomb only broadcasting these games?
ManuelMC: maybe the other games are going to be played later
catfishcore: theres more players
acirce: wouldn't blame nakamura if that is what happened. i think that habit is annoying, especially if you are in bad time trouble.
Assios: only broadcasting these games
Assios: hm yeah
Metim: http://bnbankblitz.sjakk.no/resultater.html
ManuelMC: the other games r being played
ManuelMC: check the official site
Assios: haha, Anders Hobber (2132) beat GM Peter Heine Nielsen (2697) with black! :p
ManuelMC: wow
ManuelMC: is GM Heine overated?
Assios: nope:p
username: Chessbomb ow claim that the first naka game had him as black
Assios: yeah
Assios: but according to http://bnbankblitz.sjakk.no/resultater.html , he was white
Assios: :o
acirce: makes sense, they played with the wrong colours
ManuelMC: maybe they change sits after a couple of moves when stokke went to the bath
caissa1: Monika is OUT, Schade
Assios: yep, Stokke was white in the first round
ManuelMC: one time when i went to the bath my opponent hide my rook!!! he was and old man
Metim: he also probably steals batteries
bigwolfie: he knew you were using pocket fritz in the bathroom, so wanted to even odds
ManuelMC: lol
VerdeN: does anyone know how the other groups are getting on?
ManuelMC: check the web site
ManuelMC: http://bnbankblitz.sjakk.no/resultater.html

neigeren: good question
13DogKnight: wt--where did they get that photo of my girlfriend at the blitz table on the cam??
bigwolfie: If two playes end up with the same score, the ranking goes as follows: 1) most victories 2) the results of the players involved in the tie 3) score against other players in the group from the top 4) if everything else is equal it will be decided by Armage
