guest174861: when going to start>?
guest366047: how long need to wait??
guest608847: The games should start in half an hour -- provided there is no built-in delay from Nanjing Pearl’s official site, nor any technological or human glitch here on ChessBomb. Crossing my fingers and toes! :)
guest608847: Live games are also being transmitted on Chessdom.com. I’ll probably have that open as well.
guest608847: It should start in 12 minutes...
guest608847: Could someone associated with ChessBomb please confirm that you have a connection with Nanjing. Where are you getting the moves from?

guest223629: ouala
boby: loaded
guest288011: Norwegians: what happen to Origo today?
guest004877: In my opinion Origo does not meet my expectations. I think we should mova away from it. I like ChessBomb!
guest766439: come on...
guest242337: what is scoring system used here which gives Carlsen 12.75 pts
guest843986: it's 5 pts
guest843986: 12.75 is the Neustadtl score
guest843986: (also known as Sonneborn-Berger)
ArcticStones: Good morning! Even more than yesterday’s game, I am looking forward to today’s Topalov--Carlsen slugfest. May the best man win!
guest153812: can you explain how neustadtl work?
guest153812: why wang yue has more points than topalov in this sysstem?
ArcticStones: There is good explanation of Neustadtl here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonneborn-Berger
guest153812: thx
ArcticStones: Sorry, this is the direct link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neustadtl_score
guest153812: it's ok i found it
guest153812: it's a nice tiebreak sytem..
guest153812: topa must be really angry with his previous loss to carlsen.This should be fun...
ArcticStones: Actually, Topalov played even worse yesterday. Too bad Jakovenko stumbled; his victory would have pushed Topalov below 2800.
Skz: Good morning people. A new day, and what a way to spend some hours at work ;) Looking forward to this
ArcticStones: Today Topalov is fighting for his honour. I mean: how credible will his World Championship match with Viswanathan Anand be if he lost BOTH games to Carslen in Nanjing? :)
guest153812: I am afraid that carlsen is not even thinking about the full point today.A draw should be just fine for him after yesterday's game..
Theokratix: Agreed, except for the fact that a black who tries for victory more easily gets a draw than if he plays for draw.
guest153812: yes you r right
guest153812: you know i was intimidated yesterday because if you look the game leko-crlsen carefully you lle see that carlsen made almost no mistakes but still he was so close in loosing the game..
guest608312: i think topa-mc will an exciting game with final result of 0-1 or 1/2
guest434374: Wang Yue will surely crush Carlsen,carlsen is already down
guest908456: remark reflects your chess knowledge
guest126934: 3 games to go. who will be second ?
guest348279: calsen
guest761342: you missed your prediction
flint: anyone here?
gewgaw: hello
ArcticStones: Two rounds to go...I have a humble but realistic wish: That we may see another day of solid, creative and entertaining chess from Magnus Carlsen! :)
gewgaw: solid creative and entertaining?
jfchessmaster: it will be an interesting game bewten radj-mc
pesho: The last round tomorrow starts 5 hours earlier (at 2:00 AM GMT)
svein: see you tomorrow
ArcticStones: Pesho, glad to see that ChessBomb is up-to-speed and intends timely broadcast of Nanjing’s concluding Round 10! (That’s a delightful contrast to the sad demise of ChessOK, which has been repeatedly sleeping on its watch.)
siamesedream: thanks guys for broadcasting this (and all past and future) great tournament. Congratulations to Magnus!
F22: Tal Memorial starts on November 5th
F22: Will you guys get the Rybka working so that we have higher depth analysis during the games?
F22: say 2 minutes instead of 20 seconds?
