yamateur: hi all!
siamesedream: hello
Garnoth: I''ve been waiting for this :D
Garnoth: hope kramnik makes a good performance, Carlsen today so he has his work cut out
Hasan: Go Carlsen
JohnColtrane: Hi from Argentina
Hasan: Hi from Palestine
JohnColtrane: Hi Hasan
JohnColtrane: 1 hour
Hasan: Hi John
Hasan: 45 min
JohnColtrane: this hour will be a century
Hasan: Who will win Tal Mo you guess
JohnColtrane: Does anybody know the linfk of the official broadcast
JohnColtrane: Well, I hope that Chucy wins
JohnColtrane: Ivanchuk
JohnColtrane: but, it is a very strong tournament, may be Carseln wins it
gargle: i'm rooting for either vishy or ivanchuk to win! and they play each other first round :/
JohnColtrane: http://russiachess.org/online/
JohnColtrane: this is the oficial broadcast page
JohnColtrane: Will Carlsen play 1.e4?
siamesedream: Carlsen - Kramnik Ruy Lopez draw
Bendik75: im betting on 1.d4 by Magnus! only 27 min to go...
JohnColtrane: or Scotish
Garnoth: don't think kramnik will play the ruy
Garnoth: maybe petrov or something new (I hope)
JohnColtrane: Levon is also a candidate to win this tournament
Garnoth: levon is always a candidate to win tournaments, the guy plays fantastic chess!
Garnoth: never dull
oak: How about every player is a candidate to win ?
JohnColtrane: well, oak
JohnColtrane: I think Leko and Ponoariov are not candidates
JohnColtrane: But it is a personal opinion
siamesedream: I root for Aronian
oak: I think if favourites always won, sport wouldnt be interesting
oak: and therefore it would have no reason to exist
JohnColtrane: The point here, oak, is that at least 5 players are favourite
JohnColtrane: Here are playing 10 of the 13 better ranked
JohnColtrane: Because of that, it is a very very strong tournament
siamesedream: but it would be nice to see Morozevich winning such event
JohnColtrane: I like very much the style of Mamedyarov
JohnColtrane: His games are always interesting, they include sacrifices...
JohnColtrane: well. 13 minutes
JohnColtrane: I would really pay to see a scotish in Carlsen-Kramnik game
siamesedream: and Scotch in Kramnik's hand
JohnColtrane: hehehehe
JohnColtrane: or in our hands, siamesedream. It would be not bad
JohnColtrane: we need a live video!!!
Garnoth: I wonder what openings vishy will play
MrMagoo: hola John, here from Argentina too.
MrMagoo: my preference today and ever is Ivanchuk, probably would not win though.
JohnColtrane: Hi MrMagoo
pkaragianis: good morning fellow American chess fans... and good afternoon or eveening to everyone else.
pesho: Please welcome the commentators for today GM Bauer, NM Pete Karagianis, and Jason Juett. Thank you for joining us!
MrMagoo: welcome to commentators, Where are they going to post their comments? In this very same chat?
pkaragianis: MrMagoo- most of the comments are posted in the game chat, so you have to click on the game to open it and then you can see the comments.
MrMagoo: thks!
chanuchess: hi
pkaragianis: I suppose I should have a look at Carlsen-Kramnik, that is probably the most popular game today.
waustad: Light blue is not that easy to see over grey.
DjBoris: Hello at all, from Spain, international arbiter Luis Blasco
LuisBlasco: Hello at all, International Arbiter Luis Blasco, speakin from Madrid
pesho: welcome, Luis!
LuisBlasco: Hello Pesho, interesting games today, regards to my friend Bauer
pkaragianis: I think we should all thank chessdom for this great new setup- I love the tabbed viewing of games and the live commentary setup.
pkaragianis: GREAT job on the design, guys!
waustad: OK with the multiple colors it works better with Darkness instead of Blueness or the others.
neigeren: @pk totally agree, I guess every site will look like this in the near future
pesho: @waustad, it's no coincidence that Darkness is the default :)
ULTRAMODERNIST: well its about time chess gave black a lil respect!! haha
gargle: try black tie y'all...it's nicer than blackness
siamesedream: Round 2: Kramnik - Anand; Svidler - Ivanchuk; Ponomariov - Aronian; Leko - Gelfand; Carlsen - Morozevich
waustad: The problem with any of the themes that use a grey background like black tie or blueness is that it is hard to see the light blue. Perhaps that would be less of an issue with black tie because it is a lighter grey background. I'll give it a look tomorrow
parashgambit: when does it start today?
yamateur: 13:00 i think
parashgambit: thanks
Chessdom: Hello everybody and welcome to the day 2 coverage of live games from Tal Memorial. The games start at 13:00 CET (12:00 GMT)

siamesedream: about 2 and a half hour from now
manCatur: I hope MC will win today
Andastra: he will win against gelfand
DrKnowNothing: has carlsen ever beat gelfand in classical time
merlin_zt: ohh my..
merlin_zt: they r tie up 2-2 with 12 draws!!!
merlin_zt: ohhh
merlin_zt: there r some blitz games there
merlin_zt: carlsen has to play for win with black pieces too if he wants to have a chance winning this tournament
Akireta: Moro-Kramnik should be a good fight :)
boby: Welcome to GM Christian Bauer, who will be commenting live the games from today's round!
filencio: 7 Minutes to go
saki: Excellent portal. Enhancement suggestions: 1. Indicate novel move 2. Allow users to analyze the board by moving around pieces and possibly allow their own chess engine ( from their machine) to analyze the moves
boby: Hello to Pete Karagianis, Coach "K", who will be covering games as well today!
kravi: If anand was keen to score a win, the best chance was to play 1.e4 against Svidler
anandchess: but he wants to experiment 1)d4 a little more
ChessandStrategy: Hello from Paris
jphi2b: hey
jphi2b: hello from Bastia
ChessandStrategy: :))
ChessandStrategy: Quel temps fait-il à Bastia
rmontesori: looks like ivan wants this point
siamesedream: Round 4: Kramnik-Svidler; Ponomariov-Anand; Leko-Ivanchuk; Carlsen-Aronian; Morozevich-Gelfand
siamesedream: Chessninja reports:
siamesedream: The bad news is that there are reports of at least two of the players falling ill. Magnus Carlsen is suffering from a fever bad enough to consider requesting a postponement of his round four game. He's been to the doctor, so let's hope things improve.
siamesedream: I also heard a comment that Kramnik is dealing with some flu symptoms. If so, he should get the flu more often the way he shredded Morozevich today.
yamateur: do they play today- sunday i mean?
siamesedream: yes
siamesedream: Round 4 will start for about an hour
siamesedream: Tomorrow is the rest day
yamateur: dzięki
eck: kramnik is my favourite. I think he was even stronger than MC when drawing
yamateur: MC plays under a big pressure, i think
eck: MC's openings were tremendous in Beijing, but here he is back to his "ordinary"
merlin_zt: in my opinion his first game against kramnik disturbed his confidence
merlin_zt: today i think is his last chance to come back
eck: hard with a flu
merlin_zt: flu?
eck: siamesedream says he has fever
merlin_zt: ohh really?
merlin_zt: didn't know this
eck: Kramnik and Carlsen
yamateur: i hopem they won't flu away from the memorial:)
manCatur: Carlsen will win today?
yamateur: i hope so
Chessdom: Magnus Carlsen has been confirmed to have the flu. Espen Agdestein informed that Carlsen has been given antibiotics. He is sick, but he will play today.
manCatur: sickness factor will effect his energy to play good move
manCatur: it is a miracle if Carlsen can win this tourney...:)
64Squarehead: hi
64Squarehead: is this Chessdom service entirely free for users?
64Squarehead: with flu against aronian...
64Squarehead: OTOH, if an opponent tells me he has a flu these days, I wouldn't feel very comfortable
JavierSoto: yea, but cant aronian fall in the trap of feeling too relaxed knowing his oponent is sick?
JavierSoto: plus, i think carlsen is trying to play for a draw from move 1
64Squarehead: that would seem logical
64Squarehead: the question will arise if Carlsen should test if he has H1N1
Chessdom: The only confirmed thing is that he has flu symptoms and fever, we are keeping contact with Moscow and will let you know if any official tests are done.
64Squarehead: thank you
martzobg: greets
Jupp53: Now a guess after the games are out of the first moves: How many games will be won/lost today?
Jupp53: 2 is my guess.
64Squarehead: just a technical remark, I just noticed that the borders l/r of the chessboard are freely adjustable
bekki: Magnus Carlsen has been confirmed fever and possibly the flu. Espen Agdestein informed Nettavisen that Carlsen has been given antibiotics. He is sick, but he will play today.
pesho: The Spanish CECLUB final is broadcasted currently live on ChessBomb as well. There are some interesting pairings. You can open it from the 'Rooms' tab.
siamesedream: Whats time control in Spanish CECLUB games?
DrKnowNothing: today is a rest day correct??
siamesedream: correct
siamesedream: Tuesday - round 5:
siamesedream: Gelfand - Kramnik; Aronian - Morozevich; Ivanchuk - Carlsen; Anand - Leko; Svidler - Ponomariov
sham12: how many rounds all together?
siamesedream: 5 round to go
siamesedream: 4 rounds finished
manCatur: Hi all....:D
manCatur: I just wonder whether Carlsen can prevail his rating at 2800 barrier after this tournament
yamateur: Hi all
DrKnowNothing: is carlsen still sick?
DrKnowNothing: should start now right?
yamateur: in 55 min
yamateur: will kramnik win?
DrKnowNothing: nah
jayestom: he only needs to finish +1 to do that
jayestom: what time does it start?
yamateur: 13:00
hchinaski: greetings
Garnoth: gelfand usually plays Nf3 after Nf6, e6, so I wonder what Kramnik is going to play there, possibly queens gambit
bekki: carlsen is feeling better..
bekki: lets hope we will see an offencive carlsen today...
Goran: Hi everyone
ChessMan: hi
manCatur: can you exlain to me what is the meaning finish +1 ?

bekki: so what ?? thats irrelevant !
amitdjoshi: ty
amitdjoshi: ty siamesedream

Garnoth: another 30 mins and we can enjoy more awesome chess
Garnoth: you know what would be awesome, a strong player annotating all games and publishing a tournament book ala bronstein
Garnoth: there are so many great games in this tourney that it would be an awesome book!
luiscidoncha: yeah, that'd be great
luiscidoncha: or maybe the players anotating the games themselves
Garnoth: even better, although some of them annotate strictly with variations (Anand does this) which is not that fun to read

GMAveskulov: Hello everyone! I’m happy to join you during the last round of the strongest tournament this year.
GMAveskulov: Standings before the 9-th round promise us a high-quality show. Ivanchuk is just a half of point behind of Anand and Kramnik. He has white pieces and positive score in more than 80 games against Russian GM. In the same time Kramnik so far has an excellen
ArcticStones2: Are the rounds starting early today?
GMAveskulov: In the same time Kramnik so far has an excellent tournament and plays a super chess.
ArcticStones2: It’s wonderful to see Kramnik doing well -- and even more so, his riskier and more dynamic style.
GMAveskulov: Anand also has good chances to secure the first place with white pieces against Aronian.
GMAveskulov: Who will be up to mark and become the new winner of Tal memorial? This is the question! Just 35 minutes left to start…
kamalakanta: I am betting on Kramnik
ArcticStones2: Well, let’s not dismiss Vassily Ivanchuk’s chances either. He’s brilliant when he is at his best. And that one victory of his was pure artistry!
laldonkaments: i hope carlsen is going for the win
laldonkaments: but it's very difficult against drawko :D
simsan: I will be impressed if the Leko game turns exciting and doesn't peter out into a draw..
chess_pirito: hi

simsan: The beginning of each round - 15.00 msk
chess_pirito: cool,
simsan: Nothing about a later start on the 14th
BigAlex: great!
