rolfo: anyone here?
saravanan: when the games are going to start ?\
rolfo: 25 min
ArcticStones2: Great! Thx, Pesho. :) :) :)
ArcticStones2: While we’re waiting, you can enjoy this: http://www.chesspanda.com/2009/11/becerranakamura-12-move-knockout.html. It’s a recent game where Hikaru Nakamura is destroyed by Julio Becerra (rated 140 points lower) in just 12 moves!
rolfo: Naka won't like us to watch it ;)
anandrulez: hello friends
anandrulez: when do we start
sargis: 15 min
anandrulez: danke
anandrulez: where ati ?
waustad: Thanks!
greenknight: ouch, and we thought anand's loss in round 9 was bad
simsan: Are we going to get a relay of all the games here?
simsan: Anybody who remembers what the quality of the relay was like last year?
simsan: I seem to recall that blitz tournaments tend to be hampered with a lot of delays and technical glitches
anandrulez: Yeah vishy took a bad beating
anandrulez: conseutive white loses vs a sngle player is probbly un heard of for Visy
anandrulez: Vishy
rolfo: expect some relay troubles
Morrowind: Blitz on DGT board can give unclear result
oja60: when does it start ?
guest007: 12:00 GMT
xtrabrain: what time the game will start?
saravanan: aronian has employed the same line with same "e6" and failed to gain advantage and he might have gone deeper in that line and it was anand's mistake to employ it aginst aronian
bakalao: are you Susan around?
xtrabrain: 12:00 GMT
xtrabrain: Thanks...
rolfo: Susan still sleeping :)
Grungean: hello all
anandrulez: poor her
anandrulez: hey
anandrulez: grungean
xtrabrain: dear freinds give respect to others..
anandrulez: any preditions ?
anandrulez: for the winner of the tournament
xtrabrain: carlsen gonna lose.
xtrabrain: Chucky wins
anandrulez: lol - i am with vishy
Sti: Hi guys, I can't see any board yet, will it be one?
bakalao: wake up Susan, please and talk to us
saravanan: Anand!!!
thomandy: This will be fun, Im rooting for Magnus :)
bekki: susan is playing isnt she ?
rolfo: Susan didn't find the green ink :)
shahost: i think she playes today :)
shahost: :) thats jusit :)
shahost: judit*
Lovegoat: Will the games pop up in the window to the right when they start?
ArcticStones2: This is blitz chess for the participants -- blind chess for us. lol
anandrulez: lol
shahost: transmission can be a issiue ...
rolfo: I will be surprised if we see a board ..
rolfo: hope I am mistaken
shahost: The server at tal.russiachess.org is taking too long to respond.
xtrabrain: its the time..
KingKong: Why is Naka not invited?
kfour: Don't be pessimistic!
guest007: he was invited but couldn;t play
KingKong: Oh, ok.
ArcticStones2: Indeed, I have never seen successful transmission of blitz games. At best the moves tend to come in chunks, due to much-too-infrequent refresh rates. I have never seen moves transmitted at a steady pace that reflects how the players are actually playing t
thomandy: are there any other alternatives if it wont work here??
xtrabrain: wht not Topolov
xtrabrain: Where is he hiding these days?
bakalao: naka is a coffee-player or sushi-player
rolfo: Topa, may be on Canary islands :)
NorthChess: anyone have a working link to a webcam?
ArcticStones2: Nakamura wasn’t invited because he is hanging his head in shame -- after losing this recent game in just 12 moves to Julio Becerra, rated 140 points lower! http://www.chesspanda.com/2009/11/becerranakamura-12-move-knockout.html
Chessdom: CUrrently the technical communication with the servers of the organizers is hindered, as soon as we have stable contact we hope to start transmission. If there is additional info (round results, standings) they will be placed on Chessdom.com.
shahost: has playchess or icc transfer?
oja60: Fantastic!!
Steinitz: vid address?
ArcticStones2: ChessDom: Do we perchance have the option of watching all the boards at once -- as a mozaic?
shahost: write a custom css maybee ArticStones2 ;)
xtrabrain: thanks
ArcticStones2: Switching easily back and forth between tabs, as ChessBomb allows, is brilliant! But I suspect it won’t be quick enough for the blitz.
ArcticStones2: I’m not a programmer. That said, this is by far the best interface and user experience I have EVER seen in online chess coverage! Kudos to the designers and programmers at ChessBomb’s!!!
guest007: no ki-blitz-ing today?
ArcticStones2: And to ChessDom for recognising that quality -- and initiating a cooperation with them, adding expert commentary.
Gurgeh: It is always difficult to get good relay for blitz
KingKong: Any link to home page?
Aram14: Hi everyone
Gurgeh: And often difficult to even get good standings
EeEk: Nakamura was invited, but declined his invitation
rolfo: I miss the simple notation (1 e4 instead of 1e2-e4)
guest007: 6676uyhh
NorthChess: Totally agree with Arctic on the interface/user expirience-comment! CBomb has changed Chess-watching for an amaetur like myself.
Trond: http://tal.russiachess.org/ ,, but it does not work ...
pesho: @rolfo, we have simple notation already (since yesterday)
rolfo: thanks
bollaP: total agreed north
pesho: @all - sorry for the delay, as soon as the organizers fix their technical issues, the broadcast will start
anandrulez: its party time when does this start
shahost: maybe add fen support ;)
KingKong: Is there a home page?
anandrulez: pesho : this site is written in whih language
Ichi74: lol nice the 12 moves game from Nakamura. I remember him on FICS loosing the Queen in bullet game after few moves because he badly premoved and disconnecting after that without finishing the game
anandrulez: its good looking
klypp: there is a home page, but nobody seems to be at home
anandrulez: NAKA in FICS ?
shahost: stop hit refresh on tal site and maybee server get oki soon ;)
Ichi74: some years ago yes
Ichi74: uhm...he was..Quarrel I think
anandrulez: right nowdays fics is not frequented by GM's muh
anandrulez: mich*
Morrowind: what time will this start?
Ichi74: Aronian played a lot of Bughouse in FICS
Ichi74: very nice guy to chat with
anandrulez: should have started by now , but technial difficult at the site
anandrulez: Aronian is a nice person
anandrulez: except for one thing
gerra: when does the game start ??
anandrulez: Aronian - Vishy games
Ichi74: I asked him: could you examine an opening line with me? and he kindly watched it and gave me suggestions!
anandrulez: the games started alrady i guess , technical issues
Oxnard: Good evening all
anandrulez: I see, thats very kind of him
gerra: ok thx
Trond: hit refresh sound like using a heart-starter
anandrulez: he is RLA right ?
Ichi74: RLN
anandrulez: right
Ichi74: it seems impossible he is a super-gm :) too kind and funny guy
Ichi74: even with cheesn00bs like me!
bakalao: come on Susan, wake up and fiks that
gerra: what is the problem ?
Trond: most superGMs has got the intelligence to understand that being nice benefits themselves :-)
Ichi74: nice point
anandrulez: hehe
ArcticStones2: Pesho, I also think it’s amazing that ChessBomb immediately notifies its users of technical glitches and status. Keep up the great work!! :D
yamateur: when do they start?
KingKong: Is ICC relaying the event?
anandrulez: lol Trond - not me I guess maybe thats y i am not intelligent
Ichi74: ChesBomb = great. I totally enjoyed tal Memorial. cant say ty enough times.
anandrulez: Which language is used for this site ?
klypp: I'm not a superGM, but I always tell my opponent he played well if I won... hoping he will make the same mistake next time
anandrulez: :)
Chessdom: Still no contact with russiachess.org, the second we have contact and possibility for live transmission, it will appear on the right hand side.
anandrulez: russiachess did a good job at Tal M tourney
bakalao: thank you Chessdom, from russia with love
NorthChess: Chessdom: No worries. You will still have plenty of fans even if this transmission fails initially:)
Ichi74: thank you from Italy with love as well
Trond: anyone wants a day old reheated, now burned pasta bolognese? if not it goes into the trash ..
rolfo: anandrulez, they used Fortran V to make this page :)

Trond: if you are e newbie then chessmaster is good I think because of learning - things in it

Trond: fritz has also got these learning-things
bollaP: im a nub yes! :)

Trond: yes, I once was very drunk, but not soooo drunk, and halfsleeped myself into big money ...
bobi: bakalao hehehehe
checkmate666: how big money?
Trond: I had to triple my plastic-bag to carry the coins into the airplane ..

Chessdom: In any case the top game of the WYCC starts here at 17:00, no transmission problems from the site are expected. The pairings are not yet known as today is double round, but we will inform you when we have them.
Trond: I played a little online, won for some time, but then lost, and in the end I gave it up
Chessdom: There are still good chances to connect to Moscow, please be patient
Danhau: They start 17:00 at GMT 0
checkmate666: ok, online poker has gotten very hard seemingly, but I guess it depends on which site you play at

NorthChess: 4-4 in white/black wins in the first round!

techgambit89: live coverage, chat and blitz always ends in frustration
siamesedream: Kosteniuk lost
anandrulez: why ?
siamesedream: Gashimov draw
siamesedream: games are finished yet
gogomil: chuky beats kramnik in 11 moves
greenknight: I think they might be done. 21 rounds so that makes 7 per day

zorin: is it a break?
techgambit89: omg, look at judit polgar! who'd ever thought she be so high up after seven games!?

xtrabrain: progressive point
siamesedream: tie-break points
zorin: buchholz
xtrabrain: Magnus has beaten strong players, but lost to others
greenknight: I don't see where it says theres a double round robin
zorin: how could he lose to kosteniuk?
greenknight: blunder
arthurmogens: I am looking forward to the match between Karjakin and Carlsen!
zorin: ok
siamesedream: he stared at her eyes not at chessbooard
arthurmogens: siamese... lol
gogomil: where do you see standings?
greenknight: aronian and carlsen are also on 4.5 so theres a large pileup
wolkor: they are playing 42 rounds
greenknight: ok the live video feed is still up, and theres a couple bored officials wandering around the hall
LuckyStrike: any players specifically good at blitz? grischuk?
siamesedream: R 8 pairings:
siamesedream: Anand - Svidler Ivanchuk - Kramnik Gelfand - Dominguez Karjakin - Tkachiev Karpov - Mamedyarov Naiditsch - Grischuk Carlsen - Ponomariov Polgar - Morozevich Grischuk - Karpov Jakovenko - Kosteniuk
Oface: Karjakin has 6.5 i think so the standings is far from right
techgambit89: grischuck and svidler are supposed to be experts
LuckyStrike: some games have not been registered here
gogomil: where is standings?
arthurmogens: anyone remember the the rapid chessgames between Aronian and Carlsen after equals long matches in WM qualifications in 2007!?
arthurmogens: Magnus unfortunantly lost, but it was close matches! Magnus was only 15 years old then...
gogomil: dominges is the world cahmp ,and before him it was gruschuk and ivancuk
Oface: sorry karjakin has 5.5 :) not all the results is up on the games in the rounds so the scores is not right either
3d29: this championship is too fast for the interfnet
wolkor: anand, karjakin 5,5/7
3d29: we can`t get quick enough updates
3d29: lol
greenknight: anand is traditionally very good at blitz
gogomil: sure
wolkor: result at http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/
arthurmogens: If Karjakin won the match against Ponomariov he has 5.5
zorin: why dont they play?
Oface: yes i read ones that the chess club anand was playing at when he was young was so crowded that they only played blitz games. lol
wolkor: 3. Grishuk 5/7
zorin: no more games today?
anandrulez: why arent the games gettng updated ?
anandrulez: any idea
anandrulez: there has to be atleast 10 games today
anandrulez: i think ?
anandrulez: not sure
zorin: 14
arthurmogens: I think the administrators also needed a break... :)
anandrulez: right
anandrulez: righ
gogomil: i found it- anand and kariakin are leading on 5,5 griscuk is 3 on 5
zorin: crowded in the toilet?
Oface: we are half way :) 7 more rounds today
anandrulez: who is leading now
siamesedream: thttp://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/tournament_table_acc_places.html

greenknight: chessbomb can't keep up
gogomil: carlsen polgar svidler aroniaan on 4,5
Trond: while waiting : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fngiLiuK6I&feature=youtube_gdata
Morrowind: are standings current?
siamesedream: http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/tournament_table_acc_places.html
Oface: games with * has not been counted in to the standing thats why its not right
Voyager: Anand was virtually unbeatable at blitz in the late 80s & through the 90s, but things have changed.
greenknight: well, anand is shared first for now
Ichi74: still he is doing very well here
Ichi74: not a single game lost
LuckyStrike: carlsen lost on technical error in round 2, (easy draw if he hadnt) and blundered badly in round 3. sux for us norwegians
greenknight: karjakin also impressive, but the players 1 point behind are extremely strong so anything can happen
Oface: yes anand lost one
gogomil: only anand and grischuk havent lost a game
zorin: PLEASE START PLAYING
Oface: 1 draw and 1 loss for anand
greenknight: and karpov defying his critics by holding his own at 50%
username: karpov isn't playing kasparov now :-)
gogomil: in the standings anand is given with 3 drows and not a single loss???
greenknight: kasparov should play this!!
cheski: hi, i'm new here

siamesedream: http://www.aeroflotchess.com/online/
wolkor: last winner was Dominguez!
arthurmogens: But there are still 30 games left, so anything can happen here I think.
gogomil: yes,not svidler- he was never very good
siamesedream: 35 rounds left
cheski: Grischuk OR anAND will win this! I wish i could place the bet
LuckyStrike: polgar is doing very well
gogomil: garee, but can bet dominges will not get it 2 time

gogomil: click on Видеотрансляция
ULTRAMODERNIST: hehe
ULTRAMODERNIST: yeah on novelties !
SusanPolgar: Just updated the results here: http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2009/11/karjakin-anand-early-leaders-at-wbc.html
ULTRAMODERNIST: hey thanks
zorin: thx, susie
comperson: thank for the video site
ULTRAMODERNIST: one of my favorite sites! hehe
SusanPolgar: This is a brutal tournament, 42 rounds :)
siamesedream: Great start for Judit, Susan.
comperson: how come morozevich is not doing good
gogomil: anand- kramnik is a drow on the oficial site Suzan
ULTRAMODERNIST: wow
HetMes: Maby so, Susan, but how many minutes of play, do you think?
gogomil: sorry for typo
SusanPolgar: There will be little luck involved after 42 rounds. Whoever wins it deserve it :)
ULTRAMODERNIST: well i guess kostie and my lil sister have time to do their hair between rounds!
hchavarro: and Nakamura?
ULTRAMODERNIST: hehe
comperson: hehehe
shahost: lol
ULTRAMODERNIST: naka sleeping right now! h
zorin: JUDIT IS THE WINNER, Susan
comperson: ultra u r funny mate
ULTRAMODERNIST: hehe
Bezo: Dominguez come on!! :-)
ULTRAMODERNIST: zorin front runnin with the beauty the bum!
SusanPolgar: Hikaru needs to move to Europe and play for Norway :) Hard to compete in top level in the U.S.
greenknight: watch here: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
siamesedream: players sitting at the tables
ULTRAMODERNIST: oh yeah true but that wont last too much longere
gogomil: yes ,starting
ArcticStones2: IMHO, Carlsen is doing very well here. Let’s keep in mind that he lost two games due to technical errors -- and is still tied for third, merely 0.5 behind leaders Anand and Karjakin.
zorin: Naka is most welcome in Norway
Bompi: not many hikarus here in norway
Reverse: when does next round start?
Ichi74: it's unbeliavable the crap idiocy spamming on the chat in the official site :(
gogomil: kramnik waits for chuky- go chuky
ULTRAMODERNIST: norway stealin all the top guys!
ULTRAMODERNIST: russia stole karjak
comperson: it's about to start
greenknight: dumb norwegians have taken over the official site =p
gogomil: lol
Bezo: Judit Polgar has 5.5 is that right ?
bakalao: sushi-naka welcome to the fishcountry
ULTRAMODERNIST: hey yall i feel for jako thats gunna be one hard game!!! hehe
zorin: Judit-Moro looks fun
SusanPolgar: Chessdom is doing a good job covering this. Very hard to update 11 games each round every 10 minutes.
greenknight: no, its wrong
Katalysator: Yay, next round!
gogomil: no,she has 4,5
SusanPolgar: Judit has 4.5
Katalysator: I am Norwegian and pretty embarassed of the idiots speaking Norwegian in the official chat
Matt_Tsjakk: I know. It´s really embarrasing
comperson: carlsen will fall behind
shahost: http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/final_standings&7.html
greenknight: some players ar elate
zorin: Judit beats Moro
SusanPolgar: Don't worry Kata, there are those in every country.
siamesedream: very soon
arthurmogens: Will you analyze these games Susan?
siamesedream: they are playing yet - 8 round in progress
gogomil: the video has its delay - they are on move10 now
Reverse: is there a video feed for this like saturday?
greenknight: they are off. Kramnik is still using e4 d5
arthurmogens: And why don't you try some crazy new openings, couldn't that be good tactics? I know Magnus Carlsen will do that in at least one game!
gogomil: yes,interesting opening
gogomil: but against chuky it wouldnt make big impackt
HetMes: Check this out - Susan, you will like this - http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/index.html
greenknight: anand has a ridiculous looking knight on a1 but is launching a pawn storm on svidler's king
HetMes: "No. of women 0"
Katalysator: Thanks for comfort Susan, but it doesn't make it any better ;(
HetMes: ...never mind, I think it concerns the number of women's titles
gogomil: anand with big time advantige
xollob: carlsen is on 4.5 right?!
greenknight: anand has sacrificed the exchange to clear out the rest of svidler's kingside pawns
bakalao: Magnus 1 Pono 0
greenknight: anand wins!
gogomil: karpov wins again
comperson: what an attack by anand
greenknight: ok, how does carlsen do this... ? endgame looks even and he just gets a larger and larger advantage out of nowhere
skywards: go karpov, he is still very good
gogomil: so anand leads alone at the top
morfoniolas: wooooow
morfoniolas: all with white won except polgar!!
greenknight: ivanchuk also took down Kramnik in a nice game with rolling pawns
morfoniolas: do we have another round later?
gogomil: well kramnik is playing skandinavian all the time with black
arthurmogens: What about Karajkin?
morfoniolas: or that's it for today?
gogomil: 1/2
arthurmogens: no there ar 6 left!
gogomil: we have 6 more rounds
morfoniolas: woooooooooow
morfoniolas: gog you made a man happy!!
arthurmogens: Enjoy! :)
gogomil: exsosting, 2 min break between rounds
bakalao: Leko gashimov 1/2

gogomil: they made 70 moves..
gogomil: 2 min
arthurmogens: Anand are dangerous now...he is in the flow...

ArcticStones2: There seem to be some games missing here.
anandrulez: 14
bakalao: grishuk vs magnus
shahost: gonna be a good match
Hellir: thx anandrulez
greenknight: kramnik probably should switch his Black opening choice, i think this is the 3rd game he's lost with that opening
anandrulez: yeah ! wc Helix
oja60: how many games today ?
Ichi74: I am following here http://www.aeroflotchess.com/online/, but still relay is slow...i think blitz would require touchboards with automatic transmission on the moves
arthurmogens: Important game and interesting game! (sorry about the is*;)
gogomil: absolutely greenknight
arthurmogens: Not a good day for Kramnik...
shahost: has judit 4.5 or 5.5?
anandrulez: Kramnik having a bad day at office
greenknight: round 9 is on...
anandrulez: 5.5
greenknight: kram was something like +4 with white -3 with black
oja60: Why is Carlsen still standing with 5 ? From my count he has 5,5 after the match against Svindler
Lovegoat: I also have 5.5 - glitch in the standings prob.
gogomil: grischuk again down on the clock ...
Lovegoat: but you see carlsen score still not in the main view in rnd 7, so prob thats why hes missing from the standing
shahost: http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/final_standings&7.html
Chessdom: http://www.chessdom.com/news-2009/world-blitz-chess-2009 updated with photos

HetMes: I wonbder what they're doing there at Chessbomb... or is the auto-relay not working so well?
Ichi74: draw with pono
username: kosteniuk is good at blitz, she won against naiditsch and drew leko
Ichi74: 14 rounds every day
siamesedream: 14 x 3 = 42
greenknight: carlsen really does play the endgame amazingly well
malachy: maybe carlsen can close in on anand this round. he has mamedyarov and anand has the very strong grishuk
morfoniolas: really bad transmition..you can't watch
Ichi74: hope grishuk draw at least
siamesedream: live cam:
morfoniolas: they should be better prepared for this
siamesedream: http://video.russiachess.org/#session73
bakalao: Peter AnDRAW Leko That is his name

siamesedream: and Memedyarov too
Ichi74: Vishj steamrolling
arthurmogens: Carlsen is in the flow....!

Ichi74: best blitz player no doubt
TheBB: Carlsen has been on fire since losing to Kosteniuk
siamesedream: and Gelfand defeated Karjakin
xtrabrain: anand wins.. again
arthurmogens: What about Anand?
xtrabrain: 7.5 for anand
arthurmogens: Aah...
greenknight: almost every game this round was decisive
siamesedream: Anand - Grischuk 1-0
arthurmogens: He is dangerous!
greenknight: i think this puts carlsen on 7.5 also
siamesedream: Ivanchuk - Kosteniuk 1-0
arthurmogens: No, 7 to Carlsen

malachy: anand is seriously not crap.
xtrabrain: yes..
Ichi74: eh

ArcticStones2: There is no a bit of a gap between the two leaders and the pursuing pack.
xtrabrain: mame is under pressure

techgambit89: i think leko will have trouble get invited to the big tourneys now

fruitfruitfruit: hello
siamesedream: Karjakin toasted by MC
arthurmogens: Karjakin slips on time...maybe soon 0-1 to Carlsen...

fruitfruitfruit: hello everyone
anandblitzking: nowadays kids become GM at 13 begging for training under other GM's like kasparov
fruitfruitfruit: how are you...

comperson: thanks chessdom for your efforts!!!!
eck: Why not Carlsen 48.Qg6+?
comperson: and beat calsen when the kid is i his prime
Oface: 55. Qc4 and Carlsen would have won the game againt karpov :)
arthurmogens: Eck, probably because of time... ;)
Oface: qC8
comperson: hats off to karpov
Oface: Qc8 damn it. lol
Malassise: official standings somewhere?
ArcticStones2: Yeah, Qc8 would have helped.
arthurmogens: Yeah...gg by Karpov! But the game when Magnus was 13 had longer time...
ArcticStones2: I see that the Standings/Results list hasn’t been updated for a while.
comperson: so what is the standing now?
zorin: anand annd anand and then the rest

anandrulez: http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/final_standings&14.html
LuckyStrike: http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/chessnews/events/world-blitz-2009
pista: We don't see the final standings on chessdom site
Malassise: this link does'nt work here
anandrulez: Anand is at 12.0 Carlsen 10.0 Karpov 9.0 Kramnik Grsichuk 8.5 Krajin Bareev Ponomaroiv 8.0 Ivanchuk Svidler Aronian 7.5 Leko 7.0
LuckyStrike: mine does
Malassise: oh, here too thanks
Malassise: the russiachess.org wasn't working
HetMes: thanks, people
pista: Anand usually becomes jittery in very final round(s)
HetMes: I'm most surprised by Karpov's performance
LuckyStrike: karpov had probably been preparing for this tourney for weeks
pista: Did Anand lose any game so far?
LuckyStrike: while the rest just came from tal memorial ;)
HetMes: but still...
187: is there any live broadcasting?
anandrulez: its over for the day
HetMes: It's all over already
anandrulez: no anand has remaned unbeaten today
HetMes: I blinked, missed half the tournament
Sherhan: Where are the results
HetMes: http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/chessnews/events/world-blitz-2009
HetMes: ...for instance
Sherhan: thanks
mueller: why do they give the players ratings as their FIDE standard time control ratings, as opposed to their blitz ratings?
Chessdom: all standings here http://www.chessdom.com/news-2009/world-blitz-chess-2009-results
HetMes: Are their blitz ratings kept? Does FIDE recognize them?
mueller: doubtful
mueller: but clearly blitz ratings are different than normal ratings, otherwise these games would affect their classic ratings
anandrulez: blitz dont have internation rating
anandrulez: some chess enthusiats keep them
ArcticStones2: Thanks for the update, ChessDom!
anandrulez: http://members.aon.at/sfischl/stat.html
anandrulez: has lot of good info on blitz rating over the years
anandrulez: not updated as of late though
anandrulez: recently i.e
mueller: thanks Anand
mueller: Im glad Karpov did so good here, the last couple exhibition matches hes had have been disappointing and a little pathetic
ArcticStones2: Let’s not forget Kramnik; he has fought his way back up to 8.5 / 14 and is tied for 4th. He is not to be dismissed -- after all, two-thirds of the tournament remains!
pista: Does Chessdom site have the rules & regulations of the blitz games
anandrulez: yw :)
mueller: is this a double round robin or what?
Katalysator: Yep
mueller: wow, thats a lotta games to be played
mueller: is there a schedule of rounds somewhere?
Katalysator: http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/
Katalysator: Under "Pairings/Results"
xtrabrain: amazing anand
morfoniolas: is there a chance that we get the games later or were they lost?
boby: All the games are going to added later.
morfoniolas: ohh thx!!!
capa: all games at chessbase
Oface: anyone online here now?
shostakovich: Good to see Karpov winning!
Stokkeland: do these games have any impact on fide rating?
Stokkeland: assume not :)
anandchess: anand's games are perfect even in blitz
anandchess: he finds superb moves at such pace
anandchess: especially the game against Bareev
HetMes: Say Chessdom, why not let the Rybka engines run overnight to get some analysis up in here?
HetMes: Considering 14 rounds of 11 matches, say 30 non-book moves per game, you need about 8 seconds per engine.
HetMes: Per ply, per game, per round, that is. So hook up some equipment and let's go!
HetMes: Correction, you *get* 10 seconds times the number of engines running per ply
Katalysator: When do the games start today?
trap22: go anand, go
trap22: great Karpov
JoachimK: what time do they start?
AceGolfer: Anyone know the time schedule for today?
Katalysator: Perhaps they will start the same time as yesterday
Katalysator: I believe it is 13.00 CET
Oface: I wonder if the fact that every opponent to Anand just finished playing Carlsen has any significant impact on the results? I guess the guys at this level hates to lose, and 9 of Anands opponents just lost to Carlsen.
Oface: I know this players are professional and some will say its no problem for this player to focus on the next match, but there is the subconsciousness fact too. Im just asking :) i think it should have been more random
Dr_Walhalla: anand is just the best
JoachimK: when it comes to Blitz its fastest player for sure, though his age isn't "perfect"
manCatur: Carlsen has a chances to win this WBC
malachy: karpov-anand coming up. should be a good one.
anandblitzking: hola
saintpaul: It looks like the players are entering the arena and getting ready now :-) Let the fun begin!
malachy: is there webcam?
shahost: Let's hope for som briliante games today

malachy: ponomariov at his seat, looking anxious
anandblitzking: when is round 15 going to begin?
saintpaul: :-) To anxious .. he left again ...
Unreal143: you guys think MC can win this?
saintpaul: Carlsen is getting ready. Hope they can keep the cameras "live" today and not 3 minutes dealy as yesterday
anandblitzking: carlsen loser wont win
anandblitzking: anand is much better
saintpaul: Anandthe blitsz king is kind of bias...
anandblitzking: Anand is king of blitz, u dumbasses
saintpaul: :-) I rest my case
ArcticStones2: Good afternoon, everyone! I’m really looking forward to another day of watching great blitz games here on ChessBomb. Work will just have to wait!
ArcticStones2: Anandblitzking, please cool your language immediately!

ArcticStones2: Thank you.
saintpaul: Good work Admin
saintpaul: Webcam is already behind
Highendman: thank you!
Chessdom: Enjoy the games, moves are on!
simsan: hehe
Katalysator: Yay for admin
greenknight: move transmission is lagged already
Katalysator: No suprises there
greenknight: gashimov is late or something... seems to have lost on time at move 1
greenknight: anand won, carlsen trying to win another drawn endgame :)
ArcticStones2: ChessDom, I don’t suppose there is any chance of getting correct clocks for the players, with seconds indicated?
xtrabrain: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
xtrabrain: live games : http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
Katalysator: Anand and Carlsen starting with victories
Garnoth: nice round, no real surprises except moro's loss I tink
Garnoth: think
Garnoth: though he's in bad shape
greenknight: kramnik won his even endgame too
ArcticStones2: Victories for all top four players in today’s first round.
malachy: webcam crashed. why am I not surprised
thomandy: livecamlink?? :)
Lovegoat: Naiditsch - Carlsen worth a review, cool endgame :-)
Garnoth: how much time is there betwen rounds
Garnoth: http://video.russiachess.org/browse/17/
siamesedream: few minutes
Garnoth: nice, I want to see some action :P
simsan: It's almost non-stop
greenknight: its kinda funny watching, its not even clear what the losing players did wrong in those endings
xtrabrain: see all pairings: http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/
dryfish: when is the first long break?
shahost: according to VG MC say the first game was oki, he just start warming up :)
simsan: Another victory for Anand. He seems to be on fire here...
Starman: Anand is really in form ! I think Carlsen will have a hard time ....
siamesedream: after 21 round
siamesedream: 15 min break
dryfish: ty siamese
checkmate666: it is quite interesting to see how well Karpov is doing here, makes me wonder how well Kasparov could have been doing had he been playing considering how he crushed Karpov in the blitz games in their recent match
theNorth: Too many viewers on the livefeed today, keeps lagging and breaking down.
Giegerenzer: connection good here in norway
theNorth: I AM in Norway...hehe
greenknight: you know I would pay for a reliable feed with GM commentary
siamesedream: in Poland also working so far
Katalysator: I have no problems with the feed
simsan: I'm expecting Karpov to fall through today. I think his 3rd place finish yesterday was a very fortunate and lucky result
lalelu: When does next round strat?????????
theNorth: It works most of the time...
xtrabrain: rnd 16 begins
Starman: now...
greenknight: as in actual real time updating rather than flurries of moves eveyr 30 sec, but im not gonna complain about a free service
Giegerenzer: naditsch - anand
lalelu: Thank you!!
Giegerenzer: kramnik is wearing a sailors shirt hehe
Garnoth: all right, go Kramnik!
theNorth: The homepage has a better stream of moves. I think that's as live as it gets. Moves about a minute before the "live-feed".
malachy: the webcam stream is smooth and nice until something actually happens, like the game starting
theNorth: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
steuba: any link for the video footage ?
Starman: Think Karpov will beat Polgar
simsan: The third round game between Magnus and Anand should be exciting
bekki: good connection here at the north pole..
Starman: Gelfand - Carlsen is a heavy battle
siamesedream: Anand drew - finally!
malachy: arbitrer at the anand game
siamesedream: Chucky lost as Whote
thomandy: magnus won :)
greenknight: how the hell did he win that one
manCatur: yes...MC...my local hero
manCatur: :D
Katalysator: Magnus is closing in on Anand
siamesedream: Polgar-Kafpov 1-0
raja8a: next round anand vs MC
Starman: Wow ! Magnus vs Anand !
Iskubadayb: Anatoly is Judit's customer... hehe
greenknight: mc should exchange queens asap vs anand, hehe
simsan: This next game is going to be very important for the overall victory
simsan: a "two-point" match :-)
manCatur: yeah agreed
arthurmogens: Carlsen won...1/2 point closer to Anand
manCatur: Ultimate match
Garnoth: I thought aronian would do much better, is he normally worse at bltiz than classical
Giegerenzer: surprised aronian is bad at blitz
raja8a: Mc has white
Steinitz: Another 26 rounds to be played ... a lot can happen
checkmate666: If Anand wins, I think no one can catch him, but if Carlsen wins this its going to be a tough race to the finish
manCatur: i hope draw and winning for MC
simsan: Giegerenzer: "bad" is perhaps not the right word to use about any of these player's blitz capabilities :-)
Bezo: LIVE URL anyone ?
raja8a: bliz is like lottery
Starman: I think it ould be a draw Anand do not lose easy
bekki: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
manCatur: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
saintpaul: http://video.russiachess.org/browse/17/
Bezo: thx
raja8a: anytime one may error
simsan: Actually I think Aronian has played excellent blitz on previous occasions. he might have the swine flu or this just might not be his day
xtrabrain: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
Steinitz: They use blitz to test out opponent's probably responses to prep-moves - going over the games is great
checkmate666: no, micro stakes poker is like a lottery, blitz still takes skill to win
saintpaul: Gashimov already lost the next round?
thomandy: C - Annand, this is exiting!! :D
xtrabrain: carlsen v/s vishy
ugasoft: now it's Carlsen-Anand round!!
NorthChess: Greetings, Chesslings. Anyone know how much time players have between games? Seems to me like less than 10 mins. How do they reset their complicated minds in so little time? Amazing!
manCatur: Griscuk win over gasimov?
theNorth: Anand - Carlsen......going to be a classic. I can feel it!
raja8a: 3ts + 3 sex icrement
Iskubadayb: cuban is stinking up the hall
saintpaul: Walk over I assume
xtrabrain: begaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Matt_Tsjakk: Are there any good poker players among the chess elite?
Garnoth: grischuk
Garnoth: he's good at poker I heard
Starman: Anand and Carlsen both in great form ! "This is it"
simsan: Matt_Tsjakk, yes plenty of top chess players are good poker player
Humblebee: what does chess and poker have in common?
checkmate666: yes, Grischuk is good, among the women Almira Skripchenko is the most notable name
Garnoth: they are playing
greenknight: humble both games have kings and queens?
Steinitz: Follow the game here: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
thomandy: magnus is on deep water, annand ruling the senter?
raja8a: c3 was nice move
greenknight: this is a good game
thomandy: but Carlson should have seen it coming, might be no other choice though
raja8a: nf5.....another nice by anand
Steinitz: Carlsen is masterful with his bishops - that's his save here
Matt_Tsjakk: If anyone has seen Poker after dark, they sometimes have fun themes. one time it was math wizards who had one week of playing for 100.000$. Would be fun If they could get some chess pros to do the same
Steinitz: magnus forced Anand to think with g4
raja8a: his bishop are great
ArcticStones2: The gap between Carlsen and Anand is reduced to 1.5. But can Carlsen win when he meets the World Champion
thomandy: wow
thomandy: comback from C
thomandy: <annand Loooosing
Steinitz: Congrats MC
thomandy: Yeeeeah :D
raja8a: MC won
bekki: magnus won again !!!!

manCatur: yes MC win
manCatur: over Anand
manCatur: :D
manCatur: yahoo
thomandy: google
Garnoth: kramni is falling
manCatur: Grischuk is coming bebey
xtrabrain: msn
Iskubadayb: vk on a free fall!
Steinitz: If you want to beat Magnus, don't let him have any bishops left on the board.
arthurmogens: Magnus soon in the lead now! Only half a point behind Anand!
Trond: or knights
simsan: 1/2 point separating the two players that are ahead of the field. Grischuk is a step ahead of the pack and Karpov is falling (as predicted)
Trond: or pawns
theNorth: ...or kings
Trond: or kings
greenknight: lol
Steinitz: He's become spectacularly good at placing bishops. Both in the TAL and here
malachy: knights can be strong in blitz as they are tricky to keep track of =)
raja8a: its between MC and anand now...
thomandy: yeah
simsan: Karpov is 0.5 / 3 today
Starman: Peter Svidler looks good
Trond: Susan still asleep over there .. Suzy, Suzyyyy!!!
Theokratix: tricky track tracky trick
Steinitz: If MC hadn't been goofing off yesterday, he'd be at 15 now
powersmurf: they say "the stronger the player, the weaker is knight vs bishop"
checkmate666: Grisetjukken er ikke ute av det ennå
simsan: powersmurf:he-he that's probably why I enjoy hknights more than bishops
greenknight: MC skill at endgames is ridiculous, he's scoring most of his points there
Gurgeh: Grischuk is 3 / 3 as well. 2 points behind Anand
Garnoth: gelfan anand, nice
Garnoth: old guys battling it out
Bezo: " raja8a: its between MC and anand now..." Sure is
Gurgeh: I think it's between Anand, Carlsen and Grischuk
Starman: Grischuk has won all games today ! Impressive
greenknight: ;l
greenknight: polgar just exchanged queens on move 7 which you have to think is a bad plan
malachy: kosteniuk on the webcam now. I can see how carlsen got distracted yesterday ;)
ArcticStones2: Incredible performance by Carlsen.a mere 0.5 -- after defeating the World Champion.
Steinitz: she had to swap queens, note Bh6
ArcticStones2: Lost some text there. "Incredible performance by Carlsen. Starts two points behind; after 3 more rounds the gap is a mere 0.5"
ArcticStones2: "points – after defeating the World Champion".
greenknight: kosteniuk just toasted grischuk
Jalalabad: Carlsen 4/4
Alsamixer: Carlsen won :D
Iskubadayb: girl mates him in 24 moves!
thomandy: but why=
thomandy: ?
thomandy: how? I couldt se from the game
greenknight: he shouldn't have castled
manCatur: MC is the champion
malachy: shared leaders now
Katalysator: Even Steven now
malachy: mc in the "zone"
Jalalabad: You gotta love blitz, some truly crazy games happening :)
Garnoth: svidler is performing very well today
Blueoct: How much rounds to they play today?
techgambit89: kosteniuk plays well against the big shots
greenknight: basically grish castled into one of those positions where f6 knight had been exchanged then gxf6
checkmate666: Kosteniuk slo Grisetjukken også
manCatur: 7
theNorth: Magnus' moves are updated on http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm now
raja8a: upto 28
saintpaul: Actually MC is in the lead based on internal matches I believe. So if they they play equal in rest of the matches he will win
Jalalabad: 14 games a day
theNorth: Moves for Magnus is up now.
Blueoct: So they finish the tourney today?
Garnoth: I really love this, though classical is nice too.
powersmurf: would be fun to see Kasparov here, since he beat Karpov 3:1
raja8a: tomorrow
Garnoth: Grischuk actually prefers faster time controls over classical chess I read
Blueoct: Dominguez won last year, this time he doesnt play as well
Garnoth: kasparv is a weaker chess player than Karpov comparing to their strength in classical time controls
Jalalabad: They finish tomorrow, 42 games in total!
Chessdom: Next round starts in a few inutes
Garnoth: woohoo
manCatur: MC won the game 4 in a row
Starman: Anand and Carlsen is way ahed now one of the two will take it home I think
Blueoct: so today they play 3 rounds
Blueoct: I mean there come 3 rounds now
Garnoth: there are so many games to be played, anand nor carlsen can be sure of anything
manCatur: what is the format?
thomandy: true Man
Garnoth: 14 games per day, 3 days
Jalalabad: they have played for rounds today, 10 more to go
Garnoth: so we have about 10 round to go
manCatur: this is crazy
Blueoct: k thx
techgambit89: carlsen is playing kramnik now, right?
jonatan: 10 more games?
Garnoth: don't know
manCatur: no
raja8a: mc vs aronian
manCatur: MC vs Levon
Garnoth: kramnik just won again, free fall is over :D
ruter7: carlsen is playing aronian
Chessdom: Note that the World Cup starts this weekend and it will be with Rybka and also Grandmaster analysis here on the live platform and the main page of Chessdom.com
raja8a: andn vs judit
theNorth: Ten more games is correct
Jalalabad: 10 more rounds today, 14 tomorrow. 22 player double round robin
Katalysator: What are thos numbers in the far right column of the "standings" window?
greenknight: anane looking in very good shape
greenknight: carlsen-aronian looks drawish but..
NorthChess: aronian won
raja8a: strong game by levon
greenknight: yeah
Trond: Magnus is overrated .. loosing like taht .. ;-)
raja8a: race is between anand and mc....either of the 2 would be the champion
Theokratix: MC never fancied playing Aronian
polgar1: anand will win
greenknight: he gave up too much when he unbalanced the position
greenknight: aronian's rook was too strong
theNorth: a BIT early to say Anand will win, isn't it? Not even half way through yet... :)
Trond: M has had some Aro-problems yes .. but that is good for the future of chess otherwise M would totally bust them all the next 20 years ..
raja8a: MC is future WC no doubt abt it....no one n his age group is nearby him...
Elz: far right sonneborn rating
greenknight: aactually the one with "aronian problems" is anand
Giegerenzer: i hate aronian
Garnoth: is it just since he is working with kasparov that everbody is suddenly a big Carlsen fan, just wondering
raja8a: anand kramnik..topalov all are 35 +
Iskubadayb: Gary will win this thing by 4 pts!!
raja8a: except aronian is see no ne n near future to compete with him
greenknight: garnoth \i think it's more that a lot of young talents have been hyped, and only carlsen has actually managed to break into the elite yet
anandrulez: hi guys
anandrulez: was anand winning in their game ? anand acrlsen ?
thomandy: no
Starman: Carlsen won that one but lost to Aronian
Starman: looks like it could be a draw for Anand against Aronian
Starman: it was a draw
anandrulez: Carlsen isr ocking
anandrulez: he is winning like that white or black
bekki: carlsen won
greenknight: it seems White's advantage in blitz is insignificant even at top level
theNorth: .5 behind
Iskubadayb: more derails grisch! haha
greenknight: check out moro-grischuk
raja8a: carlsen won anand drawn vs aronian
Starman: Grischuk lost
Matt_Tsjakk: the list of matches to the right of the page keeps refreshing and doing stuff all the time. Makes chessbomb too slow for me. any1 has the same problem, or even a fix? using opera.
raja8a: anand 15.5 mc 15
Katalysator: I have the same problem
Iskubadayb: we fine man
Katalysator: The list goes completely crazy when it updates
Enu: Matt: same here
Jalalabad: Using seamonkey, no prob
theNorth: Chrome works fine
greenknight: svidler has sneaked into 3rd place while no one was watching
Starman: It`s not exatly a bomb
Matt_Tsjakk: people with problems, all using oera then?
Katalysator: I use Opera
Enu: Opera, yes
Starman: Svidler looks good. Played some great chess
Matt_Tsjakk: ok. guess i´ll try safari then.
Iskubadayb: solid play by svid
henrikakselsen: tried opera for a long time with that problem , switched to safari: perfect
Katalysator: Break after next round?
pesho: try Chrome, it's the perfect browser for ChessBomb
greenknight: kramnik has played some good games too
pesho: The list on the right is slow with 250+ games, yes
theNorth: What pesho said... :)
Chessdom: Last round of the first half, then break for 15 minutes, and more games continue today.
laldonkaments: lol karpvo gave up a draw position in round 20
Jalalabad: Pretty insane stuff this tourney, you have to win every game to stay on top
Matt_Tsjakk: pesho: chrome is not out for mac i think. but safari seems ok (even though it´s slowish compared to opera)
pesho: Safari is ok too, it uses the same layout engine as Chrome, and is almost as fast at JavaScript
Starman: Grischuk vs Svidler will be interesting
d_ahura: firefox works OK too.
d_ahura: At least the 3.6 beta
techgambit89: dont use explorer, it makes you want to kill yourself
pesho: Firefox works fine too, but is slower, and it shows with giant rooms like this one
pesho: Explorer... no comment :)
Archmage: is this a double round tourney ?
greenknight: leko is clearly looking for some revenge after tal round 9
Voyager: Wow, Peter Svidler is 4.5/5 so far today.
techgambit89: yep
d_ahura: ff 3.6 isn't slow compared to Chrome on this site. I'm running both right now as a test
Starman: Downloaded seamonkey and it is working fine
anandrulez: pesho : which platform chessbomb made ?
anandrulez: is it PHP or ASP.net
pesho: none of these
Muziogambit: leko wont get his revenge, now or ever
Voyager: Anyone using Safari on here?
greenknight: haha R+B v R
greenknight: this game might go on a hwile
anandrulez: Anand got flagged?
bekki: anand lost
Katalysator: Now Magnus is in the lead!
NorthChess: only 88moves for MC
bekki: mc won
Archmage: anand apparently flagged
greenknight: what happened to anand??
Voyager: Is that Vishy's 1st loss of the tournament? Yesterday he was unbeaten.
malachy: carlsen won over anand earlier today
EraseYourMind: yes Magnus !!!
NorthChess: Voy: He lost to MC also
ugasoft: overtake
thomandy: MC won as well
Archmage: oh my .. anand flagged !
Katalysator: What happened with Anand?
Jalalabad: Superb endgame by Carlsen against Leko
EraseYourMind: New man in the lead
Betelgazer: I just switched to Chrome from IE on this site, and there is a huge difference
EraseYourMind: Leko didnt have time to draw...
Iskubadayb: anand flag dropped trying to convert a win
ArcticStones2: Magnus now leads the tournament. Well don!
Steinitz: Firefox 3.x on Mac does a good job. Opera is useless, and Safari is slow.
simsan: And he has an amazin 76% point return rate
saintpaul: Leko actaully was Checkmate
Jalalabad: MC 6/7 today, 6 wins + one loss
greenknight: poor leko, his position looked promising at one point
siamesedream: about 15 minutes break now
Garnoth: anand relaxed for a second, forgt his time and flagged
Iskubadayb: i use this thing called ie!! superb!!
priyanvada: Is it a break now ... or they will continue ...
d_ahura: one half assed alternative if one must use IE is the Chrome plugin for IE
Bompi: whats the link to the webcam?
Garnoth: 21 is exactly halfway, a break is logical
manCatur: they will continue
Bompi: chrome working like a dream
Jalalabad: 15 min break now
Starman: Nice with a break I need some food ! lol
Bompi: leko spanked like a dog
priyanvada: Is there any video broadcast??
Starman: Kramnik is on a streak as well
checkmate666: Bompi, det er dyremishandling
Betelgazer: http://video.russiachess.org/
techgambit89: when is carlsen playing kosteniuk?
Iskubadayb: moro is starting to find his bearing
manCatur: if MC wins this event...most probably, he is a future World Chess Champion indeed
Steinitz: He did yesterday, and got blown
techgambit89: that is a must-see.. carlsen sure wants revenge for that embarresing defeat yesterday agianst her
manCatur: it is not easy to become World Blitz Champion and World Chess Champion
priyanvada: Thanks a lot Betelgazer!!
Jalalabad: Everybody has meet once one, I guess they start from round 1 now with opposite colors.
techgambit89: how many more rounds are there today?
siamesedream: 7
manCatur: Anand has the package and so did Carlsen
ugasoft: 14 per day
siamesedream: and last 14 tomorrow
Iskubadayb: for now... yogurt time
ugasoft: 7 are yet player, 7 remains
siamesedream: 42 all
Chessdom: Standings and info updated http://www.chessdom.com/news-2009/world-blitz-chess-results-day-2 do not forget that games continue in 15 minutes. Tomorrow is the final day of the World Blitz and at the end of the week starts the World Cup!
ugasoft: everyone plays everyone alse 2 times
siamesedream: double round robin
Jalalabad: Carlsen will play Kosteniuk again very soon
Muziogambit: this is mighty fun. MC could win tomorrow. But not like Bobby, who beat the world elite 19/20
Steinitz: He should put on sunglasses
siamesedream: hope for handshake after game
greenknight: we have a 2 horse race for now, that's more fun
Voyager: If Magnus is thinking of revenge over Kosteniuk, he'll only put himself under more pressure & lose again: this is blitz!
Jalalabad: Fischer won 21/20
Steinitz: He has three losses so far, right? So 39/42 is pretty good
siamesedream: Svidler Kramnik getting closer
greenknight: i doubt hes thinking about revenge, he was upset at himself not her
renis: Kramnik 3 wins in a row... and is playing very agresive
syntax: Anand Lost on time Last game ?
Iskubadayb: It is obvious that MC will be world champ sooner or later! Look at the opposition? Who is going to deny him the championship later? If not sooner!!
Jalalabad: Alexandra-Carlsen in round 25
Katalysator: Gashimov is having a bad day, one point in seven games today
siamesedream: Aronian drew
Iskubadayb: games start soon
siamesedream: Anand flagged
siamesedream: about 15 min break
renis: Leko had a much better position
renis: Magnus handle Caro kann very badly
greenknight: just shows they aren't bpperfect
renis: besides the win
Steinitz: C vs Chucky, next
priyanvada: Where is Topalov! ;)
greenknight: somehow it's refreshing to know that even thes guys can pick up the wrong piece or lose on time in a winning position
Steinitz: What chess clock are they using
Matt_Tsjakk: safari runs a million times better than opera here. confirmed. however. at work i used IE for this page, and it would just completely freeze. happy now though. go magnus
Gurgeh: So.. Carlsen ahead by 0.5?
simsan: katalysator: That is strange. I was expecting Gashimov to do well here
Voyager: Carlsen is rekindling world interest in chess, just like Fischer did in the 70s.
greenknight: he has the luck to be entering the scene at a good time now that the split WC has been resolved
Muziogambit: i guess thats true voyager
Matt_Tsjakk: i´m thinking chessbomb and the like is also doing much for making chess more accessible
Matt_Tsjakk: a nice combo
Steinitz: absolutely - these interfaces are great
Jalalabad: WC resolved? yes, every month ;-)
greenknight: I hope he will not learn some of kasparov's worse traits though
Steinitz: Again - which chess clock are they using?
renis: what's the time control?
renis: 3 or 3+3 ?
d_ahura: 3+2
Muziogambit: kaspys worse traits?
techgambit89: alexandra is really hot, i hope she gets an ok second-half of this tournament
Matt_Tsjakk: he has a funny dialect
greenknight: kaspy really caused a lot of damage with his chess politics and the WC split
Matt_Tsjakk: :p
techgambit89: isnt the timing 5 +2?
Gurgeh: Digital clocks
Muziogambit: MC will never start anything like that
Steinitz: model?
Iskubadayb: Most of the great ones are bad at life... MC might change it
Jalalabad: They're using those good old sand watches
Muziogambit: Hes not from Kaukaus
Muziogambit: Kaukasus
d_ahura: site says TC is 3'+2''/move
greenknight: fischer was really unstable
Steinitz: silicon clocks? smart
manCatur: what time start?
Iskubadayb: fischer was a waste!!
Steinitz: maybe fischer was normal, and the rest of us are crazy
Jalalabad: starting any time now
Muziogambit: Caucasia
Katalysator: I wouldt't bet on it Steinitz :D
Muziogambit: Baku, land of trouble
vaughn: it's over for today?
greenknight: they're on tea break, the vidoe feed shows no one
Muziogambit: course it isnt there are 7 more rounds
greenknight: but theres another 7 games
Jalalabad: Baku, land of the bubblebelly turtle!
ArcticStones2: I thought he plays Ivanchuk first?
Katalysator: They are in Russia, it is vodka break
greenknight: oh yeah, this is where chucky downs a few vodkas, grabs his face mask and goes 7/7
Voyager: No Vaughn. It goes up to Round 28 today, (LOL @ vodka break!)
fuderer: hi all my friend
fuderer: very nice tournament
fuderer: if you have got the best conection use only chrome!it is the best

Katalysator: Looks like they are getting ready now
teliosgm: can i ask sth?
Muziogambit: Karopv hasnt got hte stamina anymore, he doesnt care. He used to be the worlds most successful tournament player
Steinitz: Karpov probably celebrated his third place yesterday, two days early
teliosgm: what r the time controls?
malachy: If played any of these players and they had 3mins and I had 2 hours, I'd still lose.
teliosgm: e?

greenknight: svid;er also lost. the leaders are having a shitty round
LuckyStrike: it changes all the time too
blitzkinganand: only carlsen defeated anand. hmmm
simsan: except I guess he lost this round
Garnoth: great comeback by niaditsch, kramnik overlooked something and was toasted
simsan: :-(
Muziogambit: Chucky got him. He deseves a reminder like that
teliosgm: oh Pono!
greenknight: ... and grishcuk just dropped a rook and lost also
Katalysator: Interesting round
teliosgm: another 6 rounds for today?
greenknight: standings don't really change cause everyone with good scores messed up
joss: ye
monozevich: go, chucky, go!!
Jalalabad: I guess the leaders had an extra vodka
simsan: Yes, the MC attack hit a defensive wall of concrete against chucky
blitzkinganand: yeah its blitz, anythng can happen
sani: just too many goodies here
dv: Svidler's the biggest climber
manCatur: a weird round
techgambit89: kosteniuk got a draw from karjakin

Trond: alll ?? wow simsalabim!!
Iskubadayb: boris maintains is solid hold of the cellar!

techgambit89: she's too pretty to end last :p
Iskubadayb: Kosteniuk posted some great wins!!
chinedubond: does anyone know what the first prize is??
techgambit89: i cant say the same about gelfand, unfortunaly..
sani: boris lantern rouge gelfand
checkmate666: so that's why I never end last!

greenknight: kram-MC game is unclear still
bekki: mc won!
greenknight: agh. Kramnik blundered
blitzkinganand: anand drew
Jalalabad: kramnik gave his queen
simsan: I think he must have just blundered his queen there
greenknight: 28 Qe5? was bad
Iskubadayb: he had no choice but to give Q after Ba5!!
Bollemus: black is ok - 'Adorjan'
Iskubadayb: Svid hanging tough!!
Iskubadayb: Andras here?
manCatur: Karjakin climbs up
LuckyStrike: 85 moves on karpov
Starman: This is really exhiting
Bollemus: @lskabadb, no just an old quote.
techgambit89: i bet kasarov is sitting there with worlds biggest grin seeing his pupil demolishing the one who once demolished him :)
teliosgm: very tough game
Muziogambit: carlsen in a bad mood today
manCatur: why? he keeps winning
teliosgm: how many rounds left?

techgambit89: alexandra with another draw, good for her
greenknight: Svidler hanging in there at 3rd
theNorth: 5
Iskubadayb: michael jackson BAD is what he means, i think... hehehe
greenknight: and karjakin has been getting it together too
manCatur: i think we shud have FIDE rating for Blitz, so we know who is the king
blitzkinganand: 28 today
Gerden: Carlsen is in a bad mood, Carlsen has got the blues, its someone else`s mess that I didnt choose.
manCatur: anybody agree with me?
ArcticStones2: ChessBomb: Have you done something drastic with your software code? I keep getting a warning that a script on ChessBomb is slowing down my computer. This never happened before. (I am running Safari 4.0.4 on Mac OSX 10.5.8.)
Naxar: anand is the king!
Iskubadayb: revenge time for mag agnst gash
techgambit89: he is, but carlsen is the prince soon to detronize him :)
anandrulez: Yeah ! But now seems like its Magnus
blitzkinganand: fight is between MC and Anand
theNorth: Admin recommended Chrome earlier today...don't know about safari though
dv: and Svidler's catching up
Starman: So far ... But Magnus is on his way over ...
blitzkinganand: 24 on...
manCatur: nobody agree...argghhhh
Grungean: rahuldravid
blitzkinganand: im using chrome :-)
anandrulez: i am on Chrome
Naxar: maybe in 5 years...
anandrulez: grungean !
Matt_Tsjakk: no warning here. Safari works. 4.04 and 10.5.8. but it can be a bit slow, yes.
blitzkinganand: anand v/s kramnik pheww
Matt_Tsjakk: chessbomb suggests using chrome though
AlbuquerqueWJr: i am on chrome plus or chromium
Chessdom: The number of games in this tournament is slowing down some browsers, it will be all fine a little later and during the whole World Cup (that starts this weekend)
fuglebuck: latest firefox is doing fine in here
pesho: it's slowing down all browsers actually :) the faster ones handle it better (Chrome > Safari > Firefox > Opera > IE)
pesho: i'll look at optimizing it more tonight
techgambit89: now its paybacktime for carlsen against gashimov ;)
pesho: the slowness happens when a result changes or a new game is added
Starman: Anand - Kramnik coub be a cool battle
powersmurf: still a great site
Lovegoat: Carslen under vs Gashimov?
greenknight: carlsen has the edge, he just trashed gashimovs kingside pawn structure
Lovegoat: Seems Carlsen has snuck quite a few pawns past the goalie today :)
greenknight: mate incoming
Lovegoat: Nice one
luisrodg: how do i close a game tab?
theNorth: ...the x ???
teliosgm: childish loss
greenknight: anand also beat kramnik
Iskubadayb: svid runs out of luck against dom

Iskubadayb: Ppl jinxed MC by declaring championship this early! Karja can still win this!!

shahost: @chessdom: When does the brodcast start's tomorrow?
Chessdom: Tomorrow at the same time, 13:00 CET
shahost: hmm oki
greenknight: mc blundered I think
Muziogambit: looks terrible for MC now
greenknight: oh no, I just suck
luisrodg: Carlsen is not playing the World Cup?
teliosgm: magnus going for draw?
greenknight: no he was playing to exchange to R+B endgame which he is very strong at
Muziogambit: incredible how he gets himself out of bad situations
dv: moro got flagged
dv: carlsen is superb
dv: with inputs now from kasparov, he will be the guy to beat from now until 6-7 years
dv: good stuff
dv: g'night all
Muziogambit: yeah dominant like Casa
simsan: the next 20 years is probably more accurate
teliosgm: how can Carlsen always take 1 point from drawish position?
greenknight: karjakin in big troublue after missing a knigiht fork
greenknight: and wow. kosteniuk scalps aronian as well
simsan: Norally pattern for chess players is equal strength at age 18 and 38 with peak at ~25
Katalysator: Kosteniuk with same score as Polgar, impressive
simsan: judging by chessmetrics
Naxar: was it the last round today?
Iskubadayb: the way they lose to alexa is silly!! stop sniffing the perfume!!!
bakalao: I can help Alexandra!!
Iskubadayb: starting to become a 3-way fight!!

luisrodg: Carlsen not playing World Cup?
Jalalabad: Carlsen yesterday 10p, today 11p, tomorrow 12p?
bakalao: how many draws to Leko?
Jalalabad: peak at 25 sounds a bit early, lots of players peak later
shahost: @chessdom: 11 CET was statet some time ago, sure about 13 CET?
tom: its finish for today?
ArcticStones2: Ah, we’re done. How quickly time passes when you’re having fun in good company.
Jalalabad: Carlsen is not playing the World Cup, he's already through because of his rating
Iskubadayb: yup
techgambit89: alexandra is my new favourite player. she's just bashing the big guys (carlsen, anand and aronian so far)
Iskubadayb: dat it...cya...analyze time later
Muziogambit: carlsens wave is unbreakable, it will force its way no matter
greenknight: all the top 5 are qualifying some other way and dont need to play WC
Gurgeh: Peak at 25 is nonsense. Most people peak in late 30s
Voyager: Yes, Kosteniuk has been very impressive.
techgambit89: has kasparov made any comments of this tourney and his wonderboy pupil so far?
teliosgm: he is my pupil lol
astaroth: bye for 2day
saintpaul: Teliosgm; Your pupil?
Muziogambit: ...MC will win this, by the power of his youth

greenknight: looked like a miscalculated combination
thomandy: livecam link?
Betelgazer: http://video.russiachess.org/
thomandy: tnx
Betelgazer: np
greenknight: karjakin lost too
Ichi74: bad carlsen sacrifice
Steinitz: Karjakin is today's dark horse ... Let's see if Pono will do what he did to Carlsen. Think it was a blunder by Carlsen ...
greenknight: probably thought he could play Qxf5
greenknight: pono is playing well today
greenknight: carlsen and grischuk both losing time with their bishop/knight respectively
greenknight: nice game from carlsen and grischuk though
thomandy: Carlsens game was Hot
thomandy: Anand loosing
thomandy: Great :D
greenknight: pono has to be feeling very confident now after beating both leaders back to back... lets see if he can move up!
steelball666: he wont take carlsen:)
greenknight: no but he can overtake kramnik
Steinitz: Karjakin wins, but Dominquez has not been playing well
greenknight: dominguez is the disappointment of this tournament
manCatur: Can somebody give me the URL
Abishere: this is good fun....i hardly get any work done
manCatur: url lease
Steinitz: Karjakin catching up with Anand?
rubenshein: yeah, impossible to have work done now
simsan: Abishere the work part is tricky, yes :-)
greenknight: karjakin pulled a half point back on anand
BagOfChips: url to what
dryfish: win (75%) or lose for magnus!
shahost: kramnik look strong today
manCatur: to see live game from russia chess
Betelgazer: http://video.russiachess.org/
rubenshein: yeah, was wondering about that myself. oh there it arrived! :)
greenknight: the ending of svidler-aronian was hilarious
manCatur: not the video
manCatur: i just want to see the DGT live gams
Betelgazer: http://tal.russiachess.org/online/index.htm
manCatur: i just forgot the url
manCatur: thanks a lot betel..:)
Betelgazer: np
Chessdom: Live info,results and news updates are available here http://www.chessdom.com/news-2009/world-blitz-chess-results-day-3 , do not forget the World Cup starts this weekend!
greenknight: Aronian is sick though, must have been infected by carlsen or kramnik :)
blitzkinganand: eh !
saintpaul: This is amazing... he is only just become 18 is really dominating this event.
greenknight: kramnik with an interesting exchange sac
Alsamixer: just beome 18 ? dosent he turn 19 on 30th November ?
blitzkinganand: .
greenknight: i recommend kramniks game from this round
steelball666: yeh 19 on 30th
blitzkinganand: Anand won confotably. Na5 is wrong move
theNorth: MC's endgame outstanding as always
simsan: yeah, he is pretty close to 19 now. But he is still dominating :-)
manCatur: MC has a good day
greenknight: it is unusual because normally the younger players win short games with attacking tactics... but Anand is the one doing that while carlsen outplays people positionally
saintpaul: Oups... You are right. Not only the chess server that has a lag I assume
ArcticStones2: I see that Ponomariov has gotten two prized scalps today: Carlsen and Anand.
manCatur: among the games layed..which one suppose to be the Best game
Muziogambit: doesnt matter if he slept well tonight hell win anyway
rolfo: kramnik chasing karjakin
steelball666: kosteniuk dont win today:(
malachy: I think many of MCs opponents go for the wrong strategy and try to force a drawish endgame, where carlsen still wins. Better to try for wild tactics.
greenknight: yeah - moro beat him doing that
ArcticStones2: Interestingly, the participant whose performance has exceeded their rating the most in World Blitz is Alexandra Kosteniuk. And she has beaten a good handful of the top players! Great for women’s chess -- and for her. :)
malachy: man, not sure, but I do like the way carlsen brought home the R+B vs. R endame with seconds on the clock.
malachy: vs. Leko, I mean
Muziogambit: gettin to be like alekhine now, seeing mates in 10
blitzkinganand: n nmmmmmmmmmm mm m
greenknight: MC managed to sneak a draw out of that somehow
shahost: kramnik best so far today
checkmate666: Kramnik has been on fire today, and played some prette impressive games too
greenknight: another good one this last round
ArcticStones2: What is Kramnik’s score so far today?
checkmate666: 5/5
ArcticStones2: Wow! That is excellent.
Chessdom: All results and scores here http://www.chessdom.com/news-2009/world-blitz-chess-results-day-3
BagOfChips: back in bisniss
greenknight: shockingly, this is only carlsen's 3rd draw this entire tournament...
Steinitz: Kramnik and Karjaking want to mix in the top
simsan: major lag now. Round 33 is appearing on the games list now (but th
checkmate666: They are by no means out of it just yet
greenknight: they're moving up on Anand
Katalysator: Important game, Carlsen v Karjakin
malachy: yeah, karjakin is brilliant. tough game for carlsen.
Hasan: yes
steelball666: mc must win this one
Muziogambit: karajkin will obviously loose this game
malachy: looking good for anand
greenknight: f6!
Muziogambit: MC is king
raja8a: MC won.....
rubenshein: it looked an easy game for Carlsen really
theNorth: Some important news, Carlsen can't be worse placed than 9th now... :P
greenknight: anand-karjakin another important game coming up
blitzkinganand:
steelball666: well carlsen will be no 1 today once he beats anand again
blitzkinganand: [
blitzkinganand: '
manCatur: MC my hero..:D
greenknight: I dont think the K's can catch up now, but anand can if he beats carlsen when they match up
greenknight: which is very possible
raja8a: difficult for vishy now.......he must beat mc now.....
lalelu: who will win this event????
raja8a: MC there is 60% anand 40% chance
4202: who are u guys?
bakalao: Magnus can make history today!!
Muziogambit: Karpov puttin in an extra gear against MC
greenknight: karjakin has a space advantage but a rather bad bishop
malachy: kramnik missed a very pretty mate against moro
malachy: carlsen 2 points ahead!
blitzkinganand: anand loser has decided to make as much draws as possible
greenknight: damn lag
vintage: there is Magnus and the rest!
harsha: any yahoo bufoons here?
blitzkinganand: championship is over, MC wins
NorthChess: Can anyone calculate the ratingperformance of MC in this tournament? He is at 75% pointgain so far! I know it's "only" a blitz but still that has to be one hell of a ratingperformance
vintage: lack of killer instinct in anand
greenknight: Karpov lost on time?
simsan: Amazing how Magnus is Maintaining his 75% score!
blitzkinganand: yeah anand lacks capability to win
rubenshein: Karpov lost on either account
Unreal143: Anand vs MC in round 38
Steinitz: Karpov didn't have the time to see what the queen could do, apparently
shahost: lost on time in a hopless game :)
harsha: ya..is anand playing badly blitz?
sani: karpov had loosing position and no time
greenknight: or resigned because he fell for the d3 trap?
simsan: Anand is playing great. Carlsen is playing better :-)
Steinitz: Of course, Anand is getting the guys who just lost to MC, so they're all fired up to win one
checkmate666: anand lacking anything is just bs in my opinion, he's not world champion for nothing
blitzkinganand: Anand can win only games like round 32, where his opponent makes mistake by Na5.
Theokratix: 15 min break now?
Hasan: 7 games were played so far, when will the next 7 start?
Steinitz: Anand had a brilliant day yesterday, and an excellent opening day. And it's not over. Another seven rounds to go
Unreal143: Hasan: 15 min
greenknight: lol. you only win games when opponents make mistakes anyway
Steinitz: Yesterday it took more than half an hour before they got going again
tom: true its 45 min break
manCatur: Pono is coming
vintage: it is a 15-minute break
blitzkinganand: yeah greenknight, now dont say carlsen's every opponent has been making mistakes
bakalao: LEKO draws
greenknight: well clearly they must be, its just they're not obvious
vintage: Magnus rules
manCatur: MC is a formidable player
Katalysator: Tough day for Kosteniuk :(
greenknight: i will admit that no one seems to be able to keep up with MC in multiple piece endgames at this speed
vintage: whuch round is magnus-anand?
blitzkinganand: 38 someone said
Unreal143: yup, thats right
manCatur: Kosteniou not in a good shape...she's better qwithdraw
harsha: blitz, will kosteniuk win vs Anand?
ArcticStones2: ChessBomb: I am impressed -- everything is working so much better than yesterday! And it looks like you’ve turbocharged Rybka!
simsan: Magnus - Anand will determine a lot
harsha: atta boy rybkA
vintage: that is the only possibility of anand giving magnus a fright, if anand can win
simsan: If MC wins it's over. If Anand wins he might still have a chance
manCatur: MC only use split second to see the problem over the board...what a genius his brain
NorthChess: agree with Artic! fantastic transmission today!
4202: magnus-anand will not make much difference
bakalao: wake up Susan... and talk to us
Steinitz: So who is left. Since Anand and MC are playing the same guys, which players remain for them
blitzkinganand: Yeah a lot depends on round 38, anand should win 36 to 38 all
manCatur: Like Tony Buzan said: Make Use The Most Of Your Brain
mortn: I'm impressed by this site...
Chessdom: There is 15 minutes break, the middle of the day. Stay tuned for more action. It is confirmed that GM commentary will be availale for the World Cup, join us again this weekend
greenknight: its quite amazing watching MC endgames honestly... he makes it look so easy
Steinitz: @Chessdom - is there a link to a list of remaining matches
Steinitz: rounds
Sti: Yes, only thing missing now is Susan! This is the best chess site, even the Rybka blitzes now!
harsha: i donno who come to watch here..but GM commentary seem too complicated for me
vintage: endgames et al, magnus is magnificent
Bezo: http://tal.russiachess.org/results/2009/blitz/index.html
manCatur: But I purely think, once MC fall in love with women, he'll not in a good shape
steelball666: yeah go norway
Steinitz: I think they limited Rybka to 1.8 secondsThanks Bezo
vintage: how does one watch the action live...i've tried but failed
bakalao: She is still sleeping, wake up ZUZZZAN
tom: ANY GM AROUND?
harsha: blitzanand is a GM...im thinking
rubenshein: truly a very good site this. brilliant
harsha: he has been kibitzing abt anand all this while..:)
Steinitz: They're meeting Aronian and Leko, and Aronian has a few tricks against Carlsen - he's got a good history in their match-ups. Still exciting, this
harsha: why isn't topalov playing? anyone?
monozevich: chessdom has not a playing zone?
lalelu: can one of you pls give me url for live cameras?
vintage: topalov concentrating on his title clash with anand
monozevich: because russians hate him, harsha
greenknight: topa is not that great at blitz anyway
harsha: really? has top stopped playing chess n studying for AnAND?
vintage: and he reciprocates the sentiment mon?
monozevich: i don't thin so, after elista topalov never will play in russia anymore i believe
vintage: harsha, thats what his coach said.
harsha: oh...russia didnt inv top
Trond: Wake up little Suzy, wake up !!
Chessdom: Regarding questions for Topalov, his confirmed event is http://reports.chessdom.com/news-2009/linares-2010-mundialchess
harsha: i see
monozevich: chesdom, it is a playing zone here or not?
vintage: i wish anand-topo game was played in russia!
klypp: Topa is preparing for Anand. Right now he is helping Danailov with some plumming in Sofia.
Mandar: who is anand playing next round?
Trond: Plumbing in sofia sounds somehow like the work for a doctor for our wifes ..
harsha: plmming...haha
B102: break now?
lalelu: Has one URL for live cameras please!!
theNorth: Trond da....
Chessdom: For those interested, Carlsen is blogging here http://www.arcticsec.no/index.php?button=blog&main_image=35

theNorth: Yup, agreed couple is 2
harsha: u guys r punks...lol
Reverse: depends where you live!
theNorth: hehe
mickey76: very funny
gewgaw: i´m at ´lunchtime and have to work on, so every minute counts
arieseanrabbit: Topalov just wanted to see What Anand is preparing
Reverse: the games will begin momentarily
monozevich: fischer in herzi novig 1970 was the most remarkable performance in blitz of all times i think
bolle: that was because everybody else sucked
vintage: magnus is so matter-of-fact and gracious in his blog...wonder if it is him or a ghost writer
NorthChess: Mono: elaborate, please:)
monozevich: fishcer between 1970 to 1972 was the best
greenknight: vintage: i think its a translator
gewgaw: magnus´blitz performance is about 2950 impressive
gewgaw: he´ll rule the chessworld in the next 10 years
vintage: green, but it is magnus who writes the original?
greenknight: see how 1st entry is in norwegian and rest english
theNorth: Someone here had a name for the scorepoints on the right column, what was it.
sani: probably a person at arctic securities talking with MC, then paraphrasing him on the blog
xollob: wonder how Naamurawould fare here?
pesho: right column = Neustadtl score (aka Sonneborn-Berger)
sani: too good english really
theNorth: Thanks pesho
greenknight: its probably "sanitised" for corporate stuff... it is ver dry
theNorth: (...as I can remember that for later...)
Reverse: How come all scandinavians speak english?
Trond: In one of these blitz-tournament Bobby sat down outside after, and quietly annotated all 17 games he had played that day ..
xollob: I think Nakamura would make mincemeat of most of these guys if he were playing here#
Trond: from 1. e4 and all the game ..
vintage: trond, u kidding?
Trond: Naka would be the mincemeat
harsha: lol
Trond: No ..
Trond: true story
Trond: think it was Bent Larsen telling it
monozevich: yes, but naka must to clasifies first lol
harsha: naka good blitz playa
bolle: naka is not good in this field.. he loses easily to grischnuk on icc
vintage: for lesser mortals, this sounds unbelievable!
greenknight: reverse: they watch a lot of english language movies lol
Trond: Naka is not so bad -- and thats all ..
mortn: A player's Neustadtl score is calculated by adding the sum of the conventional scores of the players they have defeated to half the sum of the conventional scores of those they have drawn against.
theNorth: They don't dub films in Norway...
gewgaw: nakamura´s tactical skills are impressive and far enough for most GM, but his positionel skills are relatively weak
xollob: Blitz match of century idea - Carlsen V Nakamura
rubenshein: no, it is the origin of english
harsha: naka have highest rating on ICC..so people might think he is th e best
Katalysator: Carlsen will maybe meet Nakamura in a blitz game in Oslo 28th November
xollob: sez who?
Matt_Tsjakk: the latest blog entries from magnus are very business like. Repeating the scores and explaines the rules. perhaps most interesting for those not here, following the games every day.
Trond: They also meet in London, but that is ordinary chess
Katalysator: BNBank Blitz Oslo 2009
Katalysator: If both get to the final that is
Hasan: 15 min were passed, the game does not start yet as you told
vintage: when may magnus challenge anand / topalov for the title?
greenknight: london will be about mc vs vk
sani: 2099 or something
Trond: 2011 is earliest chance
BagOfChips: 2011
dryfish: trond=roms?
Bollemus: Magnus is #1, title does'n mean anything.
lalelu: Never.....ask FIDE for there f... rules!
vintage: boy, he deserves it now and not in 2011.
Trond: Hey you BagofChips, come here and I eat you ..
sani: the one who lives longest gets the title
greenknight: could be an interesting rivalry developing there
Trond: neida .. roms er nok I troms
Oface: @Trond. i think maybe Carlsen can do it like Bobby did. because Carlsen has photografic memory. and i saw Carlsen play a 80 move game backwards in just a minute when the game was over. lol
dryfish: right, jeg sitter i vadsø
Trond: Dryfish = Romsdal??
Trond: tøft ..
dryfish: nei nei
jimerik: baklengssjakk er jo ganske tøft :)
sani: translation: "no no"
Oface: romsdal her :)
Trond: haha
dryfish: lol
xollob: 80 moves backwards in a min? What a ffowohs!
steelball666: bah now i think they should get going again
Hasan: 15 min were passed, the game does not start yet as you told
Trond: forvirring .. så dryfish er hvem ?? jeg er Michalsen fra Bodø egentlig
greenknight: both carlsen and kramnik are excellent endgame players, both play aggressively (now that kramnik revamped his game) and the kasparov factor
Neperud: telemarken hilser
monozevich: fide pupil is kramnik
theNorth: Overhalling
dryfish: svein harald i vadsø, takk for st
tom: its like 45 min yesterday it was 45 min btw
Katalysator: The breaks have been longer than 15 min every day
sani: bunadsnisser - lets keep it in english
monozevich: hard time to magnus to fight for the WC
Steinitz: Oh, I think there's a reason why Naka didn't show, after being invited. He's an excellent player, but this is the headbangers' ball.
Katalysator: Oh come on Norwegians, speak english
Bollemus: chers from Lilleaker.
Steinitz: Well - they're not fifteen minute breaks. It's 45 minutes
theNorth: Say please Katalysator
4202: helsfyr
Katalysator: Trønder in Oslo here btw.
Katalysator: Please North
dryfish: ok np
xollob: gavoreete pa rooski?
theNorth: Also Trønder in Oslo...
greenknight: one thig is sure: candidates will select a worthy challenger
monozevich: i hate fide privileges to kramnik, he don't need it
monozevich: but he uses it
dryfish: why write in english, only norwegians here?
rubenshein: er'ebedre med kilt kanskje ? ;)
monozevich: fide is not serious really
xollob: This chessbomb interface is superb by the way!
ArcticStones2: English, please!
sani: hehe - just like the expression
bakalao: ZuZZan
priyanvada: Is it a break now???
theNorth: Just starting now
mickey76: how looooong should we wait??
ArcticStones2: All Norwegians are capable of writing English, so there is no excuse for reverting to your obscure native tongue. ;)
dryfish: icc / chessbomb is a great combo
monozevich: magnus is a gentleman
monozevich: like anand
sani: i like my tounge
Steinitz: e2-e4 is the official language here
sani: *tongue
monozevich: the best figures to promote chess
magnusfojo: karpov may be able to snag someting from anand
BagOfChips: yes very impressive ,,thank for proveing this site ;D
greenknight: i wish topa was not so influenced by his manager
priyanvada: Does anybody What was some shakehand issure with Carlsen???
ArcticStones2: Mono, has he apologised to Kosteniuk? I mean Magnus himself, not his dad.
super12345: I think 2011
jimerik: 30min break...jeeez - what to do at work now then..
greenknight: im sure he has... its not a really serious incident anyway, this stuff happens all the time
theNorth: MC was angry after loosing for Alexandra...mostly on humself I think
sani: hey admin - lunch is over. time to get this thing on air
bakalao: daddy GARRI: who is gonna win?
checkmate666: jimerik, I totally understand what you mean, I actually had to stoop so low as to actually work...
ArcticStones2: Well, methinks it’s difficult for ChessBomb to start the games before Moscow does!
pesho: sani - we can't yet broadcast games which have not started
theNorth: I also managed to program a few lines...
jimerik: haha..exactly
ArcticStones2: I know they’re good -- but not that good!! :D
checkmate666: I actually made a few phonecalla, but luckily they were all busy, so in reality I did nothing...thank god
greenknight: i mean, i understand exactly what carlsen was feeling because I've done that before :p
sani: tx admin - was kind of joking:D
vintage: has round 36 started?
monozevich: i have some reserves about kostenik
greenknight: you get veyr upset with yourself after losing twice in the same stupid way
Katalysator: It's on
priyanvada: The Video Broadcast doesn't seem to have audio Input...:(
Chessdom: Games started
Trond: Atle Grønn in VG.no said that in blitz-tournaments the players often just shake hands before games .. not after .. it can be too much handshaking
Steinitz: Come on. On the video, Carlsen banged his hand into the table, and refused to shake her outstretched hand. He was goofing off during that game, thinking it was an easy win
vintage: haha
Steinitz: Can happen to anyone - time to move on.
vintage: and with swine flu in the horizon probably not worth it either!
greenknight: i was hoping to see kosteniuk do well today
monozevich: i'm really don't like kosteniuk
NorthChess: Is it just me, or has MC played 1. e4 more often in this tournament than usual. I believe someone said during Tal Memorial that 1. e4 is "weak" because there is to much defence for black to win with this opening? Anyone know?
monozevich: but it is only my opinion
Steinitz: I think he's testing e4 --- it worked for him at the end of the Tal
greenknight: why mono?
monozevich: personal opinion, don't really matter
vintage: anand slow in this game against karpov
NorthChess: Stein: It sure did!
vintage: magnus better
monozevich: there is some players that in a equal level receives more press, i don't really like this
monozevich: more press than others i mean
Grungean: rahuldravid
bakalao: Magnus can make history today
monozevich: Carlsen really remeber me Fischer's style
greenknight: another endgame made to look easy... hmm I think id compare him to capablanca if anyone
monozevich: he have the same mastery in pre-finals, and make it easy to win thta kind of dry positions
monozevich: not capablanca, but fischer i think
monozevich: kramnik and karpov ar capa sons lol
jimerik: how many games left, 6?
4202: guess so
Unreal143: yep, 6 left
monozevich: karpov is the son and kramnik the gandson
blitzkinganand: 42 games total. 14x3 = 42
monozevich: grand
priyanvada: Seems Impossible to Catch Carlsen now ...
monozevich: 21x2=42
jimerik: MC vs Anand next game i think? ..
Unreal143: nop
Unreal143: in round 38 they meet
BagOfChips: win next 2 games and we got a new champ
jimerik: ok..
janbo: Gelfand
greenknight: karpov in his good days was unique
vintage: anand beat karpov again!
Unreal143: gelfand next
priyanvada: We should praise Karjakin also ...
checkmate666: Anand needs to win their encounter if he is to have any chance of catching him
monozevich: yes green but he study capa games a lot
monozevich: capa was a genius
theNorth: Is Magnus eating raisins during a blitz tournemant also?
monozevich: and karpov too, of course
Unreal143: rofl @ theNorth
Turbo: we are happy because carlsen is another of these true genius playera
Iskubadayb: mc plays like a young karpov.. i hope he becomes like him... in many ways!
raja8a: even if anand wins vs mc there is still 1 point cushion for him
greenknight: karpov's specialty was making totally harmless looking moves that were actually very strong
greenknight: noone else really does it
Iskubadayb: we don't need another Bobby!! Please NOOOO
Steinitz: If Bobby wasn't Bobby, there wouldn't be as many chess players as there are today. He did miracles for chess
bakalao: Boby is still alive I red that
Iskubadayb: Lifted chess then killed it!!!
monozevich: elvis too
Iskubadayb: Bobby denied us of his greatness!! He could've done great things for chess!! Instead he ruined us all
malachy: actually, carlsen is planning on growing an untidy beard and move to the philipines
fuglebuck: haha, I cannot even imagine mc with a big, scruffy beard
Iskubadayb: MC is a good kid... he will make us proud!
alik: Bobby was a great guy, but still he was proud of himself to a level that made him crazy.
Iskubadayb: a chess genius but a stupid man!
malachy: I firmly believe that top-level chessplayers have an increased risk of going bonkers.
monozevich: go home
Iskubadayb: he could've been a billionaire! Everyone wanted a part of him! Instead he chose to be a bum!!! A BUM!!!
Iskubadayb: what a waste
Iskubadayb: magnus time
malachy: yeah, the world needs more billionaires
greenknight: oops. looks like another bad combination
Steinitz: Chess billionaires? Ha-ha.
malachy: if mc gets out of this one, he is a master swindler
LuckyStrike: boris in shape today
raja8a: anand won...
vintage: i hope the last 6 rounds are exciting as the firt seven of day 2.
greenknight: every piece on the board wa sthreatened during that sequence in MC gelfand
greenknight: WTF dfraw
blitzkinganand: mc drew
malachy: thats amazing
blitzkinganand: now anand got to win 38th
Muziogambit: if he draws this one im on my knees
priyanvada: Magnus Escaped Against Profoessor Gelfand!!
blitzkinganand: else its over
Iskubadayb: Magi Cian at it again!
greenknight: #3 and #4 lost, i think theyre safely out of contention for first
Bompi: magnus really needs to beat anand next round to be safe
bakalao: Magnus can lost until 2 games and still win
Steinitz: Getting ready for 27.5 vs 28 or 26.5 vs 29
Unreal143: MC vs Anand coming up
malachy: or 28.5 vs. 27
jimerik: next game will be coool
priyanvada: Anand vs MAgnus ... Now is the Game!
Iskubadayb: Karjak, VK, Grisch, Svid and Pono fighting for 3rd!

saintpaul: So nobody wants to watch Polgar vs Nadiitsch instead? Stra
Katalysator: Now for the big one
greenknight: btw you guys should definitely chekc out kramnik's games from earlier
Iskubadayb: I care bout these so-called others! They make this tourney exciting!
Starman: This is is ! Kom igjen Magnus !

theNorth: It aint over until the potatoes are picked at Orkdal...
furuly: This is not good for my heart
theNorth: Only four more games.
LuckyStrike: oh true, then its over
Steinitz: Comfortable lead now - but there's Aronian and Leko for Magnus (and Anand)
Iskubadayb: fat lady is holdin the mic
dryfish: thenorth, why am i getting a TheJulekalender feeling...?
greenknight: thats the thing with MC, his plans arent deeply hidden or anything... its reasonably clear what he is going to do but opponents dont seem to be able to do anything about it
Muziogambit: MC is in a bad mood
Katalysator: The fat lady sings now
Nexium: Magnus JuiceOn are so far simply the best..
Iskubadayb: Pono 5th!
theNorth: Hehe, dryfish... MC is under the mistletoe!

Steinitz: Time to chew nails. 3 points between C and A, Aronian and Leko left
henrikakselsen: why dont chessbomb just ban anandblitzking for good? His just trolling all over the place
Steinitz: Outcome of Anand/Gelfand a decider

BagOfChips: ¨'
steelball666: he cant blunder this away
blitzkinganand: one win and MC wins
Unreal143: he CAN, but he wont
ArcticStones2: That was quite a marathon between Anand and Gelfand.
Unreal143: idd
simsan: yes Anand needs 3-0 and Carlsen must have 0-3 which is highly highly unlikely
greenknight: mc can just draw out if he wants
EraseYourMind: anands psyche must be stressed now
4202: mc will be the only with 30 or more points
Steinitz: I'm becoming a Gelfand fan. The guy's sharp!
steelball666: bah kosteniuk has not won a single game today:(
fernandof1: marathon game
fernandof1: by anand
Trond: he should erasehis mind and just go on :-)
blitzkinganand: Anand had advantage. Still he proved his losership quality to miss 1 point by not winning it
polgar1: carlsen will lose this game aronian
Iskubadayb: judit well rested after easy draw.. now vs anand
fernandof1: though anand missed a mate
theNorth: Someone in a chatroom said that Kosteniuk was not feeling well?
kukiboy003: anand can draw
jiribilla: the hot spot is 3rd place
Iskubadayb: period
rubenshein: Anand a looser?!?! Are you crazy?!?!
kukiboy003: where is that mate?
jiribilla: Grischuk is coming up in the world
4202: she's last, ofcourse she doesnt feel well
greenknight: theres definitely some other sick players like aronian
kukiboy003: hey
fuglebuck: feel bad for Kosteniuk
shahost: lwvon can supprise MC im sure he will try i hope mc don't try to draw
simonskrede: i'd like to see nakamura in this torney - anyone know why he's missing?
fuglebuck: she had a great day yesterday
Steinitz: Because he didn't dare turn up
jiribilla: Naka would probably in the top 5
blitzkinganand: MC could lose against aronian. lets hope
Iskubadayb: naka will be ahead of koste by 1/2
polgar1: carlsen dont like playing aronian
bakalao: I can console Alexandra
EraseYourMind: M never plays for a draw unless he must save a blundered position
simsan: steelball666: ouch, you are right. It's been a miserable day for her. She was having such a good performance a
greenknight: he overpushed in the prevoius game, he has no reason to do that now
Steinitz: How does the blitz affect the ratings of the players?
greenknight: steinitz it doesn't
BagOfChips: pesho: i'm closing this chat room he shut down the chat in anand s last game
simsan: Steinitz: It doesn't affect ratings
BagOfChips: *hope theybehave this game
Steinitz: That's what I thought, but then I read that it does. Thanks
Steinitz: In comments here
polgar1: aronian crushed carlsen yesterday
zugzwang: aronian will beat carlsen
Steinitz: Good that - because it makes them try more interesting stuff
simsan: Nah, it doesn't, but you could still say that player such-and-such performed better than their rating
NorthChess: Magnus still on 75%. Anyone know the last three winners %score?
simsan: (even though it is a rating based on long games)
kukiboy003: hey
zugzwang: but judit will beat anand, too
kukiboy003: anyone in here
BagOfChips: one draw in 3 games and he new champ
simsan: Aronian is one of MC's arch-nemisises. MC could be facing a loss in the upcoming game...
BagOfChips: only 75% ?
Starman: what happens if they both end up on 30 poins?
greenknight: is there a playoff? not sure
BagOfChips: heey where the dude ow me 5 crowns ;D
simsan: Starman: Either it's decided on "quality" or they have some sort of blitz- tiebreak ..
Starman: ok
simsan: blitz tiebreak makes sense in this kind of tournament
Alsamixer: who is left for magnus play ?
simsan: But I dunno what the regulations say
checkmate666: Leko and Jakovenko left I think
greenknight: MC hasnt been at the top long enough to have "problem" opponents
bakalao: FIDE: Rating Perf. CARLSEN, M: 4000
theNorth: Russian site is down, and it seems like this site then looses moves.
P2kmil: two pieces of cake

Sti: This is not a Norwegian chat room, it's about respect mates.
Iskubadayb: I am a Filipino and I am very proud oh Magnus! Anand, too! Even Alexandra!
shahost: they*
Magnus: Jeg er best:-)
dryfish: what a day for magnus - and norway!
BagOfChips: der har det vært norsk party med 95% norsk med 50% usakligheter all day
Malassise: i hoped more for kramnik
Gurgeh: Insanely well done.. :)
fernandof1: Magnus is in tremendous form
BagOfChips: next game
Turbo: the norwegians are entitled to speak their own language
greenknight: what happened to kosteniuk, she was taking games off the top players last two days
janbo: Kramnik could not go to the bathroom that much this time
bekki: video ?????
thomandy: Sti: One of the sites rule is; Use English, but in rare cases its allowed to use native languages, and to be honest this is a rare occation isnt it? :)
Iskubadayb: they got used to her perfume...did not work anymore!!
chinedubond: Congrats Carlsen
bakalao: Not a good day for Alexandra, But I can console her
henrikakselsen: I agree with Sti, all this norwegian is ridiculous, or "latterlig" as we would say... :-),
janbo: Yeah I can tell you that the Norwegian comments are all in good spirit
Magnus: re chinedubond:, thanks
hpotte2: Magnus ruler alle! :D
bakalao: MAGNUS AND NORWAY!!!!!!!
thomandy: Sti: One of the sites rule is; Use English, but in rare cases its allowed to use native languages, and to be honest this is a rare occation isnt it? :)
Turbo: to congratulate magnus in norwegian is a different thing to discussing variations in norwegian
BagOfChips: this victory will be a bost for chess in genral
EraseYourMind: and demoralized...I feel kinda sorry for him, but Magnus has proven to be the better man today
greenknight: look at the gap from 1st to 3rd place lol - vishy is guaranteed 2nd also
shahost: this is great for norwegian chess, i hope the diff clubs see the time and start grabbing small boys & girls now
BagOfChips: yea new starts
TrondH: we do
vasanth: poor vishy a little out of form towards the end
Sti: 3,5 points ahead, and two games left, - it's not even a close race this!
janbo: I would say this is great for chess in all the western countries - finally someone wins from the western hemisphere
Iskubadayb: They must have taken a break to congratulate the kid
theNorth: Lots is happening among the young norwegian players. Lots of talents doing good now
Muziogambit: kid gettin to be unbetable soon
bakalao: Magnus WONDERBOY !!!
greenknight: vasanth - even anand having a bit of an off day is still way ahead of karjakin and kramnik
Starman: Why can we Norwegians not use some norwegian language to express our minds on such a great day for all chess players in our small contry. '
fuglebuck: A convincing win. And we might just see some spectacular play in the last games, since MC already has won and can experiment a slight bit more.
greenknight: he doesnt have anything to be ashamed of
Sti: Allright, I admit it's okay for gratulations, sorry for being grumpy, it's just that I've seen a little too much of it,- did you see the chat at the tournament home page?
bakalao: GRATULERER NORWAY !!!
fuglebuck: Is Anand won, I wouldn't be happy with half the comments in Indian.
Turbo: GRATULERER NORWAY !!!
bjoerga: Its not only that he wins, but the way he do it!!!
Sti: Haha fuglebuck, indeed not :)
Turbo: in indian?
Turbo: thats ignorant
bakalao: GRATULERER NORWAY !!!
Turbo: there is no indian
Turbo: GRATULERER NORWAY !!!
fuglebuck: ok, Hindi then.
Starman: Indian is not a lanuage
bakalao: GRATULERER NORWAY !!!
fuglebuck: Or whatever language written in India!
EraseYourMind: Respect to Anand, but this was indian takeaway by Magnus !
Muziogambit: gutten er i ferd med å bli uslåelig
Starman: EreaseYourMind "Indian takeaway by Magnus !" Ver funny comment lol
Steinitz: Carlsen pretty fast against Naka here, for those wondering how that would turn out: https://webcast.chessclub.com/blog/2009/01/05/blitz-playoff-nakamura-carlsen/
Chessdom: The arbiter annouced Carlsen wins WBC before the start of the round. There was a round of applause.
Muziogambit: No wonder
fuglebuck: well, he deserves that round of applause for sure.
greenknight: yeah... #2-#4 just decided to take quick draws
AtlasRedux: It was amazeing watching his scores today, mastering both Blitz and normal chess .... wow.
AtlasRedux: And he even claims to not being that good in blitz xD
greenknight: karpov beat ivanchuk quite nicely
greenknight: and well played by jako
Muziogambit: kid'll dominate chess for the next 10 tears
BagOfChips: 30* ?
fernandof1: HATS OFF TO ALL THE PLAYERS FOR HIGHLY ENTERTAINING BLITZ GAMES
AtlasRedux: Got unfocused there against Jako apparantly
theNorth: Yes, there will be lots of tears...
Iskubadayb: He is not that good in blitz yet! You can see it! Isn't that scary?
AtlasRedux: Yeh, he even says so himself xD
bakalao: GRATULERER NORWAY !!!
BagOfChips: ty
Reverse: Best player in history coming up?
rubenshein: yes he's a scary kid. Imagine what his opponents secretly thinks affront him during and before and after the matches. Can't be easy
greenknight: lol I think the blitz practice with kasparov is showing
fernandof1: 1) MC 2)Anand 3)Karjakin
AtlasRedux: Nah, not a Norwegian victory, hat off to Magnus and Kasparov for seeing his talent and training him
Turbo: he will improve for 3 more years
EraseYourMind: kasparov could easily be among top 3 here
BagOfChips: scary thought for his rivals, but Magnus Carlsen may still have a lot of room for improvement.
Iskubadayb: I know a young GM who is monster at blitz...poorly managed, though
Turbo: he will improve
bakalao: leko won incredible
greenknight: i am curious to see how karjakin will do now
Sti: To hire Garry as trainer was obviously a good move. The timing also.
Iskubadayb: Gary would've scored 32 here
xollob: MC not good at blitz is a load of xollob!
sani: lol - kasparov has been the coach like since february
steelball666: hurray kosteniuk won
saravanan: I hope anand is still the best
Muziogambit: why only three?
bakalao: Magnus's best part is not blitz. he can still improve, can you imagine that!
Iskubadayb: people think mc will be great because of gary. don't you think gary joined him because mc will be great??
bekki: videotransfer ??????
fuglebuck: Iskubadayb: Interesting point. That will probably be diskussed many times through the years.
Sti: Gary could (of course) choose among most players..
LuckyStrike: mc was great before gary, dude, he was top3-5.
Muziogambit: Fuck if he will hell improve for 10
Iskubadayb: uh oh
Sti: Yes LuckyStrike, that's why I am glad he waited for that long before starting training with him. Now you can't say he is a product of Garrys
rubenshein: why don't the russians transmit the last match with carlsen and leko? simply ridiculously rude
bakalao: Magnus has now only 60% of his entire strength
Muziogambit: meetn that product youd be lame
greenknight: match is transmitted...
greenknight: mc did a speculative N sac
bakalao: Welcome to www.blog.magnuschess.com
Voyager: Judit was absolutely hammered by Gelfand.
Magnus: I think MC 4'th move ruined the hole game...
vasanth: missed a mate carlsen
Iskubadayb: sac was not good...but it's blitz
bakalao: www.blog.magnuschess.com
greenknight: that was a typical chaotic blitz attack
fuglebuck: how does the scores for day 3 only look? seems the points are more even distributed
Iskubadayb: I told you he is not good yet! As far as his potential.. good enough for this tournament, though
Iskubadayb: Next time around, Mag will win before the last day!!! hahaha
vasanth: nice entertainment for 3 days
theNorth: Thanks for chatting everyone. Goodbye!

PARKOV: Sad someone commented that he is playing for
PARKOV: Self respect
PARKOV: A player who has been in 1-5 position in world rankings since 1994
PARKOV: he need not prove anything to anybody
PARKOV: Why heckle a person who has secured 2nd position
PARKOV: ????
fleiseren: Magnus is best.
Reverse: Why respond to someone that is just seeking to provoke?
gewgaw: 31/42 - this is a 29xx performance - it´s mediocre..for carlson. the youngest blitzchamp ever
