Pam: Hello everybody
siamesedream: hi
bartolome: hi pam
Mrdemolisher: hiiii
Akireta: haha looks like it's a "White wins" round ;P
Randall: Van Wely can still win the tournament
waustad: magnus, you can just drag the borders around or eliminate some of the panels..
kickedwithoutreason: van wely will never win corus
UnderDog998: well does it start?
UnderDog998: went does it start?
Trond: Randall. This is a promise. Use your mathematical skills all the way, Theoretically. Van Wely will NEVER win this tournament ... repeat .. he will not ever win Corus group A a omg a players like Magnus or Vishy or Vladi is in. Comprende????
Trond: *a omg a --- should be : as long as
HetMes: Good morning Chessdom. I can't find the 'disable patzer comments' option. Or do I have to read the nonsense opinions of so many idiots if I'm interested in what the GM's have to say?
Garnoth: hi everybody, when do the round start?
Garnoth: *does

Slaven: 15 minutes to start
LittleVictory: i think kramnik will win today
Paragon: maybe short nakamura will be interesting
LittleVictory: yes,but i think nakamura will crush short ;)
spektator: White wins round? I think not. Naka will beat short and MC will win over van Wely, Kramnik will win and Anand will win.
spektator: Shirov and Chuckie must be considered favourites too
Pam: Hello Everybody!
fn2009: Go Dominguez!
fn2009: all the best for the cuban
fn2009: and yes, this line is being played a lot here
fn2009: though I admire Vishy a lot :)
Kamskij: Let´s hope for a great win for Anand - and especially for Magnus - today!
Pam: I like Magnus Ivanchuk and Shirov to win today
Glossu: Chessdom: Any idea why am I having trouble with both opera and explorer to see the site?
Glossu: they break after some time
Pam: Why dont you try Mozilla Firefox, its great!
frogbert: black is ok today
siamesedream: except of Anand ;)
fernandof1: black was awesome today..
fernandof1: 4 wins
fernandof1: gr8
magnuschess: black pieces saved the chess today ;)
Matousek: It is MLK day after all
ChessBomb: @Glossu: There was indeed a bug affecting Opera and IE. It should be fixed now.
LittleVictory: i think anand and kramnik will gain victory today
Katalysator: That wouldn't suprise me either
XjamesX: how long till round 4 in hours?\
TAzDK: it begins at 13.30 local time
XjamesX: thanks taz, what is local time for you? i live in australia
XjamesX: GMT +0?
Katalysator: It starts in one hour and seven minutes if it helps you
XjamesX: yepp thats what i needed, cheers
XjamesX: which game are you looking forward to kata?
Katalysator: Well, as I am Norwegian the only answer is Carlsen - Short ;)
Katalysator: And you?
XjamesX: i am here to see carlsen play also lol
XjamesX: that guy is a genious
Katalysator: Yeah, I'm not sure what Norway have done to deserve such a player
XjamesX: haha. that's true has chess ever been big in norway?
Katalysator: No it certainly hasn't
Katalysator: We had only one decent player before Magnus, his manager Simen Agdestein
Katalysator: That makes it even more baffling
XjamesX: maybe when carlsen becomes world champion it will boost popularity over there
XjamesX: in Australia, chess isn't big either. it is taught in schools but thats all
Katalysator: I was about to ask you how the chess scene is in Australia
Katalysator: I have to admit that I don't know any players, past or present
XjamesX: there is a few GMs but no super GMs
HuckFinn: Hi all, I just arrived..
Katalysator: Hello
HuckFinn: I am your countryman, Katalysator
Katalysator: Where from?
HuckFinn: Fredrikstad
XjamesX: i looked it up, Australia has 4 GMs norway - 9
HuckFinn: Who is Magnus' opponent today?
Katalysator: Nigel Short
Katalysator: XjamesX, that is interesting
HuckFinn: Aha
Katalysator: Schedule here: http://www.coruschess.com/schedule.php?year=2010&group=1
HuckFinn: Thanks..
HuckFinn: Where are you from Katalysator?
Katalysator: I'm from Trondheim, but I live in Oslo
schwam: hi
schwam: brasil present
HuckFinn: I am currently reading the book about Svein Johannessen
HuckFinn: Norway's best player before Agdestein
Katalysator: Ah
Katalysator: Is it interesting?
HuckFinn: Absolutely
HuckFinn: Well written, and a lot of well commented games
schwam: someone has material on Sicilian?
schwam: pdf
XjamesX: what does the winner of class A get for coming first in corus?
Katalysator: Chicks and money
XjamesX: chicks lol.
Katalysator: And possibly a higher FIDE ranking
XjamesX: why possibly? you would think deffinitely?
Katalysator: In this tournament I think you are right
Randall: FIDE ranking depends on how many points you score and what was expected of you
LittleVictory: if FIDE has contracts wih Corus
DrTom: Duh of course it does. Corus is for chess what Rolad Garros or Wimbledon are for Tennis
LittleVictory: i don`t follow tennis ;)
LittleVictory: i bet for kramnik and anand today
redrome: When do they start?
LittleVictory: 13:30 i think
redrome: ok, thanks! :)
LittleVictory: round 8 will be the most interesting
Katalysator: Yeah, I'm looking forward to Caruana - Tiviakov
amirkhusro: Anand - Nakamura will be exciting
francis_sayre: Shirov will go for 4 against Smeets
Garnoth: I do wonder why only Carlsen's games get a large amount of attention from commentators, there are more people playing!
Babarberousse: Because everyone believe he can be the new Kasparov
amirkhusro: anand-nakamura should be the focus today
amirkhusro: yes yes
Garnoth: my point is he isn't the new kasparov yet and there are a lot of to players here
HetMes: Chessdom, is there any work being done on disabling the user comments; I just want to read the GM comments, and I suppose many do.
Garnoth: Is there a relay problem, all other sites are showing moves aready
siamesedream: Chessdom: Moves will start in a minute, sorry for the technical delay
siamesedream: HetMes: why disabling? Read just blue colored posts. Will u agree to let IM to comment too?
HetMes: @siamesedream. Don't read the following text: You're a meany!
HetMes: See, it doesn't really work like that
HetMes: Anyway, the reason is the very low level of most comments, they annoy me tremendously
siamesedream: don't annoy, just enjoy
Chessdom: @HetMes: yes, there is work in progress and will come with an update at later stage, for now there is parallel posting at www.chessdom.com for follow through without user comments. We will try to give users as many options as possible
HetMes: @ChessDom. Great! :D I know about the chessdom main site, but my F5 button is dear to me ;)
Glossu: ChessDom do you what do I have to do to be able to run ChessBomb in Opera?
Glossu: It simply keeps loading bt never ends
ChessBomb: Glossu, you should direct technical questions to ChessBomb, not Chessdom
ChessBomb: what Opera version are you using?
mysql: It works perferctly fine in my opera
mysql: version 10.10
ChessBomb: Opera 10 should work just fine
ChessBomb: at the moment we don't support previous versions, because they don't implement cross-subdomain scripting properly
Glossu: ok thx
Randall: can i chat?
Randall: ok
randi: shirov will feel the heat of the tough ones for sure
romico111: who will be shirov next opponent/
Malassise: are thre games today ?
manCatur: no games today
toxenory: 21th
JavierSoto: what time today?
johenrik: it starts at 13:30 CET
HuckFinn: Where can I find the scedule (pairings) for the rest of the games?
johenrik: http://tournaments.chessdom.com/corus-2010 - check left meny for schedule and pairings
amirhamed: what time today?
johenrik: look two lines up in this chat
BigAlex: 32 min to go
amirhamed: my Internet explorer dont show
amirhamed: thanks bigalex
HuckFinn: At that site I only see the pairings for the first round..
johenrik: you are right... check out coruschess.com
ChessBomb: The official Corus feed has problems. As soon as it returns, transmission here will continue automatically.
Xaurus: To whoever had problems running Chessbomb in Opera, I am using Opera and it works fine
Katalysator: Me too
Harrier: What version of Opera are you using?
mysql: 10.10
Glaukon: opera works very fine
Randall: Shirov has a slim lead over the field
francis_sayre: a 1.5 point lead is not slim... it's huge... every now and then shirov can play for draws and can still win this tournament
FelixMore: hi every one m new here.m frm South Africa
schwam: hi
stukonic: welcome
schwam: today is Carlsen Anand
FelixMore: m so interested in shirov as he leads n nigel as he likes to defend
Simon5: what is Shirov going to play? d4!
schwam: I'm Brazilian and you?
FelixMore: carlsen n anand is not that interesting as i hav a feeling that carlsen is not at his peak
FelixMore: south african n hope to c u during fifa world cup
Simon5: Carlsen just doesnt want to lose,so his playing it safe
FelixMore: stu n schwam thanx for the warm welcome
schwam: ok
schwam: you will follow the game here?
FelixMore: i think so m busy at the moment
weerogue: Simon5: Carlsen is plus 2 after five rounds of a Cat.19 tournament and his performing above his rating (2810)
FelixMore: safe!!no man he is trying to play kasparovs style
Simon5: @Weerogue so he is at his peak,right?
weerogue: he is at his highest ever official rating. unofficially his peak was just before the draws with short & nakamura.
Simon5: he is playing good chess though
greenknight: i wanna see if shiroiv can keep up his +5
JavierSoto: weerogue, what rating was that?
weerogue: In terms of form at this tournament I think he could be doing slightly better. On top form he probably would have won that game with short, as he had chances
weerogue: but he is definitely playing well!
ckuttruff: next round is starting in a half hour, correct?
weerogue: JavierSoto: Hans Arild Runde's Live Top List says it was 2813.8
greenknight: i hope anand will come out fighting and play something ambitious
Shaun: Shirov has all the hard games to come.
Pam: Hello everybody
weerogue: Greenknight: I will be interested to see how anand plays, too. He will not want to show Topalov his prep, but he will definitaly want to make a point against Carlsen
greenknight: hi pam
Shaun: Carlsen and Topalov will dominate for next 5 years until Giri and Robson challenge.
FelixMore: sho pam
greenknight: yeah exactly, since everyone started calling carlsen a future world champion his games with anand/kramnik/topalov mean a lot psychologicalluy
FelixMore: sho pam
FelixMore: hi pam
weerogue: greenknight: agreed! Anand can't afford to concede psychological ground and will want to remind Carlsen who is the World Champ, which is why i think we may see a more aggressive anand than we have done so far at wijk.
weerogue: ...or it could be a 16 move draw...
g00golpleX: I don't think Anand is placing any more importance in game vs Carlsen. I bet he plays safely
g00golpleX: only Topalov is important right now
weerogue: g00golpleX: I think you have a point, Anand may play safe, but Anand is a fierce competitor and, as WC, will not like to look up the ratings table at anybody. Only people above him are Toplaov and Carlsen,so I think it's fair to say he will place more...
weerogue: ...importance on this game than any of his others at wijk, for example
schwam: this site has no sound?
XjamesX: what would sound be needed for?
FelixMore: goo u hav a point there i did not look from that point of view.so is draw expcted frm u?
schwam: sound of moviments
schwam: parabéns ao sítio pela transmissão e comentários.
schwam: congratulations to the transmission site and comments.
FelixMore: @schwam how r the ladies in brazil
schwam: ??
schwam: sorry my english is bad
g00golpleX: weerogue you called it: a 16-move draw
g00golpleX: oops wrong game...nm
ArcticStones3: No sound -- you have to sing to yourself.
g00golpleX: I have two tabs open...listening to ICC's chess.fm's analysis while watching the diagrams here
g00golpleX: GM DeFirmian
weerogue: g00golpleX: 19 moves, I was close though! looks like you were right about anand caring only for topalov at the moment...
Temcolx: hello all
Chessdom: Armenia chess championship is active in the tab rooms, with Petrosian as top seeded
ArcticStones3: Tab rooms? Which ones; what does that mean?
ChessBomb: Tab 'Rooms'
Hortensius: Rest day for A group today???
3d29: ChessBomb lots of people talking in french in the Kramnik room, kinda disturbing.
randi: learn some french
RoepStoep: quit whining
sani: 3d29 grow up
MS7: " Rest day for A group today???" The games starts at 13.30 CET
Skylark: does anyone know that in australia time
Skylark: screw it i'll look it up myself, just don't know CET off the bat
idol_x10: 37 mins more. Games will start. Go wes go.
idol_x10: There will be a game today. 100% positive
Vicky: I think Hortensius' "rest day" comment was made yesterday sarcastically about the quick draws
Skylark: i was thinking about that... what if in a draw white gets .5 and black gets 1 point, and in a black win black gets 1.5 points.. wouldn't that make higher ups actually work for their bread
Vicky: Bad idea: then EVERY black player would play Petroff
kickedwithoutreason: when will it start???
Vicky: In 6 min
manCatur: I wonder someday there is an inititive for the tournament that can fixed the opening. let all the players shud play Ruy Lopez
manCatur: or the player shud play Sicilian Defence
rat9836771834: can u guys help with my chess!

Zendo: how many more rounds left?
mueller: 6
gabrielconroy: it's carlsen, nakamura and shirov in a battle for first at the moment
gabrielconroy: tomorrow, shirov - carlsen, kramnik - nakamura and anand - ivanchuk look like the games to watch
oliver: anand-ivanchuk is certainly not the game to watch
greenknight: argh short-kramnik ended in a draw... kramnik was lucky to get away with that one
redfighter: hey men thought ivanchuk had already retired coz of wesley so!
redfighter: anybody here?
bartolome: yes
redfighter: bart anu kala ko ayaw na ni ivanchuk maglaro pa
zugzwang: @redfighter: ivanchuck said he would retire after the game against so, but some days later he announced not to retire

KingsGambit20: im waiting for almost all of em :p
KingsGambit20: and I think Anand is gonna play Ivanchuk, not sure tho', i'll see it in half an hour,cya
shahjinan: kramnik will take it..
Dr_Walhalla: yep it's anand ivanchuk today
Dr_Walhalla: surely drax
Dr_Walhalla: draw
shahjinan: yeah...Anand don't want more than draw to hide his prep
Dr_Walhalla: yep and it's hard to win with black against anand when he want to drawing the game
Dr_Walhalla: poor topalov if he loose a game
Skylark: i hope topalov stomps anand just because he's being such a pansy in this tournament..
KingsGambit20: I hope anand will beat topalov
KingsGambit20: and btw Van Wely is having the worst tournament
KingsGambit20: Van wely is at the bottom
phmilet: Side note: Roddick advances to the quarter-finals of the Australian Tennis Open
siamesedream: yeah - Roddick was a bit lucky
siamesedream: especially in the end of 4th set
rat9836771834: what happened?
siamesedream: referee called out, Roddick used "challange" and ball was on line, almost out...
siamesedream: it was set ball (7-5)
siamesedream: empire called it the winner - Gonzalez was arguing but empie didn'r change decision

manCatur: Battle of The Titan
Garnoth: I am looking forward to a nice nimzo ffrom Kramnik
KYLE: draw
Garnoth: perhaps, but I think if it is a draw it will be exciting, although taking the london tourney into account he might play c4.
BigAlex: 45 minutes to go
KYLE: Short nearly beat him...
ckuttruff: live chess is so much better than sports
KYLE: yep

ChessBomb: Gibraltar Gibtelecom Chess Festival has started in the "Rooms" tab. The top seed is Etienne Bacrot.
zabanef: when r the games of corus happening is in gmt time ???
komyt: I was just wondering why not merge ChessCube & ChessBomb into one site/application? ICC and FICS combine chess playing with observing, why not ChessBomb & ChessCube?
sdd: chesscube doesn't work on all systems - chessbomb does (for me). If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
FelixMore: wats ladies n gents
FelixMore: ment to say wats up?

Garnoth: CET
Garnoth: 12.30 GMT
Garnoth: I cant wait, Anand-Shirov, Kramnik-Ivanchuk
Celine: It must have been very disturbing for Magnus to loose the game yesterday only due to the time-trouble. That loss has to influence his performance today, if he is a normal guy psycologically. Therefore I look forward in excitement to watch his game today.
schwam: Anand other draw?
schwam: Anandraw kkkkk
Shaun: Carlsen-Catalan seemed a strange choice.
Celine: I agree Shaun
Shaun: Kramnik is THE expert on that opening.

Garnoth: are there connection issues?

dv: especially the anand - shirov game
ChessBomb: no issues on our side, but the official site's feed doesn't get updates
dv: ok, thanks
frogbert: in fact, official site seems to be down all together
ChessBomb: While waiting for Corus to come back up, there are some interesting games in Gibraltar going on right now (use the "Rooms" tab) :)
chinareaction: You should use free Robbolito instead of 10 times weaker old rybka program
krussedull: @chessbomb: while we wait, how do you receive the moves from all your live games? rss/xml?
Glossu: I guess it's over for today...
siamesedream: because of the weather in Wijk aan Zee... broadcast in forzen
siamesedream: frozen*
saki: coruschess.com is up again. Hopefully they will update the games soon
ChessBomb: No updates from Corus again. We can only speculate what's happening there, but probably their electronic boards management software was crashing, and due to people refreshing their site fell too.
tontonhuit: why you don't trust susan polgar blog?
tontonhuit: anand Shirov 1-0
tontonhuit: http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/
BlunderSuck: so now Kramnik 7; Carlsen 6.5; Shirov 6.5 according to the next games I like Magnus chance
Randall: Anand has also a chance
Randall: he plays Smeets and Van Wely and he has white against Kramnik so 3/3 is not impossible
omh_cu: hola amigos que le pasó al sitio coruschess.com !?

spektator: I oppose psychiatric evaluations made by doctors of psychiatry. They neglect the human soul!
fierychess: hello folks
Garnoth: just a half an hour!
12DogKnight: they examine the mind, not the soul
BlondeQueen: ChessBomb: what are the numbers after the points in the standings table?
sammour: i think these are the points they will add to their FIDE ratings
QxQ: looks like tiebreak numbers to me
ripost: those points is higher if the oppononents you took points from have high standing in tournament. I think they call it "quality"
sammour: oh ic
ripost: 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.
znsprdx: ChessBomb: what are the numbers after the points in the standings table?
znsprdx: much simpler is White win 3 Black win 4
znsprdx: White draw1 Black draw 2
znsprdx: with adjustement o f +/- 1/2 point in terms of lower/ higher rating
znsprdx: so a black win by a higher rated player = a White win by a lower rated player
znsprdx: i.e. 3 1/2
znsprdx: similarily a Black draw by higher rated
znsprdx: = White draw by lower rated
znsprdx: .i.e. 2 1/2
znsprdx: s0rry 1 &1/2
pulern: if Anand-Kramnik and Karjakin-Shirov ends as draws, and Carlsen wins tomorrow... what has to happen for him not to win the tournament?
pulern: one "if" less... Karjakin-Shirov is draw :)
Drumworks: Kramnik must not win tomorrow
pulern: But what if Kramnik draws and Shirov wins?
Drumworks: Shirov is 1/2 point behind,so if Magnus wins it doesn't matter
Drumworks: Magnus beats Shirov on quality too
pulern: true, thx. How would it have to play out if Magnus Draws tomorrow and stil wins the tournament?
pulern: Quie a large rating differene in tomorrows match ups: MC-FC: #4 vs. #21 (68elo diff) / VK-SK: #1 vs. #51 (135elo diff)
pulern: orry, the correct is: VK-SK: #4 vs. #21 (68elo diff) / MC-FC: #1 vs. #51 (135elo diff)
UnderDog998: magnus is gona play caruana ther no ways his loosing and kramnik is loosing badly, Carlsen gonna win the tournament
UnderDog998: plus carlsen gona have the win pieace
UnderDog998: white
Drumworks: Kramnik is loosing today. Then Magnus is #1
pulern: But if Kramnik does lose, then it will be Magnus 8p, Kramnik 7,5p, and Shirov 7,5p. What happends if Magnus draws, and one of the other two wins?
Drumworks: Carlsen wins on quality
Drumworks: by ,25 points!!
pulern: Wow, thatæs sick. thx! -with the wonderful fide system, when is the earliest this Kid will be given his (rightfully earned) shot at the World Championship title?
Drumworks: they haven't decided dates for the next qualifiers yet
Drumworks: but most probable in 2012 if quals begin next year
pulern: name another individual "sport" where clearly the best player (whom have been top 10 for quite some time) has to wait 2 years?
pulern: times up: the answe is Postal Chess ;)
PARKOV: Can Anand win against Kramnik
pulern: well- hard to get anybody to bet on another outcome
KrishiV: Anand beats even the improved Kramnik
KrishiV: and today's Anand says in general.."if i wanna win..i will" and no matter who...
saki: anand was willing to play petroff novelty because topalov doesn't play petroff
repsaccer: agreed
saki: that would scare topalov
saki: carlsen would qualify for candidate tournament based on his elo rating.thus he has a shot on championship whenever it happens (after anand-topalov match)
Naxar: anand rules!
pulern: what happends if Carlsen, Kramnik and Shirov lose, while Anand wins?
greenknight: then anand and carlsen share first
pulern: but who wins on points?
malachy: they both do. duh.
shahjinan: nope if magnus loss and Anand win... and kramnik and Shirov both draws.... than Anand should have more points... i guess...
emiore: when does the next round start?
emiore: when does the last round take place?
sozinattack: where can i view the post game analysis videos by theplayers
sozinattack: the corus site seems to have only small clips within the news report

Capuzzi: if MC draws, he wins the tournement...
schwam: Carlsen lost to who is the champion?
licuan: WESLEY and ANAND have the same score like his idol = 7.5/13
ArcticStones3: @ChessBomb: Is there some special reason why there is no expert commentary in the Final Round of Corus???
Sti: It's a sunday, maybe the experts have a family life that keeps them from that ArticStones..
ArcticStones3: ChessBomb cooperates with ChessDom -- and the expert commentary there usually gets conveyed here.
Sti: ahh. yes. well, technically issue then.
Humblebee: Not really the amazing finish of the tournament we were hoping for, but congrats to Magnus for winning corus 2010
