Avalon Rook Registered: 02/20/08 Loc: Washington, DC	Well, the aftermath has left us with a pretty big first round! The favorites all seem to clash in the first round: Carlsen vs. Kramnik, and Aronian vs. Nakamura. _________________________ I willfully participate in a campaign of misinformation.

proloy Ninja Registered: 03/20/03 Loc: Hyderabad	Originally Posted By: littlefish there will be a blitz tournament to decide the draw numbers of the players on Thursday. Chessbase have called the organizers cheapo for this. (That too by misspelling it as Chapeau.) _________________________ The fellow who thinks he knows it all is especially annoying to those of us who do.

Avalon Rook Registered: 02/20/08 Loc: Washington, DC	Round three had some great games! McShane's exchange sacrifice, extreme time trouble, and ultimate mate in 10 victory over Aronian is probably the game of the tournament so far, though there are many yet to go. Another contender is the wacky Grischuk - Morozevich game. Really fun stuff; amazing how that white rook ended up trapped on h7 behind a black pawn! _________________________ I willfully participate in a campaign of misinformation.

inky. Ninja Registered: 02/05/03 Loc: St. Croix, US Virgin Islands	Sorry I haven't been around and missed this prediction contest. Oh well, I would have picked Fabiano to win, and so I would have lost. But he did win his game today. _________________________ Ljubomir and Fabiano - my guys!
