littlefish Ninja Registered: 12/14/02 Loc: Vienna, Austria	Okay, time for another contest. Biel starts on July 23, it's a double round robin with Carlsen, Nakamura, Morozevich, Wang Hao, Bacrot and Giri. Pretty good line-up this year. As always, post your predicted scores for all players. _________________________ Ninja tournament homepage "Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters" - Bob Dylan

littlefish Ninja Registered: 12/14/02 Loc: Vienna, Austria	And Morozevich loses again in round 2 against Bacrot. Crazy game, Moro had 3 extra pawns at some point and resigned at move 25 facing mate in 2. These are the contest standings after round 2, Excel file here: Code: Pred. Square error error 1 PircAlert 4,8 6,2 2 supergrobi 4,8 6,8 3 littlefish 5,2 7,5 4 Akselborg 5,2 8,2 5 ChessOutpost 5,6 7,8 6 inky 5,6 8,0 _________________________ Ninja tournament homepage "Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters" - Bob Dylan

supergrobi Ninja Registered: 12/06/02 Loc: Hamburg, Germany	Morozevich retired from the tournament after the 2nd round due to health problems. The official site says that he'll be replaced by Bologan. Do we just ignore Morozevich/Bologan now? Would that be a lot of extra work for you, littlefish? Bologan is everything but comparable with Morozevich in my opinion (and I don't think about their ratings when saying so).
