Each player had three minutes, plus a bonus of two seconds per move, to complete a game. This time limit has supplanted five minute games as the standard for blitz. Norwegian chess prodigy Magnus Carlsen, who turns 19 Monday, won with a fantastic score of 31-11. That's 28 wins, eight losses and only six draws. World chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India, two weeks shy of age 40, continues to excel at a young man's game. He finished second with 28-14.

I like doing that, because what counts is quallity and wins. for top teams as ours, every loss hurts more, than we can get back with one win. once more again, i would like to ask following players to get in contact with me: ian371 mambrino bess77 I've sent several msg's to you guys and don't get answer, so i try it once more again this way. thx having a look at the teams table, I was happy to see this: 1.

I'm just a little disapointed that place 14 went so far away from us (we where there before!). so the others don't sleep and make points as well. I've set priority on team challenges with teams higher than us. please note that every win against those teams gets us 2 points closer to our goal, but also every loss brings us 2 points away! so the gap isn't too big, but can grow rapidley if we keep on losing against those teams. Soon i'll have to say sorry for losing my first team match, but I hope that he'll do a mistake in the (easy) endgame to be able to force a draw. whish me good luck for that, i'll need it. I've checked out some of the ongoing team games and with some i was pleasantly surprised, others are lost but still fighting. so far of what i've seen, we are winning much more than we are losing in the current games. I'm excited about the high quality in the matches I would especialy thank olympio ALL of his ongoing team games look like wins to me! others are doing so great as well, that i'm very happy now. team chess, you gotta love it! HAPPY HALLOWEEN Kai ——— Magnus Carlsen's star continues to rise in Norway — Magnus Carlsen's World Blitz victory in Moscow has made the 19-year-old the darling of the Norwegian media. Carlsen scored 31/42 in the double-round event against the chess elite, with a rating performance close to 2900. He finished three points clear of world chess champion Vishy Anand, and six ahead of Sergey Karjakin in third. Despite this impressive performance, it was one of Carlsen's few defeats which really put him on the front pages and raised his fame quotient in Oslo to a par with Bobby Fischer. In an early round he lost to the world woman champion Alexandra Kosteniuk after blundering a rook, briefly attempting to substitute another move, and resigning ...

Is that the case here? Fedorov-Maletin, St Petersburg 2009. Continuing our theme of defence, how can White, to play, save himself? RB What's the threat here? 1... Nxg1 2 Qxg1 gives Black nothing, except a pawn down in a queen and rook endgame. Nothing there. What else? Oh,yes. 1... Qg3. This is very bad.

It was a perfect style for the world chess championship matches and for his duels against chess computers, but it was not good enough to win major tournaments. After playing listlessly and losing the match for the world title to Anand last year, Kramnik decided to play more sharply. It paid big dividends. In July, Kramnik won in Dortmund, Germany, and this month, he was victorious at the Tal Memorial in Moscow. He finished ahead of Carlsen in both chess events. Their rivalry will continue next month in London. Kramnik considered the Grunfeld Indian duel against his countryman Peter Svidler ...

I know there isn't a lot of talk in here, but in my experience chess players aren't very social creatures in the first place. olympio took things to personally if he has left because of a few idiots. Dont make the same mistake, your better than that. Finally, if anyones wants more social discussions with fellow GKers come to Ragmans ( www.ragsman.com/phpBB2/ ) you'll be more than welcome.

Absolutely no reason why he should quit the job as team captain, not to say leaving the team. It´s not he´s fault that olympio decided to leave GK. So kai: Just keep going on with the excellent job, you do as teamcaptain. Best regards to all of you chees Posted by experimentator | beck-web.com 11/07/2003 14:18:28 Play online chess I agree with chees...Message: I read all posts about bad/sad news and have to say that I totally agree with all these comments which gave the support to our captain. It's not anybody faults for olympio's quitting except his own (totaly childish behavior, but this is his desicion)...I think that kai_sim does a great job here and he has to continue with that especially now. Our team is paying consequences (I think -37 points if counted right) and we need to continue with much efforts and will for victory in our games and we need a captain who take care of everything about team (I'm sure you'll agree that kai_sim is the right person for that). Just one suggestion for future. We learned in painful way that is very dangerous to give to many team-games to one player becouse if this player leave the team, team will loose few months to reach the point before all this happen. My suggestion is to establish a rule that one player can play only 4 games at the same time unless he made enough pluses. After that he can play number of games equal his result + 4 (my case: I have +9, so I culd play only 13 games at the same time; someone with +24 could play 28 games etc.). This way we could minimise the suffer if someone leave the team. Team would lost all points this player earned before and four points more in the worst case. What do you think? Best wishes, experimentator Posted by kai_sim | beck-web.com 11/07/2003 20:23:40 Play online chess great idea!Message: experimentator I love that idea and feel a bit blunt, because I didn't think about that before. Also, the max count on team matches will now be 20 games, regardless if the team score is on +300 or on +16. So it will be for the future! olympio's team score was (if I recall it right) on like 15 points. Still a big loss (he had like 50 games going on) and other resigned games are still coming up... Right now we are on place 21 with both, score and team rating. Place 25 was when I joined ;p still a big loss and much work to climb up again, but I'm sure we can do it! Just a matter of time... I also received this msg from our ole friend dialos: 07-Nov-2003 15:47 Private message from dailos: Hello, kai_sim! I can say to you that today I return to the life again. In September I suffered a strong accident with my car and with all my family. Only for two days I went out of the hospital. I lost two championship and do not be how many divided per time. Already I am a little recovered and arranged to playing when you decide. An embrace for you and for the whole team Dailos ...i thought he just left GK without telling us anything and threw him out of the team. I apologize for that and hope that everything is now fine for him and his family again and that every one will/has recover fast. I'll be willing (and be happy to) to take him back onto the team, when he applies for it and give him a second chance. Due to his time outs in his regular games, his rating also dropped, so I'm positive that his first team games will be a little bit easier going :) I thank you all for the support you gave me I really appreciate that. Yes, as a team captain I'll try my best to get the team back up again. Things just didn't go well for us in the past few days, but I'm sure, that after this crisis we will be better than ever before, because "things that can't destroy you, will just make you stronger" (old saying, German I think). So you all take care, give your best, think twice about your next move and don't time out, then we will all do the best we can do for team. I'll try to increase my team matches as well, but for that I'll have to get rid of some MT's first, otherwise I'll not be able to focus enough. Too many games isn't good (had once 150+ games going on at the same time, I can tell...) Best regards and good luck kai_sim Posted by chees | beck-web.com 11/12/2003 01:55:24 Play online chess I just found outMessage: that after ELO took over, and olympio quit the team, I´m now the "strongest" player at the team. What a strange feeling. That really puts me under pressure, I think:-). And pledge me to score many points to the team. Anyway, I have always intended to do that:-). Best regards to your all, and may God be with you in our attempts to be the number one among the teams.

Posted by experimentator | beck-web.com 11/14/2003 09:31:17 Play online chess pawnstar, I disagree...Message: My point of wiew is simple... If strong player want to join, it's safe for team to make a joining progress slow. Initial 4 games is enough to see if new teammate is serious enough, then, when he/she make some pluses, he/she can play more games (as a matter of fact, every win means two new games possibility). Olympio IS the strong player, but you'll agree with me that our team doesn't need another one like him. If strong player who joined GK long time ago wants to join our team, MAYBE (but only maybe) our captain could rise maximum games. But, I ask simle question: why would player who is strong enough and who joined GK long time ago like to join our team now?

Posted by experimentator | beck-web.com 11/27/2003 14:58:48 Play online chess hi all!Message: I'd like to ask for two more games (I have 12 desired games now and think I could handle with 14). My match aginst zormaster finished with 1:1 after agreement that everyone resign one lost endgame (it's good for our time for other games, I think). One question for you: is there any rule describing draw positions in long endgame after 50 moves without moving a pawn or something like that (look my game board #886246 and see what I mean)? I'll try to win... I received a private message from davism: "Private message from davism: Hello, experimentator! how are you my friend?? I am a captain of a temporary team name of unknown, as we need to decide the team name together. i have just started a great team, take a look, we also have our own team forums, and our aim is to have the friendliest team, and to be right up there with the top teams, we have some great players such as dominic.... and i hope u can join our fabulous team, we want more quality in this team like you. Give it a go, because i know u will enyoy it, you can play as many or as little games as u wish, the advantage of joing this team is that u will be part of something special, and we get u team games, no need to worry about getting those games, we do the work for u!! we will lso have lots of fun together, were we have many ideas such as our own little league, a thing on the forums, where we discuss moves to play against a top gk rated player, were we all can learn. For more info just let me know, as we have the energy and passion to be the best, i am hoping u can join us in that conquest too, i promise not to disapoint u! we have a very very strong team. Its not that we are just going to be strong, but we are going to be active and a very friendly team. We do this as we have our own team forums!!! Its the team for u, as its a very democratic team, and anything the players want, such as any ideas to improvve the team, such as implementing a team league, then I will try and implement it!! To keep team members happy I will be producing very long team reports, about everything that goes on in the team!!! its also fun too read. I will be doing upto 1000 words long! You think its just playing chess nd scoring team points, we try and learn, and have fun while trying to get the team to the top of the table!!! That will happen as the rating team points will be changed, and as we have such a strong team, we will be aiming for the top. We will also be doing many other things as a team such as an intra tournament, team league. An event where us, the team discuss moves against one of the top players on this site such as cyrano and cairo!!!! best regards mark P.S. If u dont join, then take care and enjoy chess my friend!!!" Interesting fact is that I never played with davism and never intended to leave this team. I am curious did any of you receive similar message, becouse if someone is, that's spam, and if it's only message for me (I don't know why) then I should politely decline the offer. Best wishes teammates, experimentator Posted by kai_sim | beck-web.com 11/27/2003 15:44:41 Play online chess i'm disapointedMessage: experimentator, to read that. davism didn't quit his old team, they quit him. he was a cheater, didn't fixed team challenges as agreed and matched sometimes with 300+. also, someone who starts a team, should be able to make up a team name, because the founder of the team decides, and after that they still can change the name. however, i'm not sure how successfull a team will be where deleted accounts like deutsche joined. anyways, i'm not sure if it helps to answer your question, but the msg is not personal at all, i'm positive that he wrote the same msg to multiple accounts. thx for sticking together with us and not even thinking about switching, i thank you in the name of all of us. there is a remis rule, also 3 fold repition, but the game you pointed out you definately won. v_glorioso12's issue is fixed, we found a solution for his problems, he'll join the team again and will get new matches. thx to all of you kai Posted by lordoftherings | beck-web.com 11/28/2003 01:25:15 Play online chess agree with kaiMessage: i remember he tried it before also...i dont think its something fair.thank u experimentor to be with us :) u are a real lord. i can say that i m sure he copied and pasted this message and sent to all strong players.. he can do it but i think he should not do it to players who are a pert of team. so... welcome again vincent :) wishes.
