All draw for the guys
‘All draw for the guys’
Draws? Isn’t this forbidden? Can’t the arbiters do something about it? Why not Armageddon games?
What is the host’s cost for the invited tournament guests?
How much are the Appeal Commission members paid?
Magnus for President!
Susan, Magasparov for President? I thought we just got in there! and just puttin a lil idea or two out there in chess as well! Whats going on? hehe.
All three seemed hard fought draws. Only Radjabov-Carlsen looked as though it might have been largely preparation. Topolov-Yue was a long, drawn out, slugfest and pretty darn interesting. A draw is a fine result if the game is interesting.
