Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
So Grischuk is the winner! Congratulations!
So Ivanchuk is the winner! Congratulations!
According to the tie-break rules the winner is Grischuk! Congratulations!
And what exactly is the first tie-break criteria? Number of wins?
I can’t find the regulations on the official site.
Based on number of wins.. http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic.html
Then why is Aronian lkisted on place 7 on the official site? He should be 5th if number of wins is the criteria.
Who cares about Aronian?
He can eat my foreskin.
Grischuk is the winner and gets the 100.000 euro plus the qualification for the grand slam final : victory is awarded to the player with the most wins.
They changed it now. Aronian is 5th.
OK, now whats the second criteria? Why is Radjabov ahead of Wang Yue?
Tiebreaks are:
1) Head to head
2) Number of wins
3) Cumulative score of opponents with greater than 50%.
Grischuk wins (more wins), but they split the 1st prize money: €87,500 euros each. Grischuk gets the invite to the Bilbao Grand Slam Final held in September, joining Topalov and Karjakin (so far).

Aronian’s mama is much happier now.
Radjabov and Wang Yue are tied on points and first two tie-beak criterias.
If we take the score against opponents with score higher than 50% then Wang Yue beats Radjabov by 3 – 2.5
If we take opponents with 50% or higher than Wang Yue also beats Radjabov with 3.5 – 3
So why is Wang Yue 7th and Radjabov 6th?
P.s.: I see that in the meantime official site ranks Aronian as 7th again. Seems like they don’t know how to rank them properly either.
Uh oh, now I see.
In three way head-to-head between Radjabov, Wang Yue and Aronian Radjabov scored 2.5, Wang Yue 2 and Aronian 1.5 points. So the classification on official site is correct.
1.Grischuk
2.Ivanchuk
3.Carlsen
4.Anand
5.Radjabov
6.Wang Yue
7.Aronian
8.Dominguez Perez
Anand second name is draw.
Anand won as many games as Ivanchuk and has drawn two less than Ivanchuk.
It is ivanchuk who has drawn the most games in this tournament.
Viswanathan Draw Anand
Hmm, lets see:
Ivanchuk – 12 draws
Dominguez – 12 draws
Radjabov – 11 draws
Wang Yue – 11 draws
Grischuk – 10 draws
Anand – 10 draws
Carlsen – 9 draws
Aronian – 7 draws
How come that Anand and Carlsen are considered to be drawish???
Too bad Carlsen didn’t win yesterday because he would have tied for first witn a draw today and having four wins he would have a won on tiebreak. But he seems to be getting his form except for that brief lack of concentration.
If FIDE didn’t play with Chernenko Topalov would have played here:)
“Who cares about Aronian?”
Max the Stupido?
criteria- plural
criterion- singular
:.(
Max the Stupido meet Anon the Jackass.
when there is a lot of money on stake you can always count Grischuk in :]], so pity he likes poker more than chess
Carlsen is too young to win such an event, but his time will come once he improves his enduration.
what a great tournament. Congrats to all. Nobody here was a wet blanket. Tourneys like this a rare….and really fun to watch! yay!
Only thing missing was Judit gata and Vesselin
Congrats to all
