Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I thought Nakamura lives in Canada. How come he doesn’t play in this one?
Some might wonder how it could be that the two players at the end of that truncated chart could be up there… the Canadian Open is one large section; the pairings are some sort of accelerated/hyper-accelerated pairing system.
Apparently a computer-pairing glitch caused some bizarre pairings in Round 3 which allowed some low rated folks to achieve 3-0 and thereby join the top group for one round at least (or at most!)
Monroi is covering the tournament; crosstable and pairings and games are there.
Nakamura has moved to St. Louis… I think he was living briefly in the Canadian West coast (Vancouver?) area – perhaps related to studies? (dunno)
Well Canada is right next to Buffalo,N.Y. and we have A GHOST here, according to fides top guys, and i think they were surprised that this AFICAN AMERICAN GHOST can play a lil chess off the board too! Susan somehow i think they were used to beatin up on Maurice and Tate and just fell asleep, so Freddie Krueger just start playing some tricky knight moves to lucky squares and Kramnik and Topy just collasped by MAGIC!!!
