- SPICE Cup round 9 pairings

Poor GM Le Liem of Vietnam & WebsterU # 1, he already lost 30 + elo points so far from his lethargic & subpar performance in Millionaire Chess & now 2014 Spice Cup Open. GM Le Liem Live Elo ratings in 2700chess.com now stands at 2675 level, making the month of October 2014 as his worst performing month ever as he is out of the 2700 plus club for the first time since he became one. With 2 more rounds to go in the Spice Cup, I hope GM Le would win it all to caution the effect of his sudden drop in his ratings. GM Le Liem MUST take a break from active chess competition to rethink his chess career plan, refocus, refresh & recover. His participation in open chess tournaments especially those with abundant low rated players (in particular in the Asian Chess competition) is taking a toll on his chess skills. His too much exposure on chess match with low rated players had taken a severe hit on his chess skills & abilities instead of progressing, he is regressing. Perhaps GM Le should be careful & be selective of the tourney he joins & to avoid playing in open tourney especially those with lots of low rated players as it is a high risk low reward scenario for him. Take a break GM Le & come back again in active chess competition when your fire to play chess is alive again… refocus, regroup & recover. A pep talk from Susan Polgar would do you great.
