WC round 5 results
Shirov
Carlsen
Kamsky
Alekseev
Shirov, Kamsky, Karjakin and Carlsen
Shirov is playing amazingly well. He apparently wants to go all the way.
The big advantage is now with Shirov and Carlsen who won and then a lesser advantage for those with white tomorrow, Kamsky and Alekseev.
These guys are playing hot. Carlsen had an unofficial rating of 2739 going into todays game and Chepa had an unofficial of 2720 or 50 points above his official rating.
These guys are hot. Carlsen gets credit for beating Chepa at 2670 although he is at 2720. big difference.
According to Shipov, Kamsky was sure he was going to play with white, so he prepared accordingly, and was upset when he saw that he was playing black. So his draw with black is quite an achievement.
Kamsky will get to the final four. I’d stake my reputation on it.

what reputation ???
Shirov
Cheparinov
Kamsky
Alekseev
I think the last anonymous didn’t get the previous anonymous’ joke; the point was precisely that he has no reputation, since he is anonymous. And as far as the World championship goes, I’ll only say this: wouldn’t it be great to see Carlsen play Karjakin in the final? It would be like a preview of the likely 2014 (give or take a few years) World championship match between these two prodigies.
Once again this tournament delivers a bunch of posers and patzers to the World Champion level. Where is Ivanchuk, Radjabov, Polgar, Leko, Aronian, Gelfand, and van Wely? All we have here are second stringers and Kasparov wanna-bees. Topalov will mow the winner down like grass!
Who is waiting for 2014 Carlsen just might go all the way this time.
This might be the best shot for Kamsky. He is not getting younger.
The next round might have Carlsen vs Kamsky. Unfortunately one will be eliminated in the next round if both make it this time.
I think that the champion will be Carlsen, and by now it does not matter who will be playing agains him
thats very nice. can we have a list of ten best chess arbiters in the world?
“According to Shipov, Kamsky was sure he was going to play with white, so he prepared accordingly, and was upset when he saw that he was playing black. So his draw with black is quite an achievement.”
Once a PatzEr, always a PaTzer. If eh had taken along a trainer, this would never happen.

I 2nd the motion. Hear, here.
Good Morning.
Both, Cheparinov and Jakovenko haven’t lost yet. Why shouldn’t they win with white?
okay

What does it mean ‘no time’?
