Candidates Matches 2007
I just read the Chessbase news :
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3886
I was first surprised to learn that Etienne Bacrot (after Grischuk) turned to poker also...
Levon Aronian (ARM) - Magnus Carlsen (NOR)
Alexei Shirov (ESP) - Michael Adams (GBR)
Ruslan Ponomariov (UKR) - Sergei Rublevsky (RUS)
Alexander Grischuk (RUS) - Vladimir Malakhov (RUS)
Peter Leko (HUN) - Mikhail Gurevich (TUR)
Judith Polgar (HUN) -
Evgeny Bareev (RUS)
Boris Gelfand (ISR) - Rustam Kasimjanov (UZB)
Etienne Bacrot (FRA) - Gata Kamsky (USA)
In this round my favourites are : Carlsen, Shirov, Ponomariov, Grischuk, Leko, Polgar, Kasimjanov, Kamsky.
Hard to say who will win this knockout tournament...
Thibault de Vassal (2007-06-04 17:15:54)
Candidates Finals
Only 4 of my favourites qualified : Kamsky, Leko, Bareev, Grischuk, Shirov, Gelfang, Rublevsky & Aronian won their matches...
New pairings for the Candidates Finals are :
Aronian - Shirov
Leko - Bareev
Rublevsky - Grischuk
Gelfand - Kamsky
Any ideas for the next round ? :)

Round 3
What a wonderful first round of games! I was lucky to watch them all on icc, and managed to pick 6 winners.
Hats off to Magnus Carlsen, what a fearless display of chess. I now believe he will be a long reigning WC in 3 0r 4 years time.
For the next round i will unadventurously choose Aronian/leko/grischuk/gelfand
they should all be tight, id like to see Gata win, but fear his openings will be too weak against Gelfand.
I eagerly anticipate the games!
Graham Cridland (2007-06-06 21:22:22)
Next Round Winners
Aronian
Leko
Gelfand
Grischuk
You heard it here first. Aronian, Leko, and Grischuk just outclass their opponents, and Gelfand is currently much better prepared than Kamsky.

Dortmund 2007
The Dortmund 2007 tournament just started, a category 20 event with Vladimir Kramnik (recovering from illness), Viswanathan Anand, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Peter Leko, Boris Gelfand and Magnus Carlsen...
Who is the man of the moment, able to win such a tourney in your opinion ?
... well, and where is Veselin Topalov ?!
Thibault de Vassal (2007-06-25 22:04:56)
Round 1 & 2
Good start for Kramnik, beating Gelfand at round 2, in the lead with Alekseev. Solid games...

FIDE World Championship 2007
The FIDE World Championship 2007 just started in Mexico. A double round-robin tournament with 8 players and a US $1.3 million prize fund. Players are Vladimir Kramnik, Peter Svidler, Alexander Morozevich, Levon Aronian, Viswanathan Anand, Boris Gelfand, Alexander Grischuk and Peter Leko.
Round 1, all games drawn... Any favourite ?

Thanks for the informative reply! I do the interactive walk thing you mentioned its very useful though you need reasonable power to have several engines running at once - this you have! I am afraid I dont know how to organise test matches but sounds good. same with Rybka randomiser I have the engine but no idea how to use the randomiser and get it to play itself. 2 wins from the c3 is good as I think it gives white nothing ..but in the line I chose I noticed that after Gelfand (as black) got a draw against Adams with this line Adams repeated it aginst Kasparov who varied. So I guess Adams had an improvement perhap it was what you played? - as black has to find some very accurate moves . Incidentally I very nearly played 5..g5!!? which is really interesting but as my other games were promising decided to settle for taking a draw
I like the Basman-Sale and although I have given up e4 in cc will play e4 if we play again as I have some ideas against it. Thanks for the reply

FIDE published the October 2008 rating list, the 5 top ranking players are in a 8 points range only...

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave wins Biel 2009
Finally, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave emerged from the 2600 GM field to convincingly win the top tournament of Biel, a category 19 double round robin tournament, ahead of super GMs like Vassily Ivanchuk, Alexander Morozevich or Boris Gelfand. At eighteen and with a FIDE rating of 2703 he may be the next french good surprise in the top class players and bring some fresh blood in such tournaments. Does anyone have an opinion on his style of play or something ? :)

Anand-Gelfand, FIDE World Championship
The next FIDE World Championship will be held in Moscow from May 10 to May 30, 2012.
Looks like reigning World Champion Viswanathan Anand is ultra-favourite... what do you think about Boris Gelfand's chances in this match?

Anand-Gelfand, FIDE World Championship
Very slim. I don't think he can match Anand.
Charlie Neil (2013-04-21 19:59:04)
!!! The Next world chess Champion !!!
Now it is Carlsen v Anand. Vishy will find it hard to prepare as as far as I can see Magnus plays just about any opening with confidence. Krammik and Gelfand are theorists while Carlsen is a player.
