But... Group B has played one fewer games so far!
H
Fab Caruana! He is playing better and better all of the time. He will definately be in the top ten soon! Watch out Magnus!
Yeah Susan, Magnus and Radja have only played 4 games. Not to take anything away from Caruana, but still, let's get the math right.
' Magnus and Radja have only played 4 games.'
Aw, come on!
Great play by Fabiano! I hope he will be invited in a top tournament like Corus A.
What time controls are they playing?
Game 25 with a 10 second increment
If trend continues he will play against Karpov or Nakamura on the first KO round.
Francesco, this year he is not ready for Corus A, but he will be in Corus B; he won Corus C last time round.
I played Fabiano 1-minute chess on the ICC almost a year ago and I realized then that he was very strong!
Where can I get the pgn to all the games so far?...the Cap d'Agde website sucks!
The women aren't doing so well in this one, and they have some of the top female players there. Is it lack of experience against men?
(1) As posted a few times already, Group B had one round less, so the overall scores are not really comparable.
(2) Anon @ 06:55 - is this a serious question? Look at the individual ratings and tell me where you would the female players to rank in this field?
(3) Anon @ 06:20 - check at "The week in chess", which updates at least once a week (Tuesday, I think). Also, www.chessbase.com should have the games.
Caruana is Italian prodigy. Viva Caruana!!
