Now I know why Cheparinov didn’t want to shake hands with Short in Wijk.
He simply didn’t want to get infected with the Quadruple-Zero-Curse (also known by it’s chemical formula 0-0-0-0 ). This curse was just recently discovered during a tournament in Canada….
Finally he had to shake hands with Short….now see what became of it. Cheparinov is infected with the deadly 0-0-0-0 desease!!!
Inarkiev and Gashimov pulled a draw. I thought Inarkiev could have done better but he only have 15 mins left on the clock and he wasn’t able to keep protect e1 and that forced a repeat draw. I don’t have software so I don’t know how the engines saw it. Can some one post on that.

Uggh,Carlsen lost like a baby in this round…What has happend,the lack of orange juice?
Next round ->time to see Karjakin gets mated in less than 30 moves :o)
Chepa is playing uninspired chess so far. I have to think there is something else going on with him.
Is Kramnik around? Has he placed a “Chepa” bug in the loo?
What happened, Magnus? *cry* That was sad to see…
