Anand will face Carlsen in the Gold medal game tomorrow while Judit will face Hammer for the Bronze.
Nice game by Hammer.
It’s wrong. This is just a qualifying. The final and bronzefinal is tomorrow
Why is it wrong? She writes Anand wins preliminary. How is that wrong?
well anon hammer got a successful competitive result but actually lil magasparov and my lil sista played much better in rd5. See Susan wild statements like this i believe is the reason morozevich dissapeared for a year after i made the comment he played better than topy in 2005, i think they went in the back room and put it on their machines. yeah they went from talkin about ghost and aliens and magic to dissappearin themselves! then comeback movin the knight around in a circle. people something else.
Great example of calm defense and counterattack by Hammer. It must be pretty nerve-wracking when the No. 1 player on Earth is trying to mate you into the dirt.
