This is certainly not Van Wely’s tournament. He inexplicably lost some games in horrendous fashion. He is certainly much stronger than his performance in this event. In this game, move 37 resulted in a loss almost immediately.

Tiviakov should play instead Van Wely. No idea, why Van Wely is always playing in greats tournaments.

OK! Suck on this:
Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here.
Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, got some adverbs here.
Come on down to Lolly’s, get the adverbs here!
You’re going to need
If you write or read,
Or even think about it.
Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here.
Got a lot of lolly, jolly adverbs here.
Anything you need and we can make it absolutely clear…
An adverb is a word
(That’s all it is! and there’s a lot of them)
That modifies a verb,
(Sometimes a verb and sometimes)
It modifies an adjective, or else another adverb
And so you see that it’s positively, very, very, necessary.
Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here.
Father, son, and Lolly selling adverbs here.
Got a lot of adverbs, and we make it clear,
So come to Lolly! (Lolly, Lolly, Lolly)
Who is that on the drawing? Certainly not Van Wely!
I think it is Onichuk.
Van Wely gets in trouble when the theory ends and he has to move the peices himself. Van Wely will be the World Champion of the future when all of the winning lines are published and you just need to memorize the winning lines and combinations. Remember when Korchnoi did not remember the Castling Rules? This is the same thing. Van Wely is 20 years before his time.
Van Wely gets his ass kicked and you say he is 20 years ahead of his time?
Are you saying we are all going to be losers 20 years into the future?
Gee. :S
Of course most of us don’t wait 20 years for that!
