Wesley So will win the World Cup.
No! Ray Robson will!
I firmly believe that Vladislav Tkachiev will win. Since he can drink the most, he will win.
So is not old enough to drink or even drive a car.
Tkachiev will prove that once again irresponsible behavior gets rewarded in chess.
Susan im rooting for my lil sister!, next time you speak with her tell her to come to U.S. where all the chess action is happening!!! sssshhh! and watch out for Moro and Bacrot their starting to get tricky!”like me”! haha.
Gyerünk Judit, te vagy a legjobb!
26 Russians, 10 each from China and USA, 9 Ukranians, 7 Indians! 5 strong Azeris. And people are behind SO, RAY, TKACHIEV, JUDITH and BACROT. What a pity fans.
Which country will have max representation in Round of 8?
Can’t believe Tkachiev got an invite.
“Can’t believe Tkachiev got an invite.”
Aw Come on! Alcoholics need love too!
Would like to see Judit return to the Glory Days. She’s not to old to get back into the top elite group of Super GM’s.
Why do they list Philippine GM Rogelio Antonio has A. Rogelio? Rogelio is his first name, not his last.
“She’s not to old to get back into the top elite group of Super GM’s.”
She’s more interested in being a Super MOM. I guess this explains why women are better than men. They know when to put away their toys and grow up.
Men play all the time: in the board room, in battle field, or even in the pulpit. It is all a game to men.
Women have an instinct to care and nurture even at the cost of fame and fortune.
This is superior.
Where is the strongest of them all, Nakamura?
Nakamura qualified (by winning the US Championship) but declined the invitation because he will play in London at the same time. Whether he is “strongest of them all” is another story …
LOL, strongest of them all. LOL
Tell me, what did he win that wasn’t rapid or blitz? Please tell me.
