Take that water away from Magnus!
Give the boy some Orange Juice!
Corus = Terrorism
Moro finishes 5-0 to win!
Considering that +2 may indeed be sufficient to win the tournament this year, Moro indeed would have a theoretical chance. Just the fact that he has to play black two more times makes it an impossible endeavor at the 2009 edition of Corus.
Everyone knows now that Moro used to be a cheater,that is not able to cheat any longer.
Campo is still a Chess God!
mark my words, Dominguez will take the lead tomorrow and will cruise to the finish in 1st. The only match he will have problems will be against Ivanchuk, but he will manage to steal a draw
Aronian, Vallejo, So
