This tournament was not a joke at all. These players are all very strong.. regarding Kosteniuk..bravo to her for going for the win vs #1 tournament winner Yifan Hou who opened with KIA A07 in order to play for a draw even with the White pieces.
This tournament was by no means a joke. All players were top ranked.. About Kosteniuk, she played for a win even in the last round with Black pieces. Yifan Hou used the Kings Indian Attack A07 to immediately play for a draw…but Kosteniuk gave her a good fight.
why are you guys so infatuated with kosteniuk? if you want to know who’s better, look at the crosstable. girya and hou yifan are both better than kosteniuk. and kosteniuk is just barely better than lango and muzychuk. plus kosteniuk hasn’t been the best player since 2010. and did you guys look at the last game, it’s not a king’s indian attack. it’s more like a catalanreverse gruenfeld. also did you know if you really wanted to, you can draw with 1. e4 or 1. d4. who knew bobby fischer was such a wuss for employing the kia so much, but didn’t he win most of those games?
Kosteniuk is the best player. This tournament is a joke. She should have won it.
Why do anonymous always tell so much …. .
I agree Kosteniuk was best in the analysing part but helas it has to happen in the game, not afterwards.
Not really.Hikaru Nakamura should have won it. She’s the best female player but she was not invited. Its all FIDEs fault
