Some stats about the 2 players:
In this tournament:
They have both played 14 games.
They have both gone into tiebreak only once.
Shirov has won 2 more games than Kamsky. But competition has been tougher for Kamsky:
Shirov’s average opp. – 2639
Kamsky’s average opp. – 2656
Shirov has already eliminated 2 americans (Onischuk & Shulman).
Kamsky has eliminated 3 2700+ players, including a 2732 player.
SHIROV VS. KAMSKY:
1996 & earlier: They are tied with 6 wins and 8 draws.
After 1996: They have played 3 times, all of them on Nov’2007
2 blitz (each one won 1 game -with white) and only 1 standard game, that Shirov won due to Kamsky hanging a Knight.
I’m rooting for Kamsky, but I’d say it’s 55%-45% for Shirov.
So does GM Shipov. And the poll shows 55%-45% for Shirov right now.
It will be the draw 😉 ?
who is better in rapid and blitz ?
