Carlsen's game round 4 reminds me of Suttles' play. Bg2, Nh3 closed Sicilian heading for a central positional advantage.

One key reason of the many reasons we chess fans are lucky to have Magnus as World Champion. He experiments with many different creative openings usually of high positional quality.

If I am reading the result correctly, the Canadian men split with an American team whose lowest rated player was higher rated than our highest. Great work, guys!

Wonderful result indeed Gordon. I have come back to the chess world just in the nick of time. My wife and I have been in the Bahamas for the past three months. Beautiful weather. It seems like our Canadians should have their hands full versus the Israelis.

Tromso Olympiad 2014

August 6, 2014

From ChessBase.com:

The Bermuda Party
The highlight of every recent Chess Olympiad, from the entertainment and night-life point of view, has been The Bermuda Party. It is the supernova big-bang celebration, and has escalated from a wild, noisy affair to one with multiple imported bands, which play throbbing bass-heavy music until well into the dawn. For obvious reasons The Party it is held on the eve of a free day, so the participants have a good 36 hours to recover from its mind-numbing after-effects.

Chess24.com advert:

The Bermuda Party
Tonight's the big night – the Bermuda Party kicks off at 22:00 at Driv!
There will be DJs, amazing visual projections, a silent film screening, art décor by the Chess Olympiad’s artist Chris Reddy, local food, lounges – and last, but not least: Bermuda cocktails and a dance floor!
Driv is located at Storgata 6, right across the street from the Olympiad arena. Doors open at 21:00. Exclusive and free entrance for players, team members, officials, accredited press, organizers and volunteers over 18 years old.

Lawrence Trent:

Carlsen-Aronian, Kramnik-Topalov & Bermuda Party later, gonna be a great day!

I know. But our chances of winning or tying aren't dependent on the day the match is played. Go Team, Go!!!!

Our team has a good chance of tying or beating Israel. Our players are still getting better.

It was noted above, but maybe should be repeated, that tomorrow, Thurs., Aug. 7, is a rest day.........because the Bermuda Party is today...:D

Not registering with a full/real name is enough to remove them.

She's put her full name as a signature which is good enough for me. [By the way, for those interested, when you change your signature it seems to make all of your posts with a signature change to the new signature. ]
