World Open - standings & live games

Re: World Open - standings & live games

Maybe the Monroi site is the only one that is working? The 'official' website that Vlad D. mentioned
in the start of this thread ( http://www.worldopen.com/ ) seems rather broken at this moment ...
Best of luck to all my compatriots in this tournament!

They have some problems with the worldopen.com domain name. Use the following link for the final standings

Rene, thanks but your link doesn't work either. Still wondering how Razvan did in the last two rounds.

Re: World Open - standings & live games

Try again Vlad. I just tried and it leads directly to crosstable. Razvan beat your fish as you predicted and then lost to GM Lenderman in the last round, still finishing with 2 against GM's (how many Fide points gain is that? WOW!) Awesome.

Re: World Open - standings & live games

Nope, link still doesn't work for me. :(

Re: World Open - standings & live games

That's very odd, Vlad, since it most certainly works for me. Are you clicking on Rene's link and not the original link posted?

[Vlad Dobrich]

Re: World Open - standings & live games

Yes, I,m clicking on the link on Rene's post and still no X-table.

Hi Vlad:

Which browser on which platform are you using? You may need to close all instances of the browser and then re-open it.

I've had instances with different browsers where if something glitches when loading a page, you can reload until you're blue in the face and it still won't work until you close the browser down and start it again.

Re: World Open - standings & live games

Seven plus years ago, when I got my first computer I was using Internet explorer. Then someone highly recommended that I switch to FireFox, which I did, only to discover a string of new problems and so went back to IE which worked just fine.
Now when I had to get a new hard drive installed, I was convinced to use google chrome - which I did and here was the first problem I encountered. So now I'm back to IE and here I'll stay! So no offence if I ignore any further advice.
Thanks,

Re: World Open - standings & live games

Back to the main topic - Razvan's stellar performance!
He played eight GM's in a row and held his own, and then some!

w GM Yuri Gonzalez Vidal 2546
= GM Yury Shulman 2568
w GM Timur Gareyev 2640
0 GM Ilya Smirin 2647
= GM Oliver Barbosa 2561
= GM Alexander Stripunsky 2550
w GM Alexander Fishbein 2479
0 GM Aleksandr Lenderman 2593

This, I understand is good enough for a GM norm - his first round win against an untitled player can be ignored.
Against the GM's, Razvan's performance rating comes to 2623!
Having watched his games at the Saturday Rapids, I can venture to say that Razvan plays at the GM level - every game - every move!

And so I will not be surprised if Razvan achieves two more GM norms in his very next two events where the norm is possible.

Hi Vlad:

I understand your frustration. I'm still running XP on most of my systems and IE8 is the last supported version, which is both SLOW, and a memory hog. So I mostly use Chrome. But Chrome has its glitches (like the one I mentioned where you sometimes have to shut it down, and earlier versions not handling drop-down lists very well). I also have Firefox installed and I use it for some stuff and still go back to IE for some things (certain pages still like ActiveX controls).

Whenever a page doesn't seem to "work" properly, I usually try it in another browser.
