[Hans Jung]

and about 50 other good games. Id say more but Im tired (but one happy chess fan) Thanks to all the players (and commentators!) for the great entertainment!

[Hans Jung]

Full value and congrats to Erwin L'Ami against Sam Shankland. Opening, middlegame and endgame and kudos to Sam for playing on in the endgame.

[Hans Jung]

Fabulous Fabi also provided great entertainment.

[Hans Jung]

Vocatura - Xiong - dancing queens

[Hans Jung]

Post above should be: but Kuzubov wasnt done

[Hans Jung]

Magnus - Kuzubov great entertainment. Magnus's Ng3-Nf5-Nd6 etc but Kuzubov want done - he put up a great fight - if only he had found c4 and later c3.

[Hans Jung]

I envy Eric being able to compete in that field. It must be tremendously exciting.

[Hans Jung]

Eric just missed a win but great entertainment. He must be exhausted. Best wishes to him! Keep up the fight Eric!

[Hans Jung]

Too many entertaining games. Too many great fights (I know, I know. Bliss! Just wonderful. But my head is swimming from too many moves and variations.)

[Hans Jung]

They've just started (EST 10am Thursday 10th).

First Round Pairings

Comments on Pairings

Games start at 3 PM local, which is 10 AM Montreal/Toronto time.

Looks like it will be a fantastic tournament. Eric starts off against Inarkiev!

Online Comments

From the EC Forum: Round 1 pairings are up and it’s difficult to know where to start regarding interesting matches with such an incredible field and it’s going to be a nightmare to choose what to watch. Start time is Thursday 3pm. Six of the top 10 players in the world are choosing not to play (Ding, Giri, Nepo, MVL, Mamedyarov, Dominguez) and Carlsen & Caruana are of course not playing for the Candidates, which means that effectively the top seeds for Candidates qualification are Wesley So and Vishy Anand. Here are the England GM matches:

Jobava Baadur (2617) v Howell David (2694)
Jones Gawain (2688) v Abdusattorov Nodirbek (2608)
Yilmaz Mustafa (2595) v Mcshane Luke J (2682)
Arkell Keith (2447) v Oparin Grigoriy (2654)
___________

- For the pairings, isn't it just 1-78, 2-79, 3-80, etc...?
So, Magnus would have an easy 2636 GM in the 1st round

- Pairings are out!! Nice game Tari vs Levon

- To GM Vlastimil Jansa: He is old. Teach them how to play chess!!!

- Interesting bet: after which round does no player have a 100% score anymore?

- after round 5 I would guess or round 4

- after round 5 is more likely

- My guess: round 4, so no-one with 4/4.

- where is Firouzja?

- Firouzja will not play, unfortunately !!!

- lol, adly ahmed and kuzubov have the same rating but A comes before K, so Adly was considered the higher seed and got paired against the lowest seed compared to Kuzubov who got paired against the highest seed.

- Go Giri! But Seriously Kamsky is looking to do some damage in this tourney. Can you imagine if he got into the Candidates?
