      'ao' is pronounced as word 'or' in english. It is kind of hard to find similar pronouncement for 'C'.

          re live broadcast of age groups

          why are the under 8 and the under 10 groups not LIVE?

          Last year in Turkey they had live broadcasts for these two groups

            It was an unconventional upbringing, that's all. He ended up turning out fine.

              I have lots of photo and even video with him during round 7. I will post them when I will be able to get better internet speed. Also check the team blog for pics.

                Despite turning out fine, it must have been very hard for Jeff Sarwer (and his sister) to go through such a tough childhood. The video showed how much passion he had for chess and family life, and all that was taken away from him at a young age. Just imagine what he could have accomplished. People move on, but they never forget. :(

                  It looks that there is ..... a silver medal for him instead of a gold one.
                  Congratulations!

                      So I guess that means I have to call a nine year old kid "champ", eh?

                          I haven't met this boy yet, but i'm SO proud of him.
                          Such success like that? Makes me feel like i can't play chess professionally.
                          Sincerely,
