Do you know the full results of the open?

I tend to agree Christian on both remarks.

However, I am not sure that Scholma's position was not playable. It probably went wrong somewhere in the game. And more generally, I am not sure that we will lose many types of positions.

Then your conclusion is that 7-3 is unfair. Hmm... If he made two mistakes then why should not he lose 7-3? In the sec...

What did Valneris say about the match ? Surprizingly I only saw Tchizov's reactions on your site. Or did you update it ? A thorough analysis of the match made by them is absolutely a must. Don't you think ? I might come to Delft some day, maybe next, with great pleasure. I would advise you also to i...

What do you think of your idea combined with the 40 moves rule? Maybe then it will be even more effective. And what do you think of banning the draw altogether? In the new-Delft score-system one could let the players play blitz-games after a 5-5 result. If the new-Delft system is also applied to th...

Who has the results of the 2nd round of Bijlmer GM tournament ?

Kees Thijssen's odds were between 5.5 and 6 at the start.

It has now gone down to 4.

Tchizov is heavy favourite. Noone believes in Sijbrands to my surprise.
