Хоть и не люблю я этого поганца :) , но Шорт сыграл как в лучшие времена, когда он Тимману мат королем поставил :cool:

Aлександр Морозевич все-таки будет играть в Реджио-Эмилии

Сегодня вечером шахматист, наконец, добрался до гостиницы "Astoria Mercure" в Реджио-Эмилии и готов вступить в борьбу. Завтра во втором туре Александру предстоит партия с Шортом черными.

 

The most important news of the day is that Alexander Morozevich finally arrived in Reggio Emilia after two days of traveling. Our most sincere compliments for his tenacity!

It is quite logical that his game against Navara has been postponed for the rest day (the 1st of January), which means that they will meet each other only next year!

Nigel Short - Vugar Gashimov 1-0
Alexander Morozevich - David Navara (postponed to 1st January)
Fabiano Caruana - Vassily Ivanchuk 1/2
Francisco Vallejo Pons - Michele Godena 1-0
Alexander Onischuk - Sergei Movsesian 1/2

Шорт и сегодня накрутил.... Опять беготня королем и Моро шлепнул   :O 

 

 

Сегодня Шорта получил от Каруаны. Пора было 

Francisco Vallejo Pons continued his fantastic run in the 53rd Torneo di Capodanno and is convincingly leading with 3.5 points from four games, full point and a half ahead of the huge tie on the second place. With black pieces in round four, Vallejo simply overrun the early leader Nigel Short.

А Моро выиграл пропущенную, не так все и плохо уже теперь, женщинами заинтересовался 

 

Михалыч медленно перекатывал Годену в редком варианте испанки и получил таки подарочек
