World Cup 2011
I am surprised that no one has yet commented on Mickey Adams win, in the first round yesterday, in the World Cup in Russia. There tournament web site is really good as well!!

One for the moderators to sort out, perhaps?

From the Wiki article about Mark Paragua (Adams' first round opponent):Paul Cooksey wrote:Adams off to a good start with a Black win:

Has anyone on here blamed getting married for loss of chess form?In January 2006 FIDE listed Paragua with a rating of 2618 enough to get him in the top 100, but his rating has dropped to 2521 since his marriage.

Looks like Mickey is in serious trouble in the second game. Perhaps Paragua's wife told him off!

It's not as bad as it was though. I think he can hold this

Far from sure but Black will have to work really hard for the win if it's winnable at all. An hour ago I thought he was just busted

Re: 2011 World Chess Cup
The website is reporting a win for Adams, which is good. I'll have to play through the game to see why there was doom and gloom earlier here.
EDIT:Ooops. I was looking at the match score, the game is still going! Looking bad for Adams. Rook against two bishops, two pawns each left on the kingside. Not a clue what should happen. I presume the lack of passed pawns helps Adams defend.

Re: 2011 World Chess Cup
Yeah, I realise that now! Do you think it is drawn or winning for Black? I see Black has been shuffling around for ages trying to find a way in, but with no luck it seems.John Moore wrote:That was the first game Chris doh! second game still going on.

Re: 2011 World Chess Cup
Think that it's won for Black - eventually f4 and f3 will do the job
