Go Grischuk!

WCHOF = Xie Jun,Mark Taimanov,and Akiba Rubinstein. USHOF = Max Judd,William Lombardy,and ***** ******.

If ***** ****** has any dignity she will not accept. Shame on the U.S. Chess HOF for this abomination

A bomb scare has cancelled round one

the current draw protocols I propose a draw be automatic once both combatants have requested a draw

players will lay their king down on the board thus cementing their desire to resign that game. Only then will hands be shaken (not stirred).

So may it be written. so may it be done.

Sam bounced back victorious today

He really missed that knight

Was there ever a book "written" by Eric, Raymondo and Sam Sloan ? What would be the subject matter ?

A Sam Sloan book might be "64 Ways to Cook Susan Polgar and her husband"

Did the list of Tiviakov's 110 games appear somewhere?

please check chessbase.com asap. Thank you

Chess-db.com has Ivanchuk defeating Tiviakov on 12.18.2004 He then had a 74 game streak.

For Psakhis I found a 70+ game streak. I will update this as I go along. 77 games for Tiviakov. 106 for Bogdan Lalic Now I am disappointed his streak is not officially recognized
