It would result in interesting games for sure but would you be interested in looking at pictures of this event? It is not just about chess, at least then I don't think the Leiden participants feel this way, maybe some of the commercials feel that they have little chance of winning at the moment, Chessbase, apart from HIARCS I mean as a Chessbase program also, they have not participated with Fritz or Junior for quite some time, no fault to Leiden I believe...

Yes, I'm definitely interested in looking at pictures from this event.  |

| On the bright side, certainly well-done to the Sjeng team! This must easily be their most significant win ever |

| Has Diep played Sjeng yet? If not, Hiarcs could still end up getting second if it beats Diep and Diep beats Sjeng. Also, has Sjeng played The King yet? |

White appears to me to have a pretty decent advantage right out of the opening--black must play very carefully, and the effects of not doing so are outside of engines' horizons, so it's not a surprise that Hiarcs evaluates this as equal. I think that black is certainly losing after move 26, and possibly sometime before. It was not a good idea to transfer those knights to the kingside. While king attack heuristics might favor such a thing, there really isn't enough potential for such a thing to go well to try this, and white's central pawns are overwhelming. This might have been a situation where Hiarcs' desirable characteristics of having a unique, attacking style worked against it, turning what I would see as an opening book bug into a fairly quick loss. |

Rybka has won against Joker - so Jeroen gets the salad cream ?
Deep Sjeng gets the mayo and you get one of these pots?

Tie-breaker
Written by Jan Krabbenbos
zondag, 01 juni 2008
If the tournament is played with 14 or less participants a special tie-breaker is in effect to compensate for the effect of Swiss-system pairing. It applies to the players in the lead with an equal number of points(P). Only results against mutual opponents and the game among themselves count for Sonnenborn-Berger (SB) points. Buchholz (sum of opponent) points are discarded. _________________ www.Hiarcs.com |

It was nice to see Theo van der Storm in Leiden today. He is the tournament director but suffered a stroke a few months ago. It was nice to chat with him and he gave out all the prizes today. Although the other members of CSVN did a great job in his absence I am sure we all hope he is back in his chair for the Dutch open which will probably be in November. _________________ www.Hiarcs.com |
