Chess Forum / General Topics / July 2009Andorra Open
I don't see much American interest in this competition - Kevin Spraggett though listed as Canada now lives in Spain or Portugal [?] // Phil Innes I did visit the site which contains some English language but also a live game viewer with 4 games up at a time: Here is the main URL http://www.escacsandorra.com/ Leaders after 3 rounds: Rk. 0 Nombre FED Elo Pts. 1 GM Edouard Romain FRA 2597 3,0 2 GM Marin Mihail ROU 2583 3,0 3 GM Peralta Fernando ARG 2574 3,0 4 GM Movsziszian Karen ARM 2570 3,0 5 GM Lopez Martinez Josep Manuel ESP 2555 3,0 6 GM Damljanovic Branko SRB 2551 3,0 7 GM Arizmendi Martinez Julen Luis ESP 2528 3,0 8 WGM Vega Gutierrez Sabrina ESP 2352 3,0 9 WIM Schneider Veronika HUN 2301 3,0 10 GM Siebrecht Sebastian GER 2458 3,0 11 FM Dvirnyy Daniyyl ITA 2440 3,0 12 GM Spraggett Kevin CAN 2606 2,5 13 GM Balogh Csaba HUN 2595 2,5 14 GM Zilberman Yaacov ISR 2439 2,5 15 IM Wegerle Joerg GER 2430 2,5 16 IM Brunello Sabino ITA 2547 2,5 17 GM Kogan Artur ISR 2542 2,5 18 FM Demuth Adrien FRA 2339 2,5 19 WGM Guramishvili Sopiko GEO 2339 2,5 20 IM Shytaj Luca ITA 2455 2,5 21 Abhishek Kelkar IND 2158 2,5 22 IM Vernay Clovis FRA 2463 2,5 23 GM De La Riva Aguado Oscar AND 2532 2,5 24 Klein Felix GER 2301 2,5 25 Fraser Scott SCO 2080 2,5 26 IM Vehi Bach Victor Manuel ESP 2387 2,5 Top boards round 5 results: 1 GM Lopez Martinez Josep Manuel 4 ½ - ½ 4 GM Edouard Romain 2 GM Balogh Csaba 3½ 1 - 0 4 GM Movsziszian Karen 3 IM Vernay Clovis 3½ 0 - 1 3½ GM Marin Mihail 4 GM Peralta Fernando 3½ 1 - 0 3½ Klein Felix 5 IM Shytaj Luca 3½ ½ - ½ 3½ IM Brunello Sabino 6 GM Arizmendi Martinez Julen Luis 3½ ½ - ½ 3½ GM Siebrecht Sebastian 7 GM Spraggett Kevin 3 ½ - ½ 3 Midoux Sebastien 8 GM Damljanovic Branko 3 1 - 0 3 FM Wiley Tom E 9 WIM Schneider Veronika 3 0 - 1 3 GM De La Riva Aguado Oscar 10 FM Demuth Adrien 3 ½ - ½ 3 IM Vila Gazquez Xavier Official website: http://www.escacsandorra.com/ Final top 10 standings: Rk. 0 Nombre FED Elo Pts. 1 GM Edouard Romain FRA 2597 7,5 2 GM Damljanovic Branko SRB 2551 7,0 3 GM Marin Mihail ROU 2583 7,0 4 GM Lopez Martinez Josep Manuel ESP 2555 7,0 5 IM Wegerle Joerg GER 2430 6,5 6 GM Peralta Fernando ARG 0 6,5 7 GM Arizmendi Martinez Julen Luis ESP 2528 6,5 8 GM Spraggett Kevin CAN 2606 6,5 9 GM Kogan Artur ISR 2542 6,5 10 IM Shytaj Luca ITA 2455 6,5 11 GM Balogh Csaba HUN 2595 6,5 12 WGM Vega Gutierrez Sabrina ESP 2352 6,5 13 FM Dvirnyy Daniyyl ITA 2440 6,5 14 GM De La Riva Aguado Oscar AND 2532 6,5 15 IM Vehi Bach Victor Manuel ESP 2387 6,5 16 IM Rodriguez Lopez Rafael ESP 2304 6,5 It either is or it isn't. > It either is or it isn't. Alan, you must understand that this is not Spanish, it is Catalan. When, centuries ago, the king of Spain decreed that all chess games must begin 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5, the people of Andorra revolted, insisting on their right to play 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.g3.

The Catalan would be a third country, if you ask a Catalan. Can you people manage your wit sufficiently to start a new thread to exercise it and to ask your questions [?], rather than keep changing the original one which is about a current tournament? Otherwise you are in the position of arguing about the past, and your ego's orientation to that, while misapprehending any present. Not a great recommendation to any historic perspective, but then again, there are so few actual chess players now in these newsgroups. I am not sure, BTW, if Spraggett currently lives in Spain or Portugal or BOTH countries.

This from a guy who's long been in the habit of changing subject headers and introducing irrelevancies whenever a thread displeased him. And if the OP objected, Innes would either act the phony innocent, or insist on his inalienable right to put anything he wanted into any thread. Apparently it's OK if he does it, but not anyone else. Phil, if hypocrisy were water, we'd have a 6th Great Lake centered down where you live. |
