| Posted by fmgaijin beck-web.com 5/02/2008 01:32:17 play online chess | Depends on the GM!! Message: 2. Within those ranks, there is also a wide disparity of age, skill, etc.--some GM's are old and/or out of practice or were marginal to begin with while others are killers. 3. As many times noted in these pages, every Elo rating system is CLOSED and ratings are therefore relative only to the group of players within it. Hence, one cannot project a rating for an "outsider" except by their relative ability to some players WITHIN the group who also play in an OUTSIDE group 4. Therefore, one would look at players such as Rodog (Senior IM in ICCF) and Cairo (several norms towards IM and SIM in ICCF) and conclude that a ICCF GM with a 2600 ICCF rating would PROBABLY eventually earn a similar over-2600 rating on GK given that Rodog is over 2500 in both systems and Cairo over 2500 in both systems. But nothing is certain, given that a player would need to adjust to the differences between GK time controls, vacation rules, etc., and those used in ICCF play. |

Chess news: Anand retains world chess title -- India's Viswanathan Anand has retained his FIDE World Chess Championship title by beating Russia's Vladimir Kramnik in the German city of Bonn. Anand won three games, drew seven times and lost once en route to winning the competition by 6.5 points to 4.5. He and Kramnik will share the total prize fund of 1.5m euros ($1.94m). Anand became FIDE world chess champion last year by winning a tournament in Mexico, where Kramnik was again runner-up. Anand first won the chess title in 2000. Kramnik, the Classical World Chess Champion, had competed in the 2007 World Chess Federation (FIDE) world championship with the understanding that if he lost, he would get a chance to ... Anand wins the World chess title again -- Viswanathan Anand has kept his tryst with chess history here on Wednesday. The much-needed draw against challenger Vladimir Kramnik in the eleventh game gave Anand a historic win (6.5-4.5) with white pieces in the most-widely followed World chess title match. Anand, winner of all the major chess titles in the game at least once in his illustrious international chess career spanning 25 years, now holds what appears to be an unbeatable record of having claimed the World chess title in three different formats. Anand won the title in 2000 in the now-discontinued 128-player knockout format. Last year, it was in the eight-player double round-robin format. Now Anand has ... Barden on chess -- Vlad Kramnik's late rally in Bonn took some of the gloss off Vishy Anand's 6.5-4.5 world chess championship victory. The Indian dominated the first half of the series but missed the chance to join the select few who have won the chess title without losing a game. He seemed to tire after game six, reviving the question raised by his recent Bilbao failure whether his chess career has peaked at age 38. History may judge Kramnik as one of the weaker chess champions. His claim to a more positive verdict rests largely on his London 2000 triumph over the all-time No1 Garry Kasparov. Since then he has scraped a tied series against Peter Leko, won the error-strewn Toiletgate series against Veselin Topalov, suffered ... | |
