Magistral Casino de Barcelona 2008

Magistral Casino de Barcelona 2008 is one tournament of several that are going on at this time. I hope all the latest tournaments is what's keeping players from taking on TransWarp, although in good spirit, GM Zhang Pengxiang played a game today, but the day is just starting, hopefully there will be more action. But to the subject.

The participants of this tournament are:

GM Alexey Dreev (RUS 2670) *
GM Baadur Jobava (GEO 2664) *
GM Kiril Georgiev (BUL 2644)
GM Holden Hernández (CUB 2580)
GM Artur Kogan (ISR 2561)
GM Boris Gulko (USA 2552)
IM Fidel Corrales (CUB 2551)
GM Antoaneta Stefanova (BUL 2550)
GM JM. López (ESP 2547)
GM Marc Narciso (ESP 2511)
(again the *'s are for those who have played TransWarp, GM Jobava played the 2.3.2a version though, GM Dreev has played both versions, but Deep Rybka 3 only once. He did get +0=2-17 vs 2.3.2a x64 mp out of 19 games vs that version for and +0=0-1 vs Deep Rybka 3. GM Jobava only played Rybka 2.3.2a x64 mp for 5 games in Jan, 08 getting 1 draw for +0=1-4) but again, it's cool to have some of the big names play now and then.)

RE: FTC Blogger Compensation Endorsement Rule Dec 01, 2009


While TransWarp Chess does get compensation for banner ads from Google Adsense, Google Affiliate Program, Commission Junction Affiliate Program and Allposters.com. TransWarp Chess does try not to personally Endorse any specific product, while I the blogger may like the idea of certain products and services, it is up to you, the reader to decide if a product deserves to be looked at via the ads. I comment on chess and computer chess, this blog is NOT about the products that are featured in the ads. At any rate, to date TransWarp Chess' blog and the small sister blog Paranormal Questions, has in it's account $1.59 from Google Adsense, no distribution of funds until $50.00, $0.00 from Google Affiliate Program and $0.00 from CJ Affiliate Program, $5.74 in holding at Allposters.com until $25.00 is reached in commissions. All this well over a year of blogging, I guess some abuse the blogging system to the point that this rule was made, I hope this satisfies the FTC regulation, as to what I heard on the site, it sounded like if the blog itself was dedicated to a specific product/s. But best to be safe.
