Word Cup 2009 Round 4 Tiebreak game 1 pairings and those in Round 5

Here are the pairings for game 1 of the Rapid Tiebreaks for Round 4 tomorrow.  3 players have already advanced into Round 5, I will post them after the pairings..  I hope I get the colors right for the first game, it looks like on the official page which players are due white.  We shall see if I end up editing tomorrow :)

Round 4 Rapid Tiebreak Game 1 of possible 4 games at 25 mins +10 sec. inc. if still tied after these games, then follows a series of Blitz games, a Match of 2 Games at 5 mins +3 sec. inc. (Max. of 10 games) if after 2 games of standard chess, 4 games of rapid chess and 10 games of blitz chess, THEN it comes down to.....
Armageddon! Players draw lots for an important decision, whether to take White with 5 minutes and HAVE to win the game OR take black with 4 minutes on the clock and HOLD A DRAW with the time handicap to win the Armageddon game, there's only 1 game, so far it hasn't come to that in any of the rounds yet.

Round 4 Rapid Game 1

  • 1.0-1.0 17. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave 2718 (FRA) * 1. Boris Gelfand 2758 (ISR)
  • 1.0-1.0 8. Alexander Grischuk 2736 (RUS) * 9. Dmitry Jakovenko 2736 (RUS)
  • 1.0-1.0 2. Vugar Gashimov 2758 (AZE) * 50. Fabiano Caruana 2652 (ITA)
  • 1.0-1.0 23. Etienne Bacrot 2700 (FRA) * 7. Ruslan Ponomariov 2739 (UKR)
  • 1.0-1.0 59. Wesley So 2640 (PHI) * 22. Vladimir Malakhov 2706 (RUS)
Those who have already advanced to round 5:
 
3. Peter Svidler 2754 (RUS)
12 Sergey Karjakin 2723 (UKR)
13. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov 2719 (AZE)

The lowest seeds still hanging in there are 59. Wesley So, 50. Fabiano Caruana and seeds 1 and 2 are still at risk of getting upset, seed 1 being Boris Gelfand 2758 and 2 Vugar Gashimov 2758 as well, it seems they weren't picked alphabetically but seeds 8 & 9 both rated 2736, Alexander Grischuk and Dmitry Jakovenko are seeded alphabetically.  Who knows, FIDE works in mysterious ways ;-)

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.

Not much to say, a disabled dude who blogs when he can for fun and some spare change, really that's what it's been so far, spare change! But that's life, doing this helps it go by a little less painful by keeping my mind occupied. A tumbleweed would do that at this point :P Have fun and Take Each Day as a Gift!
