The top players often play this kind of solid style, avoiding much risk while trying to capitalize on their opponents' missteps. Many times this...
I don't know who will be doing the strangling. Carlsen isn't an aggressive, swashbuckling player himself. He likes to play for small, riskless...
No wonder he did so well - he had a silicon beast!
Based on their ratings, recent performance, and head-to-head score, Karjakin will have his work cut out for him. But this is a match, and...
I had a chance (and foolishly declined) to play Kasparov at his prime in a five-game clock simul. Against Kasparov then or Carlsen now, I would...
That was too easy for Carlsen. Why give him white for all the games? That is typical for a simul, but given the strength of his opponents, it...
USA wins Gold! Ukraine gets Silver, and Russia gets Bronze. They all won in the last round, but US beat Ukraine on tiebreaks. On the women...
I don't think so. Both US and Ukraine must lose in the last round before Russia has a chance to win on tie-breaks, and this scenario is unlikely....
It's sort of on the official site - they just haven't changed the links yet. http://chess-results.com/tnr232875.aspx?lan=1&art=2&rd=11&flag=30&wi=821
It's down to the wire - a two horse race for gold between USA and Ukraine. Final round pairings: USA - Canada (!) I didn't realize Bareev was...
Okay. I don't think Caruana fears Carlsen, and I think it's a good matchup.
Why do you want So to play Carlsen? I think Caruana vs Carlsen is fine.
The result was somewhat expected. I actually gave the edge to Russia because of the big ratings difference on the fourth board - Grischuk being...
I enjoyed being on a chess team way back when. It gave a sense of camaraderie in an otherwise, individual competition. Or we could have a...
Well, US adopted (lured) two powerful players since the last Olympiad. Their top three players are currently in the top ten of FIDE's ratings...
Are you trading with portfolio margin on IB?
When I put on a simulated position, it shows the margin requirement as such. Again, I have portfolio margin, and it looks at +/- % distance from...
With portfolio margin in ToS, a long SPX fly 2050/2025/1990 has a margin requirement (excluding initial premium) of $1,000, as it should be.
11, 13, 3! or 11, 13, 9 (rotate image 180 degrees) :)
On the other hand, with later stocks you have some more guide as to what to expect. I use this in conjunction with charts and previous...
