Only a short look at the latest tournamentresults of the GM´s that had participated. ><tt><pcode>It Biel SUI 2004 > 1 2 3 4 5 6 >1 Morozevich,A 2743 +136 ** ½1 ½ ½1 11 1½ 7.0/9 >2 Sasikiran,K 2666 +100 ½0 ** 01 11 ½½ 1 5.5/9 >3 Ponomariov,R 2722 -96 ½ 10 ** ½0 ½1 0½ 4.0/9 18.25 >4 Pelletier,Y 2597 +59 ½0 00 ½1 ** ½ 1½ 4.0/9 15.25 >5 Bacrot,E 2712 -67 00 ½½ ½0 ½ ** 11 4.0/9 14.50 >6 McShane,L 2643 -118 0½ 0 1½ 0½ 00 ** 2.5/9 >Average elo: 2680 <=> Category: 18 >gm = 4.00 m = 2.00 </pcode></tt> Ponomarjovs only tournament in the last year. It looks like he is a little bit overrated at the moment. No wonder,without any tournamentpraxis. The kid latest tournament with tournamentgames was the cc of the Ukraine. It lost the first round 0,5: 1.5 and was out of the tournament. It plays typicall for a child not stable in Bilbao. A easy win against DeepJunior and a good game in the last round against Fritz with a lot of luck for the program, and two really weak games for a GM. Topalov was strong enough two dominate 3 of 4 games against the computers and played the game against Fritz as a result of his disapointing 50% too wild and lost of course. He would do better in match with more games. Just some thoughts of someone who knows the scene of human chessprofessionals a little better as the charming Chrilly.
