The game is now in >java and pgn format on the FIDE website. According to the July 1 99 rating list, Nisipeanu isn't in the top 100 at 2584. The #100 player is rated 2589. Khalifman at 2628 is #45 and Akopian at 2646 is #36. At club kaspy they have a different rating system.There,Nisipeanu is #195 at 2520.Khalifman is #36 at 2615 and Akopian is #30 at 2616. What a FIGHTER,the position looked like a draw,but he would not be denied.He kept scratching,clawing and waiting for Khalifman to make a mistake. Great come back!! Kaspy called these Players Tourist at his site,Well, LONG LIVE THE TOURIST!!!
