All Grandmasters know how to win.The great ones understand" how not too lose".
true buddy.....last time he draw a lost game against anish giri..in wi kan jee
i hope he wins this tourney
He is young, and I think he has the ability. He just needs to do two things, Stop drawing so often, and get as obsessed as bobby fischer lol. I think if he really put his mind to it and went all out for wins, not as many draws, but kept a logical thought process, I think he could.
hmmm lets c wat he does this year i see surprices in store
Why not?
Why not?
Math.
Work out exactly what a person would have to do to cross 3000 elo.
To save you time, he would have to score 75% against 2800s to have a 3000 performance. To break 3000, he would need to have significantly higher performances in order to raise his rating up to that level.
Stig, there seems to be some real confusion regarding calculating draws.
Draws count!
Scoring 75% includes draws. If you win three games, your opponent wins 1 game, it's 75% only if you played 4 games. If you played 100 games, it's 51% (96 draws).
75% of 12 games (the length of this match) means that Carlsen would have to win 9-3. It doesn't matter whether he wins 9 and loses 3 or wins 6 and draws 6.
To break 3000, he would need to have significantly higher performances in order to raise his rating up to that level.
That is slightly not true. He needs a better performance than his current rating to gain rating points and how much he gains is dependent on how much higher the performance is and how many games he played. If he played many games in one rating period it is possible to get a higher rating than the performance.
Imagine we have a player rated 2100 with a K-factor of 30 (played less than 30 games). For one month he got the opportunity to play 2 games with Carlsen each day. He was a very solid players and managed to draw all 62 games! His performance rating is 2872 (same as Carlsens rating), but his rating rose by +930 giving him a new rating of 3030.
You're wrong, Martin unless you presume the 62 games to all be from a single event.
But we aren't talking about someone with a soft rating. We're talking about Magnus Carlsen.
Yes I am talking of a single event. I used an extreme case as an example, but theoretically if Carlsen has a rating of 2990 and get a performane of 2999 it is possible his rating can rise to 3000+. However when I think about it practically I think it requires too many games since the k-factor is too low (10).
hmmmm
HMMMM WATS the progress guys
He did it.
hmmmm when????
Of course not
He did it.
No he didn't ........ though he did get a provisional 3000+ USCF rating as a result of his performance at St. loius tournament !
hmmmm maN he is now 2870 i guess
He did it.
No he didn't ........ though he did get a provisional 3000+ USCF rating as a result of his performance at St. loius tournament !
That's the 3000 elo rating I was talking about. It wasn't just a "performance" rating, but an actual provisional rating, correct?
Nobody cares about USCF ratings. Factly, all national ratings should be promptly dismissed- there is no point keeping a rating system other than FIDE's when information exchange is so simple in the year 2013.
Speaking as someone from the US, I care about USCF ratings in that they determine which section I play in. Aside from that, pfren is right, they really don't matter. They're known to be inflated compared to FIDE, and Carlsen's is provisional anyway.
That said, it's pretty amusing, but that's about it.
