COCORICO MVL

Sinquefield 2017, biggest prized tornament, highest ELO

            1st  MVL !  FRANCE / EU

FRANCE is BACK ! bye So, Naka, Caruana, beware Magnus!!

MVL ELO : 2nd !!! next challenger for the WCC 2018+.

funny : not tooo many files on that Sinquefield, i wonder why.

                                                           MVL 2nd player in the world ELO FIDE > = 2804!

he started with low opponents 2400 2600  2565 ... then Grischuk 2788 ! a very nice increase to get warmer till ...the final (SO 2792).   

tomorrow the 2nd game, he'll get white against ARONIAN!!  (1/2 1/2 today easy for MVL blacks, Grûnfeld and not Sicilian Najdorf he is the master of, he will use thsi defense in the final i guess)

Aronian 2803 is a very serious "customer" , which can pretend to be the 1st too.

Like SO., with the outsider ding Liren 2740, who is each year better in the, sooner or later, 1st country for chess: China, (WC teams 2015 1st ; who was the first chess board ? Mr Ding Liren) so many good players there, and ...charming too HOU YIFAN? best woman in chess playing ony with men to show how strong she is, no one beside her among the women since Judith Polgar's retired  ! a come back ?

Other table : So Ding liren 1/2 1/2 after a fantastic game, chances for SO (note SF 1.xx )........only for SFish

generally, even if u get a +3,  from SF, it doesn't mean u find the  good line to win ! ask Giri! .

FINAL :                                   SO - MVL ?!?  culd be really fascinating.

for each one, there is a fantastic opportunity :

The old guard :   Anand, Caruana,Giri, Kramnik, Karjakin, Mamedyarov 2797!, Nakamura, Grischuk, Ivanchuk, Gelfand, Svidler , Wei , Yu,  ....Carlsen all out (2750+!)! Only Aronian is at his place, and MVL explodes this year! 

MVL - ARONIAN   19 moves,draw! (nb no other sport of that kind of "fight" at that level 1/2 final!);

                                                          960 !

DING LIREN SO : almost a knock out at the 37th move for Ding! fascinating aggressive since a couple of tours! i wish the WC master will one of these two "warriors", more crativity and fighting spirit !
