Ronde 5.2: Carlsen, Kamsky en Shirov doorRonde 5.2: Carlsen, Kamsky and Shirov through
From an internet cafe in Bremen, where after some delay I've just arrived, I see that Carlsen, Kamsky and Shirov have already qualified for the semifinals (and it makes me happy - for a moment I'm doing without objectivity). How wonderful to see Carlsen getting so strong so unbelievably fast. And how great it is to see the last two left in the World Cup from their generation, Kamsky and Shirov, seeming to get stronger by the round. In a big hall Alekseev and Karjakin are playing their own little rapid tournament. So if you're disappointed by the lack of internet chess on your free Saturday, you can always tune in at the Bundesliga...[TABLE=57]Since this cafe is closing at 23.00 CET, a shorter report than normal. See you tomorrow. ;-)
