Sofia please!
A most disappointing last rond of the Tal Memorial today: all games ended in a quick draw. I can understand that some players were looking forward to the end of the tournament, but all of them?! And what about those rest days? A comment on Chess Ninja: "What a joke!!! The last round was a snore-fest. I could hibernate for three months, wake up, take a look at round nine, and fall right back to sleep!" Hopefully the organizers (and with them other big tournaments) will conclude that the Sofia rules must be applied more often. At least for final rounds. For everyone who goes crazy with quick peace agreements, here the games.
