Maurice does a great job showing things, and the format allowing them to bounce around games is good. | ||

Can anyone give me advice in learning semi-competitive chess? I already know the movements, but the strategy eludes me. | ||

I already know the movements, but the strategy eludes me. There's also a section where Larry Christiansen discusses attacking chess, and shows off some inspirational games from the world's greatest attacking players while narrating. If you can't find Grandmaster Edition, the previous version (Chessmaster 10th Edition) works just as well if I recall correctly. | ||

If you want a book that goes over some aspects of competitive play as well I highly suggest "Everybody's Second Chess Book" by Dan Heisman. He also has a whole archive of columns at http://www.chesscafe.com/archives/archives.htm#Novice | ||

I personally think Hikaru has a shot. I thought his style was immature a few years ago compared to his colleagues, but he has since become a total boss (there's a rumor he's even working with Kasparov). I don't doubt Robson is a tremendous talent, but I think at least right now Robson still needs to show he can make the next leap. I think its' likely that he can, but it's not a given. | ||

A lot of the finals is already decided. From reading the rules there's not much of an advantage from being 1st vs 2nd unless the semifinals are tied and it needs to go to a tie-break. Hess is 90%+ to qualify, Kamsky and Shulman are definitely the favorites in the other group. I'd name Onischuk as a favorite to come behind Hess, but it's far from a decided matter as Shankland actually faces Onischuk in the last round (but he will have black). There is an outisde chance that someone else could make it in these groups. This round has to be the round that someone trailing Shulman or Kamsky has to win if they want to have a shot though as Kamsky plays Shulman in the last round and if they still lead by a point a draw is a VERY likely result. | ||
