SB over Honor points?

Post by william »

I just received Danny oliphants newsletter SDA.

I was Surprised to find that I actually finished on 4th position , ahead of Mustafa , Durdyeva ( and same token for example for Kalin oleksandr who goes to 17th place instead of 18th !! ) .

The wmsg webpage actually gives the Honor points priority to SB which is contrdicting the rules laid down before ty in Beijing which stated 1st results of pairing ; 2nd SB ; 3rd honor ; 4th blitz play off

I did not check other tied opponent results , if anyone is interested they can cross check

Thank you danny for the correction

Hi, William !

I also was confused with this. Several Russian talking only players asked me to explain them the system of honor points and were very surprised and disappointed, when I said that I don't understand it either !

The most unfortunate fact is - if you had won one game in Beijing from 5 of your missings, i would play my world title match in Paris :D When I realized during our game in last round that I have all chances to lose it and you may finish 2nd and win a challenger rights, my adrenalin jumped up significantly ! In this case to the rest of my life i would be in position trying to explain what happened ... and noone trust me !

Regards,

Lucky Alex

:bounce:

That would have been nice to have the match in Paris ; but as long as I am missing 5 wins out of 18 games , means that I am not ready , and probably do not deserve yet the right to challenge you . :blackeye:

The time will come , but the effort will have to be tremendous

I hope that the SDA cross table will make a lot of Russian speaking players happier.

YOUR MODEL IS NICE , BUT I DONT HAVE PLUS600 , I WILL BE USING THE DIAGRAM BUILDER THAT I USE HERE IF YOU DONT SEE ANY INCONVENIENCE ? IS THAT OK?

Greetings William
