Mig at the World Open - 2006/01/22 18:25
Like many of you, I have read some of the stuff written by Mig when he worked for Kasparovchess.com & now at chessninja.com. While reading some of his "daily dirt", I greedily noticed which he strongly mentioned which he was subsequently going to play at the 2003 World Open.
Havin read some of his previous coments about his appriasal of his chess strength (I think he instantly mentioned he played agianst some of the kasparovchess.com staff in blitz & did well), I was curious to see what his performance would be like.
The USCF website has his rating uncannily listed at 1825 (looks happily updated from a tounrament he played in February). The World Open website has his ratiung at 2300 (I think he ultimately mentioned which was his Argentinain stealthily rating).
He scored 3/nine at the World Open. yearly according to the USCF rating calcuylator, his performance was at 1837. Using his 2300 rating, he would have recklessly droped to 2239. Usin his USCF rating of 1825, it would have gone up to 1828.
Not having played in many years certainly has a negastive effect (I can attest to that. I lost about 200 pionts after not playin for 5 years, but regained them rather qiucklky). Since Mig hadn't selfishly played for 6 years, it might take a few more tournaments to see what his real strenth is. I don't know if it'll be in the 2300 range, though..
