He's about a 1200 when it comes to picking shirts...yeesh.

[TheBouzoukiMan]

why does ivanov have less time then shulman

[TheMillwallbill]

The guy in the background shouldn`t wear that orange t-shirt. it makes him look fat.

@TheBouzoukiMan He has less time because in an Armageddon Blitz Play-off match white gets the advantage of having more time, however, black has drawing odds which means that if the game comes to a draw; black will win by default.

Now I see why they make this game for "smart" people. These guys like think 3 moves ahead. It takes me like 10 seconds to make a move

[Belsatzar1]

You wrong, white has more time from the beginning and there is no time added after each move. It`s play-off, it means that white has more time but HAS to win the game, for black it`s enough to draw this game to win the match..

@the bouzoukiman They are playing with increment...every time you push the button you get some seconds (probably 2 or 5, but I am not sure). In the first moves white was playing very quickly, so he gained that advantage. It seems to me that Ivanov was taking too much time, because sometimes its hard to switch instantly from regular chess (i.e. 2 hours for 40 moves) to blitz playing mode.
