Bolt 400m Rio?
http://www.iol.co.za/sport/athletics/bo ... DWwbIl5mc0
It's on the front page so I thought I'd rehash this here as well. Bolt running the 400m dash in Rio? While I'm going to say Bolt in the 400m is not as preposterous as Jeremy Wariner in the 800, I'm still going to go ahead and say its absolutely preposterous.
Yea he has a very solid 400m background, yea he doesn't train for it, yea he only runs it early in the season blah blah blah. Still, if Bolt was a 43 mid/low type runner, I feel like we would have seen more by now. There were many reasons why he should have not run 9.7 at the Jamaican Inite back in 08, but if given the opportunity, talent will show and prove.
I seriously don't think Bolt could smack the likes of James, Merritt, or a Borlee in a Semifinal.
Combine that with the amount of PAIN PAIN PAIN involved with running the 1 lap, we will never see him do it
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Bolt has repeatedly said that he has no interest in running the 400.
He has said that he wants to repeat the 100/200m double in Rio. No story here.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
The title of the story, "Bolt eyes 400, LJ" is incorrect.
Read the article. His coach want him to run the 400, not Bolt himself.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Bolt is the best on 100m, is tall, so would be perfect for the pole vault!
Yes, he has a lot of technique to learn, and as pole vault involves risks, I do not think he will give it a try.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
a crazy thing for bolt to do : the decathlon.
that is a fun speculation, no?
the argument that bolt can't or won't run the 400m is crushed here right now... read on.
i think that since bolt has returned to his near peak self, he'll milk it.
meaning that he'll use this year's results as momentum for next year, and if all goes very well, try and take records to sub 9.5 and 19.0.
if it appears that he's not going to improve further, he'll give the 400 a go. now if the training goes well and there are no injuries, he'll want to go 44 low at home before he'd take on a james.
for the long jump, to me it seems like an accident waiting to happen...
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I think there will be a lot of speculation, but in the end, Bolt will stick to the 100-200 double....
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
the betting man should go with your analysis.
bolt however will ditch the double if he knows he won't win.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I think he will indeed try dabbling with the 400 in the next couple of years, but realize that the commitment exceeds his desire to extend his empire further and end up ONLY in the 100, leaving the 200 for Blake.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Let's just say that the Bolt camp has mastered the art of staying in the headlines.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I was wondering what this 400, LJ nonsense was about, and yes that explains it.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
This was exactly my thought too.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Prediction: Bolt will "flirt" with some 400s in 2014, a non-championship year! (If you consider the CWG's "non-champs"!)
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
if bolt agreed to race kirani james in one of the remaining big meets (zurich they have the money to make the matchup reality) bolt would beat james and if he does not break it he will be very close to michael johnsons record.
i am talking about NOW, if bolt trained for the 400 specifically he would regularly run sub 43.
bolt is a ridiculous off the charts talent, kirani james is incredibly talented but not as much as bolt.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
He may or may not do it, but for me there are three unfinished business in the sprints:
(1) Win another world title at 100m
(2) Press the dial to 9.4 in the 100m
(3) Enter the realms of impossibilty with a sub 19 in the 200m
Do those then he can ride off in the sunset and start a family, hence getting some Bolt specimens off and running. Literally!
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I am with GH (and others) on this one!! I am pretty sure I read the same headline after Beijing or Berlin! Ie Bolt would run 400m in London and like to try the LJ
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
From what I heard Michael Johnson say on BBC during the Olympics, Bolt already "realizes" that he doesn't have the commitment. Johnson said Bolt told him flat out, that he "doesn't like to work that hard." Therefore no focus on the 400 for Bolt, according to Johnson.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
He won't be keen on any event where you start on the finish line and have to run the long way round to get back.
And why would he? I was a 400 m runner and was relieved when I finally 'retired'.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
"To do the three [sprints], that is the focus. I don't want to try any different events at Rio," he said. "I will just defend my titles to show the world there's a possibility I can do it again."
That should hopefully end any speculation that Bolt will try either the 400m or the long jump in the lead-up to Rio....
He seems to have the plan to defend his 100-200-sprint relay titles, and it remains to be seen if he gives up one or the other as Blake gets better.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Now that it's clear that Bolt will stick to the 100/200 (tho I agree with a poster above that by 2016 Blake may well be the favorite). BUT, here's to say that Bolt COULD win the 400 if he WANTED to, but, of course, he does NOT want to, so that's the end of that (not unlike the Wariner analogy).
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I'm a bit disappointed that he's not going to do the 400 seriously. I can understand his decision. The 400 is painful, and the long jump is risky. And he's very successful at what he's been doing. Why change?
There's also the "legend" issue. He uses that word all the time. I suspect he thinks that he will be more legendary if he wind the Olympic 100 and 200 for the third straight time than if he changes events and wins the 400, regardless of what else he also wins. And I think he may be right.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Perhaps to the layman. I would, for one, be MORE impressed with a 400 Gold in Rio.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Surprise! We don't agree again, Marlow. I don't consider myself a layman and I think the triple in Rio would be more awe-inspiring than a single 400m. In fact, if Tyson Gay said that he was going for the 400m in Rio, I would immediately make him my favorite for gold; I just don't think a 100m sprinter moving up is that big of a deal. And, when you make him the 200m WR holder, it becomes even less impressive to me.
But, the real reason I hope that Bolt never runs the 400m is that any performance above 42.50 would be a complete disappointment to me. And, he's just not trying to be THAT kind of legend; not at 400m.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I just can't see UB doing the 400. And the LJ even less. How many great 100 meter runners ever moved up to the 400? Or into the LJ? And I doubt he would break the WR in either one. And yes winning the 100,200 3 straight would be something.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I think it's also important to remember that Bolt suffers from scoliosis, which I believe is curvature of the spine. As a result, he tends to be injury prone, something that affected him when he was being coached in the 400m by Junior Bennett. That was one of the reasons he preferred to switch to Glen Mills....
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
There's a story in the front page headline section (scroll down) that suggests that Bert Cameron's departure from the Racers Club and Glen Mills's taking over the 400 coaching for the club may relate to Bolt's plans to run the 400. The article said it was unclear what was cause and what was effect.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
But aren't you dying for Bolt to nuke the 400 record down into the 42s?
A win in the 400 is New Territory. The 100/200 double is common; excelling ALSO in the 400 is not.
Yes, another 100/200 double would be epic, but yes, I'd much rather see a 400 Gold out of him, because I really do think he's got a 42 in him (with proper motivation).
He'd be a Legend either way, but I want it with the versatility that the 400 would confer upon him. (I really don't think he could LJ 29' even if he really wanted to).
[Regardless - I do see your point and can't refute it.]
P.S. If he did the 400, I'm sure it would still be part of a Triple (Gold): 400, 4x1, 4x4.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Yep, if Bolt wants to secure his legend as sprint GOAT, he needs to act 400 WR to his resume.
Then he can concentrate on the LJ where, I believe, he has the tools to go 29.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
I'll be REALLY disappointed of he doesn't give another event a go. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to see your potential in a range of events.
Next year would be the perfect time and then if it doesn't go well back to sprints for 15/16
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
Even though we would love to see Bolt DESTROY the 400m record his body makes it a great risk. Bolt felt in pain enough (or the strain at least) doing the 200m in London and wasn't willing to do a WR run which he stated he could have. The 400m could leave Bolt at a high risk of serious injuries and could ruin his further WR potential in all of the Sprints.
On the other hand why not let Yohan Blake go for it. In RIo a 29 Year old Bolt (injury pending) would still be in his peak period. I'd think it would be Bolt Gold and Blake Silver again. If Blake wants Gold the 400m might be a better bet for him if he could run it.
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
He doesn't 'look' it (to me), but who knows?!
Re: Bolt 400m Rio?
upon reflection,
bolt will run the 100 and 200 for the next couple of years.
it is about money, sponsors and ease of success, plus bolt's baby is the 200.
if he's getting beat regularly in the 100 two years from now, he'll look at the 200 400 double.
if that is possible with the OG schedule. the training for the 400 will allow a 9.5 man to do this. and he'll run the relay/s.
it all works for the GOAT.

Leftover Salmon Salad with Yogurt and Dill
(Makes 1 full-meal salad or 2 side dish salads, recipe can be doubled or quadrupled if you have enough salmon. Recipe created by Kalyn, with the inspiring recipes featured below.)
6-8 oz. leftover cooked salmon (you could also use one can of salmon, although of course fresh cooked salmon is best)
1 cup celery, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/4 cup sliced green onion
2 T chopped fresh dill
Dressing Ingredients:
2 T fat free Greek yogurt (I used Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt)
2 T mayo or light mayo (do not use fat free)
2-3 tsp. fresh lemon juice (I used 3 tsp., but I like sour flavors)
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. Vege-sal (or use slightly less regular salt)
Gently break apart cooked salmon filet with a fork and place in plastic or glass bowl. Add sliced celery, sliced green onions, and finely chopped dill and gently combine.
Mix together dressing ingredients in smaller bowl, then gently fold into salad, being careful not to over-mix. Salad should be chunky. Chill 30 minutes or up to a few hours. Serve slightly cold. This would probably keep overnight in the fridge, but it won't last that long.

UF women fall short at Texas A&M
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 11:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 11:57 p.m.
Junior Lily Svete nailed five three-pointers and led a furious late rally that fell short and the University of Florida women's basketball team dropped a 78-71 decision at No. 11/13 Texas A&M at Reed Arena on Thursday evening.
Trailing by 21 points with 11:10 remaining, the Gators outscored the Aggies 38-24 the rest of the way, closing to within four points with 27 seconds remaining and again with 19 ticks on the clock, but couldn't quite close out the comeback and had their two-game win streak come to an end.
"We showed some tremendous fight, in particular from Jaterra (Bonds) and some of our younger players," UF head coach Amanda Butler said. "I thought they would never give up and I'm very proud of that, but it's not excusable. The mistakes that we made and our post defense was something we worked very hard on for two days and we didn't carry it over to the game. That's tough to stomach. It was a great fight and we put ourselves in position at the end and, again, it was just a mental miscue. We gave up a huge turnover right there and put them back at the free throw line. It took us out of an opportunity to do anything."
Svete's 15 points, all in the second half, tied a career-high for the Indiana native and was her fifth double-figure scoring game of the season. Junior Jaterra Bonds led all Gator scorers with 17 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the field, while she tied a career-high with eight assists. January Miller added 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting for the Gators (15-10, 4-7 SEC).
"It was huge for us, definitely a difference maker," Butler said of the Gator's outside shooting. "Obviously, the three-point shot can bridge a gap very quickly. Lily has been shooting the ball confidently and Carlie (Needles) as well. They both shot the ball great. I'm really proud of the way we played behind the three-point line. That was not our problem. How we played in the paint was our problem."
Aggie (20-5, 10-1 SEC) center Kelsey Bone led all scorers with 31 points and 10 rebounds and forward Kristi Bellock added 19 points and eight rebounds.
"We just need to go back and look at our starting lineup," Butler continued. "Jennifer (George) didn't give us very much tonight. She took 14 shots tonight and only scored six points and had four turnovers. Maybe we need to mix things up again. We just need to go back to work and regroup and come back out with more fire from the start because we had a tough first half to try and overcome."
McDonald's All-American High School Game: University of Florida women's basketball signee Ronni Williams was named the 2013 McDonald's All-American High School Game that will be played on April 3 at the United Center in Chicago.
The game, which will be televised live on ESPNU, features the nation's top 24 high school girls' players.
Williams is the first-ever Gator signee to make the prestigious All-American team.
Last week Williams, a 6-2 forward from Daytona Beach, became the first Gator signee ever selected for the WBCA High School All-America Game, which began playing on April 17, 1992.
The top-ranked basketball recruiting prospect in the state of Florida, Williams is a three-time Daytona Beach News-Journal Player of the Year selection and ranked as the No. 13 best player in the country on ESPN's Class of 2013 national recruiting list. Williams also was recognized by ESPN HoopGurlz Super 60 rankings as the second-best wing-position player in the 2013 recruiting class.
Williams topped the 2,000-point plateau for her prep career on "Senior Day" and led Atlantic High School to the District 7-4A championship on February 2 with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Through that game, Williams is averaging 19.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 3.0 assists and 3.0 blocks per game during her senior season. Her individual game high this year was a 38-point, 17 rebound performance in a win against New Smyrna Beach on Jan. 24.

Atlas of Empires
published on 02 September 2009
An empire is a political construct in which one state dominates over another state, or a series of states. At its heart, an empire is ruled by an emperor, even though many states in history without an emperor at their head are called "empires".

The Roman Empire, at its height (c. 117 CE), was the most extensive political and social structure in western civilization. By 285 CE the empire had grown too vast to be ruled from the central government at Rome and so was divided by the emperor Diocletian into a Western and an Eastern Empire.

We've Moved!
After ten wonderful years in Montana, we moved our operations during the spring and summer of 2010 to a new and equally beautiful 120-acre property in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire. You can read about why we relocated on our blog here.
Once we got settled, we changed the name to Rolling Dog Farm – it seemed a much better fit for New England, and everyone here calls us a farm anyway!
With the physical move, we also chose to move our website from RollingDogRanch.org to RollingDogFarm.org.

Engine Mounts
What is an Engine Mount and where is it Located?
Engine mounts, also commonly referred to as motor mounts, along with transmission mounts are responsible for holding the car or truck's engine and transmission firmly in place to the frame of the vehicle at all times. They also serve to dampen vibration from the engine to increase the ride comfort. Location and quantity vary by vehicle, but you will typically find them attached to heavy duty supports, like the vehicle's frame or the radiator support.
Most motors mounts are usually made of metal and a rubber insert, save for a few fancy exceptions that incorporate a hydraulic fluid. The metal component of the motor mount attaches to the engine at one end and typically to the heavy duty support – such as the vehicle's frame - at the other, securing it in place even as you slam your foot on the accelerator. The piece of rubber is located in-between the conjoined metal parts and acts as a buffer, absorbing the vibrations that are given off by the engine when the vehicle is in operation so that it doesn't move and shake all over the place uncontrollably.
Engine Mount Failure
Engine mounts typically fail because the rubber section has separated from the metal sections. This can be due to excessive vibration from the engine, chemical contamination from under hood leaks, or drastic change in temperature. On vehicles that use hydraulic-filled mounts, loss of this fluid can cause the mount to collapse. When the mounts fail, the engine vibration will be noticeably greater visually and felt more in the cabin. This can begin to wear out or even seriously damage parts of the engine or other systems if it gets bad enough.
The stability that motor mounts provide for the car or truck's engine allows the vehicle to function properly. Without them to restrain the powerful engine, the resulting thrust from it would cause unmentionable havoc and damage to parts and connections as it shifted and bucked violently in its compartment like a wild bull. Therefore, properly working motor mounts are essential for your engine as just having one faulty mount can cause a lot of trouble for your vehicle. If you need a replacement motor mount for your vehicle, you should get one and install it as soon as possible.
Replacing a Motor Mount
Replacing motor mounts varies in difficulty. On upper mounts, removal typically requires basic tools and just requires unbolting to swap out. Lower mounts are a bit more complicated and can require an engine hoist. Since all of the engine weight is placed on them, the engine will need to be lifted and supported in order to safely remove and install.
Need a Motor Mount Replacement?
Motor mounts provide a stable and secure hold on your engine and minimize engine vibration and movement. When they wear out, your engine can shake violently and cause a lot of damage if it gets really bad. Therefore, if you need a motor mount replacement, you should obtain and install the part(s) you need as soon as possible.
If you are in need of a replacement engine mount, then you have come to the right place. Here at 1A Auto, we have a large selection of aftermarket motor mounts, including both front and rear, as well as upper and lower mounts, for many makes and models, and at great prices. Our aftermarket engine mounts are just what you need to keep your motor firm in place!
Shopping for a replacement engine mount for your car, truck, SUV or van is also incredibly easy at 1A Auto - we're here to help you select the right parts for your vehicle! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about the product, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online.
Welcome to 1A Auto....
We employ USA based, knowledgeable support technicians. They'll help you through your project. We always make sure you get the right part. And we boast the industry's most generous returns policy. You won't find a company more passionate about auto parts than 1A Auto.

MSTC Involvement
MSTC Career Development offers a variety of opportunities to meet your recruiting needs, whether you are interested in recruiting full-time employees, finding a part-time intern during the school year, or just getting started at the McCombs School of Business.
Opportunities are available through networking nights, event/program sponsorship, career fairs, company site-visits, classroom presentations, and by participating in SXSW or Austin Startup Week.
Please see below to find out more about some of the options. For any questions about pairing with the MSTC program for recruiting, please contact our Career Development Specialist, Scott Good.
At MSTC Networking Nights, you'll have the opportunity to talk with current MSTC students about full-time job opportunities or part-time internships in your organization.
We have both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in our one-of-a-kind program, so whether your business is big or small, you can find the candidate that is right for you.
These casual events allow you to make meaningful connections with upcoming graduates, learn more about their unique skill-set, and what they can bring to your company. Students will be anxious to speak with you about potential opportunities in product management, product development, consulting, research & development, mergers & acquisitions, or other areas of interest.
We are currently searching for a date and location for our next event. For information or to become a sponsor, please contact Scott Good.
Many MSTC students welcome the opportunity to intern and work 10 to 30 hours a week, or on a project basis. In the past, companies hired students as interns for technology assessments, R&D assistance, and project management. They can also assist with business plans, production planning, and contracts. They are part of a one-year program, so they take on internships while attending class on the weekends, but they aren't eligible for traditional summer internships.
Texas MSTC students are carefully selected, bright, and they're an excellent value opportunity. Please contact the MSTC Director of Career Development, Scott Good, for more information.
We are currently looking for Austin tech companies--of any size--to host MSTC students for an Austin Tech Company Crawl. A portion of our students would visit your offices to learn more about your company culture, what types of jobs they would be eligible for, and make connections with your employees. We'll be scheduling a date for our inaugural trip soon.
If you would like to learn more, please contact our MSTC Director of Career Development, Scott Good.
Distinguished speakers visit the MSTC class each month and speak to the class on various topics including patent protection, how to launch a venture, technology transfer, and more. If you'd like to be considered as a speaker for an upcoming MSTC class, please contact MSTC Program Manager Amanda Zimmerman.
MSTC participates in SXSW each year in order to make connections with potential employers and prospective students. We have a booth at the Interactive trade show, and we have students, faculty and staff in other areas of Interactive.
If you'd like more information about how you can get involved with us, please contact our MSTC Director of Career Development, Scott Good.
The Undergraduate Career Expo (held each fall and spring) provides opportunities for employers to recruit McCombs School of Business students. The expos are open to all current McCombs School of Business students in the BBA, MPA, MSF, MBA, and MSTC programs. Though this event focuses on entry-level positions, a small percentage of MSTC students are looking for these types of roles and will be present.
The Career Expos are hosted by the Undergraduate Career Committee and BBA Career Services. For questions or more information, please contact Rachel Rucker in BBA Career Services.
We encourage corporations to send teams of 4-5 employees to the Texas MSTC Program so that they can take advantage of the skills gained through the MSTC Program. If you are interested in arranging a meeting to discuss a possible relationship with the Texas MSTC Program, please email email@example.com. If possible, we can travel to your offices and present to any employees who may be interested in enrolling in the program.

Magnus Carlsen steps out of World Championship cycle
By declining to play in the 2011 Candidates matches, Magnus Carlsen has decided to step out of the current World Championship cycle. In a letter to FIDE Carlsen expresses his dissatisfaction with the current cycle, like "reigning champion privileges, the long (five year) span of the cycle and changes made during the cycle resulting in a new format (Candidates) that no World Champion has had to go through since Kasparov." Poll added.
The following letter, signed by Magnus Carlsen, dated November 4th, was sent to FIDE. We received a copy from Carlsen's manager Espen Agdestein.
To: FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov & FIDE World Championship Committee. Reference is made to the ongoing World Championship cycle. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of my decision not to take part in the planned Candidate Matches between March and May 2011. After careful consideration I've reached the conclusion that the ongoing 2008 – 2012 cycle does not represent a system, sufficiently modern and fair, to provide the motivation I need to go through a lengthy process of preparations and matches and, to perform at my best. Reigning champion privileges, the long (5 yr) span of the cycle, changes made during the cycle resulting in a new format (Candidates) that no World Champion has had to go through since Kasparov, puzzling ranking criteria as well as the shallow ceaseless match-after-match concept are all less than satisfactory in my opinion. By providing you with 4 months notice before the earliest start of the Candidates as well as in time before you have presented player contracts or detailed regulations, I rest assured that you will be able to find an appropriate replacement. Although the purpose of this letter is not to influence you to make further changes to the ongoing cycle, I would like to take the opportunity to present a few ideas about future cycles in line with our input to FIDE during the December 27th 2008 phone-conference between FIDE leaders and a group of top-level players. In my opinion privileges should in general be abolished and a future World Championship model should be based on a fair fight between the best players in the World, on equal terms. This should apply also to the winner of the previous World Championship, and especially so when there are several players at approximately the same level in the world elite. (Why should one player have one out of two tickets to the final to the detriment of all remaining players in the world? Imagine that the winner of the 2010 Football World Cup would be directly qualified to the 2014 World Cup final while all the rest of the teams would have to fight for the other spot.) One possibility for future cycles would be to stage an 8-10 player World Championship tournament similar to the 2005 and 2007 events. The proposal to abolish the privileges of the World Champion in the future is not in any way meant as criticism of, or an attack on, the reigning World Champion Viswanathan Anand, who is a worthy World Champion, a role model chess colleague and a highly esteemed opponent. Rest assured that I am still motivated to play competitive chess. My current plan is to continue to participate in well-organised top-level tournaments and to try to maintain the no 1 spot on the rating list that I have successfully defended for most of 2010. Best regards, IGM Magnus Carlsen
The next step of the current World Championship cycle is formed by the Candidates matches, which are scheduled in Kazan in the Russian republic of Tatarstan in the spring of 2011. The winner of these matches will meet Viswanathan Anand in a World Championship match, which will probably be held in London in 2012. FIDE has confirmed to have received Carlsen's letter. "Currently we have no comments on this matter. We must treat it in the World Championship committee first," said FIDE Executive Director David Jarrett of FIDE to VG Nett.Now with such breaking news and a discussion that's going at top speed, we added something we wanted to do for a while already: threaded comments. You can now reply directly to certain comments instead of using the '@' symbol. Let's see how this works.

My sentiments exactly. If he chooses to ignore this and wins the World Championship by not even playing the regining champion, then he would just be a "minor champion" in chess history. Just like Ponomariov and Kasimdzhanov.
Why do so many people disagree with this view? Its puzzles me.
3 years 5 months ago
Poll added!
I miss the option 'Good idea, even though FIDE probably couldn't care less, which pretty much makes it a bad idea after all.' :-)
I think there ara a couple of sports where the previous world champion is automatically invited (or the host nation -as in footbal). I think it is not a privilege for the World champ to be present at the finals, and beating the actual champion is possibly a true legitimisation for the future champs.
Nevertheless one can agree MC that the whole Wch circle is rather messy and probably not 100 % honest. However as far as I see in the finals we're gonna meet undisputedly the top 5 players (except of MC). Many comments suggest that it is not only about the Wch, but about FIDE. In that case I cannot take MC's complaints seriouslym, and I think this protest is a rather dull and cheap way of opposing Kirsanism in FIDE.

chess Worldchampion is like a king:) someone must qualify for the match against the worldchampion. Worldchampion must not qualify. its like in boxing. too.
GM Carlsen's decision definitely has reduced my interest in the upcoming matches for now, although once matches start, I am sure I would be very interested. That being said, I personally admire his decision on account of his openness. Of course, not everyone can do this in style as such, but remember GM Adams also dropped from Candidate Tournaments (like Carlsen did) on account of poor handling by FIDE (they changed the format during the cycle...). Of course, both Carlsen and Adams know the importance of the title, thus made their opinions known for the first place. It is admirable of both to show that title is, however, not everything about playing chess professionally. Cheers!
What if we consider the Topa Anand final as a qualification tournament for the next finals?
In that sense Anand has already qualified for the finals.

I have split thoughts about what's going on.
Sure I like the idea of freshness and equality (justice) concerning cycles.
Withdraw when your at the top (with prime to come) it is pretty couragous but I doubt that it is enough to change things.
I would says to Magnus GET THE TITLE and sit at the table with FIDE, so you can abolish your privilege as world champion. That the way that WISE man work.
On the others hand I don't want to see a other decade of division (refering at the Kasparov PCA time...Kasparov had admit that it was the worst mistake of his career). But I think that not in Magnus intention.
Your are a very successfull and populars tournaments players been number 1 for 2010, but that's is just half-way of the road.
You need to get the WCC tittle then you will have the total power of attention from FIDE.
My 2 cents
1. Carlsen has done the right thing. It's really brave of him actually as a person. 2. Fide would have to rethink 3. Why don't they hold the men's world championship like they do the women's championship? Simple. 4. Kudos to chess vibes for not tolerating even half a swear word. I love you guys for all the great work.
Do you even know how Women+s World Championship is contested???
Sad. I would have loved to see Carlsen play matches in the WCC. Why do I sense from his comments that he doesnt want to sit down and prepare for months for a particular opponent/match. He can play in tournaments and win them handily, but preparing for and playing matches would also be good for his chess development. And besides I dont think that FIDE is going to change anything. Fischer refusing to defend his title, Carlsen refusing to play the candidates cycle....sad for chess.
Geof S.

Has Carlsen ever played a serious match? I don't recall one, but maybe he has?
Has he ever won a match?
For centuries, the World Championship has been decided in a match between the reigning World Champion and a challenger. Only recently have there been exceptions to this rule, and they have been the result of a completely dysfunctional cycle. Carlsen apparently doesn't feel this time-honored system suits him.
I have always liked Carlsen and admired his play. But I cannot help but view this decision as essentially a selfish one. In fact, as a marketing decision. He feels confident that he can maintain the top FIDE rating, thereby giving him marketability as top rated player in the world. Losing in a semi-final World Championship match to Aronian or Kramnik, or in a World Championhip match to Anand - which could easily happen - would just dilute his brand.
It's one thing for Kasparov to want to change the system from the inside once he's actually won the title. Kasparov got there the hard way. It's another thing for Carlsen, who has yet to prove himself in matchplay, to want the system to change to give him a better chance of winning the first time he participates in it.
Sorry, but I just lost a lot of respect for Carlsen. The toughest games any chessplayer ever plays are games in World Championship matches where only the strong survive. He just chickened out.
Of course he did. Lost against Aronian in 2007 Candidates after rapid and blitz play-off.
3 years 5 months ago
Exactly right, Geof. He chickened out and called sour grapes on chess history.
3 years 5 months ago
Good point: what has proved Carlsen so far? That he MAY be the best current tournament player. Then what? What does that prove? Kramnik has not the best style to be a tournament terror (even he succeeds well), Anand spares his energy for the WCC. So what?
Kasparov did prove that he was the best in the world: he won the title and defended it.
Carlsen did not even tried.
I think he is kind of doing what he wants because he could have maken the decision earlier..
I think he is right.. I mean the cycle can't last for 5 years.. and Kramnik and Topalov got their world championship matches withouth going through all the other top elite chess players.
and I also dont think that a round robin tournament is the right way to determine a world champion.
Ok, I believe that the regulations should be like that.
1.The world champion has to defend his title at least once every year.
2.Every chess player with a rating over 2800 is capable to challenge the World Championship if he finds the sponsor with a minimum prize fund for the world champion of 1 million euros.
3.For the other players, who are less than 2800 or dont have the sponsor, they can have a World Cup or something to qualify them. This FIDE can do it every 2 years.
Just to start..
This all has already been done. People weren't satisfied.
To further elaborate upon this point: we don't want a new world champion every year. We are perfectly happy with the few we have had so far (14 or 15 depending on ones point of view, only FIDE thinks we have had 17). We cherish the momentous matches in which the old champions where dethroned and we look forward to the future with anticipation of more momentous matches, preferably with but also without Carlsen.
Suppose there are 3-4 candidates with 2800+ rating and backing of sponsor, the champion would be required to defend his title every 3-4 months. Ridiculous situation (not to speak of the inequality ) dont you agree? I like the match format ( sorry Magnus ), but yes 5 years seems too long. Maybe FIDE can shorten the cycle to around 3 years. Meanwhile lets hope Magnus does come back into the cycle. A match between him and Anand would be excellent!
I was refering that the World Champion has the obligation to defend the title at least once a year if there is a challenger.
If he wants to face more than one challenger is ok.. I mean, he is getting one million euros every time he is defending the title, not bad for him..
It is like in box
I applaud Magnus Carlsen for his brave clarity. In 1900 a world champion was the world champion until deposed by the likely best player of the day. Folks we live in a different world now, There are 'top ten' and 'top 100' and many consistently strong finishers in category 20 and 21 events, who deserve equal chances.
Magnus is absolutely right why should the "last time" winner get one of two tickets and the rest of the world fight for the other one?
Imagine the Olympics if all of the "last time we played" gold medalists were automatically seeded into the next Olympic event?
The last Superbowl champions were auto-seeded into next year and everybody else had to fight for a chance to play them?
If you want Chess to become a Sport the rules should reflect it as a sport.

There is indeed quite an advantage offered the champion. Apart from the obvious one-of-two tickets advantage, he gets to only prepare once and keep whatever novelties he comes up with while the challengers use theirs up on the way to the final. Magnus refers to this in his letter.
Maybe seeding the champ as the top seed in the final eight (i.e., quarterfinals) would be best. Then all eight players would have an equal shot at the title. It would require the champ to win three matches. If he's the best, why not? Maybe Anand can do the unthinkable and suggest it?
If you want Chess to be viewed as a Sport the rules must reflect it as a Sport. Not as a privilege Parlor game.
You are wrong Brian, because chess is not cycling where the title of world champion means very little compared to winning the main tours. We hold our world champions in esteem like no other sports perhaps, but we stick to this tradition as is demonstrated by the fact that very few people regard Khalifman and Kasimdzhanov truely as former bearers of the title.
Why on earth would anyone want chess being viewed as one of those disgustingly (physical) sports? Chess is special, better!
Besides, if there is an advantage to the WCH it is because he has earned it, by proving he was better than the previous WCH and his advantages together. That is also why Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik and Anand are real champions and the title means so much more in chess. I don't think the candidates before a match are unfair, and for half a century nobody did.

Carlsen is absolutely right in withdrawing from the WC. More players should do so. The current system is not fair, and gives the reigning WC to much benfits.
As for individual sports i would like to compare chess with snooker. At the world championships in Sheffield every year the former WC has to play the same number of matches as the rest to be crowned WC. Same format should be applied to chess a well.
This would attract more sponsors to the game and a worthy WC in the end.
3 years 5 months ago
This decision and open letter does not make any sense to me.
If he is going to withdraw from every cycle that is not a 100% to his liking he is never going to play for the WC.
About the poll: maybe you could add a voting button with every post in this thread? ;)
3 years 5 months ago
carlsen knows he cannot beat kramnik/anand in match play in the next 2 years.
fair cycle is a subjective thing.
carlsen's defnition of fair cylce is one that suits him
I really respect Magnus for this descision, even though it is a pity that the cycle will miss its biggest star.
For him personally I think he will become a better chessplayer. The WC cycle is confusing, timeconsuming an takes focus away from being a better chessplayer.
Keep up the good work, Magnus. Proud of you!!!

It seems Carlsen wants to change a system that has been in place for more than a century.
This is not a task that one person can accomplish, even if he is the strongest player in the world. Actually, his idea has been tried recently by FIDE in practice, and we have had the world championship split of the years 1993 -- 2006. The FIDE world champions after 1993 (Karpov, Khalifman, Anand, Ponomariov, Kasimdzhanov, Topalov) were not universally accepted as world champions. However, after 2006 everybody recognized Kramnik and Anand as world champions, heirs of the title of Steinitz. The notion of "the player who won the WC this year" does not appeal so much to the chess public.
Analogies (e.g. with football) are deceiving because they are just analogies, they are not proofs of something.
It is also a pity because he had very good chances of winning the world championship.

A very brave move by MC relying on his youth to be around AND a dominate force in the next 20 years to motivate a change. Clearly MC is the best thing for chess to come along in a long time, a youthful, European player that is marketable to a new YOUNG generation
A few points. Magnus has a manager, his father, that is looking out for him. So this letter was not from Magnus as much as his team. Magnus was probably frustrated and his family helped draft the letter.
The move is a very bold one but one that due to a few factors might finally spur FIDE to create at least a reasonable format to determine WC.
people often wax nostalgia for the days of lore when a WC was the dominate player in a particular time. This dominance was also a political and social one in some countries where giving the elite privileges was par. They deserved it was how the countries in charge ran things [i.e. USSR] and its became the norm.
This always looked strange to western countries but because the dominate players in chess were always from these countries there was no real point in changing things since they were the main players who could seriously fight for the title, albeit with one notable exception who was unstable and didn't play again.
The WC format needs to be changed at with a view to the future not gazing backwards with glances over the shoulder to see where to go next.
The football comment was a very accurate one. Noone outside true fans have the time to deal with the current extended matches and constant changes that occur due to lack of political or financial support that arise. I do agree that matches are still the critical factor but there needs to be a faster method that allows ALL players to participate.
People want excitement and drama with the WC having to struggle as well. I am struggling to think of one sport where the reigning WC can avoid the qualification process: Olympics, tennis, Football, Basketball, Martial arts etc. Does ANY sport have a format that allows the WC to sit on a throne and wait for the battered challenger to knock on the castle gates?
Why is chess so arrogant to think this is the best format? Why do people use tradition as the argument to defend the current process?
Lets move on! If chess wants financial backing and media support it must get with the program and create something that makes sense to the larger population as a whole.
You think?
". Noone outside true fans have the time to deal with the current extended matches .."
You want to degrade chess just so some uninterested people will watch it too?
Let's respect the old traditions and logic of a wch match. The current situation with many big tournaments and big names proves that chess already has financial backing, even in a crisis. And at this site you can see we followers are many already. As for the comparisons, chess is not just any other sport. Elitarism is a good thing.
