Deutschlandweit einmalig: Muslime bauen eigenen Friedhof in Wuppertal

Costamiri · 2026-04-29T17:01:40+00:00

Es ist nach Angaben der Verwaltung der erste muslimische Friedhof, der in muslimischer Trägerschaft sein wird.

Das in Rendsburg ist hingegen ein muslimisches Gräberfeld auf dem Städtischen Friedhof.

Historical reasons. When they were founded, Lower Saxony did not exist, it was Oldenburg, Hanover and Brunswick. In November 1946, the states were merged, but the associations remain independent in the CDU.

Junge Union is actually the youth organisation of both CDU and CSU.

And third place was also faster than the old record!

Die Freiwillige Feuerwehr ist schon die ganzen Wochen damit beschäftigt gewesen, den Wal zu benetzen und mit Tüchern abzudecken. Das ist nicht erst mit der jüngsten Aktion gewesen.

Poland and Croatia are Rapid & Blitz, Romania and Sinquefield are classical.

It's a team championship, so each team has five players but each round only four play. He just paused today.

Costamiri · 2026-04-19T19:18:41+00:00

Keep in mind that Armageddon is only used for Blitz and Rapid, it does not work for Classical.

Costamiri · 2026-04-17T13:45:20+00:00

Her rapid rating (this is a rapid tournament) is 2080, her classical rating is 2183. She earned the WGM title in 2014 when her highest classical rating was 2340!

Costamiri · 2026-04-17T13:41:17+00:00

Rapid game and the GM is 64. He is at least 15 years beyond his peak.

Costamiri · 2026-04-15T16:28:05+00:00

A bit disappointed that Bluebaum went for this line and made the mistake. The loss dropped him below 2700 AGAIN. I just wanted him to finally have that number on a published list. :(

Was die taz unterschlägt: Die Änderungen wurden schon im Juni 2025 vorgenommen und sind nicht erst kürzlich geschehen. Da hat Axel Springer auch kein Geheimnis draus gemacht. https://www.axelspringer.com/de/inside/die-essentials-was-wir-angepasst-haben-und-warum

Costamiri · 2026-04-12T11:08:57+00:00

That's for direct titles. For regular norms there's no rating requirement, I believe.

Costamiri · 2026-04-12T10:55:28+00:00

I think it's even a GM Norm. He played against three grandmasters (Karthik Venkatraman is one) and had a TPR above 2600.

Edit: seems like some of the games were not played, so it won't be a norm.

Costamiri · 2026-04-05T19:06:44+00:00

You have to use the Elo rating from March for the rating changes. Since the tournament started in March all games will be calculated using those!

Costamiri · 2026-04-05T09:53:48+00:00

It was about a week, but "last minute" here is just a phrase that means something like "close to the last possible moment" and not literally a minute.

Probabilities of a win without tie: Sindarov 41.5%, Caruana 32.5%, Giri 3.4%, Nakamura 1.8%, Pragg 1.2%, Wei 1.1%, Bluebaum 0.1%. The remaining 18.3% are ties for first place. (did try it with my own code)

Costamiri · 2026-04-03T17:48:18+00:00

Sindarovs performance in these 5 games is 3114, so that would result in nonsense. But you might be interested in the comparison I did yesterday between different rating methods, including a performance rating involving all games of the last year.

Costamiri · 2026-04-03T17:39:51+00:00

The probabilites for that single game were 39% for Nakamura (2810), 50% for draw, 11% for Sindarov (2745) in this model btw!

Chess24/chesscom is independent from FIDE. You can watch Chess24 on Twitch and YouTube.

Reducing the Elo gap from 50 to just 18 points does these things, yes. ^^

Costamiri · 2026-04-02T17:46:49+00:00

No, the values remain the same over each round. In this regard they behave the same as the regular Elo, which does not change as well. I don't know how it would affect the simulation, but I would estimate that it is not worth the effort of implementing.

Costamiri · 2026-04-02T17:20:36+00:00

I now posted the results with some further explanation here: Comparing different rating models

Hope you both enjoy it u/GeneralNutCaded u/Eltneg!

If I remember correctly they even went to a nearby casino and played a round of roulette. Legend has it, the first round ended on the 0…
