CHESS; Faster Games Mean Mistakes, As Svidler Finds at World Cup
Chess has sped up lately, often affecting a games outcome. Time controls were first imposed in the mid-19th century because some players took forever to move, prolonging games more than a day. After years of experimentation, the standard allotment of time became two-and-a-half hours per player for 40 moves, and another hour for each additional 16. - Dylan Loeb McClain chess column on problems encoubntered by Peter Svidler because of quick games at World Cup in Russia; diagram (M) - By DYLAN LOEB McCLAIN

How does the football community rate New Zealand efforts at the world cup?
Im from NZ and am interested in how those from other countries view our performance at the world cup. Is getting 3 draws against significantly higher ranked sides an acheivement, or do you feel you need to get a win before claiming we did well.
Also as a side issue, if your team has to play against NZ, do you think that you would be a little less certain of the result than you would have been before the world cup.
NOTE - I dont really want opinions from people in NZ, Im interested in other peoples points of view.
Answer: I was hoping that New Zealand would get through to the next round, even though I guessed three losses and one scored goal. I loved to see the "All whites" play, and 1-1 against Italy is really something to be proud of. You certainly don't have to win to be respected (On the other hand, you didn't lose either...). You showed the world that you deserved that place in the World Cup! If Norway would play against NZ before the World Cup, I think I would guess a 3-0 win for Norway, but now I'd say 1-1 or 1-0 to Norway.
I hope both NZ and Norway qualifies for the next World Cup and wish you good luck there. Maybe they will meet each other in the group stages, who knows... Hope you'll get far!!!

How does the world cup draw work?
Ive been reading about Australias chances in the world cup draw and in the articles they keep talking about pots. How do they work out the draw for the world cup? Im assuming its not just drawn out of a hat and there is some kind of order for who goes in each group?
Answer: The 32 teams have been separated into four pots and one team from each pot will end up in each group.
The top 7 teams (Argentina, Brazil, England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain) in the October 2009 world ranking and South Africa as the host are in Pot 1. The countries from Asia, Oceania, and North America are in pot 2. The remaining African and South American countries are in pot 3, and the rest of the European countries are in pot 4.
Teams will randomly be drawn from Pot 1 and placed in one of the 8 groups for the world cup. (South Africa is guaranteed to be in Group 1). Teams will then be randomly drawn from Pot 2 and placed in a group.
Pot 3 gets tricky. Europe has more than 8 teams in the tournament so inevitably some groups will have more than 1 european team but all the other continents can only have 1 in each group. The first 2 African teams drawn from Pot 3 will automatically go to the groups containing Argentina and Brazil from Pot 1, and the first south american team drawn will go to Group A with South Africa. This ensures that neither Africa or South America have more than 1 team in one group. The rest of Pot 3 will be drawn like Pots 1 and 2 were.
Teams will then be randomly drawn from Pot 4 to complete the groups.

Best options to go to Brazil 2014 World Cup?
Me and a couple of mates are talking about going to the World Cup next year. Were England fans and ideally want to be where England are playing, but I understand that we wont know this until the World Cup draw in December.
So Im wondering if anyone has looked into taking a trip out to Brazil for the World Cup. If so, what are you planning on doing? I know that Brazil is a ridiculously huge country and Im guessing we will have to base in one of the big cities and stay there for the duration but not sure.
Any info how to get there, where to stay, whats cracking off out there, how much etc.. will be appreciated.
Cheers.
Answer: Big Matches will be in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. You can check the official FIFA website and look at all the stadiums and their locations.
On a not so happy note you might want to make sure England qualifies.

Why is everyone saying that England 15th is accurate? Where should they really rank?
I mean cmon, its below Colombia, Croatia, Belgium, Greece, Ivory Coast, Bosnia...
Also you cant say wins against Spain, Italy, Brazil and also a draw in the Maracana are bad results. People do forget that other national teams have their woes too. Italy lost a massive 5 games in 2012, Spain have been thrashed in friendlies, Brazil went on a run of 2 wins in 8 games before the Confederations Cup etc...
NOTE: The top 7 teams are the seeded teams when it comes to the World Cup draw. Group of death is likely if a top team is ranked outside the top 7.
Answer: There's still a long way to go, so relax.
At the same time, they drew against Ireland and the victory over Spain and Italy was long time ago, since when should FIFA judge England only on friendly matches against the big/better teams?
They are second in their group, and if we were to judge the WC qualifiers for Europe based on now, then they wouldn't even reach the play-offs.
Majority don't even take the FIFA World rankings seriously but it does come into play for the seedings unfortunately, which I guess it's the best way.

What would be your World Cup "dream matchup?"?
We have to take the World Cup draw as it is, and maybe hope for some special showdowns after that. But if you could face any two teams in the Cup off against each other, who it be and why? An intriguing matchup for me, and it could happen, would be Brasil vs. Portugal -- Big Phil and a super-loaded Portugal side against his former Cup winners -- or perhaps USA-Iran, because I would love to see a real WAR! Germany-Turkey would be interesting here in Germany, if the Turks had qualified.
Answer: A really exciting match would definitely be England v Germany, as the hosts would hate to lose against us. The atmosphere in the Stadium would be wicked! Get me a ticket, I am already there!!

Can Mexico try to upset some big teams in next years World Cup?
In my opinion, they can try to beat some pretty good teams in Brazil next year. Although some of us say that they dont, Mexico have been eliminated by Argentina in 2 World Cups.
Can Mexico reach quarterfinals?
If Mexico is placed in a group of death, will it be over or not? Mexico has to be placed in an easier group in next weeks World Cup final draw.
Coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup final draw starts at 11am ET/10am CT/8am PT on Univisión.
Answer: Ever since Miguel Herrera became Mexico's new coach we have been seeing more chemistry in the field. Many people expected a close "repechaje" game between Mexico and New Zealand, but Mexico ended up dominating and winning.
Players are getting used to Miguel Herrera's tactics already.. We have been seeing chemistry and good results. Bringing in players in Europe will only make things better. Anything can happen in the World Cup, i think if Miguel Herrera stays as coach, we can see Mexico make it far in the World Cup. Lets wait and see though.
