explanation of withdraw needed

edit

In the article it states; "Kramnik withdraw from the World Cup spot, Aronian and Topalov from the rating list"

besides this quote containing possible gramatical errors (withdrew instead of withdraw? also include Aronian and Topalov withdrws from...?) I have no knowledge of what is the reason behind this withdrawal, Is it automatic because of prior participation? Did they elect to not participate for some reason? A citation is probably necessary to clear this up Pjbeierle (talk) 17:56, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

The grammatical errors were made by me. I was reading an article this week were they were speculating about the absences, Kramnik (soon retiring?), Aronian (save through rating for candidates), and Topalov (just unhappy about the whole GP changing cities and dates). Can't find it just now. Topalov was saying that in an interview to a TV station (at the Olympiad?). Might help googling it up. -Koppapa (talk) 19:56, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

removing provisional final placings.

edit

As interesting and potentially useful this might be, the "provisional final placings" listed are "unofficial" and have no reliable source (independent spreadsheets and your own math don't count). Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought nor is it a crystal ball. If you can find such numbers published on an official website, or a reputable chess news organization, then it can be re-added, using that as source. I hope this makes sense. If you need more clarification, please let me know. Best, Kingturtle = (talk) 11:46, 25 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Lots of Wikipedia articles use basic math, and the sources are all checkable. But most importantly, the Chessbase link which I gave ( http://en.chessbase.com/post/khanty-rd9-clearer-and-clearer ) had the 5 Grand Prix leaders (and their numbers agreed with mine). So the table was only a very minor extension of what Chessbase did, I thought.
But since it's contentious (and honestly I don't care that much, I just thought it was helpful), I'll put the table after round 10 here instead. Again, Chessbase gives the leading 3 http://en.chessbase.com/post/khanty-rd10-jakovenko and their numbers, as far as they've given them, agree with mine. Adpete (talk) 01:47, 26 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
