Jun-03-05    kvcs: Where did he come from???? What you may wish to know about GM Ivan Cheparinov from Bulgaria. [We should ask TOPALOV! Here is another Chess Gem form BULGARIA... whatelse are the BULGARs keeping from the Chessworld?!] __________________________________ FIDE Information: -->Federation------>Bulgaria -->FIDE title------->Grand Master -->Current rating--->2621 -->Birthday--------->Nov 1986 _________________________________ CHESSMETRICS Information: -->Best World Rank--->#387 (on the June 2004 rating list) -->Highest Rating---->2525 on the September 2002 rating list, #427 in world, age 15y10m -->Best Individual Performance: 2580 in BUL-ch 68th Sofia, 2004, scoring 8.5/12 (71%) vs 2449-rated opposition - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NB: with his best performance being in the 68th Bulgarian Chmp, then this result of 9.5/13 is much better at 73%. __________________________________ Based on copyrighted materials of: World Chess Federation--> <fide.com> Chessmetrics--> <chessmetrics.com> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Molly S, KV Chess Correspondent chesspresssyndicate@yahoo.com KV Control #144006030605 -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Jun-03-05    cowamniks: I dont see Any game of Topalov here, hes not also in the players list ???????????????????????????????? Jun-03-05    hintza: Topalov didn't play in the 69th Bulgarian Championship. And one question mark is enough, not to mention that a question mark is usually preceded by a question. :-) Jun-03-05    ScorpionFrog: nice one hintza :) Jun-03-05    stijn: maybe he was confused because on the left of the starting page it says topalov's second (ivan cheparinov won) Jun-04-05    Anna Wrekzia: Bulgaria probably doesn't have any money for a prize fund. They are probably playing for a trophy and a year's supply of breath mints. Jun-04-05    ScorpionFrog: Anna Wrekzia: You seem to know a lot about Bulgaria!? Jun-04-05    stijn: at least cheparinov will have a fresh breath Jun-04-05    gadfly: <Anna Wrekzia> You should probably refrain yourself from posting such comments, because it might probably be considered a little bit impolite. Just probably. Jun-04-05    sharpnova: hintza. nothing witty about ur comment. cowamnik's question marks were meant to indicate his confusion. this is simple to understand. scorpionfrog, you should pick a classier person to be the lacky of. Jun-04-05    square dance: <sharpnova> maybe you should read <cowamnik>'s posts before you stick up for him. he spends a good deal of his time on this site trolling. Jun-04-05    JoshuaJ8588: How about the number of King Indian's in this tourney. Jun-04-05    hintza: Ha, so there is indeed "honour among trolls"! Who would have thought it? <nothing witty about ur comment> It would appear you are suffering from a lack of perceptiveness. Also, if you think my comment was intended to offend, then you are way off the mark. <cowamnik's question marks were meant to indicate his confusion. this is simple to understand> What?! I picked up on his confusion and told him Topalov was not even playing in this tournament. At least read the posts properly before banging on about someone allegedly being my "lacky" [sic]. I really don't know where you get any of this drivel from. Jun-04-05    aw1988: I wouldn't worry about it. Anyone who sais 'u' or 'ur' is really not worth my time unless English isn't their first language. Jun-04-05    hintza: Like I'm really worried anyway :-) Jun-04-05    ScorpionFrog: square dance, hintza: What does "trolling" mean? Thanks. Jun-04-05    Sneaky: The way I see it, Topalov didn't play in the Bulgarian championships for the same reason Bobby Fischer didn't play in the US junior championships. Why embarass his fellow countrymen unnecessarily by staging an exhibition against them? Jun-07-05    suenteus po 147: I get it now. Topalov didn't come in second, Ivan Cheparinov is Topalov's second. I, too, was confused by the way <chessgames.com> posted the result on the homepage. Jun-09-05    Phoenix: Looks like Topalov and Cheparinov are reaping huge benefits from working with each other. Good to see! Jun-10-05    Rawprawn: Sneaky, Fisher did play in the US Junior and won it a couple of times I think. Jun-29-05    DanRoss53: <Rawprawn>, I believe <Sneaky> means that Fischer declined playing in several years that he was still eligible. He definitely did play in the '55, '56 and '57 US Juniours. Dec-23-11    Penguincw: Was this a round robin tournament? I think it is. But with 13 rounds, this is like Tata.
