| Jun-04-09 | | Troller: Sokolov beat Hillarp-Persson with black in the first round of Sigeman 2009. It had some nice fireworks at the end: http://www.sigeman-chess.com/live/i...
Hillarp-Persson has risen 120 elo or so during the last year or maybe even six months, but he is very unstable. |

 | | wordfunph: Happy 41st Birthday GM Ivan Sokolov... we were born on the same year 1968.. |
|
| Jun-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: Happy birthday Mr. Sokolov!! |
|
| Jul-27-09 | | Johnny O: In January 2004 he was #16 in the world with a 2706 FIDE rating. How much respect do I have for GM Ivan Sokolov's contributions to opening theory? His black games against 1. d4 are the only ones I even look at. I'm not kidding. |
|
| Sep-02-09 | | Johnny O: "Red October: it seems suicidal playing the Nimzo Indian Defence against him" Agreed. In his last 23 games he has only 4 losses against Ponomariov, Aronian, Judit Polgar, and Naiditsch. |

 | | Open Defence: a very creative player, we need such players even though they may not reach the pinnacle... |

 | | Tabanus: That nobody here noticed (or cared) he recently won the Corsica Masters is almost interesting. http://www.echecs.asso.fr/Resultat2... |

| Jun-05-10 | | wolfmaster: Is Sokolov crunk in that photo? |

| | wordfunph: last round today in 11th Karpov Poikovsky, last seed Ivan Sokolov (2654) with +2 -4 =4 or 4/10. Interestingly, he won his game against second seed GM Jakovenko (2725).. http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/chessne... happy 42nd birthday Ivan! |
|
| Jun-28-10 | | The Rocket: There are some less flattering storys I have been told about this man from a friend of mine, who is a friend of Ivan Sokolov, I can say it involves drinking:) But anyway a great player nonetheless:= |

 | | technical draw: < Is Sokolov crunk in that photo?> Yes, he may have had a few crinks. |

 | | tamar: Next question, is that the ceiling, or is lying on a tile floor? |
|
| Mar-19-11 | | Amulet: Another observation about the ceiling - it's so low that his head almost touches it, interesting. |
|
| Mar-09-12 | | Penguincw: Sokolov off to a perfect start at the Reykjavik Open (2012), going 4/4. In Round 5, he has black against David Navara, who also has a perfect start. |
|
| Mar-09-12 | | efvaatn: He has a wonderful start in the Reykjavik Open, scoring a perfect score |
|
Mar-09-12
 | | brankat: Hopefully my c$40 on I.Sokolov will bear fruit :-) |
|
| Mar-10-12 | | Penguincw: Sokolov downed co-leader David Navara with black (Navara vs I Sokolov, 2012) in only 37 moves today! He is a perfect 5/5 at the Reykjavik Open (2012). Normally, this would give him solo lead, however Ivan Cheparinov also won his game today to stay perfect. The two <Ivan>'s will battle it out for first tomorrow. Only one (or none) can be perfect! |

|
| Sep-01-12 | | VladimirOo: <wordfunph> Where does your quote come from ? Thx.
By the way, anybody knows if there has been articles (New in Chess,...) by or dedicated to Sokolov ? |
|
Dec-24-12
 | | OhioChessFan: His pic appears to show him celebrating a win by break dancing on his head. |
|

 | | Check It Out: -5 after 10 rounds at Tata 2013. Oh well, at least he will live until he's 10,000 years of age! |
|
| Jan-26-13 | | Jafar219: Poor Sokolov :( |
