Jun-29-06		BIDMONFA: Kidambi Sundararajan SUNDARARAJAN, Kidambi http://www.bidmonfa.com/sundararaja... _

Aug-04-06		harifan: Kidambi is 3/3 in Badalona, Spain and is playing Fernando Peralta today. Good luck Kidu!

Jan-01-10		Fusilli: He was awarded the GM title in June 2009 (http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...). He just played the North American Open in Las Vegas. I lost to him in the first round. He told me he was in the US for the holidays. His USCF rating is still provisional. He hasn't played much around here. I am not sure if his last name is Kidambi or Sundararajan. At the North American Open he was listed as if Kidambi were his last name, but here Sundararajan seems to be his last name. Does anyone know?

Jan-28-10		indianchessupdates: . Fusilli, both are same people his fide rating is 2526 Kidambi finished 19th North American Open joint second with 5.5/7. This will be rated in the march 2010 rankings he is back in India playing in chennai open for more on indian players http://indianchessupdates.blogspot....

Jan-29-10		Fusilli: <<indianchessupdates> Fusilli, both are same people> Yes, but I was wondering if his family name was Kidambi and Sundararajan his first name, or the other way around. (I don't know anything about Indian names!)

Jan-29-10		Ragh: <I don't know anything about Indian names!> Nice article on chessbase regarding part of Indian names.. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

Jan-29-10		Fusilli: <Ragh> Thank you! That was enlightening.

Jul-03-10		wordfunph: <Fusilli: Yes, but I was wondering if his family name was Kidambi and Sundararajan his first name, or the other way around. (I don't know anything about Indian names!)> based on FIDE site, his first name is Kidambi.. http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...

Jul-18-15		Penguincw: Kidambi Sundararajan (2433) upsets top seed Karen H. Grigoryan (2580) in R3 of the Sant Marti Open! He eventually becomes the lowest rated player to remain perfect through 4 and 5 rounds of the tournament. In R6, he'll face IM Tigran S. Petrosian (2441).

Feb-03-17		WorstPlayerEver: No gender indication. But it's a GM. So it's likely a male. This is how we are rolling, not?

Oct-20-18		ketchuplover: Drawn goes Kramnik!
