FIDE player card for Peter Heine Nielsen


PETER HEINE NIELSEN
(born May-24-1973) Denmark

[what is this?]
Nielsen became a Grandmaster in 1994 and is Denmark's top player. By September 2005 his ELO rating was 2668, the highest rated GM from the Nordic countries. In 2007, he worked as a second to World Chess Champion GM Viswanathan Anand. Nielsen qualified for the World Cup (2011) as a nominee of the FIDE President, and won his first three rounds against Israeli GM Evgeny Postny, English GM Michael Adams and Romanian GM Mircea Parligras to face Vugar Gashimov in round four; he lost the first game to Gashimov but fought back to take the second and force the match to a tiebreaker, his fourth of the contest, however Gashimov prevailed in the second set of rapid-play (10+10) tiebreakers. In 2013 he joined Magnus Carlsen team to assist Carlsen, commencing with the World Championship Candidates (2013) in March, however, he apparently will not be assisting Carlsen against Anand due to his previous association as Anand's second.

Sep-08-11  Rareswow: Great player ! He proved it at the world cup !
Sep-08-11  SimonWebbsTiger: we are all tickled pink that Heine proved he deserved his World Cup wild card. He did himself proud. His other half did well, of course, at the Women's Rapid at the recent Botvinnik Memorial.

  Shams: <His other half> Wife, or girlfriend? It seems like his bio could tell us.
Sep-09-11  SimonWebbsTiger: @<shams>

his girlfriend Viktorija Cmilyte

Sep-09-11  Poulsen: LOL - Chessbase.com calls him "norwegian" - sometimes I wonder, who actually writes those articles on Chessbase. They sometimes reveals a lack precise knowledge.

  whiteshark: <Poulsen> Europe is just a better country, particularly the north...
Sep-16-11  Poulsen: <whiteshark> I may be missing your point (sorry), but Europe is not a country - its a continent - or a swedish rockband, if you like.

PHN used to coach Magnus Carlsen at some point - maybe that's why some falls under the illusion, that he is norwegian.

Nothing wrong with norwegians, mind you :-)

Sep-16-11  SimonWebbsTiger: Bloody amazing that the biggest Danish talent since Bent Larsen (and a second for Carlsen and Anand) is called Norwegian!

I shall have to ask him 22 Sept. 2011 at a lecture, here in Denmark, what he makes of these "Norwegian" accusations! :D

  alexmagnus: <They sometimes reveals a lack precise knowledge.>

Nothing comparable with a <Moldavian> chess site which instead of the news of <GM Bologan reaching round 2 of the World Cup> wrote about <IM Bologan reaching round 2 of the Moldavia Cup>. It didn't bother the news agency that the "Moldavia Cup" was held in Russia and the opponent in round 1 was a Pole (both being mentioned in the news message, though the name of the Pole was written wrong). The message ended with a mysterious sentence "playing with black chesses (!), our sportsman will compete in round 2".

  Morten: Happy birthday, Peter.

Busy at the moment, I gather. Thumbs up!

May-24-12  SimonWebbsTiger: Happy birthday to the gentle, giant Dane!

@<Morten>
I think it is safe to say Peter Heine is a tad busy, yes.

May-24-12  efvaatn: happy birthday

  Naniwazu: Peter has stopped working for Anand and is currently coaching Magnus Carlsen.
Apr-07-13  Albertan: Peter Heine Nielsen won't work for Magnus Carlsen: Vishwanathan Anand

http://articles.timesofindia.indiat...

Apr-17-13  Chessinfinite: Peter Heine Nielsen is one of the best trainer/ coach/ seconds any player in the World can have today. Anand knows this, and so does Carlsen. Absolutely the 'winning edge' in preparation imo to have him in the team.

I think Anand will be thankful to Peter Heine Neilsen for his great help in his preparatory work. Good luck to PHN on his next venture with Carlsen.

May-24-13  JPi: <The player of the day> for many Japanese players. We were please to met not only a strong GM but also a man of a great simplicity. Both frank and subtle. In the name of a lot Japanese chess players Happy Birthday Heine Peter!

  Appaz: What a nice tribute, <JPi> and I can only testify to your kind words.

I guess this Danish giant was both "frank and subtle" except in his physical presence :)

May-25-13  JPi: Well <Appaz> to be frank but not as subtle as our friend; as matter of -little- fa(c)t, alas, I'm not in position to argue.
