  melianis: He seems like the only current GM to play Giuoco Piano with some frequency. Another thing, he exclusively opens with 1.e4 (369 games vs. 3 games), and responds almost always with 1...c5. Against 1.d4 ...Nf6 is the only move he has played in this database.

  DarthStapler: I just visited the Connecticut State Open Championship and Kudrin was there, I saw him playing. I was standing only a few feet away from him.
Mar-09-08  MichAdams: You should have summoned the courage to ask to kiss his ring.
Sep-07-08  SleepyEye: Sergey seems to be a very nice person. I once got a draw off him in a simul. He congratulated me after the game and actually seemed to be sincere about it. Unfortunately, very unusual for a GM.

  paulalbert: I've never seen this show on the tape for which you provided the link. I've known Sergei Kudrin for many years, a winner of my U.S. Championship Brilliancy Prize, a strong and serious GM. Frankly, had he gotten up and punched out the so-called host, I would not have objected. Paul Albert

  grasser: The show is done just for fun. It's public access for beginner to Grandmaster. CheckerPhil did the best he could to keep the episode fun and lite.
Sep-07-11  newshutz: I had the privilege of being demolished by him in the 1st round of the 2011 Columbus Open!

I am still pondering that game.

Sep-07-11  belgradegambit: Many years ago I defeated Kudrin's (much weaker) younger brother. I played black in a Sicilian Dragon!
