| Jan-17-07 | | garcia.markina: Lautier is not a professional chessplayer anymore. He works for a french company in Moscow, because of his mastery in russian. That is why he sometimes makes such short draws: he plays with "the old baggage". |

 | | plang: I just looked at Lautiers win over Karpov from the Biel 1997 tournament; very nice game. Voted the 7th best game and the 13th best opening innovation (Caro Kann) of Informant #70. The game is not included in this database but I felt it should get some mention. |

Joël Lautier (born 12 April 1973) is a French chess grandmaster. Lautier is one of the strongest grandmasters from France. He was World Junior Chess Championship winner in 1988 on tiebreak at Adelaide, and has won the French Chess Championship in 2004 and 2005. He is in 2005 the second best French GM after Etienne Bacrot . He is also one of the founders of ACP, Association of Chess Professionals (www.chess-players.org). He has been the president of the association in 2004-2005. He is one of only three players (the others being Vassily Ivanchuk and Peter Peter Svidler ) to have beaten every world champion dating back to 1975 (Anatoli Karpov , Garry Kasparov , Vladimir Kramnik , Alexander Khalifman , Viswanathan Anand , Ruslan Ponomariov , Rustam Kasimdzhanov , and Veselin Topalov ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_L...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_L...
<He first came to the attention of the world in 1986 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when, at age 13, he won the World Under-14 Championship by defeating both Sofia Polgar and Judit Polgar. Sofia and Judit tied for second.> <<<Does anyone have <PGN> for these two Lautier-Polgar 1986 games?>>> They are not in the CG.COM database. Thanks. |

| Apr-12-09 | | wordfunph: Trivia: Little Joel Lautier was sent out of the press room by Kasparov in the French town Belfort when he indicated a mistake in analysis by Kasparov, and later the adult Lautier gains a positive score against Kasparov. Happy Birthday GM Joel Lautier!!! |

| Apr-12-10 | | wordfunph: Lautier-Yudasin at the Manila 1990 Interzonal, yoga practitioner GM Leonid Yudasin meditated in lotus position for 20 minutes before making his first move. Some of the players, notably Short and Lautier, chuckled as they watched Yudasin do his act. "A bit strange." observed Chandler from afar. Yudasin lost his game against Joel Lautier. Happy Birthday GM Joel Lautier!!! |

else he started playing seriously when he was just around 3. |
|
| Apr-01-11 | | I play the Fred: Why did Kirsan hand-pick THIS guy, of all the players out there, to take on Anand in 2012? Sure, Lautier was a big-time player when Anish Giri was in diapers, but come on! FIDE is dead to me. |

<A surgeon visits his patient, lying in bed:'I've got good news and bad news, what shall I start with?' asks the doctor 'Please tell me the bad news first.' Says the patient. 'Well the operation failed horribly and we were forced to amputate both of your legs.' 'What good news could you possibly have after that?' asks the shocked and horrified patient. 'Well, the man in the next bed wants to buy your shoes!'> Source: Interview with a Grandmaster |

 | | paulalbert: Joel is totally proficient in Russian, apparently able to pass himself off as a native Russian speaker. Born in Canada of a French father and Japanese mother, I don't know exactly how he developed such a high level of skill in the Russian language, but it's obviously very helpful if your business activities are in Russia. |
