May-19-04    Poulsen: Danish GM, former danish Ch, has a pretty solid playing style, making him rather difficult to beat. However, he's isn't playing much - which sometimes makes him vulnerable to well prepared opponents. Plays primarily teamchess - has done well in the german Bundesliga for serveral years. He's born in 1965 - and still able to stay in top 10 of danish chessplayers. Typical win: first he's put under some pressure, then he turns the table J Gdanski vs L Schandorff, 2001 Apr-20-06    BIDMONFA: Lars Schandorff SCHANDORFF, Lars http://www.bidmonfa.com/schandorff_... _ Apr-20-06    sagahelten: Tillykke med fødselsdagen, Lars! Apr-20-06    AlexandraThess: The name is Hungarian... Apr-20-08    Open Defence: <achieve> congrats! :) Apr-20-08    brankat: Happy Birthday Lars! Apr-20-10    wordfunph: Happy 45th Birthday Lars! Apr-20-11    DarthStapler: 420 Birthday, he must smoke weed a lot Dec-26-11    GrahamClayton: Author of "Playing the Queen's Gambit: A Grandmaster Guide" in 2009 and "The Caro-Kann" in 2010. Jan-02-12    acmilan03c1: Lars Schandorff Madsen is the full name: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_S... and also http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skakkl... Aug-04-12    wordfunph: another book by GM Schandorff --- Playing 1.d4, The Queen's Gambit http://www.ukgamesshop.com/Merchant... Aug-04-12    SimonWebbsTiger: @<wordfunph> not quite a new book. It is the second edition of "playing the Queen's Gambit". I saw Lars the other day and asked him what changes there are. One is "It's up to date" (LS). It's the same repertoire he suggested in the first edition. Aug-30-12    brankat: Good morning Mr.Lars Schandorf! Jan-17-13    Rravshan: <Poulsen> the game you mensioned is very nice, i should analyze it. Jan-17-13    Abdel Irada: <DarthStapler: 420 Birthday, he must smoke weed a lot> Unfortunately, this also means he shares a birthday with Adolf Hitler — a buzzkill if ever there was one. Apr-20-13    Everett: He promotes, roughly, Botvinnik's queen's gambit approach in his book. Systematic and interesting. Apr-20-13    TheTamale: Oh, Schanandorff, I long to hear you Away, you rollin' river...
