| percyblakeney: The first round of Baku Open (with Kamsky and Mamedyarov) should be going on at the moment but the official home page http://www.azerichess.az/ isn't working and the results should turn up here later: http://chess-results.com/tnr25499.a... |

| albayanon: Kamsky wins Baku 2009,winning his last two to clinch the title,scoring on 6 wins 3 draws. |
 |
| Sep-29-09 |
| justinbel: Kamksy tied for first and was actually second. He had less wins, which was the tie breaker even though he beat the winner with the black pieces. |
 |

| matepawn: Kamsky rejoined 2700 club.His live rating is exactly 2700. |

| M.D. Wilson: I understand that after his match with Karpov, Kamsky abandoned professional chess in order to study medicine. Does anyone know more about this and his reasons? I've never read anything about Kamsky being a qualified doctor. Did he graduate? |
 |

 |
| HeMateMe: He is not a doctor (M.D.), but i believe he received a law degree (j.d.) from Touro Law School in New York City. I have a hunch he speaks more than two languages, and would be a natural at international law, being a go-between between corporate america and russia, or Europe. Unless he tried practicing law for a year, and just didn't like it. A lot of jobs for lawyers are mediocre pay and big time boring. Will, divorces, parking tickets and tax returns, personal injury (ambulance chasers), he may have found being a world class chess player to be more stimulating, and he will probably use the law degree down the road, when he no longer gets invited to the big tournaments. Its hard to read his skill level at this point, he hasn't been real active. I hope he does well in the FIDE event. As the loser of the challange match last year, he is auto-seeded into the Candidates tourney, but if he isn't razor sharp, I don't think he has much chance of winning it. |
 |
| Nov-23-09 |
| M.D. Wilson: Hmm, I'm not sure of his chances either, although he can play outstanding individual games, of which he has many. Thanks for the additional info. |

| frdalupang: Gata Kamsky will play the 16 years old youngster Wesley So (2640)of the Philippines today in the 3rd round of the WCC. So has just eliminated the legendary Vasily Ivanchuk (1.5-0.5) in the 2nd round. So's true mettle will be tested here since Kamsky has always been a top-level player known for his defensive acumen, and very tough at matches. Whatever be the result, it'll be a learning experience for the very young Wesley So. |

| spawn2: <frdalupang>
A battle royale indeed! whatever the result maybe, this match will provide GM Wesley So the experience on what it is like to play against world class opposition. I have always supported GM Gata Kamsky but in this case blood is thicker than water! |
 |
| Nov-27-09 |
| M.D. Wilson: I like Kamsky's style. |
 |
| Nov-27-09 |
| genericsx: sorry kamsky next time resign earlier |
 |
