| Feb-23-04 | | zorro: I think Michele is highly underrated. If he had time to train with a strong Gm he could easily go up 2600. What is more he is a fantastic annotator. His column in the italian mag "Torre & Cavallo" is one of the best things ever published in Italy for years. |
 |
| Sep-28-04 | | Karpova: i agree with you, zorro. i once saw a game of him against julian hodgson. he won with black in impressive style. he defended so well and cold-blooded! doesn't seem to be in the database. |
|
| Sep-28-04 | | Karpova: i found the game i referred to ansd sbmitted it. i hope we will find it in here soon |
|
| Dec-14-04 | | zorro: <karpova> Thank you for submitting that great game. What a cold blood of him! |
|
| Mar-08-05 | | Karpova: i once had the game analyzed by GM shipov. shipov always called godena "the italian machine" |
|
| Mar-22-05 | | Karpova: Godena was italian champion in 1993,1994 and 1995 |
|
| Jul-29-05 | | Nobis: <karpova> Can you send me that game? thanks (fr.dll@email.it)
GO MICHELE |

| Feb-22-06 | | plimko: Godena was italian champion in 2005 too. |
|
| Feb-22-06 | | Prugno: Very nice to see our national chess hero as Player of the Day!
Just one thing I would like to add about Godena: his incredible time management. For reasons nobody has ever really understood, he enjoys spending 99% of his thinking time in the opening and early middlegame on very familiar positions. This leaves him with only a few seconds for most of his remaining moves, and yet he manages to play most of them at a near-perfect level (only a few of his rare losses are actually due to time-trouble mistakes), like in Ponomariov vs M Godena, 2003 where he was relying only on the 30-second increment from about move 20 onwards. It's hard to realize how paradoxical this attitude is until you actually witness it, I think.
Vai Michele! |
|
| Feb-23-06 | | Karpova: <Prugno>
this kind of time management could be the cause for him never breaking the 2600 barrier |
|
| Jan-01-07 | | plimko: The 66th Italian Championship was held on November 21st-December 4th in Cremona. GM Michele Godena and IM Fabiano Caruana were tied on the first place but Godena won the rapid/blitz playoff. |

 | | ketchuplover: He's at Reggio/Emilia 2010 1 loss and 2 draws so far |
|
Dec-31-10
| | ketchuplover: Make that 2 losses. |
|
| Dec-31-10 | | Karpova: Huge time trouble today. He was down to a few minutes prior to move 20 already while Gashimov had much more than an hour left. In the final position, Gashimov had 57 min, Godena 3 sec left. This could be observed in the other games also though he came out being a pawn up against Movsesian. |
