 | | aw1988: I just find it insanely funny. Who are we kibitzers? We rank from beginner to very strong, yet a GM is the highest of all titles. Here, we have a GM, a man stronger than all our kibitzers (excluding the titled players ie Day and Keene) who rightfully earned the title, and we have no one bothering to find out who it is! |

and that's the last tournament results I found where he played.

Several players followed with 6.5/9 like Kuzubov, Godena and Arakhamia-Grant! Top seed Vallejo-Pons disappointed with 5.5/9 and 26th place. http://www.calviafestival.com/torne...

at the canadian open id tried to take a snap of IM noritsyn of canada but the guy gave me a stern look that i back off humiliated. he is a very nice guy at icc, a regular observer of nakamura game and a pleasant kibitzer, but things got different in that situation. I compose my self gather a deep breath and stay in the corner.Id seen grandmaster mikhalivski get inside a hall, i go near him and ask if i could take a shot, he smiled and pose, i take 3 pics and these is the best one. |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | unsound: <timhortons> Nice photo. (And I really like that shot you've got on flcikr of the presidents cup--the frame's so crowded it gives it tons of atmosphere.) |
|
| Nov-04-08 | | timhortons: <unsound>, that photo belongs to manny ygpuara, kadsawy of kuwait chess and me cover the tournament, manny ygpuara of filipino kuwait chess association are feeding us news from time to time. i hope 2009 could gather as much grandmaster to montreal, ill be taking more video and photo and make friends with them at icc. |

 | | PhilFeeley: I guess he's a quiet, unassuming guy; no controversial or rude behaviour 'a la Gormally or Kasparov. So he doesn't get much commentary. But I love the fact that he plays in Canada regularly. He's currently playing in the 7th Edmonton Internatonal (http://www.albertachess.org/2012EIC...), and I wish him well. |
|
| Jun-27-12 | | King Death: <PhilFeeley> A lot of the IMs and GMs that I played or met when I was active were the same way. Personalities like Walter Browne were the exception not the rule in my experience. You wouldn't have known for example away from the board that Larry Christiansen was anything special, not that I knew him well but he seemed like a decent guy. Back in the mid 70s it was obvious he was going places, even before he got the GM title. The kid had a great eye for tactics. |

 | | HeMateMe: Looking at the photo, the guy looks happy, well adjusted and normal. Are you SURE he's a chess champion? |
