May-18-04    Legend: Estonian GM Kaido Kulaots: http://www.maleliit.ee/images/playe... One of the nicest players out there! I`ve read that he is always very friendly and kind to everyone he meets. It`s rare to find guys like him these days... Actually he reminds me a little bit of Paul Keres, both by the looks and by wonderful personality. Plays not very bad either... :) May-18-04    MoonlitKnight: Are all Estonian players that friendly? I heard that Lembit Oll used to be the nicest guy around. Nov-05-05    WTHarvey: Here is a little collection of puzzles from Kaido's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/kula.html Nov-05-05    Eastfrisian: He is born on 28.02.1976. Nov-05-05    shinesaza: Strong player, he plays in a finnish team JyS also. Some of these strong estonians play in finnish club teams, which is very nice.

He is a friend of the Carlsens. In Gausdal January 2000, he and the Carlsens shared a cabin and on the way back to Estonia he spent a night in their Lommedalen home. He borrowed the room of the eldest Carlsen daughter, and the family jokes that he was the first GM in Ellen's bed.> http://www.amazon.com/Wonderboy-Mag... happy birthday GM Kulaots! Mar-23-12    Troller: 3/3 in the European Ch now after beating Roiz in an interesting game in rd 3. Now Kulaots faces MVL with the Black pieces, no easy task. Nice story <wordfunph>.
