< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-04-05    ConLaMismaMano: Happy birthday Ruben! Apr-04-05    ConLaMismaMano: And it's 1-0, this must be one of his most precious victories next to the one against Nisipeanu at the recent olympiad. Apr-04-05    falso contacto: well done. great victory against harikrishna. Jul-09-05    falso contacto: first argentinian to go 2600+ Nov-09-05    Robin01: The player of the day should at least have a bio. Nov-28-05    alexandrovm: this guy won today a great game in the lines of the Ruy Lopez, berlin wall variation. Such a great game he played, that made him pass to the next step of the FIDE cup. Him, and Vescovi are the only players left of the south american continent, and only after round one. Nov-28-05    ConLaMismaMano: You forgot Leitao, he's going to play the tiebreak against Jakovenko. Nov-28-05    alexandrovm: <ConLaMismaMano: You forgot Leitao, he's going to play the tiebreak against Jakovenko.> thanks, that counts only 3, 2 brazilians and 1 argentinian. Nov-28-05    ConLaMismaMano: Plus other 3 spanish speaking GMs from a total of 13; Bruzon (Kabanov), Vallejo Pons (Shilong Li) and Arencibia (Smirin) will all play the tiebreaks too. Nov-28-05    who: <falso contacto: first argentinian to go 2600+> What about Miguel Najdorf? Nov-28-05    alexandrovm: the great game he played today is not yet in the database. He had some fair results this year and for some time I thougt he wasn't up to the task, he played a player who is almost as strong as he is (ELO points), let's see what happens the day after tomorrow. Dec-11-05    falso contacto: who:<falso contacto: first argentinian to go 2600+> What about Miguel Najdorf? najdorf was already a strong player when he came to argentina. fide rating system did not exist when najdorf was on the elite. i was comparing felgaer to campora, spangenberg, zarnicki, ricardi.

Felicitaciones y que tengas muchos más exitos Rubén! Aug-14-08    Augalv: Ruben Felgaer won The 83rd Argentine Championship wich took place 30th July - 11th August 2008. IMs Anton Kovalyov, Diego Flores and GM Ruben Felgaer all finished on 8/11. Ruben Felgaer won a rapid (g15+10s/move) playoff amongst these players to take the title. Official site: http://201.216.215.172/torneos/FINA... Congrats Rubén! Feb-05-10    ConLaMismaMano: GM Felgaer has poor nerves but when in form can be a formidable opponent. He's a long time friend of GM Bent Larsen. Larsen has mentioned in various occasions that Felgaer has the talent to reach a 2700+ rating but as i mentioned before he first has to learn to manage his nerves. Apr-04-10    wordfunph: how many players fail to succeed because of the so-called nerves? for one, i know Chucky then GM Ruben Felgaer...who else? count me in...i'm the third. :-) happy birthday GM Felgaer! Jun-11-10    HeMateMe: Isn't there a park or something, named after him, in London? Jul-20-10    falso contacto: clearly not after him.
