Jan-12-07    Ch3ckmate: hes bullet games in playchess are great entertainment! Jan-19-07    you vs yourself: This guy once was the under 16 world champion. He's an Israeli GM and if I'm not mistaken, he married an American and is now living in NY. Jan-17-08    Joshka: He's on with Mig now covering Corus '08. Jan-06-09    KingG: Here's a video of Har-Zvi deiscussing one of this bullet games. The game is absolutely incredible considering it's 1min chess. I think almost anyone would be proud of it even in classical chess. https://webcast.chessclub.com/blog/... Tim Krabbe has an item on it(no 178): http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/... Jan-06-09    KingG: Here is the PGN btw: [Event "Bullet: 1min'"] [Site "ICC"] [Date "2001.03.07"] [Round "?"] [White "Hawkeye"] [Black "The-Joker"] [Result "0-1"] 1. e4 Nc6 2. Nc3 e5 3. g3 Bc5 4.

Mar-09-09    blacksburg: he thought for 1 second before playing 12...Qh4+. 1 second. ridiculous. Jun-24-10    jrichman38: Ronen now lives in Brownsville,Texas and coaches the UTB team. Feb-27-11    wordfunph: "That's very nice Ronen, but it's not such a glamorous life as you might think. You will spend the next 30 years of your life living out of suitcases and fighting for control of the d5 square." - GM Nigel Davies (counsel to his former student Ronen Har-Zvi who wanted to be a chess professional) Feb-27-11    wordfunph: ...and the next time they met, Ronen told GM Davies that he wanted to be a lawyer. Feb-27-11    Kazzak: @KingG A beautiful game, the bullet you posted. Incredible. Don't see this every day. click for larger view May-07-12    FSR: Har-Zvi's famous bullet game is at Schmaltz vs R Har-Zvi, 2001. May-07-12    FSR: Har-Zvi in Rublevsky-Har-Zvi, 1993 (apparently not published anywhere) was the first to play the extremely important TN 13...d5!! later seen in games like Delchev vs Ivanchuk, 2003. Jul-11-12    BIDMONFA: Ronen Har-Zvi HAR ZVI, Ronen http://www.bidmonfa.com/har_zvi_ron... _ Oct-13-12    waustad: Happy b'day Ronen. I've enjoyed your work sometimes on chessfm.
