  whiteshark: <ex0duz: <Does this guy ever smile?>> There is no need to smile when a strange person with a camera appear out of thin air right in front of you and take a picture without asking, or is it?

Some counter evidence:

Jan Gustafsson is instead going to the Olympiad as captain for the Danish team.

  alexmagnus: <Very diplomatic :)>

Well, the letter had a long pre-history (Gustaffson's open letter, withdrawal of the A-team, "support cut" for the four players).

There were also problems around the B-Team (the best player in which will be #14 of German rating list) from Khenkin, who is #5 but was not "invited" because he is too old. Bu that belongs to Khenkin's page.

<Final Weekend of the Bundesliga 2010-11 (14-15)

The final rounds 14 and 15 of the Schachbundesliga took place 9th-10th April 2011. OSC Baden-Baden had a two point lead over Werder Bremen (who they met on Saturday and beat 5-3) and SC Eppingen. (Shirov-Eljanov and Svidler Gashimov were the top pairings, Baden Baden player is first named). There would have been a play-off if the teams finish level on match points. <<<Arkadij Naiditsch (OSG Baden-Baden) made 13.5 out of 15 to be the top scorer winning both his final weekend games.>>> Bremen beat Eppingen in Round 15 to take 2nd place on tie-break. OSG Baden-Baden routed Delmenhorster SK who were relegated with no points to win the title for a 6th time and were four points clear. The conceded just one match draw throughout the season. See the body of the article for Georgios Souleidis' preview of the round.>

This performance ought to earn Naiditsch a bunch of elo points, a +12(!) score in 15 games, 13.5-1.5.

  shivasuri4: Naiditsch's performance at Baden-Baden can be divided into 2 curious parts.

Against the top two finishers Anand and Caruana, he went 0/4, which would undoubtedly dismay him. On the other hand, he scored 4/6 against the rest, including 1.5/2 against Adams

With just 2 draws, he showed his aggressive side yet again. Particularly notable was his round 6 win against Fridman: D Fridman vs Naiditsch, 2013.

Mar-11-13  joeyj: Arkadij Naiditsch was <15yrs-5mos-27days> when he qualified for the GM title @ Lviv’s Spring 2 on 21 April 2001.
