| Apr-08-09 | | returnoftheking: You make it sound like it's a big deal.
He is now doing quite well at the russian team championships with wins against Movsesian and a less known GM and draws against Wang Hao, Timofeev and Alekseev. I am still waiting for him to get into the (meaningless) 2700 club. |
 |
| Apr-09-09 | | returnoftheking: Yet another win. |
|
| Jun-11-09 | | WhiteRook48: Happy birthday!! |
|
| Jun-11-09 | | theodor: volo in italian means 'flight'. I wish you never stop flying! |
|
| Jun-11-09 | | returnoftheking: Hear hear!
Let's hope he takes the last few steps to the top. I am sure he can do it! |

| Oct-24-09 | | returnoftheking: A very smooth thematic win for Volokitin today:
Volokitin,Andrei - Johannessen,Leif Erlend [C97]

It's a pity he is now avoiding Volokitin;
7 games in 3 years and only 1 game in the next 3 years,even withdrawing from the ETC in the process;) |

 | | rogge: <...even withdrawing from the ETC in the process;> That's crap, and you know it. Carlsen would've faced Eljanov (who lost against Hammer today). I guess I've had enough of this and other charming posts lately, <rotk>. |
|
| Oct-24-09 | | returnoftheking: Oh, it's just a joke..Didn't you see the ;-) ?
And the game against Johannessen is really instructive. Take it easy rogge, or put me on ignore for a couple of days. I don't want to piss you off but I won't change my tone because of you. It's not like this is the worst post of today or coming from nowhere. |
|
| Oct-24-09 | | returnoftheking: Glad to see you followed my advice, hope it helps..
This is for when you have cooled off:
Regarding the "crap",
did you see the post today attributing Hammer's win over Eljanov to his acquaintance with Carlsen?
Or the comment about Naka being hyped the most? You get it? |

| Jun-11-10 | | wordfunph: <Bill Paschall endlessly repeats his anecdote about GM Andrei Volokitin. They played once and Volokitin imposed his feet into Paschall's territory under the table. It took an arbiter to make the kid move his feet.> i forgot where i got this bit of info..
happy birthday Andrei! |

| Jul-25-10 | | kramputz: Volokitin's Web-site gives he was born on June 18 1986 and not June 11 // |
|
| Jul-25-10 | | bravado1: Poor Volokitin. Nobody invites him anymore. Shame, as he plays one of the most original and uncompromising chess games among chess games among top grandmasters. But he loses too. So it's better, at least financially, to play boring and safe chess as Leko does, than to risk a spectacular loss, I guess. |

 | | cro777: Donostia (Basque for San Sebastián) Chess Festival (held to celebrate the centenary of the 1912 San Sebastián tournament) was unusual in that, following an idea by David Bronstein, the participants played two classical chess games against each other – SIMULTANEOUSLY with opposite colours. It was a knock-out, with the eliminated players continuing in a parallel group. Talking about this new knock-out format, the Donostia organisers made the following announcement before the tournament: “This combination of Bronstein’s old idea and Palacio’s modern analysis we have christened as the ‘Basque System’”. A Spanish-born professor of the London School of Economics, Ignacio Palacios Huerta, who investigated sports results, had revealed that the team which goes first in football penalty shoot-outs had a 60-40 advantage over the team that shoots second. But he had also looked at top-level chess and came to the conclusion that there was a similar advantage for players having white in the first game of chess matches. He mentioned this in a speech during the Bilbao Grand Slam Final in 2010 and it set the Donostia organisers thinking. |

| | cro777: Andrei Volokitin became the winner of the Donostia Chess Festival. In the final match he defeated Viktor Laznichka with a 2:0 score. The match was very tough, and the pressure became so high that the Czech player simply forgot about time in the game where he was playing with the black pieces. Volokitin - Laznichka. Position after 41.Rb5

| Mar-03-12 | | Penguincw: Welcome to 2700, Andrei Volokitin! His recent performance at the Austrian Chess League boosted him up, with 0.2 to spare! |
