Apr-19-07  babakova: I don't see what is so ignorant about stating my preferences...And of course Tiger is vastly stronger than me, but what does that have to do with my post? It is not as if I claimed otherwise.
Apr-19-07  bebop1: There is an article about a game between Tiger and Ivan Sokolov on Chessbase, http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... , which unfortunately isn't in CG.coms database. It seems interesting though.
Apr-19-07  sitzkrieg: Aagaard discusses the same game in detail in "Excelling at chess calculation" or something like that. Strange if its really not in the database.
Apr-19-07  Manic: Ok I went to the lecture and saved it and I uploaded the game to the database. Hopefully Chessgames will add it soon. I also have the annotations from the lecture, which were written by Dennis, Jacob Aagaard (not 100% sure, but an Aagaard) and Tiger Hillarp-Persson, so if you need clarification on any lines post on this page or at the game page when it is uploaded.

Apr-19-07  Manic: Okay I forgot to read the post above mine so it looks like it is definitely Jacob Aagaard. Also, it is interesting to note that with 6...h5 Persson deviates from a previous game where he played 6...h6 and in the end lost against A Olssonm (the game isn't in the database).
Apr-20-07  FHBradley: <Tiger Hillarp Persson (born Oct-28-1970) Sweden Grandmaster from Malmo, Sweden.> That's the nices bio I've ever read. Clear, concise, succinct, to the point and gives you all the essential information.
Apr-20-07  bebop1: <Manic> That's very nice of you, thanks!
Aug-02-07  Klas Recke: Although Tiger is a great player he has never had a 2667 rating as the info says. His highest is his current rating of 2568 I believe.
Feb-12-08  fromoort: <FHBradley>Actually, it is redundant. It should read: <Tiger Hillarp Persson (born Oct-28-1970). Grandmaster from Malmo, Sweden.>

  waustad: His present rating of 2586 appears to be his highest so far. After his excellent performance at Corus he could possibly be over 2600.

  suenteus po 147: The current Swedish champion is currently securing his seat in the B Group of Corus 2010. And he's 38 years old! Nice to see some "middle aged" grandmasters with some current successes :)
Jan-28-09  ambongtumbong: the 12th round at Corus will be very interesting. I think if Tiger just draws the game with Wesley So, he will be the champion. A lost will be out of the question.
Apr-01-09  Dredge Rivers: His name is Persson? Who's his second, John Doe? :)
Oct-28-09  Moonstone: Happy Birthday Tiger!

  waustad: It is a shame he never played the Dragon in the database here. Perhaps that pun would be too easy.

  TheFocus: So, is he half man, half tiger?

Isn't that illegal?

Or immoral?

  Cyphelium: <waustad> The reason you cannot find it is because it's a hidden dragon.
