| Sep-26-10 | | morphy2010: I often encourage my students with the reminder that they can learn much more from their lost games than from games that they win. This has been affirmed by several world champions, and I once saw Karpov quoted to the effect that he had to lose 200 to 300 games before he became any good as a chessplayer. Of course, by his standards, being "any good as a chessplayer" probably meant winning the World Junior Championship! |

 | | twinlark: He seems to be an under appreciated player for his strength, and for the beauty of his games. Well done so far, GM Baadur! In the third round, he meets the equally awesome Dmitry Jakovenko. |
|
| Feb-11-12 | | Penguincw: Congratulations to Baadur Jobava, who has now defeated 5 (!) people named "Pavel" in his career. Pavel Eljanov, probably the most famous one. Eljanov was World #6 once in 2010, and has a highest rating of 2755, tied for 24th all-time best. Eljanov vs Jobava, 1999
Jobava vs Eljanov, 2010
Pavel Tregubov, a Russian GM, also finished tied for second once in a Russian Championship, ahead of many great players, including Andrei Kharlov, Dmitry Jakovenko and Vladimir Potkin. Jobava vs P Tregubov, 2001
Jobava vs P Tregubov, 2010
Pavel Smirnov, another Russian GM, who knocked out Levon Aronian in FIDE World Championship Knockout Tournament (2004) (Round 3, also see Aronian vs P Smirnov, 2004 for his black win). P Smirnov vs Jobava, 2004
Pavel Maletin, another Russian GM (Jobava seems to have ease defeating Russian GMs *)! Jobava vs P Maletin, 2008
Pavel Tregubov, sighs, ANOTHER Russian GM. Jobava vs P Tregubov, 2010
And lastly, the newest member,
Pavel Ponkratov. I bet you can guess his nationality and title. :) Jobava vs P Ponkratov, 2012
*Luckily, he never defeated the greatest (e.g. Kasparov, Kramnik, Svidler, Karjakin, etc.) However, he did take down Alexander Grischuk, twice (Jobava vs Grischuk, 2004 and Jobava vs Grischuk, 2009 but still with a -2 record). |

| Jul-10-12 | | MountainMatt: <twinlark: He seems to be an under appreciated player for his strength, and for the beauty of his games.> Indeed, and this still seems to be the case. He's number 21 in the world, and I had never heard of him until today! Currently enjoying a (to-date) peak rating of 2730. Definitely another player to watch, now that I know he's out there! |
