| TheScroobiousPip: That's a pretty serious expression he's got in that picture. |

| wordfunph: "It is very interesting to analyze with Karpov. The only thing you have to be aware of is that he will claim a decisive advantage in any position."
GM Teimour Radjabov |

| ArmeniaNL: Radjabov does not seem to be comfortabel among fellow Armenians, look here
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
To be honest I am bit surprised to see him in that table |

| ArmeniaNL: By the way, in the above link you can find out that Teimur Radjabov is a relative to a formaer world champion Boris 'Radjabov' :)))))))))) nice photo, indeed with comments |

| hellopolgar: the difference between Radjabov and Carlson:
1, Radjaboy is steady and stable, he doesn't have that "i am not afraid of anything" attitude that Carlson has. it probably has to do with the fact that Carlson comes from a first world country while Radjaboy comes from a third world country. 2, Skill/talent/intuition wise, i'd say these two are about equal. However, Carlson had help from Kasparov and plays like Kasparov, sharp. on the other hand, Radjaboy is a positional player like Karpov/Kramnik, to be a great positional player, you need to play tons of games and mature, which is exactly what Radjaboy is doing now. 3, Radjaboy is a master in KID, thus he often performs better with black than white, on the other hand, Carlson doesn't seem to have any specialties (in other words, is good with everything). 4, Radjaboy is way more handsome than Carlson. (just teasing, but I am a Radjaboy fan not a Carlson fan) 5, I have a feeling that Radjaboy will grow into a better player than Carlson. Carlson's success seems to have a lot to do with the modern technology (chess engines-aided) chess training and Kasparov's help. I just feel that his success will be short-lived. |

| Blunderdome: Everyone who's played White against Teimour in Astrakhan has gone with the English. Guess they're scared of the KID... |

| bharatiy: Congratulations to Radjabov, there will be few more high profile KIDs, I love that. |

| percyblakeney: Radjabov finished second in the Grand Prix series 2008-10, not a bad achievement to end up far ahead of players like Ivanchuk, Svidler, Leko, Karjakin and Gelfand. He was shared first, sole second and shared second in the three events that counted, and in the final table that gave him a margin of 56 points down to Grischuk in third. Radjabov will need to play better in the Candidates though, but in minimatches anything can happen. |

| muradov: Congrats to Teymur!
He has established himself as a top player and fully deserves a shot for the WC. I have two hopes. That he works very hard on his white openings and someone dares to play KID vs. him in the Candidates :) |

| Billy Vaughan: My hope was that Van Wely would miraculously make it to the candidates to fight Radja's KID. Alas... |
|

| Everett: Has Radja left d4 because he is protecting his KID? Since many seem to be avoiding his KID nowadays perhaps this is not a good strategy. Why not a straight up KIA repetoire? |

| Mr. Bojangles: This guy's King's Indian is most impenetrable fortess in chess right now. His expertise and creativity are quite remarkable. |

| Jafar219: Please, who can calculate the winning percentage of Radjabov`s KID? |

I just feel that his success will be short-lived.> Kasparov didn't help Carlsen that much. Carlsen was already a top player before he saw Kasparov. Time will tell how long it last. As for Radjabov he had a hard time staying ahead of fellow countrymen. Entering top ten again is also a fine achievement . He will meet Carlsen quite a lot in the years to come,and we'll see |

| talisman: <Eric Schiller> <Radjabov's time has come and gone.> I have 2 of your books but this is an incorrect statement. |
|
| Jun-27-10 |
| Blunderdome: What an absurd thing to say about a 23-year-old. |
|
| Jun-27-10 |
| Mr. Bojangles: Absurd and stupid statement really. The guy is still improving, and seems to be over his bad spell. |
|
| Jun-27-10 |
| Jim Bartle: Depends on what is meant by his "time." If it means he's no longer a top player who's going to continue improving, it's wrong. If it means his time as the #1 up-and-coming star is over, it's true. Something similar has happened with sprinters. American Tyson Gay has improved greatly in the 100 meters, is an outstanding runner, but he's been overshadowed by Usain Bolt, who's been destroying records wherever he goes. |

| tamar: I think his mindset is still that of a counter-attacker, as shown by his White openings at the Kings Tournament. The only guy who had this style and made it work was Korchnoi, and he had to reinvent himself in his forties to surpass Spassky and Petrosian. He is a bright star, but unless the supernovas fade, or he changes his approach, he is destined to one among many rather than The One. |

| talisman: i have always liked this guy because he reminds me of the young fischer who was set in his ways early on in his openings.even shares some of the same openings. |
|
| Jun-28-10 |
| Everett: Perhaps <Eric Schiller's> time never came and thus never left, relegating him to kibitz with us amateurs. |
