 | | keypusher: <ahmadov: <percyblakeney: Gustafsson may be the least kibitzed about player ever to participate in Dortmund.> Yeah, I think it was a bit interesting to find his name in the list of Dortmund participants... However, I also hope that next Dortmund will be a turning point in his chess career... Good luck to him!> Well, he looked pretty good today against Naiditsch.... |

| | DukeAlba: If you notice in the database, Gustafsson hasn't lost a match as white since 2006... at least according to CG. He seems pretty consistent as white. |

However, I also hope that next Dortmund will be a turning point in his chess career... Good luck to him!> I doubt it, since "Gusti" is usually spending more time on playing poker these days. He is one of those numerous Chess players that decided to become a poker pro. Afaik he quit University some years ago (he used to study law), eventhough he might still be immatriculated (which I doubt), he had not attend a course or a lecture there in ages. |

| | Kasputin: I usually cheer for the underdog, and even if he doesn't win Dortmund, it is refreshing to see a different name on the leader board. Obviously a great player but not in the stratisphere of 2750+. I am glad that chess can still hold surprises, that a player can get on a roll and beat others despite a signficant difference in ratings. I don't want to take anything away from the top rated players. They deserve the respect and attention garnered by their excellent play. Still it is nice to see that chess isn't always predictable. |

| Jul-15-08 | | myschkin: "... Auch nach 1. d4 d5 können sehr scharfe Varianten entstehen, gerade in Slawisch und Halbslawisch, das hat man ja in den Partien gegen Ivanchuk und Naiditsch gesehen. Aber eins ist natürlich richtig: Ich bin von Natur aus kein „Totschläger“, der aus der Eröffnung heraus zu gewinnen versucht. Normalerweise stelle ich mich erst mal solide hin und versuche dann in Spielstile überzulenken, die ich gerne mag..."

 | | whiteshark: Jan recently finished a Fritz Trainer CD on <The Marshall Attack> "The Marshall Attack is one of the most dynamic replies Black has at his disposal against 1.e4. At the cost of a pawn, Black takes over the initiative from the get - go and goes after the white king. Wrongly considered to be mainly a drawing weapon by some, this DVD offers many new ideas for Black, showing how to keep the queens on the board and to play for a win in almost all cases. Unfortunately White is not obliged to enter the Marshall. This is part 1 of a twopart series that will provide the viewer with a complete repertoire against 1.e4. The disk deals with all white options after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0. In 17 chapters with a total runtime of three hours and 45 minutes, all the subtleties of the Marshall and Anti-Marshall will be revealed. Video running time: 3 hrs 45 min. The author is grandmaster Jan Gustafsson. Rated 2646, <Jan is one of the leading German players and one of the world’s biggest Marshall specialists.> More about Jan can be found on www.jan-gustafsson.de Check out for 2 video examples: http://www.chessbase.com/shop/produ... |

| May-15-11 | | wordfunph: "German Olympian Jan Gustafsson was motivated to learn poker when he went to New York City to visit his friend Yakov Hirsch, who was once a chess coach struggling to pay the rent. Yakov had just become a poker pro, had already bought a fancy car and designer clothes, and was dining regularly in restaurants like Nobu and Peter Lugar's, among the most expensive in New York City. Impressed by his friend's newfound luxury, Jan convinced Yakov to teach him. Only a year and a half later, Jan is making three times as much money in poker than he earns in chess. Still, he divides his time equally between the two games." - Jennifer Shahade (NIC Mag 2006 #1) |

 | | boz: Not anymore. Briliant piece cordination to win with three pieces vs. queen. Gustaffson had the all important extra pawn but he had to work hard to get it. |

| Jun-01-11 | | progrock64: He won eventually because his opponent could not find a winning line under time pressure. I wonder how Gustafsson could miss that Bb4 combination in the first place though. |

| Jul-20-12 | | zoren: About his ongoing disaster at Dortmund...
It's been a perennial problem for Gusti, which is his laziness at the board (and sometimes off) at the professional level. His theoretical knowledge and solid play allows him to put up good results but if nobody is walking into his pet lines or letting him get comfortable, he shows relative weakness for a player of his strength. These problems are exacerbated due to his opening repertoire being an open book. Also, he often makes remarks about his own dislike for particular positions, and endgames overall. It is not very surprising that these factors are spots where he is getting in trouble, especially against players that have the skill set to exploit. All that being said I hope he recovers - I was a fan of GodGusti since his commentaries on ICC during Kramnik - Anand match and his contributions to Chess.FM which brought a lot light on the issues facing professional chess players. |

| | whiteshark: <zoren> I think he really lacks practice for the last 12 months or so. In fact he's having a full time job since then in a chess software startup (http://www.cisha.de/index.php/en/), so his spare time is also ltd. |
