Nov-01-10		Whitehat1963: Pengxiang seems to be a really strong endgame player, at least as far as I can tell.

Nov-27-11		wordfunph: anecdote from Bobby Ang's Inside Philippine Chess.. <Zhang Pengxiang-Irzhanov 1999 Shenyang Asian Team Championship: After the 40th move, Zhang's right eye was observed to be very red and teary. It seemed that in mutual panic time as rooks, pawns, knights and bishops were darting all over the board, one of the pieces had struck his eye. The Arbiter offered to suspend the game to consult a doctor, but Zhang wouldhave none of it. He stood up, waved aside the eye drops that his teammates were offering him, took out his handkerchief, covered his right eye, and continued the game one-eyed."> no guts, no glory :)

Jun-29-13		Tomlinsky: Our esteemed Player of the Day was involved in a truly spectacular game of our times. Unfortunately on the losing side... V Zvjaginsev vs Zhang Pengxiang, 2006
