| JG27Pyth: Is David's highest rating correct? It shows here as 2614, but on his website his current rating is given as 2416 ... hmmm? |

 |
| JG27Pyth: Well, I just checked the fide site and 2614 is correct. The kid's a good chessplayer but he doesn't update his website very well... :P |

| percyblakeney: Howell seems to have a bit left to be ready for Carlsen and Kramnik in London, three losses in a row in Antwerp now (against Muzychuk, Bacrot and Sutovsky). |

| percyblakeney: Ouch, that's -5 in 6 rounds after losing also against Stefanova today. |

| Ezzy: A nightmare for Howell 'The Howler'
Seems like this is goodbye to his 2600+ rating. |
 |
| Sep-25-09 |
| Ezzy: +0-6=2 for a score of 1/8 and a performance rating of 2302 = OUCH!! |
 |

| Squares: Good Luck the Howel(l)er |

| znnnk: <David Howell's dream of winning the world junior seems to be over. Howell travelled with Nigel Short to Puerto Madryn in Argentina for his last shot at a title he so nearly won last year when a last round defeat playing white pushed him out of the medals. Howell started well with an unbeaten 6/8 but lost to the top seed Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France with black in round nine.> http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/malcolm... |

| Ezzy: David Howell was joint first with Mark Hebden in the 2009 British rapidplay championships. |

| Mr. Bojangles: I saw a clip of this young man for the first time today. I was horrified and shocked at how bad his teeth were. Surely someone must have brought it to his attention. He must see a dentist ASAP for urgent aesthetic treatment. |
 |
| Dec-15-09 |
| JaneEyre: I think he was wearing a brace. But, yes, he didn't look good on the video (so much for hybrid vigour). He looks better from a distance. |
 |

 |
| pawn to QB4: Congratulations, fine result on the big stage; looked every inch a man with the right to be there among those great masters. |
 |
Dec-16-09
 |
| furrer: Yeah, i got the same expierence Mr. Bojangles - it looked really bad... :) He should do something about it! |
 |
| Dec-16-09 |
| Slick Mongoose: I thought the same as Mr Bojangles at first, but it's a gold brace that makes his teeth look yellow. |
 |

 |
| HeMateMe: In the photo he's wearing a school uniform. I guess that would mean a somewhat elite high school for the academically gifted or ambitious. In the USA that would be called "a private school,", but over there i think the order is reversed, their schools for the regular kids are called "private school", and the ones for those with more talent (or money for tuition) are called "public schools."....its a mixed up world, said my Lola...." |

| lancenew: David is the new King of England! |

 |
| mysql: Howell's live rating is 2605.9. Glad he's back on the 2600s. I thought he was on a slump. |
 |
| Dec-24-09 |
| jamesmaskell: His rating was always at risk because of his being highly rated relatively speaking in the World Juniors. His losses hurt his rating hard. |
 |
| Jan-25-10 |
| geezerbloke: <HeMateMe> whilst your inference may be correct in this case, it is quite normal to have a school uniform in England regardless whether it is public or not. |
