Jan-06-06    BIDMONFA: Maxim Rodshtein RODSHTEIN, Maxim http://www.bidmonfa.com/rodshtein_m... _ Sep-23-07    technical draw: Wow! Whos is this? For me a strong unknown female GM....Bio and Picture please!! Sep-23-07    refutor: <technical draw> note that maxim rodshtein played in the Boys U18 championship so i don't think it's a female GM Sep-23-07    technical draw: <refutor> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_... Right you are. Gender mistake. Here's a bio: Feb-19-08    TheBB: I played this guy in a simul once. He definitely possesses the property of nonfemaleness. In other news, he's (one of) the scourge(s) of Aeroflot these days: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Jul-24-08    ravel5184: Anyone who wants to see more games of <TheBB> come to my forum and watch the show! ravel5184 chessforum Nov-25-08    notyetagm: Rodshtein just won team Silver (Israel) and individual Silver (Board 5) medals at the Dresden Olympiad. Feb-23-09    timhortons: <In other news, he's (one of) the scourge(s) of Aeroflot these days:> he say early bye in aeroflot 2009, play real bad. Nov-18-09    walker: This guy is so young, has achieved 2650 rating and is not widely known. When will be his next tournament? Nov-18-09    walker: I see now...<He is currently an Israeli Air Force soldier> Mar-17-10    Tabanus: 8th place and 2728 perf. in European Championship 2010: http://www.chess-results.com/tnr295... Jul-21-10    zluria: Good Luck at Biel, Maxim! Maxim kicked off with a fine win against Negi, in which he made Nagi "look like a child": M Rodshtein vs Negi, 2010 . Black offers the exchange with 8. ... b5, but Rodstein's sharp eye discerns that he can win rather easily by declining the offer and instead attacking the weakened Queenside. Jul-21-10    polarmis: Not the most elaborate comment ever made, but Gelfand has this to say about Rodshtein in a recent interview: <Is there any promising chess star in Israel? Who would you point to as a potential 2700 player in the coming years? I think Maxim Rodshtein is the most promising. He assisted me in Khanty-Mansiysk, and I got to know him better there. He’s got all the requirements to get to 2700 in the next few years. Again I really hope that it works out for him. And I’ll try to help.> http://www.chessintranslation.com/2... Jul-21-10    nanobrain: But Negi seems to be off-form. Let's see how he fares with So today. Aug-15-10    Tabanus: 7th in Biel: http://www.bielchessfestival.ch/en/... 2nd in Politiken Cup (Denmark) 31 July - 8 August 2010: http://www.ksu.dk/politiken_cup/tur... Aug-29-10    Tabanus: Winner with 2744 perf. of Open de Sants (Spain) 20-29 August 2010: http://www.chess-results.com/tnr370... Aug-28-11    solskytz: Had the honor of beating him once in Active chess, when he was an 2100 rated child prodigy (I was some 300 points lower). We got a totally equal and totally dynamic position with many pieces and possibilities, where we both had 3 minutes on the clock... and probably experience and maturity played a role.
