< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 5 OF 5 ·  Later Kibitzing > Jul-30-09    Gambitor: Vachier deserves 4 pictures after winning this strong tournament. Jul-31-09    laskersteinitz: MVL's rating after Biel should rise to about 2720. (I used the USCF calculator to reach this figure. It may be off by a little. Here is the link to the useful ratings calculator: http://main.uschess.org/content/vie...) Aug-01-09    Don Cossacks: Congratulations GM Maxime!I hope you finally solve the Nakamura riddle that seems to be a massive wall to you!

Aug-01-09    Jason Frost: <laskersteinz> Chess live gives 2012 with other events that he played. Still very impressive though. Kindof reminds me of a very young Radja, contentiously going for imaginative complications, even in worse positions. Aug-01-09    vanytchouck: the biography needs to be update too. He nothing but the first ever to win a cat 19 tournament. Aug-04-09    Dredge Rivers: He wins a big tournament like Biel, and no photo? What gives? (BTW, does he win a date with Jessica?) Aug-05-09    laskersteinitz: Do you mean the first Frenchman? Aug-07-09    OhioChessFan: http://www.greekchess.com/euro2007/... Scroll down to the 4th pic Aug-14-09    percyblakeney: MVL is really playing well at the moment, in the French Championships he has beaten GM opponents in 20 and 23 moves and is sole leader with 3.5/4. Oct-30-09    nelech: allez Maxime j'espère que tu vas gagner ce championnat du monde et que tu pourras ensuite attirer les sponsors que mérite ton immense talent . Le monde des echecs attend des rivaux pour Magnus Carlsen .

Nov-04-09    Billy Vaughan: Congratulations. I look forward to seeing more of MVL in the future :) Nov-04-09    laskersteinitz: Vachier-Lagrave basically <exclusively> plays 1. e4. I wonder if that's an advantage at the elite level, or a liability. Nov-05-09    BadKnight: this guy is an awesome tactician. Nov-09-09    BadKnight: I just noticed that he is a master of queen sac. many of his notable games feature queen sac. Nov-09-09    technical draw: Carlsen has won all 3 games that he's played against Vachier. But that was 3 years ago (according to the database). I would like to see how they measure up today. I'll put up $1,000,000 dollars for a 12 game match. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Nov-09-09    Raisin Death Ray: The champion of everyone named Junior!
