  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?)

  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 .

  laskersteinitz: Vachier-Lagrave basically <exclusively> plays 1. e4. I wonder if that's an advantage at the elite level, or a liability.

  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.
