| I3illieJoe: Thanks a lot. That answers a lot of questions. The question remaining is...why would somebody like Nakamura join that group? What does Nakamura have to do with all this? |

| VinnyRoo2002: I think it's important to note that a facebook group is a rather silly thing which has little to no importance. It isn't like joining Green Peace or even a college organization. There are thousands of facebook groups, and most if not all of them are for entertainment purposes rather than anything of substance. As for Nakamura's joining the group, maybe he has met Lenderman a few times and didn't like him, or maybe he is friends with Sal. My guess is that Nakamura didn't think much of joining the group and just thought it'd be funny. I know many people are probably taking the group seriously and find it to be a malicious attack against Lenderman. And I understand that concern, and indeed the group probably is defaming Lenerman. But in this instance, we must take the group for what it is, facebook is pretty much a site for college students to post pictures of themselves getting drunk and other miscellaneous activities that young, immature college students engage in. I think to look at the group from any other perspective would be misunderstanding what facebook is. Lastly, this may not be so relevant, while the substance of facebook may be unsubstantial, the website is worth a couple of billion dollars. |

| zoat22: i have met mr.lenderman many times, and have found him an intolerably arrogant person, who refused to say thank you when I lent him my chess clock, and who was very rude when I tried to speak to him... he may be a strong player, however, he should not act in this manner, or he will be hated (although i fear that he already is) |
|

| pebble767: I just recently met and talk to IM Lenderman in recently held 2008 World Open and he seems to be very nice, as in one of the nicest titled person I met. Actually the day before I talked to him I thought he was grouchy, then the following day he was in a very nice mood and he explained to me that he had a terribble headache the day before. I may not know him personally but that first impression of mine will surely last. |

| swordfish: Lenderman is in a six-way tie for first in the U.S. Open with two rounds to play. He has good chances to get at least a share of first prize in the tourney. |

| Johnny O: Lenderman earned his third GM norm on July 5, 2009 at the World Open in Philadelphia. |

| HeMateMe: Interesting stories above about Lenderman's relationship with fellow players. A lively book, "Kings of New York" describes some of these players, and the new york high school chess scene....and if you end up in Washington Square Park, well, its not the romantic sort of thing described in SFBF, it means you're a hustling chess bum. I wonder if he will join the first ranks. At age nineteen, he may not get much better. He'd be smart to take one of those college chess scholarships, I think Texas has a couple of them, maybe Pennslyvania has a couple. |

| HeMateMe: Lenderman wins the Marshall:
"The club, on West 10th Street in Manhattan, is one of the oldest and, based on its membership, strongest in the country. The club is named after Frank J. Marshall, the United States champion from 1909 to 1936. Marshall was a swashbuckling player, and he would have appreciated many of the games at this year’s tournament. The field included eight grandmasters and three international masters. The runaway winner was Alex Lenderman, 20, of Brooklyn. The victory capped off a good year for him: He tied for first at the Philadelphia International tournament in late June, and he tied for third at the World Junior Chess Championship in Argentina in the fall. Based on his performances in 2009, Lenderman qualified for the grandmaster title. In Round 7 at the Marshall tournament, Lenderman sacrificed his queen against Irina Krush, an international master. It was a speculative combination that should have failed, but Lenderman got away with it." Lenderman is one of the featured subjects in the book <"Kings of New york",> about the brooklyn high school chess power, Edward R. Murrow High. |

| wanabe2000: IM Lenderman USA 2560 just defeated
GM Friedman GER 2654 in round 10 to finish 2010 Gibraltar with 7.5/10. A fine performance which should net a GM norm. |
|
| Feb-05-10 |
| mrriddler: Didn't he have the required GM norms months ago? What happened? Pretty sure he has been IM/GM Elect for a longer period than Ray Robson or Robert Hess. |
|

|
| HeMateMe: In Round 7 at the Marshall tournament, <Lenderman sacrificed his queen against Irina Krush,> an international master. It was a speculative combination that should have failed, but Lenderman got away with it." That would be an interesting one to play through, but its not in the data base here. Are club tournaments not deemed important enough to produce games for the database? |

|
| dx9293: <mrriddler> FIDE rejected his GM title application because they thought there were "pairing irregularities" in one of the tournaments where he achieved a norm. The funny thing about it is, the pairing irregularities DID NOT involve Lenderman! His 4th GM norm was the Marshall Championship, and his 5th norm is the shared first place in Gibraltar (he actually clinched a 9-game norm even before his last game). |
|
Feb-05-10
|
| dx9293: <HeMateMe> In this case, it was an international tournament with 7 GMs and 4 IMs (counting Lenderman as an IM and not a GM). But yeah, the games should be here. |
|

|
| HeMateMe: pairing irregularites....would that be a string of whites, against the bottem of the field? |

| desiobu: <HeMateMe> I think Lenderman vs. Krush is the 4th game down here: http://main.uschess.org/content/vie... |
|

|
| HeMateMe: <desiobu> thanks for the directions, I just played through it. Nice combo. Looks like a puzzle from a tactics book. I don't see the finish, though. white has two pieces for the Queen, but there is no mate, and I don't see white picking up any more bodacious material. Does anyone see the finishing line for this? |
|
| Feb-06-10 |
| mrriddler: For the Lenderman-Krush game. It's there I think. If Black king moves: 32... Kg7, 33. Nh5+, Kg6 34. Rg8+ is winning material/mate. If not: 32...Rf6. 33. Rd8d7! Can't imagine double rooks on seventh being bad here. Although I can't find a win myself after 33...Qb1 defending h7. Eh, well I think white can win the a-pawn and push his own? Lenderman must have a much more efficient win. |
|
Feb-06-10
|
| HeMateMe: In the game notes krush said that Lenderman would win more material, thats whey she resigned, but the best line wasn't given. She also said that she missed a defensive resource a move or two earlier, her back rank rook is on the wrong file; otherwise AL can't make the Queen sac. |
