Sep-03-07    Karpova: IM from Russia who was born in 1993. Pictures: http://www.chessbase.de/2004/aerofl... http://www.monroi.com/tournamentgat... http://www.chessbase.com/news/2007/... Oct-13-07    Karpova: Sanan Sjugirov dominated the U14 section at the 17th European Youth Championship 2007 just like Nyzhnyk did in the U12 section but somehow doesn't receive as much attention: http://www.euroyouth2007.com/boys/9... He scored 8.5/9 with the runner up having 7/9. Nov-16-07    Karpova: Another great perfromance by Sanan Sjugirov winning the Femida 2007 Men's cup with 8/11 points against an average rationg of 2465 http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... He was a full point ahaead of the two runners-up and didn't lose a single game. Btw, chessbase says he was from Ukraine but he plays for Russia http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.ph... Nov-22-07    Tomlinsky: Good grief. Check this 14 year-old's play at the Femida Super (2007). Has he undergone Sicilian implants? Extremely versatile for one so young, thoroughly absorbing games. Nov-28-07    Karpova: World Youth Chess Championships 2007 U14 http://wycc2007.tsf.org.tr/componen... Sanan Sjugirov won ahead of Marcel Kanarek (from Poland) - both had 9.0/11. Jan-29-08    Maatalkko: Is this the prodigy who was profiled in The Chess Artist? Or is that someone else? In that book, there was a Kalmyk child aged seven who was responsible for some incredible achievements. He was well-rewarded by Illyumzhinov for his talent and effort. Feb-26-08    JCHallman: Maatalko, Yes, this is Sanan from my book. I google him every once in a while to see how he's doing. Glad you made the connection... J.C. Hallman jchallman.com Mar-27-08    Timothy Glenn Forney: JCHallman ,I really enjoyed your book! I wrote a review of it at amazon,and I put the Umstead games from the book in pgn format and they are now in the database.http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member... Dec-05-08    whiteshark: Grandmaster title approved to him at the 79th FIDE Congress which was held 16-26 November 2008 in Dresden, Germany. Congratulations! Dec-18-08    Karpova: Interview with his trainer GM Andrey Zontakh: <Between Sanan's tournaments we have meetings of 10-12 days or two weeks. During this time I come to his place every day and we spend plenty of time analyzing opening theory, the games we have played, some concrete or typical positions. While preparing for the next tournaments we are training with a computer and learning chess literature. Sometimes Sanan goes to Samara or Tolyati where the famous coach and GM, Yury Yakovich’s games are taking place.> Source: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

Mar-10-09    jon01: <notyetagm: He beat Van Wely like Chris Brown beat Rihanna.> I bet Chris Brown didn't sacrifice his bishop on 9th move already!
