Rolfo Member since Aug-24-06 · Last seen Nov-26-09 I am far more a chess lover than chess player. The youngsters are too quick for me. I will mention three names which contributes to my chess interest. My first great favourite player was Bobby Fischer, I read all I could find in the newspapers during the 1972 World Championship match against Spasskij. Then I followed Simen Agdesteins nice performance in the eighties and nineties. My last favourite is the young and great Magnus Carlsen. I do all I can to follow his play live on internet. Great entertainment which really make me relax from all other burden and responsibility. I have read a lot of important chess history and bio of many great players. I follow kibitzing a lot, even though I seldom participate myself. I have serious respect for all the knowledge I see demonstrated in the kibitzing sessions, even so I think some hotties could put a little restraint on themselves. Anyway I love it because people engage in something important for themselves and their chess friends. I live in Nothern Norway where people is nice, summer is light and winter is dark.

Rolfo has kibitzed 3554 times to chessgames   [more...]

Nov-25-09 Magnus Carlsen    Rolfo: <slomarko><Btw me a trainer? You have to be kidding, I still have hopes to launch my chess carreer as soon as some talent scout notices me.> good, I thought you didn't play very much OTB      Nov-25-09 Wesley So    Rolfo: So well!!      Nov-25-09 Bureaucrat chessforum    Rolfo: Where can I find sane people? oh here, thanks a lot :)      Nov-23-09 World Cup (2009)    Rolfo: waustad, yes indeed! I see for section 8 that Kamsky will probably meet Sutovsky (his friend and partly trainer/manager). Interesting      Nov-22-09 Carlsen vs Kosteniuk, 2009    Rolfo: <Why do you suppose he hasn't been offered an opportunity to endorse cigars?> Clinton may have taught him a trick or two :)      Nov-19-09 World Blitz Championship (2009)    Rolfo: <Will there be a World Rapid Championship this year anywhere? Was it held already?> There is this ACP organised thing in Odessa sponsored by Pivdenny Bank or something like that. Used to be in January/February.      Nov-15-09 Viswanathan Anand    Rolfo: I wouldn't weight this loss too much. Anand also played below usual level before the Kramnik match.. I am sure he has analysed some better lines which he keeps for later use      Nov-15-09 Tal Memorial (2009)    Rolfo: Kamikaze, it has turned out to be the Major international chess event in Russia, and one of the most important in all      Nov-15-09 Sergey Karjakin    Rolfo: <As Sergey said, his decision to change citizenship was mostly because of the coaches. Nothing wrong with that.> Nothing wrong, I guess Karjakin has thought deeply on this descision which also has personal and national implications. Ukraina is a great chess nation, Ivanchuck, ...      Nov-14-09 Vladimir Kramnik    Rolfo: Quite an achievement of Kramnik. Congrats. And he plays much tougher than pre Bonn
