My peak elo is 2300 but I haven't been active in classical chess tournaments for over 20 years.
My favorite players are: Kasparov, Topalov, Carlsen, Ivanchuk, Morozevich, Aronian, Kramnik
Like most "inactive" chess lovers, I do play blitz on the Internet:
My handle on FICS is: "metatrony"
My handle on chesscube is: "royalbee"
If you want to play, just leave me a message here on chessgames or on FICS.

Apr-18-13 Vladimir Kramnik

metatron2: <polarmis: why is the fact someone's in the Top 5 in the rating list at any moment somehow more important than his form, except it sounds better for you? Radjabov played the tournament with a performance rating of 2627, which isn't even Top 100 play.> First I never said it ...

Apr-01-13 Magnus Carlsen

metatron2: <OCF> its always a pleasant to read your insightful comments about issues you know nothing about, when you probably haven't even bothered reading the relevant posts, other than the first two lines or so..

Mar-31-13 Radjabov vs Carlsen, 2013

metatron2: <chessguru1: I think Zugzwang is still far from the position coz there is still the break f3> Of course I meant that black could have got white into a Zugzwang, <if> he could put his K on c5 <and> put his pawn on a4 (<then> his Ng4 move could be winning). ...

Mar-30-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)

metatron2: <Aronian>'s collapse since round 9 is most surprising to me. He was playing great chess until then, and was leading along with Carlsen, but then something bad happened.. He played a very bad game vs Gelfand, allowing white the menacing protected e pawn passer on move 28 (for

Jan-26-13 Tata Steel (2013)

metatron2: Wow, just saw the Carlsen-Naka game.. Kudos to Carlsen for a powerful game, but I think Naka just set a record here for playing one of the worst Sveshnikov games ever seen.. I mean what the F was he doing there ? Usually black gets a solid game, and we see strategic maneuvering

Oct-08-12 Bilbao Masters (2012)

metatron2: <drik: Elite chess professionals are almost exclusively European or American> Sometimes I wonder whether you write such nonsense on purpose, just trying to "get a way" with the BS without anyone noticing. You just excluded <China> from your list right? I mean the ...

Sep-08-12 Hans Arild Runde

metatron2: Now, I think that there are quite a lot of <similarity> between this behavior and the top fide players playing in <closed elite> tourneys: <1> They don't play much against much lower opposition, that can surprise them in various ways (openings, style, under-rated

Aug-03-12 Biel Chess Festival (2012)

metatron2: <Aug-02-12 dumbgai: Wang Hao wins Biel the same day he wins his third career Olympic silver medal in table tennis!> Yeah that's quite an achievement :) Oddly enough, here http://www.2700chess.com he seems to be rated 2742, But here http://www.ittfranking.com/gen/worl... ...

Dec-19-11 Hikaru Nakamura

metatron2: <rbeast: Carlsen said he's better at evaluating certain positions than Kasparov. I did not hear a SINGLE peep of protest from anybody on cg.com when Carlsen said that> And you really can't see the difference between what they both said? Had Naka said that there were other

May-20-11 World Championship Candidates (2011)

metatron2: Right <chancho>. So you were just verifying what I (correctly) wrote there, or am I missing something here?
