Hi all ! My name is Spyros Sfikas and I live in Nafpaktos - Greece. I love playing chess by the sea with my 88 year old chessmate named Panos, and listening to his funny quotes:

May-22-13 FIDE Grand Prix Thessaloniki (2013)

spysfi: Kamsky-Dominguez 1-0 after a Monday puzzle blunder. Press conference now on air.

Apr-26-13 Ponomariov vs Nakamura, 2013

spysfi: <@clancho>Didn't see anybody laughing in the video where Naka blundered. I also think that especially Sasha show sympathy and understanding. Maybe I'm wrong (or just another Naka fanatic)...

Jan-07-13 Tata Steel (2013)

spysfi: C'mon U.S champ... Do it again !

Oct-12-12 Caruana vs Aronian, 2012

spysfi: Ca-Ca-Carua

Aug-25-12 Nikolaos Kalesis

spysfi: A great chess talent and guy. He gave a big simultan (more than 30 local players) in Nafpaktos-Greece yesterday. And of course he crushed me...

Aug-01-12 Nakamura vs Wang Hao, 2012

spysfi: From my point of view, Nakamura followed a well scheduled plan and it is a pity that he went completely wrong in move 32. Nd2 ? Ι think that if they could play 100 games starting from any game position between moves e.g. 14-31, Nakamura takes 95... or at least he should if he ...

May-15-12 Nakamura vs Y Shulman, 2012

spysfi: It's ok... Naka wants to play for the win.

Jan-12-12 Hikaru Nakamura

spysfi: Naka can make +3, +1 or even -1 . It depends on his approach to the tournament rather than his opponents abilities. This young American is as talented as Magnus, but has to work and stay focused in order to make everybody believe in his chess genius. GO NAKAZILLA !!

Dec-09-11 Anand vs Nakamura, 2011

spysfi: So, Bronkenstein, don't you think that speaking about "objective" evaluation (arguing about "truth" and ability to measure as in particle physics), is a little bit more complicated than this kibitzing ... in such a chaotic system as chess?
