Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-29-04   Morty: Rated the third best player in the United States according to fide.com
Dec-03-04   admiralnemo: How old is this guy? Must be in his sixties, no? Still going strong, plays Nakamura today.

  acirce: He's actually even younger than Kasparov :-) Born 1965: http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.ph...
Dec-03-04   admiralnemo: ok, then chessgames.com has another Goldin combined with this Goldin on this page. I'm sure you've noticed the game against Polugaevsky, a brilliant draw, considering that Goldin was -11 years old!

  refutor: i was reading http://www.chesscafe.com/misha/mish... and i found this interesting passage in regards to comments made by alexander goldin

"MS: I remember I read an interview with GM Alex Goldin, where he said that a successful American player can make about $70,000 in a moderately successful year."

is that true? $70K is nothing to sneeze at

Oct-12-05   AlexanderMorphy: another player of the day i have never heard of!

  WannaBe: <refutor: ... is that true? $70K is nothing to sneeze at> I wonder if that's tournament winnings only, not counting if you write books (Eric Schiller) be a tournament arbitor (Eric Schiller) write articles/puzzles for papers (Nigel Short, Ray Keene, etc.) And participate in Geek Cruises (Susan Polgar)...
Oct-12-05   AlexanderMorphy: He is curenly 40 years old(Check his bio) <admiralnemo>
Oct-12-05   centercounter: GM Goldin is very talented apart from chess. He plays acoustic guitar and juggles very well. He is friends with a local chess store/school owner here in Orlando and comes to do simuls/lessons, as well as tournaments.
