| Micah Hughey: I'm going to pick up Shirov at the airport in Edmonton on Wednesday night for the Canadian Open! ( www.edchess.ca ) Any Edmontonians who want to come and meet him also, his flight arrives at 6:59 PM this Wednesday (July 15). Flight AC157 from Toronto. He is usually happy to autograph copies of "Fire on Board". |

| alexrawlings: Don't know if someone's already posted this, but I found this interview of Shirov after the M-Tel Masters: http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/a... |

| hellopolgar: shirov's record against kasparov is 17 losses 0 victory...imo the canceled "championship match" probably wouldn't have mattered anyways. |
|
| Aug-26-09 |
| Petrosianic: Probably not, though Kasparov would still have been obligated to play it, had the funding come through. It's no surprise though, that nobody wanted to pay to see that match. |
|

| Whitehat1963: I think it's finally safe to say that Shirov's career tragectory is in descent. I doubt he'll ever make it back into the top 10. |
|
| Sep-13-09 |
| ycbaywtb: remember how Ivanchuk recently had plummeted to 30th and 2703 , but vaulted himself right back into top 10 ratings again lately, Shirov could do it, i'm not saying he will, just that it's happened before. |
|
| Sep-13-09 |
| Whitehat1963: True, but I always considered Ivanchuk as better all around and generally more consistent. |

| talisman: <"the cancelled championship...would not have mattered."> most would say kasparov would have won hands down.i would. what i would also say is that it was a shame that we were robbed of the games from a fan's standpoint. those games would have been exciting for me to watch. i would also say that it was a shame that Gary would be IN CHARGE of a Championship Cycle that would reward and pay the loser, kramnik, and not pay and screw the winner, shirov. |

| Open Defence: <"the cancelled championship...would not have mattered."> forget about the result.. Shirov was left with all his bills to pay and not a cent for his wins upto then... |

| talisman: <Open Defence> that's right...then he goes home to find his wife has cleaned out the apartment and the bank account and will soon be his ex-wife. |

| Open Defence: < talisman: <Open Defence> that's right...then he goes home to find his wife has cleaned out the apartment and the bank account and will soon be his ex-wife.> whooaa Shirov must be overly trusting in money matters... |

 |
| refutor: <whooaa Shirov must be overly trusting in money matters...> i would say naive...but understandably so! he just won the candidates match and was going to play a world championship match when he was 26! i would be optimistic that everything was going to work out as well! |

| tamar: <whooaa Shirov must be overly trusting in money matters...> Part of his va banque style to trust to fortune in chess and in life? |
