  sisyphus: The way I see it, 28. d7 was the last best chance to keep the pressure on.

  Shajmaty: Great performance so far by Paco at Olimpiadi degli Scacchi Torino 2006: 3,5/4! After Monaco and this, I'm now convinced he's playing his best. Will 2006 B Paco's year?
Jun-26-06   kakhander: <near to 2700 Elo with 52,7% record ! :(>

Vallejo, will NEVER be in 2700

Jun-26-06   kakhander: <After Monaco and this, I'm now convinced he's playing his best>

And he will finally play good at Linares also? LOL

  veigaman: good year for paco! He won cuernavaca in the begining of the year, he had a great perfomance in amber, chess olimpiad and now in the spanish championship. Also, his ideas were used by topalov playing with blacks in his match with kramnik.

  suenteus po 147: <positionalgenius> Be careful of what you say. There's a rumor Morozevich will drop out of Linares and the only player willing and able to take his place on short notice would be Vallejo-Pons.

  veigaman: Vallejo has been understimated a lot for his results in linares, the best chess tournament in my opinion

  positionalgenius: <suenteus po 147>What? Morozevich drop out? Why would he do that?

Premium Chessgames Member
  veigaman: <suenteus po 147> where did you read that rumour? it would be a pitty
Jan-29-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  suenteus po 147: It was mentioned in TWIC a month or two ago, right around the time Morozevich dropped out of Corus for "personal reasons."

  pawnofdoom: Vallejo is actually doing pretty well right now at the European Team Championships, playing board 2 behind Shirov. When he gets to play with those 2600s closer to his rating, he does pretty well. its only in those tournaments where almost everyone is 2700+ (like corus) when he gets crushed
Jan-31-08   tiger petrosinian: hola paco. sigue tirando , campeon!!!

  NakoSonorense: Ya no lo quieren en Linares... :S
Apr-05-08   Tronkete: Todos con Paco! Un saludo a la comunidad Hispanoparlante de Chessgames!

All with Paco! Greetings to the Spanish-speaking community in Chessgames! (And English-speaking :) And any-language speaking as well... :) )

Apr-05-08   Xaurus: Player of the day and only 1 comment, that's a shame!

Is Fransisco the strongest native spanish chess player of today?

Premium Chessgames Member
  sisyphus: Paco is back to 2684, just two points shy of his high. He gained nine points on the strength of his +2 performance at Pamplona.
Jun-21-08   Sularus: no bio for this strong player?

pity.
