| SwitchingQuylthulg: Nepo appears as a GM on July 2007 list, congrats! (So does the second-highest rated IM of April 2007 list, fellow Russian Igor Lysyj. Congrats to him, too.) Any idea who's the highest rated IM now? |

| WarmasterKron: <Any idea who's the highest rated IM now?> Chinese IM Hao Yin, 2583, though he's listed as inactive. The highest rated active IM is Diego Flores. |

| Karpova: Nepomnyashiy has 4.5/6 so far in the BrainStore tournament in Biel:
http://www.bielchessfestival.ch/cms... Dronavalli has 3.5/6 (as much as Negi) |

| Troller: <JointheArmy: Is he the first IM over 2600? > Old question, but I seem to recall Kamsky breaking both the 2600 barrier and the top-10 without having any titles. Khalifman was also high on the list before he became a GM. Nepomniachtchi is yet another great talent born in 1990. He hasn't had the publicity (or playing strength) that Carlsen and Karjakin have had, but he may soon be getting his breakthrough. |

| AlexandraThess: I still can not understand why they spell his name in english "Nepomniachtchi"?! This is far away from the way it is pronounced in russian. It should be spelled "Nepamniashii", meaning "the man who can't bear in mind"! |

| sharkw: I can never remember how to spell his name, so here's my suggestion of a nickname for him - Napalm, 'cause he incinerates the opposition! |

| Resignation Trap: <sharkw> <<I can never remember how to spell his name...>> If you do a computer-based translation of a website with his name on it, it sometimes gets translated as "Forgetful Jan". |

| notyetagm: My brief conversation with GM Nepomniachtchi, after congratulating him on his excellent Round 5 win over Grachev at the Aeroflot Open (2008): <<notyetagm whispers: @faust: nice win today, enjoyed following your game>
(whispered to 137 observers)
drunkman whispers: Rg6
answer whispers: how much fide rating
Superswede whispers: is it over 2600?
drunkman whispers: Bxg6
<faust(GM) whispers: thx notye
>>
Nepomniachtchi's ICC handle is <faust>. |

| jon01: He once visited Chess Assistant Club playing server, only hours before playing in Corus with Sargissian. As we all know, Nepo won this one. At the moment he is having quite sharp game against Vietnam GM Le. Nepomniachtchi is pawn up and a open line in kingside, but his own king is not very safe. |
|
| Feb-22-08 |
| Troller: Congrats to Nepo on winning the Aeroflot Open! I suspect this page wil see a lot more traffic in 2008. |

| notyetagm: <Per: A new Tal is born!> Any new fan of Nepomniachtchi must be sure to check him out playing the <SHIROV GAMBIT> agains the Philidor Defense in I Nepomniachtchi vs S Hautot, 2006. |

| Larsker: "Forgetful".
Nje-pam-'nja-shee.
Nje = [un] in English.
Pamjat means [memory] in English. Etymologically, the [m] is the same as in English [mind]. shee is just a marker - showing it's an adjective. |

| sitzkrieg: horrible performance at the rus team ch. Hope he is saving his best for Dortmund. |

| jon01: Well he has lost all four games with black, not so big deal... |

| sitzkrieg: With white he is doing better indeed.
Comment that is maybe worth posting here;
kellmano: <notyetagm: Nepomniachtchi is now 3/3 with the White Sicilian this tournament>
In those three games only one pair of opposite coloured bishops survives beyond move twenty. He appears to like the heavy pieces. |
