May-28-04    ruylopez900: <chessgames.com> I do believe the full name is Ian Snape, the author of Chess Endings made simple. He was a fairly good junior player, retired to banking, then came back as a correspondence player as well as weekend swiss player. He might be a titled correspondence player but I'm not sure. May-28-04    chessgames.com: OK, thanks. Jul-01-04    Gypsy: The cover of his end-game book claims that he is an ICCF IM and has a GM norm under his belt. The book is good. Jul-01-04    weary willy: I L Snape ... flourished as a junior in the late 60s and 70s ... must be aged about 53-55. Jul-01-04    qqq: Professor snape from hogwarts? Jul-01-04    nikolaas: He is inded a IM in correspondance chess. you can buy his book here http://www.chessdirect.co.uk/acatal... But I didn't found any biography. Jul-13-04    ruylopez900: <Gypsy> Yes, it is quite good. Mostly basic stuff for tournament play, doesn't go deeply into Rook endings, but it shows v. , + v. , + v. -, v. (opp col.), + v. etc. etc. Jul-13-04    dac1990: No, <qqq>, not professor snape. *restraing laughter* Nov-20-06    ChesterTheJester: He goes to my club, is v strong player. Nice guy also. May-02-07    orangelights: Comeon Muggles! This is Professor Snape as evidenced by his masterful treatment of the Dragon variation in Robert Willmoth vs Ian Snape. Jul-20-07    Whitehat1963: Brother of Severus. But the real question is, is he good or evil? Jan-06-08    DarthStapler: If only he played a game against someone named Dumbledore and won, then if it was GOTD the pun could be "Hey! Snape kills Dumbledore!" Jun-12-08    tpstar: Hmmm - what is that mysterious ticking noise?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx1X... Feb-08-09    DarthStapler: Would you believe that I actually know Neil Cicierega? Mar-18-10    ChessKnightsOfLondon: I've beaten Master Snape on the three occasions we've met :-)
