| THE pawn: I have a weird question here. Why do grandmasters only marry with other grandmasters? It seems that since I've been navigating on this site, every player that's married is with another strong player. It's not because I aim to be a lawyer that'll marry with a lawyer. |

| Caissanist: Well, most chess pros are pretty much 24/7 chess--they have to be to survive at that level. Basically, they're in the 10% of the population trying to make a living at what they're passionate about. Those people need a spouse who is at least a fan of chess, or else they're not going to have much to talk about at the dinner table. However, for me and almost everyone I know, our relationship to our jobs is more like that portrayed in the movie "Office Space". In that case your spouse's choice of career isn't nearly as important. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: <THE pawn> It's interesting that you ask this question exactly on this page. You see, Lautier and Skripchenko have already divorced. :) |

| vesivialvy93: Is this guy still thinking he will be a WC soon ? and how does he feel right now when he is not the no 1 in France ! Bacrot is no 1 and much better than him today and for the next decade , his mouth was always wide open in the europe echecs (french mag) to give critics , complaining about the fide and french federation and Kasparov and the fide president ect....speaking against everything only because he thought he was strong enough to beat Kasparov in matches in the mid 90's but could never reach him (not strong enough to beats a top 10) when you are the best you can beat everybody in your road even against politics (Kasparov 82-83-84) his problem is simple , he won a junior WC against even older player than him a grest achievement for such a youg player he was AND in that time the french chess federation was searching for a hero and he was the only good prospect to match these shoes , in France good players appears after 5-6 years of great promotion of the game by the french federation then very great players emerge from these years and better than him of course ! i hope he understand that is chance to be better than Bacrot in the future is ZERO !!! |

| Mameluk: Lautier played Skripchenko today in the decisive match of French league and managed to beat her:) But the moves relay is showing probably could not happen even in Skripchenko-Lautier game. |

| plang: This database is remarkable but there are some holes. Ubeda (Spain) 1997 was probably Lautiers greatest tournament achievement. It was a category 16-17 tournament that Lautier won easily. He had nice wins against, among others, Leko, Korchnoi and Beliavsky. For some reason, the games from Ubeda are not included in the database. |

| plang: I just looked at Lautiers win over Leko from Ubeda 1997. It is a really beautiful game that was voted the 9th best game in Informant #69. It is not in this database but I feel that I should mention it as Ubeda 1997 was probably Lautiers best tournament achievement. |

| garcia.markina: Lautier is not a professional chessplayer anymore. He works for a french company in Moscow, because of his mastery in russian. That is why he sometimes makes such short draws: he plays with "the old baggage". |

Why don't you submit it if it's missing? |

| Tomlinsky: <plang> Lautier's win against Karpov in Biel 1997 is now submitted to the DB. This game is extensively annotated by Lautier in Megabase. |

Joël Lautier (born 12 April 1973) is a French chess grandmaster. Lautier is one of the strongest grandmasters from France. He was World Junior Chess Championship winner in 1988 on tiebreak at Adelaide, and has won the French Chess Championship in 2004 and 2005. He is in 2005 the second best French GM after Etienne Bacrot . He is also one of the founders of ACP, Association of Chess Professionals (www.chess-players.org). He has been the president of the association in 2004-2005. He is one of only three players (the others being Vassily Ivanchuk and Peter Peter Svidler ) to have beaten every world champion dating back to 1975 (Anatoli Karpov , Garry Kasparov , Vladimir Kramnik , Alexander Khalifman , Viswanathan Anand , Ruslan Ponomariov , Rustam Kasimdzhanov , and Veselin Topalov ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_L...

| notyetagm: Interesting fact about Lautier.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_L...
<He first came to the attention of the world in 1986 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when, at age 13, he won the World Under-14 Championship by defeating both Sofia Polgar and Judit Polgar. Sofia and Judit tied for second.> <<<Does anyone have <PGN> for these two Lautier-Polgar 1986 games?>>> They are not in the CG.COM database. Thanks. |

| wordfunph: Trivia: Little Joel Lautier was sent out of the press room by Kasparov in the French town Belfort when he indicated a mistake in analysis by Kasparov, and later the adult Lautier gains a positive score against Kasparov. Happy Birthday GM Joel Lautier!!! |
