| Jim Bartle: In 1990, in Reykjavik, England defeated the Soviet Union in a team match for the first time. Nunn's comment: "The Soviets cunningly prevented a repetition by splitting their country up." |

| MaxxLange: Another amazing old Nunn book is "Tactical Chess Endings" Nunn says that he will never write another opening book (in the style of his work on the Najdorf, or NCO), since it is all database now. |

| arsen387: One of the greatest tacticians ever, for sure. I'd put him in the chain 'Morphy->Alekhine->Tal->Nunn,Christiansen'. It's generally interesting to observe the chess history as consisting of some chains of players with resembling styles. Another chain could be 'Nimzowitsch,Capablanca->Petrosian->Karpov->Kramn-
ik,Leko'. |

| Flicflac: Woody wood pusher,
Even if that were true, surely there is a better picture out there than of him with his face in a weird contortion. |

| eternaloptimist: chessgames can add to his profile that he also won the World Chess Problem Solving Championship in 2007 (in addition to 2004). It's apparent that he still has a lucid & ingenious mind. |
