Jun-23-05    Pawsome: As of today (23/06/05) this fellow is among the leaders with 4.5 out of 6 in the European Individual Championship at the break. Moreover, he hasn't had an easy schedule, playing against six players all of whom have about 200 ELO pts higher than he does. Jul-01-05    ARMENIA: It is a very funny fact but we were both born on the same day, in the same months and on the same year... But your ELO is highter than mine even though I am better looking :) 1997 Lvov, forth round with black pieces... Rings a bell? Well, just 59 moves but black was victorious... Your performance was fantastic! I am taking my hat off for you... Times have changed but your humor is still with me... Jul-03-05    Ezzy: An awesome European championships from Pantsulaia. He is rated 2496, and the average ratings of his opponents was 2628. With a score of 8 points, he probably was the most improved performer in the field. He gained a massive 38 elo points for this tournament!!!! Dec-05-05    Chnebelgrind: Here is some biography: http://www.bidmonfa.com/pantsulaia_... Very good performance in FIDE World Cup 05 Dec-11-05    ARMENIA: Levan... Great performance in the World Chess Cup! A little disoppointing that you couldn't make to the final 16 but you made a great statement that Georgia has a new shining star that is taking charge! Great performance... amazing game against Milov; two more fantasic finishes against Gerfand! My favorite of all being your game against the Indian GM Surya Sekar with the black pieces!!!!!!! Just amazing ability; amazing composure! I wish you the best in the future! Just keep pounding up the ladder! I may have the risk of saying that you are a brighter star than Karjakin, Carsen or Radjabov! Stay humble and just put that unforgettable smile after each time you defeat another player! My best wishes... Levon Jan-14-06    WTHarvey: Levan just cracked the top 10 of FIDE's Juniors list. Here is a little collection of his winning OTB combinations: http://www.wtharvey.com/pant.html Oct-24-09    DarthStapler: Pantsu?
