| iron maiden: Careful now. Every time someone says McShane's slump is over, he starts playing poorly again. |
 |
| Aug-27-05 |
| Pretzel Logic: Odd style--look at his wins in this recent tournament he just won--makes a ton of knight moves, reminds me a bit of Karpov, although I'm sure'Tolya does it better. |

| waddayaplay: McShane is too arrogant to become a top class player. Above all he plays very meek as white, which may work if his opponent blunders but hardly against the top bunch. |

| WMD: <McShane is too arrogant to become a top class player. Above all he plays very meek as white..> Slight disconnect there. Please explain. |

| Appaz: <waddayaplay <McShane is too arrogant to become a top class player.>> Yeah, you have to be humble like Fischer, Karpov or Kasparov to reach the top. |

| Brown: McShane play and insight is lauded in Rowson's new book Chess for Zebras, in case anyone is interested. |

| PieceArtist: Luke loves to move his knights |

| Knight13: May have drawn Anand, but he didn't beat him... |

| Knight13: But of course I would pay Anand under the table for a draw... Or, actually, pay under the table and HOPE for a draw... |

| volvak: <why didnt mcshane play in the olympiad?> luke is a coward
<Come back, McShane! Come back!> fat chance. he is a spineless twerp who couldn't handle the pressure of top-level chess. |

| whiteshark: <pugofcrydee: why didnt mcshane play in the olympiad?> Let me guess, he's not a full time chess player and didn't get additional leave. --> 'After graduating in the summer of 2007, he started a new job at Goldman Sachs and is currently working there as a trader.' --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_M... |

| Dredge Rivers: <volvak>
I'm afraid you missed the reference to the classic 1953 movie "Shane", where the last line is "Come back, Shane, come back!" "Rose Bowl!" :) |

<The dates for the London Chess Classic at the end of the year are now confirmed with the tournament taking place 7th-16th December 2009. The field is being finalised but it can be announced that Magnus Carlsen, Vladimir Kramnik, Nigel Short, Ni Hua and Luke McShane will be competing.There will be 8 players in a 7 round all-play-all.> I thought nakamura was going to play in this event? |
|
| Jul-24-09 |
| Paint My Dragon: Yes, Nakamura is playing.
McShane has recently gone elo 2596 --> 2620 due to his excellent results in the BL and 4NCL. However, I wouldn't expect too much from a part-timer competing against some of the world's best at the London Classic. |
|

|
| smurph: McShane is a top class amateur. |
