| Gypsy: <Pardubice> How did I turn it into Kladno? <Not that any of this really matters, but on occasion this kind of "patriotism" does go on my nerves.

The little dirty secret of human history is that patriotism was invented as a tool for recruiting free soldiers. The wars were getting too expensive when you had to pay all those professional soldiers. |

| brankat: <Gypsy> <How did I turn it into Kladno?> The spelling is similar :-)
Re "patriotism". No wonder there have been more and more countries with an increased degree of it :-) But, costly wars are not the only reason. |

| khursh: <It Looks like GM Sergei Movsesian has benefited greatly from his living in Slovakia.> I read somewhere that Movsesian doesn't even live in Slovakia. He is living in some other eastern European country. |

| Etienne: "seems breaking the Magical super GM mark of 2750 is very easy these days Wang Yue crossed 2750 recently." Oh yes, VERY easy... (IRONY)
"i feel both are over rated wen it comes to their rankings" Wang Yue hasn't lost in his 80 last games, including two Grand Prix, but yeah. He's overrated. (IRONY) |

| praddy06: Movsesian live rating of 2749.3 moved past Aronian seems breaking the Magical super GM mark of 2750 is very easy these days Wang Yue crossed 2750 recently. i feel both are over rated wen it comes to their rankings Shakhriyar Mamedyarov had a rating of 2760 in jan 2008 he wa not able to maintain his performance with that kind of rating.
he is also in the same league of Movsesian and Jakovenko and Wang Yue |

| Billy Vaughan: This guy plays a lot of chess. I'd like to see him continue to rise! |

| Strafe: I think Movsesian has only lost one classical game this year Morozevich vs Movsesian, 2008
He will make his super tournament debut with plenty of confidence at the Pearl Spring Chess Tournament (2008) |

--------------
GM Movsesian - GM Bu Xiangzhi(2714) 0-1
Movsesian had a live rating of 2748.4 before these 4 matches would have dropped below 2740 as of now <strafe>

| Honza Cervenka: <Correct, AFAIK he lives in Prague, Czech Republic. However he is a citizen of Slovakia.> He lives in Pardubice since 1994, if I know. Sergei is an Armenian by nationality but he was born in Tbilisi, Georgia. That is why he represented Georgia and not Armenia as a junior. He has a Slovak citizenship since 2002 because our dunderheaded bureaucrats refused to give him Czech citizenship with explanation that after some eight years spent in Czech Republic he is not living here long enough to have a valid claim for it. Once again our Slovak brethren have proven to be smarter and less rigid and offered their citizenship to Sergei with no conditions like permanent residence in Slovakia for ten years and no painful bureaucratic procedure related to it. Thus Slovakia got a super GM into their national team instead of Czech Republic.... |

| Billy Vaughan: And he beats Ivanchuk to jump into the joint lead. |
|
| Jan-24-09 |
| Phoenix: Grandmaster Movsesian impressing everyone with a joint lead in Corus after seven rounds. In fact, he's the only one out of the fourteen participants in Group A with three wins. |
|
Jan-25-09
|
| Billy Vaughan: If Aronian - van Wely 1/2, then Movsesian is the sole leader. |

| KingG: Considering how strong this guy is, it's quite amazing that in 2001 Kasparov was playing a clock simul against 4 members of the Czech national team(including Movsesian), and won 5.5-2.5, with 1.5-0.5 against Movsesian(and he was lucky it wasn't 2-0). Kasparov vs Movsesian, 2001
Movsesian vs Kasparov, 2001
The other players on the team were Zbynek Hracek, Vlastimil Babula, and Tomas Oral(the only one to win a game against Kasparov). |

| Billy Vaughan: Movsesian didn't win, but I think he acquit himself nicely with joint second and +2 in a cutthroat field. |
|

| Phoenix: <Movsesian didn't win, but I think he acquit himself nicely with joint second and +2 in a cutthroat field.> I would agree with that. He was the only player who had 4 wins, which was only second to Karjakin's 5. I hope he gets some more top invites. |

| SgtPepper: Yesterday I played in the same tournament as Movsesian. It was rapid tournament in Olomouc. It is an honor for me to play in the same tournament as him. :-) |
