| Knight13: <TheSlid> I don't remember much.... But I remeber that I got straight "A"s on my report card last grading period. I'm hoping to get at least 5 "A"s and 1 B on this grading period. |

| aw1988: What nationality is Tal Shaked? |
|

| mohd rafi fan: American, I believe. I don't know what his origin is, though, if that is what you're looking for. |

| MrSifter: He comes from a Israeli-Jewish background. |

| WMD: Unfortunately his most famous game was a stinker: Shaked vs Kasparov, 1997 |
|

| madlydeeply: Shaked grew up in Tucson Arizona and I think that his parents might have pushed him to play chess. Just a hunch... |

| Jim Bartle: Shaked wrote a fairly long article in Inside Chess about the "learning experience" of his disaster at Tilburg 1997. He sure sounded like a dedicated player, anxious to improve and move up in the world, but he seems to have played very little since. Maybe he went to college and gave up serious chess? |

| Knight13: <Shaked grew up in Tucson Arizona and I think that his parents might have pushed him to play chess. Just a hunch...> Yeah... But if he was pushed to play chess and he didn't like it much, he wouldn't be rated THIS high. ;) |

| Jim Bartle: Too bad he never played black vs. Mikhail Tal. Then you vs. yourself could have annotated the game. |

| babakova: I remember how Kasparov got pissed about how Shaked was invited to Tilburg in 1997. He really does have a winning personality that Mr. Kimovich. |

| Caissanist: <Maybe he went to college and gave up serious chess?> Basically, yes. He's pursuing a PhD in computer science from the University of Washington, although he seems to spend most of his time on leave working for various high tech companies. Last I heard he was at Google, and he's also worked for Microsoft and Intel. He still gives simuls from time to time, but that's all as far as chess is concerned. |

| mistreaver: I only remember this guy for blundering his queen in 1 move against Kasparov |
