Sep-27-04    OneArmedScissor: Who is this young lad?!? Apr-21-05    lopium: I don't know, i guess a Greek person. Apr-21-05    gadfly: His name is typically Georgian and yes, he is Georgian, not Greek. Apr-23-05    WTHarvey: Here are some win and mate puzzles from Tamaz's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/gela.html Apr-23-05    keypusher: Thanks <WTHarvey>. This guy evolves the most amazing attacks from the strangest openings . . . Apr-23-05    keypusher: <WTHarvey> in your first puzzle white is missing a rook on h3 -- no wonder I couldn't figure it out! Apr-23-05    WTHarvey: <keypusher> Thanks for the tip. I've editted the diagram and credited you. Much obliged! :-) Apr-23-05    Helloween: A thorough study of this man's games will show many examples of unbridled attacking creativity, particularly against the castled Kingside. He is a very risky and almost cautionless player. Jan-22-06    dakgootje: He looks quite young on the picture... Feb-02-06    itz2000: How old is he? Feb-02-06    keypusher: My hero! Here's an example of how he plays. Yelena Dembo gives quite a good account of herself too. Y Dembo vs T Gelashvili, 2004 Mar-19-07    James Bowman: He plays b3 against the sicilian very well the Snyder variation, I have used it with pretty good results on ICC, its funny how often a long pause happens after 1.) e4...c5 2.) b3 tic toc tic toc. ;o]
