| blacksburg: originally posted by <DCP23> - <Volokitin got a free point today because his opponent Ulf Andersson did not show up for the game. A witness testimony states that Andersson called from his hotel and said that he won't come for the game. That same witness speculates that he was drunk.> i would love to have heard that conversation :) |

| jon01: He didn't show up once again today. It already looks like he is afraid of strong opponents. |
|

| FHBradley: Yet another "ausgeschieden" for Andersson, in the European Championship. What is the matter with Uffe? |
|

 |
| whiteshark: <ausgeschieden> means dropped out (retired/eliminated) So I think he left the tournament.
http://www.chess-results.com/tnr182... However <What is the matter with Uffe?> still demands an answer. |
|
| Mar-13-09 |
| FHBradley: I hope it's not the Ståhlberg-Stoltz disease that influences Uffe's performance? |

| acirce: It's not exactly the first time, either. |
|

| AnalyzeThis: Strange, it looks like he was doing fine, 3 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses. Can't believe he was afraid of playing. |

| FHBradley: <ulf-yes-he had the mind of a very nice child when i knew him-not well educated-but quite thoughtful-but also happy to play flipper for ever ( some kind of pin ball game) after his chess game was finished. something must have happened to him -since at his peak he was number one for the world v ussr team -1984-now he seems to lack focus and stamina.> GM R. Keene |

| ray keene: in my experience ulf was a virtual teetotaler-i cannot ever remember him drinking to excess-i think its more likely that he has some problem with his nerves nowadays-hence the switch to correspondence chess to a certain extent. |

| waustad: I'm surprised that he only once won the Swedish championship. Did he play in many others? |
|
| Jun-19-09 |
| Ziggurat: He did not play in the Swedish championships except in his early career. |

| wordfunph: Ulf...happy birthday! |
|

|
| acirce: Happy birthday!
<Ziggurat> Did he even play more than once? |
|
| Jun-27-09 |
| Jim Bartle: I hear his birthday party had two adjournments. |

| Juergen Kaufeld: Hi there,
the time has come!
As late as two weeks ago a book with games of Ulf Andersson has been published. Yet it's only available in German and it's title is Kaufeld/Kern: "Schachstrategie der Weltklasse, 15 Trainingslektionen zu den Partien von Ulf Andersson", published by chessgate.
80 games of Ulf to illustrate well-known middle- and endgameissues!
We hope it will be released in English some day.. |

| Granny O Doul: Interesting that he likes to play both correspondence and online one-minute chess. Another interesting coincidence is that the famous one-minute opening 1.d4 g6 2.Bh6 Bg7 3.Bxg7 also occurs occasionally in correspondence, where Black answers 1.d4 with "...g6 and if any, 2... Bg7". |

| waustad: I see he is playing at Zurich. I wonder if he'll finish the tourney. |

| gezafan: It's interesting that a drawmaster prefers the sicilian and the french as his main responses to e4. And look how little he plays 1...e5! |

 |
| parisattack: <kurtrichards: ... the all-time drawing master...> Yes, and what a shame. He certainly had a unique approach to the game. Just not motivated...issues and such. |

| Check It Out: GM Andersson is playing in a tournament right now called Magistral d'Escacs Ciutat. Looks like a draw between him and Pavel Tregubov |
|
| Nov-12-09 |
| shalgo: Only 3.5/9 for Andersson in the Barcelona tournament. He started well, with 3/5, but could only get one draw and three losses out of his last four games. At least he didn't drop out! |
