| Aug-31-07 | | aragorn69: What a (bald) DUNDERHEAD indeed! |
|
| Jul-02-08 | | jon01: I awlays wondered how this random player became European champion in 2003. |
|
| Jul-03-08 | | James Demery: I always wondered how old he was when he learned how to spell his last name. |
|
| Jul-03-08 | | percyblakeney: It's only five years ago Azmai was a 2700 player, in July 2003 he had a 2702 rating (just behind Ivanchuk with 2710 but well ahead of Moro with 2679). This when such a rating was enough to be #15 (and not #30 as it is today). |

| Jul-13-08 | | ToTheDeath: Excellent interview with Kasparov talking about MGP, in this excerpt he explains how a player as old as Zurab won the European Championship. http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cach... Hanon W. Russell: Well this leads me to my next question. You’ve made a comment before about how this generation of players was brought up and learned so much from your matches with Karpov, etc. There is a tendency for many, many young masters and improving players to look at anything that occurred before Fischer as being worthless or not worth studying. What would you say to that? Garry Kasparov: I think it’s a very stupid assessment. It’s probably, you know… you could find this kind of arrogance in the modern settings of the game of chess. They play Internet, you know, bullet game: one minute, three minutes. So they don’t have time even to concentrate on serious issues. And that’s why one of the greatest weaknesses of all young players is the endgame. When you look at, for instance, Azmaiparashvili winning the European Championship, Zurab is older than I am. So he’s a sort of dinosaur. Endgame… Counter attacks and endgames... And he was very stubborn so that’s… by the way Zurab was my coach in some of these matches, so that’s one of the players that came from that generation, learned from these matches. And even now not being, you know, most involved player, because he’s also FIDE Vice President, he has other things to do. But there’s a class; there is the solid foundation that you cannot disregard. |

|
| Mar-16-09 | | WhiteRook48: who is this? |
|
| Mar-16-09 | | SmotheredKing: <WhiteRook> This is the most honorable Azmaiparashvili, specialist in headbutting security guards at important event, unless he´s an event participant; in which case he plays an especially solid but game of Zurab chess, which is just like normal chess except touch-move doesn´t exist and moves can be taken back. |

| May-01-09 | | returnoftheking: lol smotheredking, nice description. I see why he worked with Kasparov-they fit perfectly together in style. Off the board, that is. |

| Jul-03-09 | | percyblakeney: Nice win today in the Greek League against an opponent just a few points below 2700 (Miroshnichenko): 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 c5 4. d5 b5 5. Bg5 h6 6. Bxf6 Qxf6 7. Nc3 b4 8. Nb5 Kd8 9. e4 g5 10. e5 Qg7 11. h3 Bb7

What about simultaneous exhibits? I've seen Korchnoi and Spassky do it there. |

| Aug-02-10 | | cjgone: From what I read about this guy, he's pretty awesome. :D |
|
| Oct-10-10 | | splatty: I feel sorry for Gashimov, he is a virtuoso chess player and was left out of the Olympiad because of the politics of a self-serving ex-FIDE politician. Gashimov is more of a talent than Azmaiparashvili ever was, and it's a disgrace he inhibits a top young player from representing his own country. I already thought Azmaiparashvili was a thug and a selfish idiot from previous Chessbase reports over the years relating to his role as a FIDE vice president, and this has confirmed all of that for me and I'll be happy if I never hear his name mentioned again as he's done enough damage. (As an aside, he has been part of the corruption in FIDE to get fat and rich for years, and he is hypocrite enough to complain and try and sue when the tables are turned on him...) |

'A man' as synomym for politicans and banksters! |

 | | OhioChessFan: I have always had a problem with moves being written down before they are made. That is not "recording". That is "making notes." FWIW, in the account, I think it made NO difference if he'd written a different move down or not. |
