Jul-13-09  ChessWizardry: I find it rather strange that there has been so little kibitzing on GM Meier's portrait site, considering that he currently is Germany's biggest chess talent.

With his great perfomance at last year's EU-ch he has proven that he can compete against world class players.

I hope he manages to break the 2700 stratosphere in the next few years, it would be great for chess in Germany.

Sep-25-09  oiseaudefeu: Great win today. A player who punishes the rather natural looking move Rc8 of today's game in this way should break the 2700 mark soon.

You can't? Strange no one has ever told me the couldn't. Oh well thanks for wanting to see the analysis. Do you get an error message or does the page fpr my blog simply not open?

Jul-24-11  Refused: Meier is getting a decent beating at Dortmund. And after his rants at GM Gustafsson blog, I really enjoy Meier getting beaten the living daylight out of him at Dortmund.

Would like tom get more details. Please specify. Thanks

Jan-14-12  Refused: Some time last year, Gusti was playing a mini match against French GM Fressinet. The match took place as an event organized by the Schachjugend (Junior Division of the German Chess Federation) during the German Junior Championships.

Gustafsson was picked apart by Fressinet in that match (no other way to put it). During that match Meier made some remarks on another website and also commented on Gustafsson's blog. Basically saying: "Ha, why does that player get to play a match? That's an excellent training opportunity wasted on a far inferior player. "The right players to play such an event would have been me (Meier) or Naiditsch. We're younger and by far better"

Note: at that point the rating difference between Gusti and Meier were 4 (four!) Elo points :') Meier 2650
Gustafsson 2646.

If Naiditsch had voiced that opinion, I would have given him some credit, since Naiditsch is probably better. But with Meier ranting, that <the best paid event in the last 10 or 15 years was given to a player, against whom the criteria age and strength speak> was somewhat, odd.

And publicly attacking a team mate is very poor style.

  HeMateMe: Goering got his at the end, when he ate cyanide to cheat the hangman's noose. Historians now believe it was an American prison guard, a fellow from Texas, who got fat boy his cyanide cap that he kept hidden in his mouth. The Texan was a military/history buff, who spent a lot of time talking to Goering, at the prison, while the Reichsmarshall was part of the Nuremberg trials.
