| Feb-08-09 | | Udit Narayan: after dibyendu barua, this guy is 2nd bengali grandmaster...and must have been great feeling working with compatriot vishy anand!!! |

| May-20-09 | | dramas79: < "dibyendu barua, this guy is 2nd bengali grandmaster" > Are you sure? Neelotpal Das sounds Bengali and I think he was a GM before. Sandipan Chanda is the next from Bengal and actually, i will not be surprised if he overtakes Ganguly. Both play attacking chess and i feel get nervous in big games. These days Delhi seems to have talent like Negi, Tanya Sachdev, Sahaj Grover. |

| Sep-21-09 | | yalie: Ganguly just had a 2833 perormance in the CECLUB championship (was only 5 rounds - gained 12.4 points). Added to the Kolkata Open performance (+3.1 points), he should reach 2650. He should also become the 4th Indian to enter the top 100 in November. |

|
| Jan-13-10 | | VishyFan: Ganguly won his game against Milos and ended the campaign with a score of 5.0/7 with a performace rating of 2804 and gained 14.3 elo... This makes it a pretty close race for the 2nd best Indian in the rating list....... Hari 2669 (lost 3 ELO here)
Ganguly 2668

|
| Feb-24-10 | | wordfunph: GM Ganguly in FIDE's top 80! ey CG, this GM deserves to have a photo here. I saw him playing in 2009 Asian Individual tourney here in the Philippines. birthday happy Indian GM Surya Sekhar Ganguly! |
|
| Mar-08-10 | | VishyFan: Ganguly is currently rated 2672 and is probably busy with Anand's world championship preparations. That's the likely cause he has not played in any tournaments after the World Team Championship in January...... http://liveindianchessratings.blogs... |

|
| Mar-12-10 | | Sacsacmate: <Is it 'Sekhar' or Shekhar'?> My strong hunch is it is Shekhar.. |

 | | Richard Taylor: I played in simul against Ganguly yesterday. I didn't realise he played the Najdorf himself and played it (I didn't research his games at all but I wouldn't have mattered as of course he played a variety of starting moves; and I wou still have played the Najdorf..);I went wrong on move 8 but he didn't take advantage of it (I think he wanted to see how I would play the "mainline"...maybe, I mean to "practice the mainline, or maybe he thought I found a TN!)), got a better position (thinking in fact I was not better!) but then I stuffed up by sacrificing my knight in the wrong place. Then when I was losing I thought I was better! One of my fellow Club members (Keith Ward ACC, Auckland, NZ) beat him with a great Botvinnik Stonewall Dutch and a nice game. NZ Chess Fed. President Paul Spiller confirm he is soon off to Germany to assist Anand prepare. I wonder if they do (how much?) prep. of 1 e4 in case 1 d4 etc doesn't work out so well? |

| | Richard Taylor: Very nice fellow he seemed. |
|
| Jan-31-12 | | Benzol: <Richard> He's giving a simul tonight at HPCC. |

| | Richard Taylor: Yes, I played again as you know now. I put that game through Fritz also, and again I missed ways to get a good game but allowed him to get Q right on e5 when I nearly resigned. Then I came back into the game and in the last 10 moves or so I could have drawn. It is hard when you don't feel like using to much time working moves out in a simul, so I made errors when I moved immediately he arrived at the board, mostly. As you saw we analysed my game on Monday and the positions arising (had I played what I wanted to play) were quite fascinating. He in fact said it was "very complex". (Note his comment! And the frenzied way he writhed to find a denfence to his position!!)) He was keen to analyse the complex positions arising in the (that variation of) Najdorf but was noncommittal about how they are going to handle things if they decide to face Gelfand's Najdorf! He clearly will recall every detail of my game and, and my ingenious moves we played tonight, and the complex and beautiful ideas, pass the info onto the world champion. I say this with deep modesty...Paul said he hadn't had dinner, but my bet is, my certainty in fact is, that he will spend all tonight without sleep analysing and delving into the ideas (sparking, scintillating, excruciating?!!??) he saw generated by my brilliant insights and fabulous flights of my own genius (and some of his own) into the attack-combinations etc It will torment and amaze him for years. I expect in fact (I have absolutely no doubt on this matter in fact) that this encounter with me will change the course of Chess history forever. {Picture this contrast - Ewen Green was there, but all he did was to bring some tea. Pathetic! He took no interest in my amazing ideas and my game. But I, I, I had a vital Appointment with Fate. |
|
| Jan-31-12 | | Benzol: <Richard> It will be very interesting to see if any ideas expressed earlier this evening will feature in any Anand - Gelfand games in the forthcoming match. That position is full of possibilities and I noticed that even a GM could get lost in the labyrinthine variations that exist within it. GM Ganguly seems a nice guy btw. I hope he enjoyed his time in our country. |

| | Richard Taylor: Yes, joking aside, he was a nice fellow. be (very) funny if the was game with that variation in it! Be unlikely as I think Anand will stick to 1 d4. Or even if he essays 1 e4 it will be the English - so called -of eth Najdorf. His strategy might be to take on Gelfand head on but I think he will just allow his natural calculating ability to prevail. Hard to predict the outcome. Gelfand could pull it of but Anand is more likely on rating etc but no one can tell with these things. I see that Aronian is playing some really great games just now. Pity he and Anand aren't paired. |
