May-02-09  Red October: is he related to Nepomniatchi ?

  alexmagnus: No relation, but the name is actually the same.

  moronovich: An answer which is more than 6 years old must be a good one.

  alexmagnus: <moronovich> I just accidentaly found out that this player exists (searched for "Nepomnjaschtschi" on the German Wikipedia and noticed that among the three people with this name two are chess players). Well, I went to this page to see the games of the "other Nepo". And saw <Red October>'s question, so I answered it - better late than never :)

I agree wholeheartedly.

perhaps with the exception of e.g.Hitlers and Stalins parents intercourse. Here I would say "never better than later";)
Sometimes it is good brainexcercise and fun to find exceptions from the rule,like in chess.
