Jun-30-06  Rocafella: Let me do it instead
May-27-08  brankat: At one time GM Rosentalis had a ratings of 2688! Close to Super GM designation. A winning % of 58%

Must have been a very strong GM some years ago.

May-27-08  brankat: Happy Birthday GM Rosentalis!
Jan-10-09  WhiteRook48: happy new year!
Hmm, this seems to be a bit weird, considering the Rozentalis-Money game above.

  Tabanus: Winner of Rilton Cup (Sweden) 2009/2010:

Feb-28-10  Cushion: He seems to be a fan of the 3...Nc6 french.
May-27-10  wordfunph: Gedeon Barcza Memorial II in Budapest: The round robin tournament was abruptly cancelled after the first round was played. The organizer Gabor Pali did not have enough money to pay Ramada Resort Hotel and also to the players. The players had to rebook their flights at their cost and left Budapest. GM Rozentalis was one of the players who went home empty-handed..

  GrahamClayton: Rozentalis is a real globe-trotter. Are there many countries in which he hasn't played a competitive game? :-)
Dec-30-12  Jim Bartle: I'll bet Nigel Short has played in at least as many countries. When he came to Peru he said it was his 100th.

Black to move!

Rozentalis finds a beautiful combination starting with 1...Ng4!hxg4 2..Bh4+! and white is unable to escape

Mar-22-14  DiscoJew: I remember first hearing about Rozentalis in en Passant, the Canadian Chess magazine. They described him as a positional player whose favourite player was Capablanca who he tried to model his style after. He certainly plays very nice organic, natural chess, that I for one find fun to watch. There is a certain purity or truth searching with his games. Good luck Eduardas in your chess!
