Jul-02-10		talisman: Congratulations! on becoming a Grandmaster. Texas Tech is becoming some hotbed of chess.

Aug-29-13		Karpova: Congratulations on winning the 3rd International Split Open 2013 (August 10 to 18) with 8.0/9! Report by WGM Iva Videnova: http://chessbase.com/Home/TabId/211...

Jun-24-16		cro777: GM Davorin Kuljasevic and his bride IM Iva Videnova. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CltbtGB... Congrats to marriage!

Oct-22-17		waustad: Will she change her name? If so it will cause confusion for years on chess sites. I confess I wouldn't know a lot of players at first with their married names, like Deimantė Daulytė recently or perhaps Melanie Ohme. I guess there is a reason, since both often play in the same event as their husband, and Marta Batel got a spellable name (though M Bartel is now ambiguous), but it will take a while before I know who they mean by Iva Kulasevic.

Jul-07-18		PJs Studio: Just watched one of his instructional videos. Good stuff! But, what else should we expect from a GM and FIDE coach?! Keep up the good work GM.

Jan-05-19		whiteshark: <TACTICAL Mastery with <GM Davorin Kuljasevic>> ... You can't build a great building on a weak foundation. The same principle applies to chess. You can't become a great player being a weak tactician. It took <GM Davorin Kuljasevic> over a decade to develop a special methodology covering both tactics and calculation - ultimately leading to the Tactics Mastery video course. This course has a very different perspective on improving your tactics. Instead of taking a usual route of solving 1000s of tactical problems, you'll learn tactics from a more comprehensive angle combining it with strategical motifs. That’s a far more efficient way of studying tactics, because in the actual games tactics and strategy are always interconnected, following one another. If you ever wanted to learn how to become a world-class tactician and start finding tactics subconsciously on an autopilot here is your real chance! What this course is about? <GM Kuljasevic> provides you with the full arsenal of all the necessary tools, theory and practical exercises for tactical mastery. By applying his specifically developed calculation and pattern recognition models you will be able to identify most common "tactical triggers" and spot tactics almost instantly. ... http://thechessworld.com/supercharg...
