Dec-09-08    ketchuplover: He's offering chess training and lessons. Dec-09-08    whiteshark: His homepage with further informations: http://www.tigerlilov.com/home.html Jun-28-09    kramputz: Hello Valeri I checked out your Web site. Here is some contractive criticism. 1. The set up is too wide and half the page is cut off. (no, it's not my computer !!) 2. There are too much graphics and colors and it makes it too long to down load. Some viewers might lose patience and won't wait to look at the rest. 3. As I am writing this; still wafting for the download. 4. Keep it simple, fast and do not try to show off with your "graphic design" skill. Wishing you the best and good luck. // Jul-10-12    Shams: Soon to be an IM, having just picked up his third norm despite coming down with the flu in the late rounds of the tournament. Great game annotated here: http://www.chess.com/article/view/t... Oct-06-13    pawn to QB4: Don't know if you ever come here, but if you do, I want to say great credit to you for your work on the Ivanov case. I hope it's long remembered by anyone wanting to take the quick dishonest route to the top. You've done chess a real service. Oct-06-13    RedShield: Nice cardigan. Did you knit it yourself? Oct-09-13    JustAnotherPatzer: i second what <pawn to QB4> says, great work on the Ivanov cheating scandal - and congratulations on gaining your third IM norm - fantastic achievement, more power to you Valeri. Oct-15-13    kereru: There are plenty of far more notable players who don't write their own bios. Can't we keep this more objective and get rid of the blatant self-promotion? Oct-15-13    Billy Vaughan: I cleaned up the bio a bit. It's still kinda promotional, but at least it's not filled with overly enthusiastic adjectives. Mar-09-15    ketchuplover: tigerlilov.com is currently #195 on http://chess-links.org Jul-10-21    scutigera: If you're as old as I am, it's hard to see that picture and not think "Nigel Short + Pee Wee Herman." Jul-15-21    Nosnibor: His he going to be player of the day for the rest of 2021? Jul-15-21    Check It Out: Let's not alert the admin. First, they should be paying attention to the main features of their own site. Second, it would be neat to set a record of some sort for most same player of the days in a row.
