KOPYLOV, Mihail

May-24-11  Riverbeast: Let it be known for the record, this guy just disconnected from me on the ICC in a dead lost position

It was adjudicated a win anyway...But you should know better than that, IM Kopylov....Take your beatings like a man! :-)

Dec-09-14  mareanguis: Ah, the joy of being an IM, and especially playing chess online with a non-anonymous account...random idiots can permanently sully your name based on some probably 3 am blitz game, while never having to answer for themselves. Did you never, Riverbeast, disconnect from a game? And do you think that if you did, you would have to face eternal judgement for it from the public?

  Check It Out: Kopylov gave Nisipeanu a good battle but eventually succumbed.

  offramp: Presumably Riverbeast was awarded the point. Is the gamescore available? I am writing a book called <ULTIMATE DISCONNECTS> and I was hoping to include that game.
