  OhioChessFan: Stunning that such a well known player has no kibitzing. Maybe the Legendary LaskerReshevsky has something useful to add to this page.
Jan-04-08  Petrosianic: And after your post he still has no kibitzing.
Jan-05-08  brankat: Things are picking up though. Perhaps we'll have to wait for <BIDMONFA> for some enlightenment :-)

Jan-11-08  laskereshevsky: HMMM.....i dont know what to say....this is new for me.. be "hotly" hunted by a man (and what a man...Elvis the Pelvis!...) Usually that happened to me only from women/girls... (by the way, if U are a little "confused", dont worry...im not!!...)

I mean:.... Usually im called, searched, provocated by ladies several months after i said they: <Well darling, U was "well served"...was very nice...but now...BYE BYE!!...> and then i change "paths" and "hunting territory"....

Saying the truth the "previsious one" usually re-start to call after see me with the "actual one".....

Well.... the question is.... How and where "HE" saw me "well escorted" in the last days???!?!?!

BESIDE THE JOKES....

1°) If someone is still "ranting" and with an "offended" actitude about something happened a lot of time (about 1 year!!!) before....

.......NO COMMENT.......

2°) Ok CG's LADIES/ WOMAN/GIRLS and FEMMINISTES...(just for the politically correct...) im the "alpha wolf of the pack" type....(please dont think im too much over-confident, that was said me by others...) but i know too how to full-respect a woman.....

(of course this depende in big part by the lady's behaviour.....:)

Mar-20-09  GeauxCool: <this depende in big part by the lady's behaviour>

"You got those. I like those on a woman."

Aug-10-14  Karpova: Piscopo shared 2nd-4th place (3rd according to Sonneborn-Berger) at the IM section of the Karel Opocensky Memorial in Prague, 23 June to 30 June 2013, with 6.0/9 (+3 -0 =6).

Aug-10-14  Karpova: At the 17th 'Corsican Circuit' Open in Bastia, France 19 October to 23 October 2013, Piscopo reached 28th place with 6.0/9.

Aug-11-14  Karpova: Piscopo reached 4th place at the 1st International Open in Perugia, Italy, 27 June to 4 July 2009. He scored 6.0/9 (+3 -0 =6).

Aug-12-14  Karpova: The 46th Reggio Emilia International Chess Tournament, 27 December 2003 to 4 January 2004, was a great success for Piscopo. He scored 4.5/9 (+1 -1 =7) and reached place 7. However, he had been the second lowest rated player - among the participants were the strong GMs Igor Miladinovic, Dimitri Komarov and Vladimir Georgiev. But Piscopo was not the only surprise: A young, female chessplayer from Russia scored +1. It was none other than Olga Zimina, who has been playing for Italy for some time now.

Aug-13-14  Karpova: When Fabiano Caruana won the 68th Italian Championship in Martina Franca, 3 December to 14 December 2008, Piscopo had a pretty low rating (he was the 3rd lowest rated player), but performed excellently. He came in 5th with 6.0/11 (+3 -2 =6), losing only to Caruana and Bruno.

Aug-14-14  Karpova: In the 10th International Chess Festival in Amantea, Italy, 2 September to 9 September 2012, Piscopo reached 4th place with 6.0/9 (+3 -0 =6). He beat all the lower rated players he faced and drew the higher rated players (among them 4 GMs).

Aug-15-14  Karpova: Piscopo had another good result at the 3rd International Chess Open in Livigno, Italy, 10 September to 17 September 2012. He came in 18th with 5.0/9 (+2 -1 =6). He beat the two lower rated players he faced, and only lost once against higher rated opposition (5 GMs, 2 IMs).

Aug-16-14  Karpova: In the 70th Italian Chess Championship in Siena, 23 November to 4 December 2010, Piscopo came in 7th with 5.0/11 (+4 -5 =2). The result was still very good, since Piscopo was the 2nd lowest rated player. After a rough start, losing to Denis Rombaldoni, Caruana and Brunello, he beat Axel Rombaldoni and Dvirnyy. After a draw against Godena, he beat Bonafede and Genocchio. The tournament ended with losses against Ortega and D'Amore and a draw in the last round against Garcia Palermo.

Aug-17-14  Karpova: One of Piscopo's earlier successes was the 4th Scaccomato tournament in Turin, 16 November to 25 November 2002. Piscopo reached 7th place with 4.0/9 (+2 -3 =4), although he was the by far lowest rated player. He even beat the tournament winner, GM Vladimir Georgiev (his only loss).

Aug-17-14  Karpova: Piscopo: <It's the greatest moment in my chess career> and <Only in Corsica could I ever hope to see it come true: Play against a legend and manage a draw. I could not be happier.>

During the former World Champion's visit to Corsica (Porto-Vecchio, 19 may to 20 May 2014), Piscopo faced the Tiger of Madras one on one. Vishy won 1.5-0.5.
