| Jun-24-10 | | Petrosianic: In that case, how come Bush isn't popular? |

| Dec-28-10 | | Queen 18: Tal Shaked is born in the United States, and grew up in Tucson.
His mother, who does not play chess, didn't push him to play chess, but to play soccer. Tal met a friend, who was in the chess club, and had to join, so his mother can carpool with his friend's mother to soccer's games. But, Tal started to like to play chess more than to play soccer. |

 | | kingfu: It sounds like Master Shaked is Arizonian in nationality. Computer Science pays a lot better than chess, especially, when Google is about $600 a share. |

| May-26-11 | | shalgo: Too bad that the database is missing what is arguably Shaked's most significant game--his win against Morozevich from the penultimate round of the World Junior Championship that helped clinch Shaked's victory: [Event "Wch U20"]

[White "Shaked, Tal"]
[Black "Morozevich, Alexander"]

< shalgo >
You may upload that game here: PGN Upload Utility. :) |

 | | FSR: I uploaded the score (per shalgo) and CG.com has now added it to the database: Shaked vs Morozevich, 1997 |
|
| Feb-02-13 | | smalldreams: "Hello Mr. uhm-... 'Shuckeeed.' Nice day for a tournament. My name's Steve. What's yours?" "Tal"
*resign* |
|
| Feb-05-13 | | Llawdogg: Happy 35th Birthday Tal. |
|
| Jun-13-13 | | Cemoblanca: Family was definitely a Tal fan! ;) |
|
| Sep-19-13 | | Abdel Irada: Editor's confession: Whenever I see this name, I have to struggle against the temptation to "correct" it, depending on context, to <Tal Shook> or <Tal Shaken>. (I say this secure in the certainty that a GOTD title will soon be presented using one or the other of these "corrections.") ;-) ∞ |

 | | Annie K.: Tal means 'dew'. Shaked (pronounced Shuck-ED) means 'almond'. Just saying... ;) |
|
| Feb-05-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, GM Tal Shaked. |

|
| Feb-02-21 | | Tadeusz Nida: he won on tie breaks vs bartlomiej macieja but macieja was better player at the time:
Game Collection: 1997 World Junior chess championship
macieja was supposed to play stan vaughan for sv's world championship but talks broke! http://encyclopediasupreme.org/0000...
Interesting fact: prokofiev died on same day tyran stalin and almost nobody noticed:
http://encyclopediasupreme.org/0000...

 | | perfidious: <he won on tie breaks vs bartlomiej macieja but macieja was better player at the time...> Which proves absolutely nothing.
Yawn. |
|
| Feb-02-21 | | Granny O Doul: Shaked actually tied with Vigen Mirumian. Macieja was a few places back. Among the other also-rans were Movsesian, Morozevich, and Kasimdzhanov. Interesting fact--Michael Jackson ( https://www.fanpop.com/clubs/cherl1... ) died the same day as Farrah Fawcett: ( https://www.amazon.com/Charlies-Pro...) . I realize these links will go stale in time, but memento mori, and sic transit gloria mundi. |
|
| Feb-02-21 | | Caissanist: Another mention of <Stan Vaughan> and the so called <World Chess Federation>? Very cool! Even if Macieja had succeeded in dethroning Vaughn, though, I don't think he would ever have matched Vaughn's magnificent 4415 rating on the WCF list, 1500 points higher than #2 Bobby Fischer. |

what tie breaks? they did not play each other? whats link to stan's rating? |
|
| Aug-27-23 | | generror: I'm sure it has been made a million times, but let me make this a millionth-and-one time: It should be Tal *Shook*, of course. |
