| Jul-12-06 | | stanleys: Our beloved Kirsan Ilyumjinov heads the FIDE - so everybody has a chance to become a GM and to achieve 2600 in no time :) |
|
| Jul-16-06 | | Karpova: <But what would you expect from the man, who writes that only 4 Russians are younger than 20 years?> would mean a drastic decline in the birth rate. |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | Mameluk: Afromeev rocks, 2635 rating in October Elo list. Isn´t 2635 the magic Crisan´s rating, too? |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | Mameluk: Well, so probably just 2628, they have 1 tournament twice there. If they will check it. |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | percyblakeney: Afromeev is now ahead of players like Inarkiev and Khalifman, fascinating :-) |

 | | Open Defence: doesn't he know the Afro went out in the 1970's ? |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | technical draw: <Open Defence> What? Are you sure? Oh well, I'll get a haircut, put on my bell bottoms and everything is groovy! |
|
Oct-01-06
| | Open Defence: don't forget to put James Brown's play dat funky music on.... |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | technical draw: How do you know the 70's are gone? Did you hear it through the grapevine? |
|
Oct-02-06
| | Open Defence: <How do you know the 70's are gone> oh yeah good one.. after all Fischer still claims he is Champ :-) |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | skiskichess5: Afromeev has now goen up 15 point to 2635. He has even fewer games in the database than Crisan |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | Petrosian63: Why doesn't Afromeev have a lot of games in the database? |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | technical draw: This guy is strange. He is the highest rated non-GM. Considered more of an organizer than a player. |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | Karpova: he is just a cheater who bought a rating |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | skiskichess5: Karpova ... or anyone ... what simply is the answer to Petrosian63's question ? My assumption is that the games from the tournament's in which he plays are simply never submitted to chessgames. I'm sure it's not becasue they are never played. But what determines what is submitted. There are games by quite weak players on the site. FIDE made Crisan play a tournament when, I think, he had more games than Afromeev does. |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | skiskichess5: Something that amazes me is that there are so few posts on this page. People go on and on about how bad FIDE has been for this and that ... like the chaos in Elista ... but don't seem to care at all about the Afromeev situation. |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | Mameluk: How long did it take till FIDE punished Kirsan? Oh, pardon, Crisan? Maybe Afromeev has Kirsan in hand, and he can do nothing about it:) |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | skiskichess5: Game 1 of Afromeev against Markosian is mentioned here in a famous context.
Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2000 |

 | | Domdaniel: <skiskichess5> you could maybe try putting your database question to User: chessgames.com - they're good about answering. The database here is still a lot smaller than some of the big online ones, never mind the commercial ones. But it's growing fast. |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | skiskichess5: Afromeev's rating has been corrected on FIDE site, now he has gone up only 8 points |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | skiskichess5: I look at chesslab.com which has 2 million games.
Afromeev has 26 games there inclduing some 2006 games |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | skiskichess5: <domdaniel> thanks for suggestion, I've asked chessgames about this |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | AlexandraThess: This guy is the oldest player in top 100 along with Karpov! |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | mojoXX: <Alexandra> I was reading your profile and I was surprised to see that you like playing the KID, which is very sharp. I understand you using the caro-kann against e4 since you like position play. Why not play QID, Nimzo, or even QGD, which are more positional in nature? BTW, thanks for reading that Russian link for us. |
|
| Oct-03-06 | | mojoXX: This is sad. If Afromeev was a legitimate FM, wasn't that title good enough for him? Instead of being a manufactured GM? |
