| Dec-14-10 | | theodor: theodor: < Benzol: <waddayaplay>> <His name is given as Viorel in all major chess magazines. There's another story, concerning my given name. Mama wanted to call me Viorel from the begining - in fact, that's what she calls me to this day. The problem with that is, there's no such name in the Orthodox baptistery; so they wrote my name as Victor. This is the name that adorns all my official papers, including the rating-list. In Moldovian, Viorel means "violet", while Victor is Latin for "winner". So it is that I have spent my whole life oscillating between two personas: the romantic, cheerful, sweet Moldovian Viorel, and the dry, direct, powerfully driven-to-win, sportingly evil Latin Victor. - from "Victor Bologan Selected Games 1985 - 2004".> I think 'viorel' is nearer to fiore(italian - flower, than to viola - violet!). italians have the name fiorello. |

| Dec-14-10 | | theodor: Fiorello Henry La Guardia (pronounced /fiəˈrɛloʊ ləˈšÀwš»rdiə/; born Fiorello Enrico La Guardia; December 11, 1882 šC September 20, 1947) was Mayor of New York for three terms from 1934 to 1945 as a liberal Republican. Previously he was elected to Congress in 1916 and 1918, and again from 1922 through 1930. Irascible, energetic and charismatic, he craved publicity and is acclaimed as one of the three or four greatest mayors in American history. Only five feet tall, he was called "the Little Flower" (Fiorello is Italian for "little flower", diminutive of fiore, Italian for "flower"). |

The Gologan River or Mărioara River or Caracal River is a tributary of the Olt River in Romania. References. Administrația Națională Apelor Române - Cadastrul Apelor - București> maybe this is the ethymology of bologan. |

 | | wordfunph: "This was my first experience playing in America, and I felt like I had arrived on a different planet. The people looked the same, the houses were made of stone, and the cars rode on wheels --- but to this day, I just cannot get used to the American rhythm of life." (in 1993 New York Open) - GM Victor Bologan

| May-30-11 | | bronkenstein: Just dropped by to say few words on ViorelŽs book on KID . Sharp and ambitious with black , written with true Gelfandian love of player-researcher , pretty much to my taste =). It made me start playing my ex main (Volga) as a surprise only. PS , approx 50% of the content , made of offvariations (˝this variation is not so good for black , but...˝ ) could be removed freely , turning this into standard ˝black repertoire˝ stuff and cutting the size to more user friendly format. |

 | | hedgeh0g: Yes. In one of the most incredible rating-climbs in recent history, Bologan now lies in 19th place on the live ratings list having gained a whopping 45(!) rating points from 39 games. |
|
| Apr-29-12 | | Blunderdome: Quite a few points to gain in one rating period. Usually you only see the youngsters doing that. |

 | | Tomlinsky: On his Chessbase DVD 'English 1 c4 c5 for Black' Viktor Bologan mentions a blitz match he had online with Fischer in 2005. It is a couple of minutes into the clip on the 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.Nc3 e6 6.a3 variation. Does anyone have any more information, or games, related to this 'event'? |
