Nov-10-04  sandy simpson: Since the Sergei Shipov we all know from kasparovchess.com was born in 1966, presumably the game from 1967 is a different player.
Nov-10-04  jcmoral: Maybe he was a child prodigy. :P
Nov-11-04  sandy simpson: The trouble with prodigies this young is that they get discouraged too easily - one loss and then no serious game for 23yrs. I was right to prevent my offspring from entering tournaments under 2.

Plaskett really took advantage of the backward e-pawn and the uncastled king.

Jul-05-06  sleepkid: Apparently practicing his evil eye in that picture...

...and doing quite well I might add.

Jan-03-07  square dance: shipov is my favorite 1 minute player on playchess. his eye for tactics at that speed is pretty impressive.
Mar-09-07  Tamerlan: I have read many chessbooks of Shipov:
he is a good player.
Apr-12-07  CFMEU: Shipov is currently playing in the Sydney International Open. Interesting to see how he goes against the ANZACs
Apr-15-07  whatthefat: <CFMEU>

Not too well it would seem! Ouch...

Apr-15-07  NakoSonorense: Is this player the 'cheap' version of Alexey Shirov?
Apr-15-07  NakoSonorense: Aight, I gotta say that I'm LingMAO. xD
Apr-19-07  CFMEU: There is an opinion held by some here in Australia that the holiday is more inviting than the chess tournament....
Dec-26-07  DarthStapler: I know this guy from ICC

http://www.chessbase.com/news/2009/...

<Sergey Shipov (born 17 April 1966) is a Russian grandmaster, whose peak FIDE rating of 2662 put him at no. 23 in the world on the January 1999 rating list. He is a well-known and highly regarded trainer, and is well-known in his native Moscow as an outstanding blitz player. Indeed, for a number of years, he was a regular practice partner of Garry Kasparov, who described him as one of the best blitz players in the city. He is the author of two books, one on the Kasparov-Kramnik match of 2000 (co-authored with the legendary Russian chess commentator Yakov Damsky), and one on the Hedghog System. An English edition of the latter is due to be published later this year. In recent years, he has established a strong reputation amongst Russian-speaking audiences as an online live commentator over the internet, for the Russian site http://www.crestbook.com/ >

Interview

http://www.chesscafe.com/text/misha...

(by Misha Savinov)

Sep-05-09  percyblakeney: Some quotes from an interview with Shipov:

<the best chess players in the world are the best in blitz too>

<if Karpov plays like he did in San-Sebastian 2009, he’s going to be mercilessly crushed>

<Before the Anand-Kramnik encounter I predicted that it is going to end with an impressive victory of one of the players, and I was right. But I didn’t exactly choose Anand. Now it makes sense to question the experts if the match will take place at all. For example, I am not sure that it will happen>

<Best chess player of all time? Kasparov, by far>

Apr-17-10  whiteshark: Happy Birthday, <Sergey Shipov>!

and many thanks for you phantastic chess work, too.

Dec-15-10  SufferingBruin: People here get annoyed when one member tries to speak for all. But if Sergey reads these boards at all, he'll know that I'm not the only one that appreciates his commentary on the London Chess Classic. I'm virtually alone in my argument that Chess would make good television. Sergey's analysis was worthy of a great sports commentator--accessible, educational, entertaining.

Bravo, Sergey.
