|
Aug-26-10 | | rapidcitychess: Hess looks quite different in a football suit than a real suit... |
|
Sep-23-10 | | SetNoEscapeOn: Congrats to GM Hess for winning his very first Olympiad game. |
|
Nov-12-10 | | Xeroxx: His last name is just one letter from being Chess. |
|
Feb-09-11
 | | HeMateMe: He is the Aeroflot Open. Nice to see a guy this young in a strong Euro tournament. Thats how you improve. Play stronger players; get a feel for what you need to do to improve. |
|
Feb-10-11 | | swordfish: Nice victory today against the young Norwegian GM Hammer at Aeroflot. |
|
Apr-20-11 | | wordfunph: so far so good, 5/6 in US Championship's Group B, hot Hess! |
|
Apr-20-11 | | weisyschwarz: What became of the page picture of this kid in his high school football uniform? |
|
Apr-26-11 | | Jafar219: I don`t understand, why this young and talanted American player has no profile picture?! |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Still jittery about finishing second in the Civil War? |
|
Jul-01-11 | | laskersteinitz: Why is Hess not playing at the World Open? |
|
Aug-03-11
 | | ketchuplover: He's currently playing in a Politiken 2011 event. 5/6 so far avg opponent around 2300 |
|
Aug-12-11 | | dangerhump: He finished tied for 2nd with 8/10. Great tournament for Hess, considering there were over 20 GM's playing. Could be a bright future for this 19 year old if he keeps up this kind dedication and activity. I'll be rooting for him. |
|
Aug-12-11 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @dangerhump
the problem (well, chesswise anyway) is Robert is set to start his freshman year at - I believe it is - Yale this fall. So he will be studying full time now. I haven't heard him talk at all about his intentions at the chessboard. He wasn't clear about this when he popped down to the press room at the recent US Chp. and talked with Jennifer Shahade. |
|
Aug-27-11 | | laskersteinitz: Yes, Hess will be a freshman at Yale this fall. He was admitted last year but deferred entrance for a year because of the Samford scholarship. It's unclear whether he will take part in Yale's chess club and play for them at PanAms. |
|
Aug-27-11 | | Strongest Force: Hess joins other NYC greats that have gone from NYC to Yale: Benjamin, Wilder, Litvinchuk, and Rohde. I once saw W and B at a Time Square movie watching The Mystery Of Chess Boxing. |
|
Aug-27-11 | | Strongest Force: Wilder didn't live in NYC but he was in the Apple often because he could stay at his uncle's apartment. |
|
Nov-30-11 | | feitang: Look what I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27nu... Very cool video about GM Hess |
|
Dec-23-11 | | waustad: He's presently playing in Groningen. Here is a link to the live games: http://www.schaakstadgroningen.nl/l... |
|
Dec-23-11 | | Caissanist: Ah yes, nothing like traveling 4,000 miles so you could play Daniel Naroditsky, the only other American in your section, in the third round. Thanks, guys. |
|
Dec-24-11 | | Knight13: What college does Hess attend? |
|
Dec-26-11 | | heuristic: <knight13>
college=yale, major=finance |
|
Dec-26-11 | | Shams: Great, another young talent going into Finance. Just what we need. |
|
Dec-26-11 | | frogbert: it's probably more about what hess needs, i assume. ;o) |
|
Dec-30-11 | | Knight13: <Shams> Well, what did you have in mind? |
