 | | technical draw: <tamar> How do you "decide" to use your father's name? Isn't it a given? |
|

 | | tamar: There are examples like Kasparov of using the mother's name. The German Chessbase stories in 1999 did not specify, but said when he repatriated to Germany, he decided to use his German father's name. |

Yes, I mentioned that on this website quite a while ago. |
|
Feb-13-04 | | tud: Harry Weinstein did not sound for communist Russia very sexy. Welcome Garry Kasparov. |
|
Feb-13-04 | | PinkPanther: <tud>
Doesn't sound very sexy to me either. By the way, Vladimir Kramnik's name is actually Sokolov. |
|
Feb-13-04 | | marcus13: How Vladimir Kramnik name can be solokov??? |
|

Feb-14-04 | | marcus13: Thanks strange coincidence isn't it. |
|
Feb-14-04 | | Bitzovich: Wow, i t has some really PIQUANT info on Kramnik in that interview... |
|
Feb-15-04 | | Lawrence: PP, if you read the chessbase.com article you will see that Vladimir Kramnik's name was never Sokolov. |
|
Feb-15-04 | | PinkPanther: No but his dad's name was and therefore his should have been. The name Sokolov "is in his blood", the name Kramnik isn't. It's simply a name his father assumed and passed down to him. |
|
Apr-06-04 | | Vischer: Vladimir Sokolov? |
|
Jul-29-04 | | Giancarlo: This guy is the german champ? |

Jun-07-07 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: Graf looks concerned about the arisen position even before his opponent makes his first move (see the page's 2nd pic). http://www.chessbase.com/eventartic... |
|
Aug-26-07 | | whiteshark: <Autoreparaturwerkbau> or simply concentration, that's what I guess. |
|
Aug-31-07 | | Marmot PFL: <There are examples like Kasparov of using the mother's name.> I understood that his father's name was Weinstein and his mother's was Kasparian, but that neither sounded as russian as Kasparov. I have also heard rumors that Fischer's father wasn't named Fischer as well. |

|
Sep-30-11 | | nummerzwei: Frank Zeller on Graf: <Graf is known for employing a wide arsenal of openings. Always striving for creative variety, he is not one of those who specialize in particular variations.
With his enormous chess understanding and experience, he is busy making plans early on in every game, at a stage when other grandmasters are simply reeling off their preparations.
It is thus only natural for him to get into time-trouble as often as he does.
Graf's ambitious approach can be exhausting, but his ascetic appearance illustrates that he is prepared to sacrifice energy in the course of the chess struggle.> |

 | | offramp: His uncle was a count. Graf Graf. |
|
Aug-25-13 | | JoergWalter: and he married steffie graf... |
|
Apr-17-17 | | paavoh: Good to see him in action in Grenke Open 2017. I thought he had retired, and indeed there are two gaps without games during 2009-2012 and 2012-2016 in the CG database. |
