Feb-05-11 | | KingG: Does anyone know how many languages this guy speaks? I've seen him present a chessbase video in German, and his French accent seems pretty good when he reads out French names and places, so it's very possible he speaks that as well. |

 | | Richard Taylor: All the best Daniel!
<wordfunph -
He knows 1 million languages.> |
|
Aug-29-12 | | jahhaj: Can't believe there's no photo of Danny. Longtime Guardian TV critic Nancy Banks Smith once described him as 'the kind of man for whom the adjective Byronic was invented'. |

 | | HeMateMe: I noticed a recent story on chessbase saying that Daniel King sings and plays guitar, as well as all of his chess activities. I searched utube for a jam session, but only found chess videos. More's the pity. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel...> |
|
Oct-03-13 | | jancotianno: One of the best chess analysers. His youtube channel is fantastic. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: You suppose he gets laid much? He looks very confident, and seems to have a lot of Interests outside of chess. Girls like that. You don't have to be a GM to be a babe magnet, do you? |
|
Oct-12-14 | | crazyim5: One of the greatest Chess commentators of all time and his profile gets no photo?! |
|
Nov-26-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: Danny and Simon Williams will be commentationg on the Qatar Open 2014, which features Kramnik(!!) amongst others. http://www.qatarmastersopen.com/vid... |
|
May-11-15 | | TheFocus: <Having spent alarmingly large chunks of my life studying the white side of the Open Sicilian, I find myself asking, why did I bother?> - Daniel King. |
|
Jun-12-15 | | waustad: This year he'll be doing summaries of the day's events at the Mitropa Cup. I'd seen that it is being broadcast via chess-results, but chessbase will be doing commentary too. |
|
Apr-03-16 | | Octavia: <Can't believe there's no photo of Danny.> I agree |
|
Apr-03-16 | | mckmac: <Octavia> <Can't believe there is no photo of Danny> I agree too. Surely GM King deserves his high profile on the media side of contemporary chess. |
|
Aug-18-16 | | mckmac: <jahhaj> Crikey, Your call for a photo for Daniel King was four years ago...I think we need to get up a petition. I know there are hardworking volunteers who look after this sort of thing, but one hesitates before imposing. <...for whom the adjective Byronic was invented.> Of course blokes can't get away with this kind of journalistic malarkey these days:)
Probably a good thing too.
But Byron did say "In play there are two pleasures for your choosing; The one is in the winning and the other the losing", which is quoted in a book by IM Angus Dunnington. |

Aug-28-16 | | diagonal: Happy birthday Dan, best wishes from Switzerland! Dan beating Anand, <winning at Goodricke Open in Kolkota>:

 | | HeMateMe: Didn't King represent England in one or two Olympiads? I think I saw that in Walter Browne's book. |
|
Aug-29-16 | | diagonal: European Team Championship yes, in Haifa (1989) on board four - but apparently not at Chess Olympiads: http://www.olimpbase.org/1989e/1989... (ETCC), http://www.olimpbase.org/playerse/d... |
|
Aug-30-16 | | JimNorCal: re: getting a photo posted. Access any search engine, such as bing.com, enter a search string like "gm daniel king photo" and a nice set of images will display.
However, most/all will be annotated "may be subject to copyright". I wonder if that could be an issue. |
|
Aug-26-18 | | Returning Native: There's a good picture in the book 'Sveshnikov vs the anti Sicilians' plus many other more or less hilarious pictures of past and present chess greats. |
